If Yoruba were to be a country,would have the best passport in Africa. We would have the best human resources of any African country.

It would be the greatest country in Africa

Tribes literacy, dynamics, exposure, versatility and unity, is next to none!

It is not time we Yoruba people seek out the formation of a Yoruba country.
The. Nigerian experiment is not going well.

Very many tribes and tounges with accompanying differences. The Nigerian landscape will prosper when three four five countries are created out of it. Economic development will blossom and competitive activities in the new countries will encourage business expansion.

most Brazilians are genetically falling to the igbos and calabar side of Nigeria.


But the twist was/is, SW especially Lagos, was the place that hundred of thousands of Brazilian blacks settled in the SW. Another twist is that the chances of a good percentage of igbos among those returnees is high.


igbos alone were almost 5 million slaves taken. We were the forefront of fighting against islamic expansion. The whole Angola was almost 2 million slaves taken. The yorubas were traditional like the igbos, calabar, and even Benin. But when islam was pressing up on the yorubas, and oyibo people had already started their conquest; one of the deals that oyibos did with arabs during their african conquest years was that they will not enslave the muslims to Europe or wherever they were.vBut the arabs were still enslaving Africans. So, the yorubas began doing tribal marks to make the slave traders differentiate between them and other tribes that were not converting, because they (yorubas) were still newly converting to islam, but were being traded if caught in the wrong places. So, they decided to find a way to differentiate from others.


One of the cases of two street gangs wey be like cult, underground but very valid, many people know about them in Brazil, Ade gang vs mgba mgba gang. Bloody drug and territorial war. They run cool down now like 3 or so years ago, now peace organizations are building skating boards, basket ball courts, etc for their neighborhoods. Before that, serious something. Steady back to back hits.


The Brazilians are now knowing that they are from many parts of Africa and many tribes, so this oni visit, is not deeply emotional like it would have been just 10 years ago. Before that, they only knew about yoruba tribe. Am not saying yorubas were not enslaved to Brazil, but not that much. DNA is proving it as I speak, in Nigerian side alone igbos dey beat yoruba 4 to 1 or more, remember there is still Congo as a whole, with over 8 million slaves taken. Am going with realistic numbers, many books point this out. - The Europeans like to lower their numbers, to minimize their past damages.


Igbos should be reaching out to Brazilians more, and other countries. Our people taken as slaves are everywhere, and our people like to explore for other means of progress, so even in africa, igbos are genetically spread. Many igbos have been sucked in to other tribes, especially outside Nigeria. We need to be more creative with our tribal retainment. In Nigeria, out of fear, many igbos hide their identity. In foreign places, there is the case of lack of cooperation.
Remember, igbos were the first African tribe, to say they are going back to africa, when the slaves in north Carolina noticed they were igbos, they spoke the same language, then decided to go back by any means; when they found out that there was no way, they decided to die than continue to be slaves, so they walked into the water coast and many drowned, over 100 . - this was in the 1600. So, the whites did not put two igbos in the same farm field or sleeping quarters. But the twist to this, is that a few yoruba slaves, I think New Jersey, were the 1st slaves in the 1800, to organize in their slave town, to rebel against their masters. It lead to a mini war for a couple of days. They were not the only tribe that participated, but there were the leading people that did this. It was after this that returnees was passed to go back to africa, which ended up being liberia.


The igbos in north Carolina, and Virginia, also revolted many times and ended up joining with other igbos to form the country of Haiti. Igbos are also the leading dna on the Nigerian side, in jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Dominican republic, mexico,, brazil, etc.

The yorubas hosted many returnees, who in turn, assist other returnees, and also the British at this time, preferred to relate with the returnees more than the locals, remember those were the equivalent of house slave - not field slaves who were mostly the locals, due to language and culture understanding. The yorubas hosted many returnees, not really by choice, but because the British ran things then. During this returnees period, igbos have always fought the colonizers, which made igbos susceptible to slavery. Any igbo caught were enslaved or killed, because they were fighting. The British was the only people that the igbos ended up surrendering to in the early 1900s. That's how christianity started getting in more and more, then the biafran war- really expanded christianity amongst the igbos. THe red cross and all these churches that were feeding people. The igbos didn't utilize war mines then.


Anyway, I think the igbos gave up after so much losses due to technology, but also the breakdown of Africa. Before the oyibos, igbos were giving the arabs and their african foot soldiers, a new look in africa. Impenetrable. No converting. Even when the Europeans came, igbos were not locally colonized until 1902.


Many yorubas, especially the Christian ones, were mostly the Brazilians, Returnee afrobeat europe, and other west Africans. Many igbos also need to realize that some yorubas are us, that flipped to yoruba due to environment. I mean every tribe has small flips, but am talking a little over small.


*disclaimer: these are my opinions, the way I understand them are from various books and research materials I had sought to understand; in the midst of my personal and professional life. Igbos should do some awareness and future direction reflections.

We you have said this is your oersonal opinion. If the Igbos were so many as you have posited. How come non of you culture and belief survive like those of the Yorubas till this day?

You should know and accept that the Yoruba culture and language as assimilative. That tells you about the special race called THE YORUBA.

More Yorubas were taken as slaves than most other tribes and are the most valued of all slaves that were taken offshore Africa. Far more expensive than other tribesmen. They are then sought after on the slave market. He get why.

Go and read the exploits of Fashina - the Ijesha man taken as slave to Brazil. Or the son (Ade) of former King of Oyo empire's Millitary prowess in Brazil and how he helped the then emperor to secure the empire against intruders in Brazil. He was well respected and given the same privilege of prince in Brazil. The Yoruba's great success no be today. The race is special. Even the British confirmed it.

What Awolowo did was one of the best thing any black man has ever done for his country - Free Education!

Instead of Nnamdi Azikwe to do the same for his people, no he didn’t. Instead, he came to tell the western leaders he wanted to become the western premier . Them lay bed, the mofo wan con sleep on it .. No be today Igbos don dey eye Yoruba land o. It started during their forefathers era..

These and many more are part of what made Sadauna warned the northerners about the Igbos. And till date, the Igbos are still proving everything Sadauna said to be true..

MrColdsweat:
Why do you have millions of thugs on the streets despite the free education?

I love Yoruba. My wife is from Okiti pukpa in Ondo state

Phoen1X:
What are they doing in other people's land ?

viodemus:
mumu. I know say you fit be tribalist islamics. Close northern slave minded.

I'm explaining the dynamics of things. It is yorubas trying to go to brazil to form they are the dominant tribe there, which is not true.

I am not hating, I thank God for their more respectable and reliable technology, their tribal composition does not favor yorubas. It favors more igbos by a long mile. Of course, they have other Africans.


The yoruba side was painted to Brazilians as a safe haven in the 1800s, the black ship captains use to confirm it for the blacks of brazil, by the way, (there was a reason why Portuguese named it Lagos, after a state in Portugal. ). Anyways, from my understanding, (mind you Brazil is one of my adopted places). So, due to the awareness of this yoruba place in Lagos, that they can go back to, and settle in, many of the blacks began learning the culture. The dominant authority was the colonizers but if you wanted to mix with the local africans who were servants and slaves of the colonists, you had to know some cultures. Eventually, many Brazilians started dreaming about freedom, many couldn't make it, and those who could make it, tried to fit in. Most of the returnees were not the real slaves, it was mostly their children who just knew about africa after the ship captains were telling them of this better place to go in africa. Even after the british took over Lagos in 1861, Brazilians were still coming to Lagos. So it is more returnee than slaves taken from the yoruba side. They just knew the badagary port as an exit port, so it made sense to go back there.


The igbos were still fighting against raids. But when raised, they were taken to badagary and sold. Am sure very sick slaves were left to wander or killed, and am sure many wanderers that became healthy, probably flipped to the yorubas to survive.


The Brazilians are more appreciative to the yorubas for taking their people, but they forget that the yorubas didn't have that much choice at the time.


There is nothing sinister on my part, If I want to be critical, I will criticize the oni for trying to take advantage of Africans trying to know their roots, by claiming to be supreme fake king.

E get as e go be me in the future, maybe nearest future, we go begin expose am on paid internet and tv, for brazil, for impersonation and 419 nery.
