Stop typing what you don't
know here!

You're neither Yoruba nor from the
North of Nigeria so why are you posting misleading info here?

I'm aware of a prominent Sunni Yoruba imam in Kano who lead the Muslims and indigenes of Kano in prayers. The Punch had a full page interview with him in 2015 (or after 2015) and he stated he is Yoruba.

There are thousands of Yorubas who have been living for decades in Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Minna, Bauchi, etc, as big-time traders and other professions, and you would not immediately know because they
tend to live among and blend with the indigenes especially among the Yoruba Muslim Ummah. Same with
Ebiras and Auchi indigenes in Kano. Aisha Yesufu is from Auchi in Edo State but was born and raised in
Kano and you would think she is
Hausa initially. I'm NOT a Muslim
but it is good to be knowledgeable about these facts.

Centuries gone by, advanced history books that I've read indicate how Yoruba traders from Oyo Empire traded with Hausaland via the Nupe country, they also traded with Timbuktu in Mali, the Asanti Empire, and of course the Bini Empire which is closer.

Islam also was first brought into
Yorubaland by people from Mali over 500 years ago and the first mosque in Yorubaland was built
in Iwoland where Oba AbdulRasheed hails from. I read that Iwo Kingdom usually turbans their kings during coronation. In Lagos State, even in Epe (which has two monarchs one for Ijebu Epe, and the other for Eko Epe), the Eko Epe Oba is turbanned Islamically during coronation.

His ancestors fled to Epe (an Ijebu town) with Oba Kosoko after the British Naval ship bombardment of Eko Island (or Lagos Island) in 1861 after a fierce resistance.


Yorubas refered to Islam as
"Esin Imale" meaning "The
religion of Mali."

There were many indigenous
Yoruba Muslims long before the
Fulani-led jihads. This is why in the early 1800s, it was Yoruba Muslims that led a well-documented slave revolt in Bahia in Brazil because they and other Muslims from other
West African ethnicities were prevented from praying.


Read up on:
Male (Islamic) Slave Revolt in
Bahia, Brazil online via Google.
Male (derived from Imale) is the
Yoruba word still used in Brazil
for Islam.

Thank YOU for the positive thoughts.

I have very little patience for ethnic bigots and people who tell lies or speak out of deep ignorance about the North. There are highly
educated people from the Old
North as well.

We must always learn to say the truth. Thank goodness I had my high school at an FGC in the North in the 1980s and this is the one of the reasons why I'm familiar with Northern Nigerian history even though I was based in Lagos State and schooled in the North.

All the best!

ignorance is a disease. Most of these bigots have never set their foot outside their villages!

Lol.
You're right to a great extent. But some have traveled and yet they think they are superior to others.
What nonsense!

This is a fake story!

The Royal Palace of Iwo has
denied this since February
2022.

@ArewaNorth,

Oh, wow! Thanks for the mention.

I hope Oba AbdulRasheed Akanbi of Iwo treats her well while she also does the same, and learns the
Yoruba and Iwo Kingdom culture well enough since she is now the
Queen or Olori.

Also, one of Alhaji Tanko Yakasai's daughter's also got married as a second wife to Oba AbdulSaheed Elegusi of Elegusi Kingdom in Lagos State shorly before the lockdown.

So there are now 2 Northern
(Kano) women who are Oloris
or Queens in 2 Kingdoms in Yorubaland.
