The problem of an Afonja is that even if they see the truth, they prefer lies. I have given you the truth. Convincing yourself to accept the truth is left to you.

Afonja, just shut up and bring evidence of your claims. I don't believe in rants.
Re: What Is The Meaning Of Afonja? by chibuzorAbia: 1:31pm On Oct 03, 2016
WHY? Why? Why?

Why are we Igbo people killing ourselves over this Kwara and Saraki matter?

I really can't see how this matter concern us. Anyway I am a delta-Ibo so may well be that the core Igbo over the bridge have a real issue with the ancient civilisation in YORUBALAND.

I just dey watch now!

Bukola is a Yoruba man. His father was a Yoruba man. And governor of kwara state, Abdulfattah Ahmed is a Yoruba man from Igbomina. His mother died few months back. She was a Christian.

Afonja is a retardsed man who sold out his people to fulani fools
The fulanis knowing he can't be trusted sent him to his rightful place in hell

I don't think you know what you are saying because if you did, your uncultured habit won't be made open. Go and be educated and stop fooling yourself. If you want BIAFRA, what business of mine is it?, Declare it and leave “My brown roofs" country and go and live in peace on YOUR “CLAY LAND or BROWN LAND” or whatever name you call it.

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.

I think he held the title of 'Aareonakakanfo' which could be the same title MKO once held. Yorubas in the house are better suited to tell the tale but I remember that the book said that the Aareonakakanfo was not allowed to return to Yorubaland if he lost a battle outside Yorubaland until he won. Afonja was said to have been sent on a battle he had little or no chance of winning but what happend is what I don't remember.

.
if he lost the battle, he was to commit suicide

Osu ibo is the one who is perennially crying about it. Osu ibo is shunned by the society and confined to his little corner. He is of course bitter about this and lashes out at everyone.
He is so traumatized that he will "supulu" Mohammed today and hate Muslims tomorrow. Incompetent and outright weirdos are his heroes.

............@igboid, I just can't stop imagining and laughing at your backwardness intellectually and how poorly and uncultured you are. Do you even know the meaning of someone being called a member of a Race/tribe?, you need to go back to school to learn how to differentiate between Ethnic and state of origin. If you aren't foolish. How did you think Saraki won the Senate's presidency ?, in your wildest wailing and unlettered personality can not know except you dim it fit to start up to do the study right now. you ought to keep off from someone like me because you belong to the group of back sitters. Go and study the total Vote of his election and see the south west critical votes that gave him the presidency's position along side with PDP. @igboid ,go to school and don't be late. Blood is thicker than water. Yoruba blood

You seem to be reading Yoruba propaganda, Afonja was a warrior of ilorin that rebelled against oyo empire, with the help of Fulani, but were paid with a bad coin with the dan fodios killed him off and took over.

These igbo think yoruba are fools. We are not following any fulani as some of u posited. The reality is that u can never hold a cane and call goat to come and eat. Never! Have u ever seen any yoruba disputing we are afonja? That's where wisdom lies. Do u think this entity called Nigeria can break away soon? These are the things we have weighed diligently. Normal hausa/fulani man will never put his future in the hands of igbo cos they know where their loyalty lies. That's why the supremacy of Nigeria is between north and south west. Let's enjoy this as it lasts. We are afonja, we are yoruba, we are Nigerians.
u shud be ashamed of ur tribe

Tell him, o! shocked Salaudeen Adebola Latinwo is even from Offa, not Ilorin and he was military governor of Kwara from 1984 - 1985 under Buhari's administration then. At that time, Tunde Idiagbon also from Kwara, was the no. 2 man in Buhari's govt. sad
