Nko ni nkankan lati fi si o .

Lol, after you've asked your Yoruba friends.
Answer me nah.

The answer is simple.

What you wrote isn't correct
Stop using Google translator

GBOKASINCHA:
so akeredolu children are igbos going by your logic?

Akeredolu children speaks Igbo?
Akeredolu children bears Igbo name?
How many times do you see Aketi children visiting Imo state?

That's if Betty understoods Igbo herself, she's been Yoruba land for years.

The children are the ones to decide not you.

GBOKASINCHA:
Nonsense how Angelique kidjo take be Yoruba same thing as saying burnaboy is yoruba see Afonja attachee by force

So, she's what?
Igbo.

Bad belle

BTW, op I've watched some of the American films tho

MelesZenawi:
they finished christianity in nigeria.

cared to explain how they did that?

oyatz:
Do you know how many Muslims in Yorubaland that have Christian spouses, parents, siblings, cousins, uncles, business associates and friends?


The Yorubas are tolerant because the Yoruba worldviews promote heterogeneity over homogeneity. Yorubas believe in diversifications of views.

MelesZenawi should read this.

Proudly Yoruba.

Omoluabi to the core.

MelesZenawi:
Yoruba pentecostal churches is what killed christianity in nigeria. I am not a fan of them..

I am well rooted in the orthodox church....

una papa adeboye and oyedepo's should continue to deceive una....not interested.

Oga, how many times will we tell you that, Yorubas are thinkers, we don't all think in the same way, there will be many people that will not think like that and will opt in for another possible solution.

The likes of kanu cannot control 1000, Yorubas, that the truth!

That Anglican and catholic dominate east doesn't mean they two are the best.

Shey Catholics that bow down to Mary or Anglican that faces the pulpit and bow down sometimes.
I went to Anglican so I know what I'm saying, tho they're very much preferable than Catholics.

And by the way, Yorubas ain't the one that started penticostals.
So what exactly are you saying?

MelesZenawi:
with Yoruba arm.

yes, CAN is also an organization, we also have penticoastals organization too

Scholes0 and Legendhero killed this thread

honorable mention naptu2.

Oga, lalasticlala and Mynd44

MelesZenawi:
Muric is what?

Yoruba Arabia or Muslim yorubas?

Muric is an organization.

MelesZenawi:
finally there is no religious tolerance over there. it is a just media and paper sophisticated tolerance....

there is deep seated mistrust if not Muslims in lagos east won't be asking to occupying the senatorial seat...

akintola won't be questioning why ekiti has all her commissioners nearly Christian without sharing the slot 50:50.


those who live by propaganda dies by propaganda.

Oga Ade go and sleep, Religion can never divide Yorubas, e dey pain you

BoboNkiti19:
I will use this real life experience as my example, I work with two Yorubas, one lady from Ekiti who is Christian, a core Redeemed goer. The other one is from Oyo state, and he's a Muslim at least from his name (Azeez). Those two no dey take eyes see each other, they only communicate in Yoruba just for the sake of it, but once the Azeez fellow clocks out and I work with the Ekiti lady... she openly spites the guy and doesn't hide her disdain for him (for reasons best known to her), although she has on occasions dropped some hints that suggests she doesn't really like him cause he's a Muslim.

The Yoruba girl I used to date always got very ANGRY whenever I joked about converting to Islam, she even made it clear in no uncertain terms that she won't raise her kids with a Muslim guy.

Now maybe these two scenarios among several experiences I have seen similar to my work colleagues are too miniscule to mean much in the larger scheme of things... but you will be absolutely fooling to think some degree of mutual disdain and distrust doesn't exist among Yorubas of different faiths- particularly the Christians and Muslims... I don't know much about the traditional worshippers.

Under normal circumstances, there will be such but it's minimal, hence this famous proverb in Yoruba land - Iwalesin (meaning behavior is religion, if I get the translation well).

I'm a Christian, some years back I worked in a farm, I'm a night staff, we don't have anywhere to sleep at night, except inside mosque.
Will I say because I'm a Christian, I won't sleep in a mosque? what will happen to me?

Like I said there will be such in everywhere but it's just minimal, check the guy family, there will be Christians in his family, will he pick up arms against his family?

reason why religion can never divide Yorubas.
Even the kings don't have religion, they go to mosque, church and attend traditional festivals.

Tranquility360, don't run away nah come and answer my question.

Shebi, you are Yoruba?

Or, you went to ask your Yoruba friends

Tranquillity360:
And you have to edit my quote just to cover the truth.

I can confidently say you are a muslim.


If not that we Yoruba christians always go for peace,i don't think our region will be peaceful as it is.

You're a Yoruba right?

What is the meaning of this statement

Oba waja
Akara ti tu sinu epo

And again, there is nothing like Yoruba Muslims or Yoruba Christians
I keep telling you, you can't divide Yorubas along religious lines , find another means.

LegendHero:
You are definitely right. It’s inherent in us and one thing about us is that we don’t even know how much of a big deal that is.

When you see how people fight over religion and how much animosity that follows religious difference among some tribe and race, then you will appreciate the Yoruba tolerance more.

We have been blessed and we should guard our heritage proudly and make sure our generations never deviate from the religious love our ancestors bestowed upon us.

There have been many studies about it.
Cos some years back few men came to Ondo town then aout 6yorubas and 4whites, department of African studies or so( can't remember)

I think they select some towns and did surveys, cos I learnt they went to Ede.

Well, I think it's culture.
Our culture allows free will, non discrimination, respect, tolerance etc.

During Christians festivals, Muslim join us to celebrate.

Same as Muslim festivals, we join the Muslims to celebrate (Come July 31, I go eat Sallah meat )

during traditional festivals, both Christians and Muslims celebrate.

Then another thing I notice is our earlierst form of education also helps.
For example, If we believe Jesus / Elijah rise up to heaven, and Prophet Muhammed rode on donkey in the sky / Cut the moon into two (I've forgotten how it was written sha), why shouldn't we believe that Sango strikes too or Obatala came from heaven via chain?

Ori Oyetola ti d daru

Thane:
I'm in Ibafo, before Berger

Oh, I don't know about Lagos sha.
I can only vouch for Osun state.

Thane:
nawao
please can people quote this comment with places on the Lagos mainland with steady power supply. I'm planning to relocate but power is important to my decision. Cost is also a factor
Also, if you are looking for a flat to stay in Ibafo, I have an empty room in a 3-bed. flatmate needed 70k

Lagos mainland and steady power is word and opposite.
Which state do you currently stay?

Anyone is okay, Aketi should just go.

Sheriff19:
. Guy 4get, I no dey for army but I get people for Force, if all igbo or any part of the South commot for the Nigerian armed forces, it is a disaster in a waiting, the beginning of slavery for the region. This whole issue might be a power play to frustrate some people out of the Army. So it can be dominated by certain people. Note the only set of people that can challenge and put the government on their toes are the military. COAS and other ogas for their are literally the second most powerful authority after the C-in-C(who is the president himself ).

I understand.

SarkinYarki:
I am the one that has 24 hours Electricity and
2 square foot rain shower na I dey use epileptic Nepa and baff from bucket like Tinubu yet you want to lie to defend the govt ... I am one of the few Nigerians that have 24 hours standby power generation and let me add that rain shower again for effect

So, I should respond like you did before "keep fooling yourself".

if. you have all these, then why bordering me?

jasent:
I have been against Biafra agitation because I believe in one Nigeria. But sincerely I am beginning to see why they want Biafra.If you're against Biafra kindly answer this man's questions.
SO THE ABOVE POST IS WHERE YOU SMELL TINUBU'S NAME FROM?KEEP SMELLING O,NAN U GET YOUR NOSE.

Lol, who's stopping them?

1. Seccesion clause in the constitution

2. boycotting anything Nigeria

3. War.

seunmsg:
Igbos can just keep Tinubu out of their mouth. What’s wrong with these people? Such a shame.

Yet, they don't care obout Orjis families milking abia dry.

SarkinYarki:
Shut up !!! Tinubu is the most corrupt Nigerian alive...... The electoral act forbids using money to entice voters Election day and also has a limit on money a politician can spend for elections and Tinubu breached both .. the financial act also forbid any cash transaction above 10 million naira to be carried out in cash ...

What about Orjis families
