yes we are Yoruba Muslims and owns all Yoruba land from ilorin to Lagos. we own 65% of Yoruba land and we determine what happens in Yoruba land. We are the real owners of Yoruba land. No Yoruba christian can dictate for us what to do.

We own Lagos (60% population)
we own Oyo (60% population)
we own ilorin (80% population)
and other Yoruba states where we have 50/50 population or slightly 45/55%.

Yoruba christians should respect us that's all we want. Time to be quiet has passed.
Why don’t you just go and rescue your SE from Simon Ekpa and IPOB before they destroy what is left of it

There is no such tribe as Yoruba Muslims all are Yorubas

Re: Is Ilorin Not A Yoruba Land by RedboneSmith(m):
When people say Ilorin has an emir and not an ọba, the question I usually ask them is: do Ilorin people actually call their ruler 'emir' when they are not speaking English?

The answer I get is no. When Ilorin people talk about their ruler in their native language, what they call him is ọba.

'Emir' was introduced into our national discourse by the British. Even the emirs of Northern Nigeria are called sarki, and only called emir when English is being spoken. The Emir of Kano and the Emir of Katsina, are Sarkin Kano and Sarkin Katsina, respectively.

The Emir of Ilorin is Ọba Ilorin. Don't take my word for it, go and talk to an old non-English speaking Ilorin indigene.

With the banning of some aspect of Yoruba culture y the Emir. It is alleged that the culture fetish ....and when Soyinka wanted to speak he was called clout chaser

The big question , considering that the city of Ilorin has Emir not Oba ,can we say that Ilorin isn't Yoruba land


Let's have this conversation
The way Nigerians describe ethnicity is very weird. The Nigerian idea of ethnic identity does not recognise assimilation. This is why an Ilorin man who is Yoruba for all intent and purpose will be arguing that he is not Yoruba, based on some Fulani or Hausa or Nupe ancestry from 200 years ago that no longer has any bearing on his life in 2023.

Ilorin is a Yoruba town. The major fraction are indigenous Yorùbá of Oyo extraction. The smaller but politically prominent fraction are assimilated Yorubas of Hausa, Fulani and Nupe extraction.

Do you actually think Muslims in Lagos are up to 60%?
And Oyo state a whooping 80%? Ibadan, ogbomosho, Oyo, iseyin, saki and environment?

We have moved from Ilorin matter cos it's lost. You people should also move on from your land that was taken from you and cede to SS.

The Igbo's living in any part of SS are merely a resident
all your life in nairaland is spent on self-denial and nirvana fallacies!

Igbos in the South South from creation of regions has always been in the Midwest region since 1993 with minority tribes from the south

Immediate past governor of Delta is Igbo. All Rivers state past governors since 1999 were igbo-speaking.

You need mental deliverance before you chock on stupidity
