gidado is not a Yoruba name please

Gigado does not need to be a yoruba name before yoruba people start answering it

what about Asia?

They are also very jealous of IGBOs in some parts of Asia because of their success.

Nowenuse:


And those Yorubas who have Edo, fulani and Nupe ancestry, and even those with Black American freed slave ancestry like them Tiwa Savage, has it stopped them from being Yoruba?
Or do you think there is an ethnic group in this world with 100% ancestry from one origin?

You yourself who is ranting here might have actually had a foreign ancestry into your ethnic group one way or the other but u may not be aware.
Besides people borrowed names in the past, a Yoruba can have an Edo or foreign surname cos his parents named him after an Edo visitor or friend. These things were very common those days.
My maternal grandmother's name was Titi (a Yoruba name), it was given to her by the missionaries after a Yoruba friend of theirs probably....
The name stuck and that became her official and only name, had it been it was a man now, are my maternal cousins going to claim Yoruba ancestry cos they have a Yoruba surname?

Oga, Yoruba naming Oriki is nothing you will ever experience.

We dont acquire names like rest of you Nigerians do. Oriki is quitessential to a Yoruba birth, period!

Murtala Muhammed married Yoruba woman and the children have both Fulani and Yoruba names. They are Fulanis through father. There is no Oriki for Muhammed in Yorubaland.

Tidy up your thoughts and stop ridiculing yourself over matters you dont know. Like i said before, Oriki is Yoruba, not Nigeria. Gidado has no Oriki. Only a Yoruba with knowledge of history will understand.

Perkins2018:


Surnames are very significant in Yoruba land. However some people take nicknames to be their surnames over time. I know some people whose father’s nicknames have become their surnames and those names might have no meaning in Yoruba.

A name doesn't need to have a meaning before yorubas answer it. It's just a simple matter if choice

BabaRamota1980:
First and foremost, there is no family compound in Yorubaland called GIDADO, which is the surname the corper identified himself.

Tell him to re-identify.

He may originally be from Ilorin, but grew up in Ado-Ekiti. Ilorin has those awön Alimi quarters...

Ornament2003:
Liar! Yorubas don't bear Gidado; especially Ekiti people.

Maybe One of the Ebiras (Kogi) living and farming in Ado Ekiti suburb. They are very many in Ado Ekiti. But if he wanna claim Ekiti or Yoruba he's welcomed.
But he should be truthful enough to identify with his primary root.

Most likely....

Correct! And i even said that already. However, a Yoruba with Gidado as surname leaves himself open to queries.

Hence why i query the corpers' claim that he is Yoruba.

Thats up to your fellow Ibos to see if your claim is open to question or not. I dont know about Ibo name structure to query that....but i know damn a lot about Yoruba name structure. Beside Oriki I even know the totems.

Im not your ordinary Yoruba you guys toss around on social media. You betyer come correct if you want to debate Yoruba with me.

You can be Chukwuemeka Vladimir and i wouldnt see anything wrong. But if you are Bolanle Gidado and claim Yoruba ypu will have to explain an Oriki for Gidado.

I served in the same anambra and all these your acknowledgement is quite funny


modified

way of life

Anambra Nnewi people are exposed due to their people being the most travelled in East but their love for money is second to none. when it comes to money, human live had zero value to them


Anambra people believe in make it young and die Rich. their interest for money made them to involve in series of ritualism to look for money, if I'm lying non Igbo that served there can burst my lies, you can hardly see obituaries of old people in Anambra, Nnewi most esp (obituaries aged from 40 below) and when you listen to what causes these death you just shake your head


do I need to talk about N20 poison that can seized your legs, I got a job at Nnewi after service but I've to pick race when a man that was working in bank leg was poison with this stuff


their ladies

they're so pretty but you would never want to invite them at home, the fear of HIV and a Lady that might have been killed alive (a story of a corper that invited one and she died on spot the guy couldn't complete his service and was compel to be jail for offence he's innocent of)

just tell their ladies you're in abroad or you've container on the sea, na yakata dem go fall for you, some might even dash you money ignorantly


Philanthropic life

corpers that served there can testify projects carried out there always meet a serious setback because the rich men they always seek assistance from do turned them down

what surprise me more is their rich men, I mean those with big and exotic cars who bring kegs to fetch to buy water outside


only Igbo like them understand that you must not envy big houses at that end because the source my scare you. I met a Yoruba who called himself herbalist there, I stylishly asked him what brought him to Nnewi and he said don't you know Igbo like ritual a lot, that was prompt is relocation

Enmity

many of their kinsmen can't even go/visit village because of their pull them down syndrome that had become their habit at that end. I have a corper friend who always change to mufti whenever she's travelling from CDs just because of this wickedness of this people. the only Igbo that might relate well with you are those that have stepped out of their village and east to west, south or north, you see those that live in the village don't mess with them or else you're a goner, person wey dey used their own for suya, how much less non relative ?


marital life


if you want to marry Anambra lady, don't make a mistake to settle with the one in the village, you will regret your life. you can choose from those that live all their life out of east even among themselves in that Anambra there is always discrimination when it comes to marriage

I'm sure this is not news that some Igbo who aren't from IMO always runaway from mbaise girls, why this happened till date elude my common sense because their reason is not enough to justify such dumb rejection

Your hatred for Igbo no go kill you, so you want to tell me in all your stay no good thing about them? At least one.
Bro I don’t have time to counter your hatred but just know discrimination exists in all tribes just as the Yorubas discrimination against the ijebus when it comes to marriage. Don’t argue this with me. I have my facts .

I suspect that he doesnt. You are correct!

In Dangote extended family, they have members of their family that speak Yoruba. Some were born and raised in Yorubaland. Language is not the issue. Name and identity is what im questioning. How does a Gidado begin to claim Yoruba?

no family compound in Yorubaland called GIDADO?

Shout out to Ronke Gidado who was in QES Ilorin between 1977 and 1982. I salute you if you're on Nairaland.

Gidado is not a Yoruba name. The person you are referring to must have had some Fulani ancestry, Nupe or Ebira ancestry to have been given the surname Gidado. Try and understand what the thrust of the discussion is all about.

Ilorin people for example, have some families with Fulani ancestry, who speak fluent Yoruba. Their family compound will have its history entwined with their Northern forbears.

Once more i feel proud to be ONYE ANAMBARA.
Tnx for all these. Yes, it might not be bed of roses in the state, but believ me this article is correct n can never b found wanting in all ramifications.
There is one unique thing that can hardly be found in other states. There is no remote village in Anambra. The industrous nature of Anambra ppl has brought massive development even in the villages that one can hardly classify any town as a typical village without the presence of amenities found in the cities.
Amost all the villages in the state have working street light, good roads, big markets, schools etc.
What more can one say.
Long live Anambra

Almost all villages have....what? Bros, haba!! You Sabi exaggerate, o!

maiyee:
lucky you! i served or I'm serving in the west, precisely, and my stay there has changed my perception of the yorubas. Before i was posted to the west, infact, i desired to be posted to the west, but getting there the harsh treatment i and other non- yoruba corpers, especially the Igbos, have received is so terrible. I mean, their hatred for the igbos is so much, such that they may like you at first meeting but once you reveal that you are Igbo, they hate you immediately. serving in a yoruba village as an Igbo corper is terrible, i mean we came here to serve you guys, we are just corpers, why the hatred? they would treat other yoruba corpers better than you, finding every reason to discredit you, before you say I'm biased in my generalisation, i experienced this, from the motor park, to my PPA and even in the copers lodge where you see segregation between the yoruba and non yoruba corpers. Honestly i used to love the yorubas but my experience here has made me detest having anything to do with them. even the hausas are more welcoming and accomodating.

Which village or town in the Southwest were you posted to? Just curious. Tell us the name of the community and their village head or ruler, too. Because this your story, get as e be.

Many Yoruba towns almost worship corpers, because they see them as govt pikin.

They appreciate them because some of their schools and hospitals, may not have trained teachers or doctors, if not for the corpers.

One of my neighbour's kids who served in a remote village in Ondo state was even given a small chieftaincy title which he rejected, just for his corper activities in that area.

The company he served with, constructed a borehole there through his intervention, and the community was so happy, because he supervised the effort.

Add him on Facebook

His mother may be Yoruba. But his father's ancestry is definitely not likely to be Yoruba...

What you are doing is like trying to say Rotimi Amaechi is now a Yoruba man!! After all, one of his name's is Yoruba..

imam07:
mr ogbeni there is.

Where??! In which part of Southwestern Nigeria?

If you see a man bearing Gidado in the Southwest, his heritage is likely to be mixed.

Some people later adopted Islamic or Northern sounding names, due to the influence of Arabic schools they attended, or due to Islamic influence.

If you ask for the name of his grand father or great-grandfather', it definitely will NOT be Gidado, if he is a true Yoruba man. And their family compound will not be named Gidado. It will reflect a Yoruba name, like Falade or something else.

Even if they want to refer to him, they will say something like "Gidado son of Falade."

In Ilorin, you will find families bearing such names like Gidado, but their family ancestry can be easily traced to the Fulanis who came to settle in the town.
