How can Karu be up to 2 million people? lol Ilorin is faar bigger than Karu. Heck, it isn't even nearly as large as the Osogbo urban area |
Nope. Abuja is growing into Nassarawa and might probably extend to parts of niger in the future. Lagos is growing into Ogun... Ikorodu and Lekki are exploding. Besides, some of these areas you are adding to "Auja agglomeration" is a stretch..... too disjointed and far away to be part of Abuja metro. They are their own towns/metros. lol if you are counting Suleja as part of Abuja metro, then Abeokuta will become part of Lagos metro. Is Abuja even bigger than Ibadan? Mind you, Ibadan is bigger than Kano, forget the nonsense Naija stats that has been misinforming everybody than Kano is #2 and larger than Ibadan at #3... |
Blame shifting at its finest. As at the 13th of March, germany had already recorded 3,062 cases of COVID-19. Is it that Nigerian leaders generally lack common sense or what? |
From Omo Atiku to Abba Kyari.... who is next from the elite class. Honestly, our leaders are clueless, Imagine people travelling to and coming back from countries in Western Europe right in the middle of March and not self isolating on return, exposing hundreds and potentially thousands of people to grave health consequences by their despicable attitudes. |
joepepsy:rather than quoting me with a rubbish reply, simply tell me if what i have said is wrong. ![]() |
darfay:And you are going to eat my name when you see it on the list? Don't go and look for something to do. Urhobo wayo. |
Yoruba Gbayi. Omoluabis 4r show. When talking about sheer Human resources and brain power, give it to the West, although other regions are trying too, especially East.. infact, the south in general and some parts of MB. ![]() Normally, if things were the way they should be, Southern Nigeria would be the undisputed light of the entire black race world over. Coronavirus jam our purposeless and wicked leaders. ![]() |
Some tems need some updating, you need to collaborate with versed Yoruba linguists from Unilag, Lasu, UI , OAU or Unilorin. Cheese in Yoruba is Warankasi. Orange - Orombo (or Osan) Okra - ila Horse (Esin - prncd Eshin) |
lx3as:Just wanted to highlight this because a particular Benin workmate of mine whose name I won't mention still said at work TODAY that benins came "from Yoruba", in his exact words: "Bini people na Yoruba people na, abeg wetin be difference sef" It was I the Yoruba that was even telling the Benin man that Benins didn't come from Yoruba although a large portion of the population might have in the past. I have never experienced Benin-Yoruba attrition in real life. Yes there might be arguments about Obas and Oduduwa and What not, but that's it. The ambience between both groups is verrry cordial. Inter-marriages btw both are not even really seen as inter marriage. |
Add Bassa Nge to the Nupe cluster at #6... so that is also half of Bassa LGA. Jukuns are overcounted, they do not constitute a majority in that many LGAs. Try and use the word 'cluster' when describing multiple distinct but related ethnic groups, so that people know you are talking of a grouping which might include even more members that may or may not be listed. i.e The "Efik-Ibibio-Oron-Annang" cluster The "Jukun and related peoples cluster" The "Afenmai people cluster" Overall, good job and I salute the hours of research you must have put into this, because I can actually relate. |
This is how they exiled their Emirs to lands in the middle belt in the past and the exiled ones ended up creating little fiefdoms for themselves by forcefully taking away the lands that belonged to the original tribes of those places. From their ancestral home in Fuuta Toro Senegal, to Sokoto to Kano city and now to Nassarawa... These invaders basically see middle belt states as their backwater provinces. Since when does Kano state have 'royal boys quarters' in Nasarawa which is a completely independent and autonomous state entity under the Nigerian constitution just like Kano? why wasn't he exiled to Katsina or Gwandu? These Northerners are still reasoning like we are in the age of the Sokoto terrorist jihad. |
nlPoster:I would like to know more about the Egbado areas. Their history is very obscure compared to other parts of Yorubaland. |
RedboneSmith:So which village/Town/City is urs on the list. ![]() |
RedboneSmith:Yes, Ute or Ute ilogi is a small village in Osse local government. They migrated from Imeri town, Their progenitor is Akensi. Imeri was formerly in Edo state but was transferred to Ondo when the people of the town clamored for that, since they claim the state was wrong (They being Yoruba and not Edo) In exchange for the moving of Yoruba speaking Imeri to Ondo from Edo, Sobe was moved to Edo from Ondo. |
pazienza:Forget sentiments. SW churns out the highest number of graduates in Nigeria as a whole. Add from 2006 to 2019 and you will see, unless you want to deny the obvious. |
Part of the proof that CIA are utterly confused, and in fact do not know what they are doing is that the figures for Nigeria have changed again. Yorubas are now 15.5%, Igbos 15.2% and Hausa 30%!, Fulani 6%, Tiv 2.4%, Kanuri 2.4%, Ibibio 1.8%, Ijaw/Izon 1.8%, Others 24.7% which is different from their last year released figures but still clearly as dubious as the first if not more. People shouldn't just swallow every statistic they see online 'hook line and sinker' simply because it looks like it is coming from a seemingly credible source, especially when said statistic looks clearly faulty/fallible. Many of these people seat at their armchairs in faraway countries and throw about figures on issues they know absolutely nothing or have only a very limited knowledge about and suddenly they become 'experts'. cc: Nowenuse |
Very rare, but they exist, Unlike the other way round i.e (Igbos that can speak Yoruba) That is what I can say. |
ProWalker:Is this an assumption or what it clearly stated by the backing groups and/or states? |
hisexcellency34:If I mention Enugu and Ebonyi which already host Arewa regional offices now, una go dey vex. Pls you ppl be serious for once. Na serious matter be this. |

This might sound like an obvious question to some, but trust me when I tell you that it isn’t! A few weeks ago, when the Western governors, stake holders and security parastatals came together in the city of Ibadan (which would later be unanimously designated city headquater of the security outfit) to launch the WNSN -Western Nigeria Security Network, we all saw a clearly laid out modus operandi- We saw the state governors and by extension the 6 different state house of assemblies that would be passing the laws necessary to back the forthcoming operations. We knew the states involved. There was a map, complete with a logo, a coat of arms and other symbolisms. It was dubbed “Operation Amotekun” Voices from the Northern region (especially NW) and most especially the Fulanis were the most vocal in opposing the move. They dubbed it a tribal militia even though at the launching, the Yoruba and Yoruboid local governments outside the West, trapped in other states across the country were not include in the scope of the network (at least for now). All that aside, now according to various news sources, some elements From the North have purportedly launched The Northern Nigeria Security Initiative dubbed “Shege Ka Fasa” We are yet to see any northern state governors nor any relevant Northern stake holder or intellectual supporting or elaborating on the initiative. What are the Northern states covered by this apparatus?. We all know that Amotekun covers the Yoruba states which are all mostly culturally and ideologically homogenous. What states are within the scope of Shege ka Fasa, since we all know that in the so called “North”, not all areas have the same security challenges or even the same security goals. Are they the North-West States? Are they the states where Hausa is widely spoken as a language? Or where Hausas or Fulbes are dominant? Are they the states that have shariah law or hisbah police in operation? Are they the entire states in the generic “Northern Nigeria”? Where will the security headquarters be? A lot of people would really like to know- becUse this has a lot of implications. |

It is true what they say that Islamic indoctrination turns the head of people upside down. This man is a disgrace to his origins and people as a Tiv man, but now he is supporting Fulani terrorists against something that would become massively beneficial to his own people simply because he is now an "Alhaji".// SMH! |
