When did i say he's a fulani man?
It's the 'chest beaters' that are using that as a consolation
It's better to ignore them at times!

SirShymexx:
Listen, I'm not talking about presidency rotation - I'm talking about protecting ya interests after being used to achieve a political objective. That's the bread and butter of politics: when you scratch my back, then I'll always owe you one, by protecting ya interests. So how come Yorubas can't achieve that simple task politically in Nigeria and they're more or less toilet paper everyone seems to wipe his bu.m with to get to the center and get dumped afterwards?

And stop daydreaming - the North controls both APC and PDP now. They already have a dynasty and nothing can stop them.

My heart is broken man!!!!
Fvck that shite!!!
Why is Jagaban slacking.
Dude better have some tricks up his sleeves.

Who told u am not a yoruba?... My names are tella lawal akorede.. Saraki or lemme say the kwaras are half yrouba and half ilorin we from abeokuta ibadan and the rest of the six geo political zone in south west.. Believed to be the yorubas.. Ilorin is not part of us.. We don't recognise dem as real yoruba.. It was only in ilorin that u will see seriki as a chief title.. we don't recognise such tiltle..

Your post shows that you are semi-literate.
Some Kwara/Ilorin folks are more Yoruba than some Yorubas from the SW who speak totally strange dialects aside the general Yoruba.
Kwara/Ilorin Yoruba is grade 1 Yoruba, the type spoken in Oyo.

Also, there are 6 states and not 6 geopolitical zones in the SW.

Tread softly bro!

VirginFinder:
How can you discern that? Are you in his mind?
Saraki is using the Hausa/Fulani just like Obasanjo used and dumped them.
Every realistic Yoruba person knows that Hausa/Fulani support is needed to ascend power in this country.

Then you don't know the Saraki family and their antecedents in Nigerian politics. The way you just responded shows your ignorance about Kiara politics. When is father was alive, he was a leader in the arewa consultative forum. His father had endlessly reminded anyone who cared to listen than Kwara was fulani land. His father even owes his ascension in politics to the fulani, when historically Kwara is yoruba territory as part of the old oyo empire, with the afonja ruling over it with the authority of the alafin of oyo. And it was the Ottoman Dan fodio jihad that made the fulani invade Kwara and established an emirate Kingdom in ilorin. Ask Saraki where he comes from, he will tell you he is fulani. So bro, don't delude yourself about Saraki and Kwara.

His father is Fulani

fulani from where? Daura?

You are a dullard!

No matter how much you claim to be what you are not, it won't make you what you are not.

If you claim to be a monkey from today till eternity, will it make you one?

If your father disowned you for political reasons, will that stop you from being his son?

If the Sarakis are fed up with being Yorubas, they'll simply change the Yoruba names to pure Islamic/Fulani names.

ibo boy schooling me on Ilorin's history and in the process mistaking Ilorin for Kwara as a whole is absurd to say the least.

Nonsense!!

Some people hold certain imagination to console themselves on what they perceive to be real thereby deluding themselves of reality. keep deluding yourself, when you wake up, you will face reality.because from what I can see here, your delusion is making you senile. quote author=VirginFinder post=35295190]

Your response is not intelligent. You didn't dispute the facts I adduced but you filled your response with abusive words. Will overlook those as it shows your level of thinking, orientation and background. However on the Saraki issue, I can understand your position, someone who is trying to delude himself on the reality of things by taking consolation in a belief which satisfies his conscience. Wake up bro, Saraki is yoruba only in name, he is Fulani to the core, deal with it.

We only accept what a man says about his root if we have no fact and evidence to the root.

And dude said he is from Mali

You are a dullard if you cant explain how Saraki ended up bearing pure Yoruba names.

Again, I ask, if you claimed to be a monkey, does that automatically make you one?

.I can see your knowledge is limited.Perharps it could be as a result of your age,inexperience/lack of exposure.This has been the reason you haven been making abusive statements each time you comment.I can overlook that based on the reasons I have insinuated above.Now to your response,I see you agree with me that Saraki calls himself fulani not yoruba with your statement "'Again if you claimed to be a monkey, does that automatically make you one".Let me educate you a little,a child may be Igbo born in the kano,grew up in kano,schooled,thinks like an hausa man and has accepted their ciulture and way of life as his own.If that child is brought to imo state for instance he would see himself more as a kano man than an imo man.Now if he then attains a position of authority in kano and the kano people accept him,then he can never see himself as an imo person.There are nigerians born in Britain that are more British trhan Nigerians.They have never been here,they dont understand how we think and do things here,they have accepted the British way of life as their own.They have nigerian names but they are British.The only thing that identifies them as nigerians is just their name,it doesnt make them nigerians.They can never owe their allegience or loyalty to nigeria.Coming to saraki,I have earlier pointed out to you that Kwara is yoruba land but completely under the control of Fulani,Saraki owes his progression to the Fulanis.ask him any day,he will tell you kwara is in the north and it is a northern territory.he is only yoruba in name,his allegience is to the northern caliphate.

Save me all this thesis, abeg.

Is Kwara a Yoruba state? Yes!

Is Fulani in complete control of Ilorin (not to talk about Kwara)? No! The Fulani elements in Ilorin have been long swallowed up by the Yoruba. Even the emir used to be 'Kolapo'.

Does Bukola Saraki speak Hausa/Fulfude? No!

Is Kwara in the north? Yes!

Are there Yorubas from the north? Yes!

Is Bukola Saraki a northern Yoruba man? Yes!

Saraki can decide to pledge his allegiance to Arochukwu. That's his cup of tea.
It doesnt stop him from being a Yoruba man!
