[quote author=tpia. link=topic=297077.msg4254092#msg4254092 date=1248664501]its not just the good looks alone, but some of them have long faces and features like Fulani.[/quote]It is possible that your own friend has Fulani blood in her lineage, not necessarily all Iwos, having said that, Iwo have long relationship with Hausa/Fulanis from religion and trade of buying and selling cows, they are major butchers in Yoruba land.  In the process they may have married Fulani in the past, Would you let Oyinda drink water drop cup now.

Iwo people are easy going but dem get juju sha.

Iwo no too get juju, they are one of the earliest Muslims and are predominantly Muslims, most of their power is tira (Quran scripts), their easy life too is derived from their religious inclination.

@oyinda, Abimota is a family name, that have ancient history of only buying slaves and never sell their, so they are praised as  "abi mo ta , abi kan ra kan".

tpia, you are welcome, lol

@oyinda, Omo Iwo, ban ko, e yun un ko, iya mi ni ngbowo joun wa, or no be so you dey speak Iwo, I have lots of them as friends when I was in PH in NYSC days, do you know the Abimotas

[quote author=oyinda. link=topic=297077.msg4254005#msg4254005 date=1248661439]@ seeker, this is my question o. plz answer[/quote]Ara Oke is kind of derogatory name Lagosians call anyone that has accents of inland Yoruba dialect, so if your mum speaks Ife , she would be mocked that is Lagos for you, Eko for show.

Do not get hooked to state name. The kind of Yoruba spoken by people from Iwo Osogbo EJigbo Ogbomoso area is same with one spoken in Oyo Alafin, so they are regarded as Oyo people, It is he only one close to written Yoruba also.

FL Gators:
Egba came from where? 
Egba- Take them in?

Yeah, Egba tii gba ni lojo isoro. They accept anyone. acted like refuge from draconian dictators of olden days.

TheSeeker:
Don't know about his father, I think his parents lived in Ogun state but he was born in Ibadan; His dad was a teacher and his mom, Yeyeoba of Ijebuland -- or so I heard; they had a sawmill business there. I learnt he also was a cab driver in the United States when he studied back here. But his mom, I know for sure, is from Gbongan. There's even a street in Gbongan named after the Adenuga Family. Wale and Michael Adenuga have a great relationship and are related. So if his dad's claiming Ogun State, then I'd start to wonder. Just like OBJ is originally from Owu but his father fled for whatever reason I can't tell except that it had something to do with monarch or so.

@Seekers, Owu and Ijaye people of Abeokuta were displaced after some wars as result of rebellions against the then Alafin, not OBJ father, the whole town was sacked and the Egba accepted them, that is where the name Egba came from, they accepted anyone.

The ancient Owu is close to present Apomu and the remains of Ijaye is along Oyo  - Ibadan raod. If you ever heard of Kurumi, he was the leader of the Ijayes during the war. Prince Bola Ajibola is one prominent Owu. The incident dated back almost 200 years so Obj's grand dad may have been born in Abeokuta too.

@amosexy, not exactly, the entire state is not Yoruba, only the partthat border Ekiti, Kwara and Osun, they are other tribes like Agatu where Mercy Johnson caame from, Ebira etc. As a matter of fact only Oyo and Osun have complete Yoruba populations others are mixed, Ondo has some Ijaws, Ekiti have some Edos, Lagos have the Ogu (Egun) same for Ogun State. Southern Kwara like Offa, Erin, Oro Ajase are Yoruba. Moremi was a native of Offa in Kwara.

TheSeeker:
Spot on!

@Amosexy, are you familiar with SuperStory? Do you know Wale Adenuga is from Gbongan? That said, Mike Adenuga, the owner of GLO is a Gbonganian.

I agree with Wale but methink Mike is from Ijebu Ode abi na na the Mama side alone, would check and revert.

amosexy:
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY PART OF THE KOGIs SPEAKS AND ANSWER YORUBA NAMEs, MOSTly THE KABBAs AND THE OGORI MAGOGOs.

States are not divided based on tribes but on administrative conveniences, The guys in Kogi are Yoruba mostly the Igbominas.

C2H5OH:
LOL giving of the wife as an offering to entertain the visitors. Doesn't sound like a half-bad idea, huh

i would be visiting my firends everyday.

Visit them everyday, but remember that I told you they have highest AIDS case in the country and expert are suspecting that culture as one of the reasons. I warned my cousin that went to serve in Benue not to mix up

TheSeeker:
OK here goes Ibkaye. Fulani, I want to believe are part of the Hausas. Why do they have to beat up suitors for their daughters just in the name of performing marriage rites? Why do fulanis sleep with their own family? Brother sleeping with sisters, etc.,? In a part of Bauchi state -- if I'm right-- a man uses his wife as a welcome package to entertain his friend. He lets his friend sleep with his wife as a form of welcoming him to his house -- a long time friend he's seen in a long time that. I need explanations to these please if you know. All of them are known facts to the best of my knowledge, I just want to know why they are done.

It just their culture simple and shikena, why do Yoruba tell the husband to leave the house before the wife is brought in, and Ibo girl carry drink in the public to identify her husband that everyone has know.  Fulani do not sleep with their sisters but are allowed to marry cousins, it is part of Arabic cum Islamic culture. It is Benue that they say the Tivs, entertain visitors with their wives and it is one one of the reasons people think make them have highest AIDS cases in the country.

@bluespice person get sister finish no fit get brother again, lol.

FL Gators:
Because the tower is better, You never lose your way

But back then, it'd be Ondo not Ekiti since Ekiti was still part of Ondo.

How far back are we talking about here? Wasnt Ekiti created less than 20 years ago?

Bring the da Vinci things back  I am not lost,

Ekiti people have been since Yoruba origin, State is just for modern administrative convenience do not get it twisted.

fountain of knowledge

@Gators, why are you showing us tower now, what happened to those Da Vinci masterpieces, lol.

FL Gators:
I'm still waiting for an EKITI to tell me why Goddess Osun is being "worshipped" in Ekiti or what she did for Ekiti .


I don't get the whole history behind it.
hmmm, care to elaborate on that?

Osun is river goddess in Yoruba land they believe it could make women fertile, most Yoruba have the same origin in Ile Ife before spreading out so all took their believe with them, including those slaves in the Americas. (North and South). Ekiti hosted many of the dieties in those days too, like Ogun lived in Ire for so long that they call him Ogun Onire, also Orunmila lived in Ado for quite a time that they say Ado ni ile ifa.

@oyinda, I feel you jare, it is a pity that politicians are just bunch of wicked insensitive criminals in power just like Fela called them VIP -Vagabonds in Power.

bluespice:
if the mega party has the ethics of AC it has a great future ahead

The problem is not ethics, it is how to get the votes count, election in that part of the world is do or die, and the PDP is not ready for now, any way all the best wishes to mega or no mega.
