Culture / "Afonjas" Demystified: You Need To Read This!!!!! by sinite93(m): 6:17pm On Sep 09, 2016 |
"He who knows not and knows not he knows not, He's a fool" (Arabian proverb) It pain me when some acclaimed intellectuals plunge into ignorance. Ignorance is not a taboo, but being ignorant of ones ignorance is a stupidity. Our dear country is heavily invested with tribalism I know. But using inappropriate term is an indication of depth in ignorance. It's now a trend on Nairaland to regard south west people as Afonjas. What an ignorance!!!!! it's analogous to be referring Nigeria as Buratai, because Afonja is actually a Yoruba war veteran and also a General, not a tribe as some people used to say. Below is the brief history of Afonja in relation with South west At the start of the 19th century Ilorin was a border town in the northeast of the Oyo Empire , with a mainly Yoruba population but with many Hausa and Fulani immigrants. It was the headquarters of an Oyo General, Afonja, who rebelled against the empire and helped bring about its collapse with the assistance of the Fulani. The rebellion was powered by Nupe and Bornu Moslem slaves. Afonja had been assisted by Salih Janta, also called Shehu Alimi, a leader of the local Fulani. In 1824 Afonja was assassinated and Alimi's son Abdusalami became Emir. Ilorin became an emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate . For some time Ilorin was a major center of the slave trade. In the past slaves had mainly been sent north across the Sahara, but now they were being sent south via the Yoruba lands to the coast to supply demand from the USA, the West Indies, and Brazil. Slaves were taken from the Igbo lands to the east and from conquered Yoruba towns, as well as from areas further to the north, and were traded for cloth and other goods. Ilorin continued to expand southward until it was checked in the 1830s by the growing power of Ibadan, an Oyo successor state. The Ilorin cavalry were ineffective in the jungle to the south, and by the 1850s Ibadan had access to guns from European traders on the coast. The capital was occupied by the Royal Niger Company in 1897 and its lands incorporated into the British colony of Northern Nigeria in 1900, although the emirate continued to perform ceremonial functions. Call a spade a spade, the inhabitants of south west Nigeria are Yoruba not Afonjas!!! Will you please stop ranting Afonja everywhere, it piss me off. I mean deliberate ignorance piss me off |

Politics / Finally, Inec Postpone Edo Election by sinite93(m): 10:22pm On Sep 08, 2016 |
Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has agreed to shift the Edo state governorship election by two weeks due to security reasons. The election which was scheduled to hold on Saturday, September 10, was postponed following a security meeting held in Benin, the Edo state capital in the evening on Thursday, September 8, the Punch reports. The commission told journalists during a press release at 8.00pm in Benin, that the election was postponed following the recommendations of security agencies. See the press briefing on the postponement of the Edo election below: Recall that the Nigerian Police and Department of State Services, DSS, had cautioned INEC to postpone the election citing security concerns. Speaking in a joint press conference by the two agencies on September 7, the spokesperson of the police Dan Awunah said threats have been issued by some Boko Haram elements to attack residents during the election. Awunah said the threats were gathered through credible election availed the agencies. However, the commission earlier today said it will go ahead with the election, but bowed to pressure at the last minute and rescheduled the poll. Want to read news with extra |
