This is furtherance of the Jihadists enslavement of the aboriginal Yoruba people. They have subjugated them, enslaved them and annihilated them using Islam. Yorubas who owned the land before Afonj.a betrayer sold his people to the invading Jihadists from Futa Jalon.

Islam, religion of Piss indeed.

Ilorin is even far less than 10% of the entire Kwara State and the other areas are not the precincts of the Emirate.

What I don't understand is the naming of the newly turbaned guy.
He has Olayiwola and Gobir in his name.

Gobir is a Hausa town in Sokoto State and Olayiwola is a Yoruba name. So does he have dual ethnicity parents? Is he both Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba?

I noticed the naming style with most Ilorin people.

Bukola Saraki - Former Governor and SP

I am proud to be an indigene of Ilorin

We have ye highest number of professors living in the state

We have the highest number of Muslim clerics in the country

Ilorin still belongs to Yoruba despite as some people might have opposed.

Yoruba tribe still makes 70 percent of the tribes in the state

And the most intriguing part is that all these Fulani defendants and other tribes in the state only speaks Yoruba as their languages and don't even sound Fulani at all

Ilorin ni mi anywhere and any day

It's Fulani perfected art of chicanery by assuming your identity, culture and language, they make you feel as if they are one and the same as you while devising means of subjugating you politically and traditionally. It's a semblance of what happened in northern Nigeria.

They're very crafty set of people

This particular one would never end.

The Fulanis controlling Ilorin have craftily devised and used religion as a means to control the people there. Ilorin indigenes see the emir as their lord and saviour. They pride themselves the purest and most potents of the islamic clerics, with the emir at fore front that. Even the majority Yorubas in Ilorin would rather die than allow a Yoruba Oba to rule over them. That's the lowest of what religion brainwashing can cause.

One can live in an area even up to 50 years and not know much about the location,Nobody talks about these small Obas in kwara,it’s always the Emir of ilorin

It was a day of cultural pride and royal splendor at the Palace of the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, as Alhaji Yakubu Olayiwola Gobir was officially turbaned as the 10th Sarkin Gobir of Ilorin Emirate.

The Emir, while performing the turbaning ceremony on Friday, February 21, 2025, urged the new titleholder to uphold the virtues of selflessness, integrity, and community service that earned him the prestigious title.

Speaking at the event, the Emir of Ilorin described Alhaji Yakubu Gobir, who also holds the title of Madawaki of Ilorin, as a man dedicated to the welfare of his people.

“Alhaji Yakubu Gobir is a true son of Ilorin, and I am proud of him. He has consistently demonstrated a commitment to community development and the upliftment of the less privileged. With this new role, you must unite the Gobir clan and continue to promote the rich cultural heritage of this Emirate. May Almighty Allah guide you aright.”

Dignitaries Celebrate New Sarkin Gobir

Among the prominent figures who graced the occasion was Prof. Hon. Ali Ahmad (SAN), former Speaker of the Kwara State House of Assembly and former House of Representatives member, who described the newly turbaned Sarkin Gobir as a distinguished cultural leader and devout Muslim.

“He deserves this honor due to his proven pedigree, character, and hard work. Now, with both a traditional and honorary title, I congratulate him on this milestone,” he remarked.

The turbaning ceremony attracted several dignitaries from within and beyond Kwara State, including Hon. Moshood Mustapha (Wakilin Ngeri), Dr. Alimi AbdulRazaq (elder brother of the Kwara State Governor and Mutawali Ngeri of Ilorin), Alhaji Abubakar Sulu-Gambari (Chiroma of Ilorin), Senator Abdullahi Gobir (Sokoto State), Alhaji Abdulkadir Attahiru Adamu Manko (Chairman, HAM Foundation), Professor Aisha Gobir, Professor Olaolu Ali (SAN), Hon. Ganiyu Cook Olododo (Mai Gaskiya Ilorin), Hajia Sa’adatu Modibbo-Kawu (Kwara State Commissioner for Education), Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim (Sarkin Hausawa of Kwara State), Alhaji Lukman Mustapha (Chairman, Board of Directors, Sobi FM), Professor Suleiman Abubakar Amana, and Alhaji Tajudeen AbdulKadir (The Makama of Lafiaji), among others.

Royal Procession Marks Historic Occasion

Following the turbaning ceremony, Alhaji Yakubu Gobir rode on horseback in a grand procession to the Emir’s Palace, accompanied by a large crowd of well-wishers. The colorful display of Ilorin’s rich cultural heritage reaffirmed the deep-rooted traditions of the emirate.

Later in the day, a prayer session was organized in honor of the new Sarkin Gobir at his family compound. The prayer service was led by the Chief Imam of Gambari, Sheikh Suleiman AbdulAzeez, who prayed for wisdom, strength, and divine guidance for the new traditional leader as he assumes his new role.

The event further cements Alhaji Yakubu Gobir’s status as a key figure in Ilorin’s traditional leadership, tasked with the responsibility of fostering unity within the Gobir clan and advancing the Emirate’s cultural legacy.

He is a good man.
