Trinidad and Tobago is holding a carnival where they are proudly displaying their Nigerian heritage.

They divided their capital city, Port of Spain (below) on a map in accordance with the various parts of Nigeria they came from.

See 'Yoruba Village' map below.

When did Lagos become the core of Yorubaland?

Right from the history of time, Lagos has always been distinct from Yoruba land, when the Portuguese (first Europeans) arrived in Eko, it was been ruled by the Bini Empire that ruled it until 1861 when the British Empire officially liberated Lagos from The Oba of Benin.

The British ruled it for 99 years & handed it over to The Federal Government of Nigeria in 1960 who then created modern Lagos State on the 4th day of July 1967.

Lagos is part and parcel of Yorubaland.. no amount of falsehood from outsiders like you will change that fact.

That is not the argument, just correcting u, old Oyo (Oyo & Osun) State is the core of Yorubaland not Lagos.

Exactly.

The funny thing is that even though more Igbos were enslaved, there is ZERO trace of their Igbo culture among any of the black diaspora.

It's like the whites flogged it out of them and they abandoned their traditions immediately, and turned to self-haters and white men in black skin.

Ebo day is celebrated in the state of Georgia.

It's not about Ebo day. Do they remember their culture and traditions, and traditional religion?

Or do they spit on their traditional religion in their desperation to worship 'white Jesus' like Soludo has been doing, chasing and persecuting traditional priests in Anambra?

There is a BIG difference in racial and cultural pride between Igbos and Yorubas. It is very obvious.

You need to learn from Yorubas to be proud of your culture and traditions, including your traditional religion, and honor it over and above any other culture.

Different strokes for different folks, they Igbos must not necessarily be like u, & them that till today still do sacrifices & rituals all in the name of tradition.

That is why in those core Yoruba states, once you hear skull in the headline news, u know the region.

Stop talking crap.

This is the same inferiority complex and self hate that has made your culture disappear in the diaspora. Using one bad thing that happens in your religion to condemn the entire religion.

Christian priests have raped children, boys, and sexually abused their congregation all over the world for centuries till today. Some ordain same sex marriages, LGBTQ marriages etc.

Yahoo boys, kidnappers etc go for blessings in christian churches today.

Many christian priests blessed and prayed with Adolf Hitler when he was slaughtering millions of his people in Germany.

None of this has EVER made you condemn or reject christianity. Your real problem is colonial brainwashing.

Yorubas are much much harder to brainwash than you. Even the Yorubas that are christians and muslims do not disrespect their traditional religion or those who practice it.

At the rate you guys are going, you will finally get your wish of becoming anonymous white men in black skin (coconuts) with no originality of anything, and no memory of your existence once you're gone.

Ignorant, illiterate, imbecilic, low IQ reasoning.

GET OUT FROM THIS THREAD, let us celebrate Yoruba culture in the Caribbean and the world, since you are non-entities and nobody knows you there (except as the world's biggest drug traffickers). Isn't everything about money in your immoral, debased heads?

We are not discussing money here so get out!

You are obviously not Yoruba and that explains your fraudulent account of the Yoruba people who you don't know their history. Lagos is not even the most diverse of part of Yoruba land. As at 1872, no member of your tribe is even in Lagos!

The population of Lagos Colony was analysed into 'Yoruba' and 'Non-Yoruba' tribes:

1. Eko tribe had fallen from 57% in 1872 to 23.6% 20 years later.
2. Popo or Egun tribe was 15.85%,

3. Other Yoruba groups
Oyo - 11.6%
Ijebu - 11.01%
Awori - 9.26%
Egba - 6.05%
Ijesha - 4.32%
Egbado - 3.63%
Ekiti/Efon people - 1.76%

4. Non-Yoruba groups
Nupe/Tapa - 1.86%
Hausa - 1.86%
The Kru - 1.37%.

Lagos has always been Yorubaland and the presence of others is not any way different from the other parts of Yorubaland because of the accommodating nature of the Yoruba and we don't and have never practiced cannibalism.

As at 1872, there are other parts of Yorubaland that are far more diversed than Lagos.


The Yoruba are the only group of Africans who retained their culture and religion even in foreign lands they were shipped to. Only the Yoruba! The Yoruba have always been highly populated and have a sophisticated system of government. The Yoruba even produced the Bini royalty through Oranmiyan.

Located in the Caribbean island of the Bahamas is Yoruba House, dedicated to freed Yoruba slave descendants. Picture below.

Was Lagos part of the Western Region of Nigeria, if it wasn’t, how could it be the core of Yorubaland?

Why was the capital of western region situated in Ibadan?

Old Oyo now Osun & present Oyo state is the core Yoruba Land not Lagos o.

Smh. Please go and educate yourself on your own history first before dabbling into that of others. The history of the Yoruba is well preserved and predates Nigeria. Lagos has always been part of Yorubaland just like several Yoruba communities with direct access to the Atlantic Ocean in current day Ondo, Ogun states. The Yoruba are the only majority population in southern Nigeria till date.

It's disrespectful to attempt to revise the history of people who you don't know their history.
