I understand you are trying to defend your people and I don't really understand why you are using the term West instead of just saying Lagos,I care less what they play in Ibadan or Ekiti etc I am talking about lagos which is the melting point of All tribes in Nigeria,and now the unofficial music Capital of Nigeria
its not only the yorubas that are residing in Lagos,there are others tribes too,even Owerri that isn't as diverse as lagos have a two hour
Yoruba programme on zanders fm every
wednesday where people call in speaking only

Yoruba and requesting Yoruba music
chill not every time tribalism

ikeyman00:
Either the afonjas accept the invitation or ever keep on with Lagos -Ibandan Media propaganda express way news Forget the new estate and building; the best way to start with this is to tour villages and old street then link to the city; then you will get to understand the afonja loves propaganda a lot. In Ananmbra you can start from villages and Enugu start from Awkunanaw and Uwani street etc

And make no mistake about this Media propaganda the afonja have done so much lies and damages; imagine afonja telling you who should be Igbo or not; can you imagine that. I had happened to be in a public transport in Awka Back in 2000s and overheard afonja youth copers intrigued over the land setting in the East as against the lies they have been told and i must say i enjoyed listening.

Nevertheless our quest is to see the zoo completely decimated

Obamaofusa:


lol
You just like to muddle everything up so people will not know that Ibadan city only is more developed than the entire Igboland.

You are frightened for the whole Igboland to go sector by sector with Ibadan city only.

Everybody already knows that a place like Ibadan that has the highest number of GRAs in Nigeria can only be beaten by Lagos and Abuja because they also have a lot of infrastructures.
After these 2 places especially Lagos,there is no other place that can beat Ibadan.

If you are man or any Igbo man,woman or sympathizer who is bold and man enough,let us compare infrastructures in the whole of Igboland against Ibadan city in ....


Education

Housing

GRAs


Stadia


Research centres


Skyscrapers


Road network etc


Ibadan will floor Igboland.This is why is jittery

UP IBADAN!

BiafraforTrump:


Is that all? is that why they are rating Osun state even higher than Imo state??

Do you want me to count how many Universities in Owerri axis alone?..

My friend you yorubas should stop this propaganda and lies it is tarnishing your image and credibility in investigative journalism.

Osun is very poor and the gold you are talking about has not made Zamfara any better even though they have it in lager quantity let alone Osun.

Obaluf0n:

Finally, it is nice to meet/hear from you sir.
Our friend has forever bandied this 'lie' around as some sort of proof/citation of his knowledge in Yoruba history and to pain his point as a fact.
Please pardon the reference I made to you as 'ignorant' because clearly from your post you are far from anything ignorant.
Thank you for finally coming up to lay this claim of his to rest.

AreaFada2:

Tell me his rank before October 1st 1960.
Because we know that many Baale & white cap chiefs are now even 1st class Obas. Many raised by military governors.
Show me the gazette showing his rank before independence.
Otun is just about the last place I want to worry about its history to be honest. I have far more interest in Indus valley civilisations for example.

AreaFada2:

Ah! At least you admit you were the ignorant Otun guy as your kinsman called you.
You wanted me to give you details of your land. And I refused. Not my job.
Now you claim you did not. How funny.
You should be telling us your history.
Founded by another angel hurled from heaven along with lucifer? Or used he dongoyaro leaves to descend from heaven? Or Maybe Mobo was the biggest empire since Roman empire? Let us hear.
I do empathise with you for having no consequential history. At least nothing that any foreign outlet like BBC or relevant documentary channels would think the world should keep learning about. So bask in the good fortune of the privilege to have been at the boundary of Benin Empire with Oyo. Otherwise nobody would have heard of it here on Nairaland or anywhere outside your environ.
The aggressive tone of you lot shows that the "respectful & sophisticated" tribe you guys claim is just an eye-service but seriously vicious when out of sight. We all already knew that anyway.
You can start a thread on Otun. I have never started a thread on Benin Empire. There are enough people out there to do it. So I never began anything just to hype Benin Empire.
But SW people get near epileptic fits on sighting Benin threads. Their BEDC people go into overdrive.
The below was written by one of your kinsmen. I guess you will label him omale.
http://adwalay..co.uk/2017/07/the-benin-invasion-of-lagos.html
If a Yoruba writer admitted this much just writing about Lagos, clearly mentioning Benin imperial power, then imagine the scale of it if done honestly all over Yorubaland & Dahomey.

AreaFada2:

You can lie I know. But I never knew you have comprehension problems too.
Anybody who follows my comments on important topics would know what i do for a living. Certainly as in real life, some may have found reasonable tips to some problems. No need to brag. British educated yes. Why not? I did not deny others the privilege to.
I remember that topic where you insinuated that the current Oba of Benin isn't well educated. I made it clear that how a UK-educated man that served as a diplomat (ambassador of Nigeria to Scandinavia covering several countries, Italy & Angola) cannot be poorly educated.
Please in your haste to insult others, still try to read well & understand. Thank you.
You see, these days, anyone can claim anything. What I said is on record. And I have said it here for years. One Otun guy first argued same like two years ago. Later he ended up soliciting for more historical info about his town. I have seen many here.
It is even irrelevant now anyway.

Obaluf0n:

First emboldened -- OK.
Second emboldened -- an ignorant Otun guy soliciting for information on his own hometown from you means nothing, really. There are ignorant Bini folks out there too who would solicit for data on any story that intetests them no mattet how convoluted -- ignorants folks are everywhere. With that said, I shared a link on Otun history during our last back & forth which stated Otun was a market town and was never conquered neither by Oyo nor Bini.
Side comment -- Please looking at the wikipedia excerpt I quoted in my other post, why does it refer to Oyo a much larger territory with several nations under it as a kingdom but refers to Bini a much smaller area with few nations under it as an empire, do you by chance know why or is this part of the subtle plot to tuck Yoruba under Bini?

If you are an adult, then you must be DUMBER than i initially thought!!!! Your answers to my posers are at best vague, stupid, without logic or commonsense and can at best only be conjured up in the dark recesses of a moronic slowpoke like you. It took an EDO prince to civillize you dirty, cowardly loudmouths...FACT. The EDOs eventhough smaller in population than you dreckfressers, conquered your towns and villages with ease, a fact that you morons acknowledge even uptil today by naming some of your dirty little cities and villages after the mighty warriors from ADO ( EDO) e.g ADO ekiti.
You have uptil today descendants of yoruba slaves all over South and Central America sold to the Portugese by the all conquering EDO army. Deny that fact you stupid slowpoke. Name any part of the world where descendants of EDO slaves can be found? Answer, nowhere. That y'all morons had to burnish up your weak-ass history by trying to rope in a mighty kingdom into your degenerate little history is understandable though. How else can you hold up your sorry heads and admit to the whole world that a warrior-like people who are just a fraction of your own populace. ran roughshod allover yorubaland, capturing and subjugating your dirty and cowardly little asses?
The EDOs were a civilized and organized people long before oduduwa, ife or anything the lying yoros have to throw up as their history. Twisting historical facts to push a weak narrative has become the yorubas stock-in-trade. Your oduduwa was supposed to be a philandering Arab prince, flying around the world on his jumbo 747 mat fixed with a rope for disembarkment and looking for a place in the African jungle to start a new race of people called yorubas. PHEWWWW!!!! How believable is that even to you? No wonder most of your so-called obas bleach their skins to look like Arabs or is it Arab halfcast. Phewww once again and good night.

You are wrong. D white colonialists never forced their religion on Igbos or any other tribe for dat matter. Igbos embraced christianity voluntarily when we saw d good in it unlike afonjas who were given d option of koran or Fodio's blade.

Look at the picture of the car again, and tell me if you can actually read the number plate of the car directly, from the photograph. Don't use the extended box which someone has highlighted in his bid to claim that the digits belong to the pastor's car.

MMMscam:
It's very ironic how the hateful igbos quickly delight in a few Yoruba and Hausa casualties but only a few decades ago, they were the ones who were massacred in millions like vermin all across the country. They have never won a single inter-tribal battle in their existence, yet they keep making senseless noise all over. The joke's on you.

Watch as Biafra pple aka children of hate...aka Igbos kom Igbos go flood this thread trying to claim holiness...Bloody Yebhoes

I dnt understand yoruba language that much but i love the song. I wanna download it if i get to know the title of the song and the singer..
In the lyrics, i could hear something like..
" oremi, ololufe, iyawomi, mojubare, oro ife nla, the butter in my belly..."
