I really shouldn't reply, but I'll give it one try. What does "liberated slave from Oyo" in the passage that you quoted mean to you?

I saw that part.... Don't let that part fool you... it's a lie...

Ehen! You see! I said it!

You were there when he was born. You were there when he was enslaved. Therefore, you know more about him than he knows about himself.

That's wonderful.

He was actually taken from Turkmenistan.

Oyo in that time refers to the Oyo which includes present day Kwara in the Oyo Empire and the seat of power of the Oyo Empire...

It will be impossible to enslave a Yoruba person in the place where the best Yoruba warriors and soldiers will be located in high numbers and the seat of political, economic and social power of the Yoruba Empire..

Unless the people doing the slavery were Yorubas which also means he ( Randle ) will never return to the empire that enslaved him because they ( Yoruba Slave owners if there was ever any ) will still recognize him and probably kill him..

I far as I know.. there were never any Yoruba slave owners in real life... its only in books written by the br:istish or E:uropeans that claims Africans enslaved people in order for the e:uropeans to justify their enslavement of black people globally..

Another thing is the post says "Dr John Kehinde "JK" Randle was born in Sierra Leone in 1855. His father, Thomas Randle, was a liberated slave from Oyo,"...

If his father was Yoruba then his name won't be Thomas Randle.. it will be a Yoruba name with no e:nglish name at all..

The funny guy above thinks that I am going to take him seriously and read anything that he writes. That must be the joke of the year.

I've got better things to do with my time and I only read posts by and respond to serious people.

Bishop Ajayi Crowther that took the Christian Gospel to Igboland against the will of the Anglican church establishment was an Oyo Man from Osogun near Iseyin in Oyo State

You're not Yoruba, you are suffering from colonial mentality... because if you were you'll know speaking e:nglish is not a sign of smartness and intelligence..

and you also described as it as "impeccable English" meanwhile you have never ever complimented your fellow Yorubas and Nigerians for speaking "impeccable Yoruba" and "impeccable Igbo" and "impeccable Hausa".. you have never ever described the indigenous languages as "impeccable" and that's a sign of colo-mentality. you're colo-mental..

Nigeria already has mono-culture and merit based system but your colonial mentality is preventing you from seeing it...

In Nigeria, some regions speak one language and have one culture and that's mono-culture...

there's nothing like a Nigerian culture.. because the word Nigerian is not referring to any Ethnic group or Ethnic nation...

In summary, there is no ethnicity known as Nigerian..

You're a fool and a petty-minded idiot. Did I tell you Nigerians cannot speak impeccable English, Igbo or Yoruba?

Yet, how is Yoruba and Igbo important at the international Airport of any ambitious nation that wants to host, converse with and entertain visitors from all corners of the world?

Has English stopped being the most spoken language worldwide?

My point is that, if open to becoming a first-class nation ready to engage the world, why not present those who can communicate proficiently, at the most universally spoken language, and impressively with visitors to Nigeria? What has this got to do with your clannish involvement of proficiency at Yoruba or Igbo language?

Are you trying to be a clannish nation or an international one? An international Airport is a place where linguistic competence should be a prerequisite condition for a meet, greet and assist job. Same as proficiency at speaking a second language gives higher employment opportunities anywhere in the West today.

Some of you frustrated losers just have your hate radar primed on who to attack and that is why you cannot simply understand the simple and progressive point folks make. I.e put your best feet and people forward.

Empower merit, professional education and solutions providers. Shun 'one Nigeria' quota system insanity that leaves our well-educated graduates at home for illiterate relatives of those who control political power.

Simple principles that have given us the most developed nations of the world today.

Is the thread not about J. K. Randle?
Is Randle not the surname?
Maybe everyone claiming to be a Lagosian is an undefined Atøhunrinwa like ThiefNuibu who has no primary nor secondary school certificate, and could be from Benin Republic even though they say that he is from Iragbiji

As usual they must goof and continue to show their ignorance in the public space.
I'm not surprised because you refused to be schooled if not, you will read the article very well, slowly and assimilate with understanding before jumping like an headless chicken just because of a man who does not even know your existence carrying his wahala like gala over your head.
To help you again read the below very well with understanding:

Dr John Kehinde "JK" Randle was born in Sierra Leone in 1855. His father, Thomas Randle, was a liberated slave from Oyo, who had settled in Freetown. He later moved to Lagos

So what does the story tell you? Randle was not a Nigerian or a Lagosian ?

What has this now got to do with Tinubu ? Of course the hatred and bile in you has put vale in your face to read and understand
Picking wey refused to be schooled will surely be schooled from outside by outsiders.

I can't understand why people are responding to that unserious fellow. It should be obvious that his only purpose here is to derail the thread and cause fights.

There is a historical fact, but this guy says that it is a lie, not based on any facts, but based on his assumptions that are totally devoid of facts and truth. Isn't it obvious what he is trying to do?

His name was bishop crowther.. the Ajayi was a deception strategy.

If you watch Airport Security on National Geographic channel.. the Italians speak their Italian language, Spain speaks Spanish e.t.c. in their airports..

English is not an indigenous language in Nigeria and should not be the default language in the Airport.

So you actually think that Aare Ona Kakanfo Head of Warlords and Baloguns, Gani Adams is not Yoruba ?

Is it even Possible for the Alaafin to install a non Yoruba to his Highest Military Position ?

Mumu. English is Nigeria's Lingua Franca. It is our official language.

How can people like you ever be educated when you think Nigerian airport officials, at our most prominent international Airport, should welcome visitors to our nation in Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa?

English, the world's most spoken language, is our most popular language of communication and official language in Nigeria with pidgin variants.

Anyone with a functioning brain would know it is a non-negotiable consideration, for a nation with ambition, to have an international airport staffed by those with impeccable skills at speaking and understanding English which is also the common and official language of Nigeria.

Airport in Lagos should speak Yoruba. Airport in any Igbo state should speak Igbo.
Abuja airport should speak Gwari and Hausa.
Kano Airport should speak Hausa.
Borno Airport should speak kanuri and Hausa. e.t.c


Hopefully one day you'll be rescued from your colonial mentality.

You're a fool and an unexposed ignoramus who thinks brandishing Oduduwa flag up and down and calling others "kolo mental" folks hides your lack of knowledge.

In the UK today, London boroughs have translators for Urdu, Somalia, Yoruba, Igbo etal to facilitate assimilation and inclusion of all who are beneficial to society.

According to your simplistic drivel MMIA, our main international point of entry to Nigeria for all citizens of the world, should have only Yoruba language because it is in the SW abi?

What bigger signal of unwelcomeness to the world than that? You're confused bro.

Never let pride in who you are transform into a clannish form of hatred and rejection of others.

Great nations entertain and tolerate non-indigenes but dictate the overarching terms every visitor must live under and subscribe to.

It is not "unwelcomeness" to speak the indigenous language...

go and tell germany, russia, china, Korea, Japan, spain, portugal, italy, greece e.t.c. that they are unwelcoming because they speak their indigenous language in their airports and their country..

MMIA is not the main international point of entry to Nigeria.. It is the main international point of entry to the Yoruba nation..

If people want to visit Abuja then they'll land in Abuja airport. If they want to visit Rivers then they'll land in Rivers airport. if they want to visit Anambra then they'll land in Anambra airport e.t.c..

nobody is forcing anyone to land in Lagos... they bought the ticket to land in Lagos.. they could also buy ticket that land in Abuja, Rivers or Anambra or Akwa Ibom...

the SW does not represent the whole of Nigeria.
It represents the Yoruba people and Yoruba nation..

VEHINTOLAR:
Lol,Okoros from alaigbo are avoiding this thread like it's a kinda plague !

Apparently,another source of headaches for the primitive proponents of "Lagos is no man's land' ! Just like someone rightly said earlier on here,Yoruba are not in competition with any tribe,especially that insecure,primitive tribe from across the Niger ! We are the Omo Alades (Yoruba),Omo Odu - to - da - iwa,the great Omoluabis and we know our history right from Ile Ife to Oyo Ile and to the entire world ! We are the SHINNING GLORY of the entire black race - Ogo gbogbo Iran adulawo !

God bless the entire Yoruba land and all the Omoluabis !

This is the more reason why we should all work together towards a peaceful achievement of Oodua Republic to prevent the Yoruba race becoming extinct in future as a result of the activities of those that are bent in capturing the SW abd dip their Holy book into the sea. Oodua agbewa o.

Yes,Oodua agbe wa, ko ni gbe odale ! Those who are hell bent on invading our land and carry out whatever sinister agenda they have in their evil minds can only try but they will fail ! Our forefathers buried the proponents of such devilish agenda and their foot soldiers in Osogbo in the battle of 1840. If truly you're a Yoruba man,you should know that we (Yoruba) will never lose a sleep over a threat by anyone or groups to invade our land. They can come but they won't leave or go out alive ! Esho ikoyi l'emi o,I don't chestbeat. When the time comes,our adversaries will find out that they are no match for us in any way.

Let them come and they shall find out why Yoruba was NEVER conquered by any other tribes. Let them come and they will find out why YORUBA LAND is far extended beyond the shores of Nigeria boundaries ! Let them come and they will find out that the tribe (Yoruba) that fought war more than any other tribes in Africa can't be threatened with war - a visit to Imesi Ile in Osun state will convince any doubting Thomas. Ta lo n jeun t'aja n juru, Sango o pa bata,a pa jonwonjowon eti e !

Oodua a gbe wa o !

If Lagos is not a no man’s land, please explain what Randle means in Yoruba.

Olodo omo Igbo,is it lack of comprehension or an outright lack of education ? Shior,mumu with a brain that's only good for 2×2 shop business or Gala hawking ! Now,go back to that story and read it slowly or seek assistance of Google translator to translate the contents to Igbo language for you so as to understand the storyline.

Honestly,it is better for you foolish Igbo from that godforsaken land of criminals to shut or close your smelly faecal akpu eating mouth and be deemed intelligent than to open it and reveal all the stupidity in your pitiable lives ! Why don't you ask us what Hubert Macaulay too means in Yoruba language,ode ? Yoruba all over the world,from Nigeria to Cuba,Ghana to Sierra Leone,Benin republic to Brazil,to Gambia,to Togo,to the Caribbeans, etc know where they all came from. Mumu,the Tabon/Ga people of Accra in Ghana will tell you that they're Oyo people from Nigeria if you ask them and that's because it is the truth !
Did the world renowned and multiple Grammy award winner,singer and songwriter,Angelique Kiddjo ( of Benin Republic) recently not reveal that she was an Oyo woman originally from Nigeria with ancestral roots in Iseyin town,Oyo state when asked ? Yoruba people are,perhaps the only ethnic group in the whole of Africa that did not lose their language,culture and tradition to slavery and quite a number of freed slaves of Yoruba descents also came back to their land e g Bishop Ajayi Crowther and co.

Shameless,insecure osu from alaigbo,you want to claim what is not yours because you are not proud of your own tasteless and totally uninspiring OSU heritage and history,right ? OSU,if you must know,Randle na white man's name,you may call Lord Lugard to tell you its meaning ! As for Lagos, go and check the names of all the traditional rulers (Oba) of Lagos,from past to present,and tell us here if anyone of those names sounds like any of your criminal progenitors from alaigbo ! You these primitive savages from across the Niger must really think Yoruba are like you idiots with no enviable history and records.

You dey mad,that Onitsha belongs to Igala people originally doesn't make Lagos a no man's land,fool !

seguno2:

But Onitsha is not an Igbo Word

If for whatever reason Nigeria kpafuka tomorrow, Yoruba people go keep their SW and the crown jewel, Lagos. The North will share Abuja with the SW, SS per history go form alliance with the SW...

...and the SE go keep wetin? Abia and abakaliki.


Smh..
