OJUcrook:
Going foward, the Immigration and Citizenship issue would be a very tough nut to crack; a moot point. I agree with those who suggest that the Yoruba borders needs to be tightened, the immigration laws needs to be robust, the visa/citizenship application needs to be very strict.

Selfishly, or would I say personally, I wonder what would be the fate of people like us who identify ourselves more as Yoruba than our own ethnic group.

history2902:

I am starting to understand that you guys don't know the meaning of "history" because it is not taught in nigerian schools.
You don't get to decide what your past was according to your mood of the day.
The Oba of Lagos has already clarified the Edo origins of Lagos, so have historical documents.
The Olu of Warri was only looking for an alliance, he didn't know that you guys as usual would see this as him forfeiting his land Warri to your lots.

history2902:

Benin City is certainly not Yoruba, it is Edo, the capital of the Edo empire.
"Yorubas" are getting on my nerves, the way they carry on inventing the most laughable stories and calling them their "history".

kozmicity:

Bro...you forgot Benin City...What about Benin city??

Obaluf0n:


Bini is not Yoruba, we only had a connection with their throne and arts and that is where it stops.
The same way Eko (Lagos Island) is Yoruba populated but Oba Bini had a connection with Eleko's throne and that is where it stops.

Obaluf0n:


LoL, I see you're getting seriously ignored but I'll give you the attention you so desire but for one time only.

At the emboldened, are you aware the Oba of Lagos is only the Oba of Idumota and every other corner of modern Lagos state belongs to the Awori (Yoruba) whose kings are directly connected to Ife/Oduduwa and Ogu people of Badagry. And Oba of Lagos' kingdom is no more than few streets?

I hope the Oba of Eko and your historical documents told you that as well.

history2902:

Once again a "yoruba" guy who decides his past accordig to his mood of the day.
As soon as the Oba of Lagos spilled the truth to the public, the truth which many who call themselves "yoruba" have been trying to deny, as soon as that happened, the history of the Oba of Lagos was changed, now you "story tellers" have made the King of Lagos to be a street chief in your fiction.
You guys are amazing. No honour, no honesty, no intelect, just story tellers. You don't know your history.

Prove to me that Benin city is not part of Yoruba land and I'll prove to you that Nnamdi Kanu is from Jamaica

I have the impression that I am speaking to juveniles.
You guys are too dumb to discuss with me.
Little f.ool, ask yourself if "crown" (a european royal hat) has anything to do with african culture.
No you are just too d.umb to even think.
Jeez, I am 30 years old and I have a masters degree, I don't need to be talking to i.diots.

Guy, i will suggest you go back to the romance section..

If you don't know your history why not sit back, relax, grab a pop corn and read comments from yoruba nationalists here on this thread


Ire oooo

AshiwajuFoward:
But I thought it had already been earlier established that the Edos and Deltans will have no part in nor dragged into this? Why are some of us then indulging them, seeing how they are already derailing this thread now with their foolishness. Na this sort of headache they go carry come enter the new nation. Abeg make una free them. I can't shout abeg.

history2902:

Look, your yorubaland is nothing but a fiction, the only thing I know is the Benin empire.
All your "yoruba" chiefs are mere copy-cats of the Oba of Benin less the authenticity. Those unsecured village chiefs added the title Oba to their names while it is historically proven that that title belongs to Omo n'Oba n'Edo. It is annoying to discuss with people who do not know history but talk as if they have a point. Let me repeat: Benin City was the capital of the Benin Empire/Kingdom, that is all. The people of the empire are called the Edos, one people. Your yoruba nomination is just as new as the name nigeria. We (the Edos) have a well documented history which is well known even in european libraries.

Dalek:


said same too, we have nothing in come with dem, dey are big enough to stand alone. this are pple dat will cuz wahala in the future

AshiwajuFoward:


Exactly. The edos especially are very caustic in their approach, and lack any iota of diplomacy. If we continue to indulge them they will turn this thread on its head with their rofo-rofo tactics.

Jetleeee:
You see some Yorubas making noise... Edo this, Edo that. One ...

history2902:

"oyo empire" never existed, oyo kingdom was one small and new kingdom of mid 19th century and it was being overran by fulla.

Omofunaab2:



I don't agree with removing Ese-odo local government.. Ilaje is a yoruba sub-group. People like Seyi law (comedian) are ilajes

Don't you think a possibility of having an homogeneous yoruba nation with a well defined structure will solve your militancy fears?

Very true, the day I told one of my Ilaje colleagues that he's not really Yoruba, the guy almost bursted by skull!
