More weed roll it up !

He believes the shii that Yoruba was given to Oyo by Hausa, meanwhile there's no historical evidence to back up this claim

Only Oyo and Northern Yorubas referred to themselves as Yorubas before the 19th century.

It was people like Ajayi Crowther a returning slave who forged a single Yoruba identity amongst the "Aku" "Eku"(Today's modern Youbas) people which included those that referred to themselves as Nago i.e. Nago-jebu (ijebu), Nago-ketu (in Benin republic). Hence, even in Liberia, the indigenous Yorubas of mixed orgin who migrated there long ago still refer to themselves as "Aku" people.

FFK from Osun was never referred to as Nago, they were referred to as Ife.

Hence, Ife hunters who found themselves in Togo today are referred to as Ana-ife or ife-Togo, not Anago or Yoruba.

Rubbish!

I have true source of historical fact (in real print) that made mention of the Yorubas as far back as the 17th century even before the Hausa/Fulani made contact with the west.

Those are well documented in the library of Congress Mr. Man.

FFK is a deranged fellow with little knowledge about history, all he ever known was majorly hearsays which do not have any historical backing.

How can the white man know Yoruba with the name as far back as the 17th century and FFK now came out to say the Hausa/Fulani gave the Yorubas the name in the 18th century.

Many are mad but few are roaming, FFK is one of the few!
have you forgotten that FFk once said he wants to become igbo... he even proved it by marrying igbo.. so don't mind him.. he is a biafran.. we dash them FFK and Fayose

I encourage Yorubas who would like to know the root of Yoruba and how even the word ARAB and Koreish (the tribe of Mohammed) all came about to visit this thread in culture section and LEARN!

Your ancestors were the pioneers of a World Order that preceeded Arabs.

Ignorance could be a debilitating disease.

FFK and those that defined him should not include YORUBA in their lexicon.

Yoruba has been in existence as a name of a people before Hausa or FULANI became aware of one another.

Amed Baba was the first that we know to put it into writing in Songhai.
Lols. You are the one suffering from debilitating ignorance. FFK is correct.

The name yari bah or yaribansa was used by the hausa/Fulanis to refer to the tribe in the southwest in ancient times. The ancient Yorubas rejected the name, but it was foisted on the tribe after the defeat of the Oyo empire following Kiriji War and infiltration by Western culture via Samuel Ajayi Crowther.

In fact, the Egbas resisted that name the longest; the Egbas were said to be the last to accept the name.

The first newspaper printed in Yoruba was in 1859 and it was titled: "Ìwé Ìròyìn fùn ará Ègbá àti Yorùba." This indicates that the Egbas were among the last people to reject that name.

Yoruba is a negative appellation forced on our tribe by foreigners (hausa/fulani) and it means "deceitful"

Have you always thought about where the word Yoruba originate?? Have you heard many misconception and misapprehension that left you baffled?? That was what got hold of me too so I decided to dig into it.
What is the meaning of Yoruba? Does it have any inclination to our language? This is a thought provoking topic that needs profound reasoning and intense research for better understanding.
It is time we faced the monster that keeps trailing us whom many try to ignore. In Yoruba culture, appellation is often derived from a prerequisite factor or foretelling. For fact telling, some name their child Owolabi hoping the child will bring fortune to the family, another one is that almost all Yoruba towns have their names derived from an event or a factor as illustrated in; Eba-Odan – Ibadan, Abe Okuta Olumo – Abeokuta and Ibi ti Ile ti yo – Oyo and so forth. However, these factors appear not partake in the word Yoruba.
I asked a lot of people to define Yoruba, nobody had a clue so I decided to return to history and I delved into what Yoruba scholars of the past centuries had written. Slowly I began to unravel the mystery of our name.
The first hint I got was from an ordinary search which spouted Yoruba. What does that mean?? I carried on, I moved on to the always ready Yoruba dictionary written by Samuel Ajayi Crowther which defines ‘Yoruba’ as a bastard and deceitful person.
Another came from the one I found on a scholarly written journal of Dr Taiwo Ayanbolu who insisted Yoruba is a name derived from Hausa language which means deceit. He claimed he found the definition at York Museum in England dating to the 19th century.
Before I go further here, I would like to stress how the name came aboard. It has been recorded that the Hausa-Fulani who had been in contact with the Yoruba even before the rise of Oyo Empire had for some reasons chosen to call us Yoruba, or Yaribansa.
Perhaps this might have been a result of Yoruba people’s bargaining skills which often made the Fulani traders fall victim of trade by barter. Another one I stumbled on was narrated by another scholar who said the name Yoruba started protruding during the clash between Yoruba and Fulani that steered the lost of Ilorin to them in the 18th century.
The Igbos had cleansed themselves off ‘Yinmiri’, a name the Hausa-Fulani had technically given to them. The igbos have today refuted Yinmiri to be a derogatory word, however, the reverse is the case for the Yoruba. From findings I have made, Yaribansa is a Fulani word meaning Bastard. An extremely derogatory word in Yoruba discourse.
I read one of Professor Ade Ajayi’s book “Yoruba Warfare in the Nineteenth century” where he insisted that during the indirect rule era, it was necessary for the imperialists to give a unique name to the entire towns and people who spoke Yoruba language.
Somehow, they settled for Yoruba. Yoruba is a deviation of Yoruba which the Yoruba people of that century rejected. The Ijebu, Ijesa and Egba rejected this name vehemently but because during the Kiriji war (the Yoruba civil war) where the collapse of Oyo Empire commenced and the signalling factor the imperialists used to prompt the rule over Oyo from covers. The name Yoruba was foisted on Oyo and Ibadan mainly on documents and slowly the name Yoruba was enshrined in our culture and hence, our appellation.
Research shows that the Egba were the last to accept Yoruba as their appellation, reason coming from facts emanating from the first newspaper published in Yorubaland in 1859, goes: Iwe Iroyin Fun Ara Egba Ati Yoruba. This indicates that the Egba refused the name Yoruba as at 1859.
Furthermore, I have read the Odu Ifa and I have familiarised myself with many Ogede Ofo, Iwure and Ewi of the past generations and I have never heard where we were referred to as Yoruba, rather, as Omo Kaaro Ojiire, Omo Oduduwa or Omoluabi.
I am penning this for us to know the origin of the word Yoruba, it is a bitter pill to swallow especially now that the name has travelled far and wide, should we try to augment our appellation Yoruba? certainly too late to make any sort of modification. We might as well just carry on dealing with it.

Afonjas are cowards
OSUs are the only cowards known in Nigeria.They were slaves to Ijaws.. a very small in number tribe.Very sad...

Battalions of OSUs called biafrans were decimated at Ore by about 200 Yoruba soldiers...Very pathetic..
