عبدالكريم: go kill yourself. Darfur is in SUdan. Yoruba are not descended from Berbers and Berbers are not Arabs. and I dont get where you brought Fula into the equation. and if they are descended from Himyar and Qahtan, then they are not from the Hejaz. so your entire geneology is wrong. |

PAGAN 9JA: God bless you my reasonable brother. All those theories that Africans and the world migrated from the middle-east arew fallacies. The Yoruban- Middle-east theory was made by the Sultan of Sokoto, Bello. Its is common for Islamic Africa to trace their orogin to the middle east. Abrahamic faiths support. According to tradition history, there were no eastern connection with oduduwa. This is where the benin people compound the fallacies of Elkarlarderan on. They just bring some few words that sound/ mean the same in both languages; then they conclude, not knowing of the various trade Yoruba had with Islamic Africa like Hausa. As a Yoruba person, I debunk this stupid claims. 1 Like |

maclatunji: As much as the Yoruba do not see religion or faith as an issue of discord, I do not think Yoruba is divided 50-50 Christian -Muslims which means you are leaving out traditional adherents which will be up to 2-5% of the population. Besides, Yoruba Christians seem to be more than 50% more so on the premise of Pentecostal Movements that have become so popular that even more than half of Yoruba now belong(I stand to be corrected) There is hardly any Yoruba state or town or city that today is overwhelming Moslem not even Ilorin ! taking that muslims may be in the majority if actually that is true but not overwhelming! Thank you. |

Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by tpia5: 5:43pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
its quite possible Islam has been in Yorubaland since it (Islam)'s inception. No one can really pinpoint how or when Islam entered Yorubaland anyway, all most people know of is Ilorin which was conquered by the Fulani at the request of their Yoruba allies. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by PAGAN9JA(m): 5:48pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
tpia@: lies lies lies. big time liars. there is no evidence of islam so far back. islam didnt even enter Zanzibar until the Omani conquest. talk less about SOuth Sudan etc. islam entered Hausaland only in the 11th Century. you fellows will lie to any extent to spread your faith. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by tpia5: 6:18pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
i dont know why you're panicking as if you never heard that before. kanem officially converted to Islam in the 11th century, it doesnt mean there were no muslims there before then. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by PAGAN9JA(m): 6:27pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
tpia@: ofcourse there werent except maybe missionaries who arrived in less than a 100 years time. The Kingdom only converts when its King falls. remember that. when muhammads missionaries went to Yemen, they went to the Ruler of Yemen first. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by tpia5: 6:31pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
well, my post was, Islam may have been in Yorubaland right from it [Islam]'s inception. not sure what you interpreted that to mean. a mosque in tunisia was built in 670 AD, shows muslims were present there and beginning to be active by that time. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by PAGAN9JA(m): 6:33pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
tpia@: and my post was that islam was not there since islams inception. it is impossible. thats my point. islam truly came to Yorubaland only with the Fulani jihad. Yorubaland was 100% Pagan till then. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by Katsumoto: 6:34pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
tpia@: Malian Islamic travelers started visiting Old Oyo around the 15th century and a mosque was built solely for them. Conversion didn't start well until the 18th-19th centuries. 1 Like |

conversion of the rulers perhaps. i havent seen anything to suggest Islam was not in Yorubaland before then. of course i could be wrong? however, the way yorubas practice Islam suggests a very strong affinity with the religion which would seem to predate the modern conversion most people refer to. its like italians and catholicism. |

PAGAN 9JA: There were moslem scholars in Yorubaland before the Jihad. And since the Jihad was unsuccessful in Yorubaland, it could not be responsible for the penetration of Islam in Yoruba land. The invitation of Alimi by Afonja is what led to the adoption of Islam in Ilorin. Prior to going to Ilorin, Alimi had been a scholar and had toured many other Yoruba towns and villages. There had also been an influx of Kanuri muslim scholars into Yorubaland before Alimi. |

PAGAN 9JA: ok then. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by tpia5: 6:46pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
PAGAN 9JA: i just pointed out muslims built a mosque in tunisia in 670 AD. So how is it impossible there were some muslims in west africa in the seventh and eighth centuries? they may just have not been widespread. islam truly came to Yorubaland only with the Fulani jihad. incorrect. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by PAGAN9JA(m): 6:48pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
Katsumoto: wheres your proof of Kanuri muslim scholars in Yorubaland? Also they just toured, not converted people. There is no evidence of mosques prior to the Fulani jihad , except the one in Oyo built for foreigners, in Yorubaland. also the Kanuri first met islam along with us Hausa, in the 11th Century. Added to that, there was strong local opposition against islam in the beginning. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by PAGAN9JA(m): 6:50pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
tpia@: where is Tunisia and where is Yorubaland? Please talk common sense and go check the map. THere is no evidence of islam in Yorubaland upto the 16 th century, talk less of 7th century. Also the Yoruba are highly communal people. it would not be wise to remain a minority and talk against the Gods in those days. |

PAGAN 9JA: how does this contradict my post? |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by Katsumoto: 7:02pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
PAGAN 9JA: Solagberu, the leader of Yoruba Muslims at Oke Suna, was allegedly Kanuri. If the Jihad failed after Ibadan defeated the Caliphate at Osogbo in 1840, how then can the Jihad be responsible for the development of mosques? You need to chill down on this talk of Jihad as if the Fulani conquered the Yoruba and then subsequently built mosques. Mosques started to appear gradually in Yorubaland and they weren't well developed initially. Islam may have been introduced into Hausaland at the same time as the Kanuri but it was much more accepted in the Kanuri empire than in Hausaland, hence the Jihad against the Hausa states. The penetration of Islam in Kanuri also helped in curbing Fulani schemes for Bornu-Kanem empire. |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by Pukkah: 7:03pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
Katsumoto: I guess that's why some Yoruba people refer to Islam as 'Esin Imale' which is a corruption of 'Esin Mali' (religion from Mali). |
Re: A Short History Of Yorubaland With Pictures by Katsumoto: 7:04pm On Nov 19, 2013 |
tpia@: Tunisia is in North Africa and the presence of Islam in one country/region doesn't automatically mean its presence in other parts. There was Islam in Bornu, why was there no Islam in the Eastern part of Nigeria? 1 Like |
