He just told the North "I'm not Yoruba, I'm one of you" when the North complained that Tinubu appointed mostly Yorubas to his Cabinet. That's exactly how most Ilorin people think when ask to choose.
Most of those arguments are senseless because someone else can accuse Tinubu or northernersing the nnpc

Lol, we kuku perfectly understand his game. It's allowed. As long as positivity is the end-game.

Where he is denying his yorubaness, one Kemi in London is vocalizing her yorubaness, in a rather weird circumstance though. So, all is fair, as long as it's for positivity.
Stop saying crap.

The NNPC boss never denied being Yoruba in any way. He only stayed that he is Yoruba and a Northerner which is a fact.

There are Yorubas in the north and it is not strange because not all Yorubas are in the south west of Nigeria.

There are Yorubas in Togo and Benin republic

There are

I don't know why my spirit doesn't go well with this man.. I just hope he won't sabotage National interest to favour Dangote.

Dangote has made significant investments yen yen yen.. didn't FG give him concessions, tax holidays, waivers etc.?.. what about the money Emefiele pumped into his project running into billions?. What of the FX racketeering and other expose made against the man?.. when will EFCC probe him and retrieve Nigeria's commonwealth from him.

Mr Ojulari, your allegiance should be first to Nigeria and not to any businessman/ private business owner out to make profit. Please be guided.
you are definitely Igbo, always anti Nigeria and anti dangote for his pan Nigerian business outlook

The man Ojulari is from Igbomina pure Yoruba town known as OKE ODE in Kwara State,not from ILORIN as stated.
There are too many young unintelligent trolls and young people who lack a deep knowledge of history posting on this thread.
Even Seun Okinbloye of Channels Television who hails from Kwara State refers to himself as a Northerner which is a FACT of history based on geographical location.


There are indigenous Yoruba folks in Kwara State in 12 out of the 16 Local Government Areas of Kwara State. 2 LGAs belong to the Baribas and 2 LGAs belong to the Nupes of Kwara State. So Yorubas are the dominant ethnic group in Kwara State.

Third, in Kogi State where there are several indigenous Yorubas from Chief Sunday Awoniyi, Dino Melaye, Dare Art Alade the musician, Jaywon, Michael Dare [a former NBA a former NBA basketball star], Flying Offier Tolulope Arotire [the first female helicopter pilot in the Nigerian Airforce], Reverend Sam Adeyemi and more distinguished folks of Yoruba descent].

Incidentallly, Chief Sunday Bolorunduro Awoniyi from Moba in Kogi State [whose architect son Yomi Awoniyi was also a former Deputy Governor of Kogi State alongside Governor Wada] was the FIRST EVER Yoruba man to become the Chairman of the Arewa Consultative Forum [ACF]. He passed away on November 8, 2007 [with injuries sustained after a car accident and he was flown outside Nigeria but didn't survive]. So it's highly irresponsible for any youngster to say that there are no indigenous Yoruba folks in the NORTH [precisely the Middle Belt of Nigeria even right into small parts of Niger State]. Period

Where did he say that

He said he's a northerner, not that he is not Yoruba
And whoever said Ilorin isn't yorubaland?
It's yorubaland in northern Nigeria

No confusion anywhere. It is wrong to restrict Yorubas to South West alone. He never denied his Yoruba ethnicity.

There are Yorubas in the north central, South West and South South.

Just like the igbos that are plenty in the South South as indigene
Yoruba don reach south south too.

Everyone is not Igbo. I'm not Igbo. I've stayed both in Okun land precisely, Kabba Kogi State and also stayed in Ilorin, Kwara. I can tell you for free that Okun people are always proud to call themselves Yoruba and can fight you if you say they're notherners but Ilorin people are complete opposite. They prefer being called Northerners.
I know many Kabba Pepe that say they aren't Yoruba
