masseratti:She is actually Yoruba but most yorubas in Ilorin like to claim they are fulanis because after afonja was killed by Alimi, the fulanis took deep root in Ilorin |

sorepco:Oga shut up!! Saraki is neither yoruba nor fulani name. Sairaki is an islamic name in western punjab muslims. It's just an islamic name adopted. Lai mohammed adopted islamic name doesn't mean he is a fulani |

tallfish145:Nigerian History should be a required course in our secondary institutions. A Nigeria 'educated' graduate who does not know who Afonja was must have never heard of Nagwamatse , not to talk of Mansa Musa. smh |

Neoguru3:With this kind of reasoning we can as well say Bukola saraki is a pakistan man because no fulani man bears that name apart from bukola's family ![]() ![]() |
| Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by OkoNDOoBo: 11:20am On Oct 03, 2016 |
Paulpaulpaul:1)Yet the lingua franca of ilorin is Yoruba ![]() ![]() 2)Emir of ilorin is dr ibrahim kolapo a yoruba(maybe u have to show me another fulani man that speaks and bear yoruba name) 3)The current governor ahmed abdulfatah is a yoruba born from ifelodun local government kwara state. 4) Kwara state is referred to as ipinle kwara meaning yorubaland. You need to have your head and brain examined. Because u will soon run MA*** |

Lawlahdey:i don't get, why would they claim fulani when everyone has his or her family compound, her surname alone will give her up. |

OkoNDOoBo:The way you abuse people show that your mother left her work undone. Your lack of home training is so disgusting. Niger state is Nupe/Gwari state but the lingua franca of Niger is Hausa. The immediate past governor of Niger was Hausa Your father must have told you that you are a Yoruba boy, he might be right but you are one of the descendants of Afonja the betrayer. You forefather already sold your destiny to the Fulanis. |

Afonja was killed around 1824/1825 .Fulani and thw Yoruba of Ilorin whom had accepted Islam as a new faith then waged war against Yoruba at large, attacking villagers and capturing them to sell to the white men in that period which happened between 1824/1825-1838 before they were defeated in 1839 by the regroup Yoruba people of Ibadan at Oshogbo and their commanders were captured and humiliated. However the ancient Yoruba of that time didn't realise that the Fulani had made the Ilorin pay allegiance to Core North. Although the core north till date doubt the power of the Fulani in Ilorin simply because they are not as oppressive to the Yoruba Ilorin as done to HAUSAS because We are yet to see a Fulani Ilorin to call himself YORUBA-FULANI as been called in core northern part as HAUSA-FULANI. Having said this AFONJA is a named given to the Yoruba people by Some N'DIGBO on Nairaland to spite as betrayal is synonyms with Aare Afonja and they haven't got over the issue of secession of BIAFRA through Ojukwu from Nigeria.And the new generation of N'DIGBO now believe Awolowo betrayed them when in actual fact Nnamdi Azikwe had pledge allegiance to Nigeria in 1967-1970 Civil Wars rather than to BIAFRA. |

OkoNDOoBo:yoruba people re so funny. you guys are quick to assert dat bukola saraki is yoruba because of his name. but refuse to accept ikwerre is Igbo. hypocritical brown roofers |
| Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by OkoNDOoBo: 11:55am On Oct 03, 2016 |
Neoguru3:history revisionist at the End You Expose. Yourself more, I went through names of past emirs and found out only this 2 bear yoruba names and the Alias dan gambari While the Rest re fulani and islamic names with no yoruba or gambari alias 1)Zulkarnayni Gambari dan Muhammadu Laofe Dan Bawa "Aiyelabowo 2)Ibrahim Kolapo dan Gambari It obvious the rulling houses is between the yorubas and fulanis. But the fulanis have ruled most You can as well show me any fulani man bearing kolapo And and aiyelabowo as surname |
| Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by Igboid: 11:56am On Oct 03, 2016 |
The Fulanis often adopt the language and some aspects of the people they conquered. It's a survival strategy of a minority conquerer to take the form of the conquered to retain power. Fulani rulers of Hausas did this in Hausa lands too. They all speak Hausa. |
| Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by OkoNDOoBo: 12:03pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
Chiefobdk1:Ikwerres re vocal about denial of igbo root. The hate being called igbo. And you igbos re bent on attached By force on All minorities in south South. If sariki denied yoruba root we yorubas don't give a bleep about that. Goodluck to him and His family. But kwara state is forever a yoruba land#FACT |
| Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by Neoguru3: 12:08pm On Oct 03, 2016 |
