A growing number of Yoruba conservatives have expressed strong opposition to Beulah Adeoye’s candidacy for Oyo State Governor.

The backlash stems from Adeoye’s marriage to an Igbo woman, Ifeoma, and his decision to give his children Igbo names, Anayo and Ananya.

Critics argue that Adeoye’s actions demonstrate a lack of pride in his Yoruba heritage and may indicate divided loyalty. “When your children’s names are Anayo and Ananya, your wife is Ifeoma, and you are Beulah, then you say you are Yoruba, I have my doubt,” stated a concerned citizen online.

“At least you are not proud to be a Yoruba, that apart, Yoruba land does not want divided loyalty in our politics anymore if you want our vote”

This sentiment is echoed by other Yoruba conservatives, who insist that Adeoye’s cultural identity is at odds with his desire to lead Oyo State.

“Anyone with children who goes by the name Andela, Anaya or Anayo can’t rule any Yoruba state,” commented by seunmsg on Nairaland. “My advice, don’t waste your money”

Adeoye’s interest has raised a heated debate about cultural identity, loyalty, and leadership in Oyo state.

Adeoye wants to contest for the governorship seat under Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Adeoye who hails from Gbenagbena Compound in Ipapo in Itesiwaju Local Government Area officially joined the PDP on December 22, 2024.

As the election approaches, it remains to be seen whether Adeoye can overcome the opposition and win the support of Yoruba voters.

But Yorubas can go to London, Canada, America & forget about being Yorubas while thesame conservatives who are into tribalism against other ethnic groups especially to our close door neigbours from the East will be clapping for the Yorubas in other land as sophisticated, educated & most wide travelled.

Do thesame deeds as the Yorubas, their crying, anger, hatred, lamentations will be all over Lagos Ibadan expressway Media

The way these PhD holder people reason at times is so disappointing.

Una don start again for 2025?if he named his children hausa-fulani names will you say the same.

Yes, we used to be liberal before, but seeing what Betty Anyanwu and Adeleke's Igbo wife, to hell with liberalism

A conservative society tends to prosper and their culture will never whither away



By the way, Wife of Oyo state Gov isnt Yoruba. 1/6 is fair

Is it his children that are contesting?


Is Christopher a Yoruba name? Christopher Adebayo Alao-Akala.

What did Adeleke's do?
Yoruba men should kuku stay away from our Igbo women.
They should marry their Ramaotu's in peace.

Hausa fulanis are not bragging n making noise, Hausa fulanis will not eat from u n call u derogatory names.

Imagine the ungrateful Betty akeredolu of ondo state, someone who was rejected by her own people from contesting because she married a yoruba man, Yoruba people accepted her with both hands n u have to see how she described yorubas in a derogatory way in one of her tweets. She even directly insult pastor adeboye by saying "I am not foolish like those that ate with God"...... imagine a first lady saying that.

Once bitten twice shy, Igbos have proved they don't deserve it, this guy has been roasted on twitter n d only thing his opponent needs to do is to remind market women of what Betty did in ondo n they will come back to their senses

Anybody wey care suppose leave tribalist move on this year. Na front i dey look. My reply cost something

Did akala give his children Igbo names?

This guy is gone, he has been finished on twitter, the only thing his opponent needs is to remind market women about Betty akeredolu n it's game over

The same Betty that was rejected by her people even took ondo state money to her state n used it to give them scholarship something she didn't do for people who own d money

She even influenced contract for Igbo people n when d people got angry he wanted to arrest their leader, imagine d audacity.

We have tried to bring Igbos close n we have been bitten let's try other tribes too

Because they still have the choice of a candidate who doesn't have Igbo ties. Soon they won't.

We need to discourage intermarriage in this country, It isn't good for Igbos or Yorubas.

Intermarriage should be done based on similar cultural values, an Igbo can marry an Efik and it would be a very successful relationship, but marrying Yoruba is culturally too far and the relationship will usually be a disaster.

Since the damage is done in this case, there's no need alienating the children because of their names - they have both Yoruba and Igbo blood in them, before they grow up to become another Rhodes or Uncle Ruckus.

Who is Newsday & who are the Yoruba conservatives? Are those the same conservatives that want sharia for SW?? As u make ur bed so shall u lie on it.

Say no to intertribal relationship.
Say yes to interracial relationship

Shut up. Betty's husband's family never accepted her, in fact they called their own son omo Igbo. She gave them a pill from what they have been giving to her all along.

What does this mean for Seyi Tinubu that has been endorsed for Lagos State Governor? 😌

Bro once bitten twice shy

We are still battling d Igbo aggression of Lagos is no man's land then Betty akeredolu brought hell n now this

That man can never win n it's impossible, Betty akeredolu messed up every Igbo woman chance in Yoruba land

Imagine appointing an Igbo lady as special adviser to governor when their are thousands of Yoruba ladies?

Imagine filling Igbos with positions n nobody dare say anything?

Imagine using ondo money to go n tar roads in imo state?

Imagine insulting a Yoruba man on twitter n saying " Foolish people that ate with God" only because Baba adeboye made a joke about eating with God?

There's a pending court case in ondo now, a Yoruba contractor was given a job n he has finished the first phase, he was to b mobilised for the 2nd phase only for him to realise the job have been given to an Igbo man. The case is still in court till now

This woman messed up everywhere despite akeredolu trying to cover up but her excesses were too much n she has no respect for her husband people, so I don't blame anyone who rejects this guy

Once bitten twice shy

If PDP should make this mistake then APC will just present Adelabu n win steady

Paramakina202 with all these do u still believe they are judging her in a negative way or saying what they saw?

Thank you

Let's blame Bettys & Adelekes our neigbours from the East about the Ronus

In 1979 Ronu conservatives triabalists have been existing

Tochi360:

So u think a family will just reject their sons wife like that?

So u think she didn't do anything?

So her husband family gave her problem n she messed up d whole state when she had d power right?

I guess it was the whole state that gave her problem when she was having issues with her husband's family?

Since she gave them a pill then we all can give igbos a pill too

Incase u see any aspiring governor in Igbo land with Yoruba wife u can reject him too

U igbos have proven u shouldn't b allowed to come close

We are still battling Lagos is no man's land by Igbos
Then chinedu wanted to b governor
Then Betty akeredolu brought hell in ondo
Now an inspiring Igbo first lady in oyo

Go to twitter n see his candidacy is dead on arrival, everyone is praying PDP makes that mistake so APC can take over oyo

There are failed marriages in people that married from their villages even in some cases of first cousins who got married and still divorced.
Betty marriage to her husband should be considered as successful as they lived together in peace till the man passed away it is Yoruba tribalist who are judging her in a negative way.However people will continue to marry from any place they found love.Nigerians do marry oyibo so nothing can stop them from getting married to each other that is a wishful thinking.

It's far from it

It’s great now that Yorubas knows their only enemy,and it’s time to start treating them in the language they understand !

Ibos before the election said if ever tinubu becomes the president which is impossible,mc oluomo their small God will be made minister of transport! There you go,mc is now the minister of transport or governor of Lagos as you iPod retards predicted??

It's Igbos not Ibo. You're not an illiterate and should have learnt that by now.

If I have the full rights to a property in Lagos and pay my taxes to Lagos State 'promptly', have you any reason to deny me my other civic rights in Lagos?

I think most of us by percentage were also of the opinion that Buhari should not be President, being that he was nowhere near the best we as a country has to offer.. Well, who had the last laugh?

I mean, y'all practically bloodied and buried Buhari's tenure from a different side of the same mouth you used to praise the same tenure.
