So what are you trying to say?

JohnSin97:
This is false.

ivolt:
Can you quote the section of the constitution or other law that makes it illegal?

Christistruth00:
This is true

Did you know Dele Momodu owner of Ovation is actually from Edo State it was his mother that was from Osun State but he is a Yoruba man to everyone

Also Aregbesola the last Governor of Osun State’s Father is not from Osun it is Aregbesolas Mother that is from Ilesha in Osun State

A.so Governor Ambodes Father was not from Lagos it was his mother that was from Epe in Lagos State

Also Oba Tejuoso’s Throne is from his Mother’s Family , It was his Mother that was the Oba’s Daughter

Christistruth00:
If your mother is Nigerian and your father is not you claim your Mothers State of Origin

People Claiming mothers home state is too common in the South West especially if the Person is living in his mums home state he is considered to be a son of the Soil he will automatically be entitled to claim everything the indigenes are claiming

JohnSin97:
Lol....half truths just to push a narrative.

Firstly dele momodu's mother isn't even from osun state and only ignorant folks don't know that dele momodu is from Edo state whose father only settled in osun state.

The rest you mentioned are all false.....their fathers are pure Yoruba men....lol or is ambode's father an Igbo man.

Stop peddling falsehoods and half truths.

Christistruth00:
Truth is bitter Dele Momodu’s Mother is from Gbogan in Osun State

Everything mentioned is true , Ambodes Father was Ilaje from Ondo State

Newton85:
Well, this is about state of origin and not about Nigerian citizenship though.

Doradorwa:
I'm actually using my mother side too... Her surname and her state of origin...

Idiko1:
This is funny indeed. What the hell is state of origin? His/her mother's state of origin is bestowed on the chap who claims his/her mother's side of the divide.

Doradorwa:
Really? Wow

Oga, Dele Momodu's mother is from Ile-Ife in Osun State, and his father is from Edo State. The reason his full name is Ayòbámidélé Àbáyòmí Ojútelégàn
Àjàní Momodu is because of his Yoruba mother. He was born and bred in Ile Ife.

AureliusWolf:
You shouldn't be wowed because there's no Yoruba culture or norms that says that.
It's absolute nonsense.

gomojam:
Is she from Ekiti?

JohnSin97:
Even if you're right....it doesn't answer op's question. Dele has never claimed to be a Yoruba man and hasn't claimed his mother's state of origin. So what point are you driving at?

gomojam:
It might not be spelt out but it exists. Cases like that abounds in Yorubaland. I have seen a couple in my own extended family. Yoruba people are largely liberal in nature hence low discrimination tendency.

Abetterperson:
I ask this question because I want to know if it's possible to favour one mother's side, like say getting into a university and you want to use your mother's local government area because paternally you are not a citizen of that state but maternally you are a citizen

Gov Jakandes Father was also not from Lagos it was his mother that was from Lagos Island

Also Oba Tejuoso’s Throne is from his Mother’s Family , It was his Mother that was the Oba Gbagura’s Daughter

In Yoruba Culture if Your Mother is Yoruba and you can speak the Language you are considered to be Yoruba unless you yourself insist otherwise

Doradorwa:
wow... Is the practice very common with Ekiti people?. My mother is from Ekiti

Buckeyemedia1:
As long as you are Nigerian, you can run for office wherever, it is the tribalistic actions of the people that is holding Nigeria back, the Constitution guarantees you the right to be all you can be anywhere in the country as long as you are a citizen of The Federal Republic of Nigeria.

AureliusWolf:
Yoruba thoughts and beliefs are liberal but it doesn't extend to that, because whether urban or rural, Yoruba families are customarily patrilineal in nature. Every Yoruba is born into a patrilineal clan whose members are descended from a remote common ancestor.
That is the Yoruba culture and not some mere talks and canned examples you are giving.

gomojam:
No, not only Ekiti people, most Yoruba subgroup are like that. I have people like u in my family too and they are even more comfortable identifying with their mother's ethnicity. I asked if she's from Ekity because I read in a thread where u stated that you are a final student of EKSU.

Do you have an Igbo name too. Would u be willing to switch into your father's identity after meeting him? Do u like identifying as a Yoruba or not? Pls, give reasons for your answers.

I really feel for u, honestly. I wish u meet him soon hale and hearty.

Doradorwa:
I actually believe it's a little too late to switch to my father's name even of we get to meet. My husband name will be my name in few years from now. I love been Yoruba, actually it's the only identity I have so I must love it. The Yoruba culture has taught me a lot and I do not have any bad word at all. All my life has been from one Yoruba started to the other.

My igbo name is onyiyechukwu but now I'm Modupeayo. I've been with the name Modupe for a very long time now.

gomojam:
Wow, nice. So you have a fiance already. Nice. Actually, you beat me to that because I was about to ask what if you got married to a Hausa or an Igbo.

Ekiti wo lodo yin?

Doradorwa:
I'm not married yet neither am I planning to . I was just stating the fact that my future husband will be the one to give me a stable identity. I'm from Oke-mesi

gomojam:
Lol. Forgive me. There's still a chance to transfer you to Ijebu from Ekiti niyen ooo Abi u dey among I cannot marry ijebu gang?

Oke Imesi. Have u heard of Fabunmi?

Doradorwa:
lol... Ijebu keh? Ogun state is a bit far from Ekiti o . I actually stay at Sango tho so I've met a lot of people from ijebu. Someone is even very nice too me and he's from ijebu just that I don't like Ikokore but I can manage ojojo
