When somebody is answering nurudeen, Abdullah, etc where do you think that his allegiance lies?

The emir in ilorin is the puppet master of what goes on in kwara.
Nurudeen e.t.c. Re islamic names not tribe namesgringrin

The most important thing here is that his father is Fulani, in their murderous Islamic hadiths, women are sex slaves, if the mother is Yoruba, or just decided to give him a Yoruba name, it is inconsequential.

Because I said the truth, afonja moderators have banned me.
I repeat, afonjas are backstabbers and two faced people. And I will give examples.

I had a friend from oyo, he was someone I trusted, one of my closest friends, but could you imagine that the animal picked biscuit on the road and gave me to eat. I can never forget such a wicked act.

I also had a tailor, an Afonja, then I was about to write Waec., this man put me in a stress that I was down. I gave this guy my cloth to sew for my waec. This man gave me all the assurance that he was going to do it, I gave him advance, for three weeks the guy was turning me up and down, the man now said if I can finish the payment he will finish everything, I should come that evening and collect it, I came that evening, his shop was locked. Can you imagine that for 3 months with full payment, this guy was wriggling. I lost trust in any Afonja. I had to withdraw my money and buy already made cloth.

The last straw that broke the camel's back is what I cannot share here, because I may end up taking the life of an afonja.

Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by everozone: 8:58am On Oct 03, 2016
Afonja means a betrayal,a sell out,like Judas Iscariot,the man who sold Jesus Christ.
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by Neoguru3: 9:05am On Oct 03, 2016
OkoNDOoBo you are funny, how come other yorubas apart from those in kwara are answering Saraki? Is it that the other yorubas are not muslims?

That stupid warrior called Afonja teamed up with the fulanis and back stabbed their fellow yorubas and fought, the fulanis having an ulterior motive conquered Afonja and ilorin. that's why yorubas in ilorin, kwara state are in Fulani occupation and are called north.

****
stop distorting history, Afonja was never conquered by the fulanis, but Murdered by Alimi's son after the death of Alimi, afonja fulani war mercenaries became restless after there was no more war to fight or bounty to be taken, they inturn started looting their host which angered Afonga and he threatened to sack them, this is a common trend among war mongals all over the world. He was a great warrior not a coward or a betrayal as you guys thought, its just plain ignorance, and yes the fulani use that opportunity to rule over Ilorin and claim allegiance to sokoto caliphate, which has just emerged in the North, this incidence also happened in Igala land, Adamawa and Kano, I don't know why You guys think calling Yorubas Afonja derogatory, its not to them, heck they call ilorin people, omo. Ilorin Ilu Afonja, contrary to your views he was respected and betrayed just like Julius Ceaser.

Dr Olusola Saraki said his great grandfather came from mali amd he is fulani. They are half fulani half Yoruba, the emir of ilorin has a yoruba name too but He is not Yoruba.

okay fine, have ever been there? am Yoruba too but From Lagos you need to go to Ilorin and see how much the fulanis assimilated into the yorubas there, the belgores of this world are fulanis and a host of other elites in the city, most of the alfas are fulanis but they all speak Yoruba, most can't even speak fulfude.

afonja sold his people to the fulanis thinking it will pay him better only for the fulani to take over the whole of yoruba land and has been ruling them for the past 600years with them following sheapishly. Remove afonja and substitued it with tinubu diya abiola mko akintola and all the Yoruba kings durring abacha reign
Afonja did not sell his people out oh.. He revolted against the Alaafin of oyo empire because the monarch wanted to kill him, he sought for alimi's help but alimi betrayed him cuz he wanted the spoils of that war all for himself

she is not claiming jare, they are actually fulanis, just like Buhari is Fulani from Daura a Hausa town, they assimilate with the locals, and in most cases they use religion to rule, they will claim they arw religious leaders, emirs not rulers, but infact, they are actually ruling.
