THE YORUBA KINGDOM
The yorubans today occupy the land to the south and west of the lower niger.
They form one of the leading tribes in Nigeria. Their neighbours are the Hausas
And fulanis to the north, the dahomeyans to the west and the Binis or Edos to the
east. There is no evidence to show that they, like the Hausas or the Kanuris, had
any access to the barber cultures.
Origins
Like other west African tribes, the origins of the yorubas are still wrapped in myth
and mystery. Some of the available evidences show that they arrived at their present
homes either in the 10th or 11th century. One of the legends show that they migrated
from the east. It is also suggested that their fore fathers were either Berbers or
Hamites who migrated to the south from areas around the River Nile.
But the most popular and dependable legend says that their ancestors belonged to the
Quresh tribe of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Their first father, according to this legend, was
Lamrud or Namrud. He had an idol priest called 'Ya-Harba' from where the tribe got its name.
The word 'Ya-Harba' is an Arabic word meaning 'warrior' or 'army - general'. Ya-Harba was the
son of Lamrud.
When Islam was introduced in Mecca in the 7th century, Lamrud, Ya-Harba and their supporters refused to embrace the religion. Soon, the newly converted muslims
were forced to take arms against Lamrud and his pagan supporters. The pagans were
defeated after which they fled the city, crossing the red sea to Africa. They got to Egypt in 648 A. D . Soon they moved to Tripoli ,Algeria and Morocco. During this journey the idol priest, Ya-Harba, consulted his oracle ,and he was told that he and his people should go to wherever the
Oracle directed them. They followed the oracle's direction until they eventually arrived at Ile-Ife.
This was around 900 A. D. Or 1000 A. D. The exact time is not yet known, however.
According to the same legend, Lamrud and his idol-priest, Ya-Harba, died on the way. It was therefore Oduduwa who led the Yorubas to Ile-Ife. This is why Oduduwa, and not Lamrud or Ya-Harba, is referred to today as the 'Father of the Yorubas. But even though Ya-Harba
could not reach Ile-Ife his people decided to immotalise his name by calling their
settlement 'Ya-Harba, ' which was later converted to 'Yoruba'.
There we're some who left Mecca with the Yorubas but who did not get to Ile-Ife.
Some stopped at the bank of the Red Sea. These now form part of the ethnic groups
of the eastern provinces of the Republic of the Sudan. They are known as the Bejas
And the Adandawa in Eritrea and Ethiopia. They have the same figure as the Yorubas
Of Nigeria. Others are the Shajia( also in the Sudan) . They ,like the Yorubas, carry tribal
Marks. In the Chad Republic, there is also another group called the Wadai, who claimed
the same historical background as the Yorubas.




PLEASE POST TO FRONT PAGE SO THAT THE YORUBAS IN NAIRALAND WOULD KNOW THEIR HISTORY.

Igbos are minority yet together with South Minorities and some Northern Minorities, gave Jonathan 12million votes as against 15milllion votes given to Buhari by Yoruba Hausa Fulani Tiv and Some Northern Minorities.


Well keep underestimating us why we keep crushing you guys.

ZZ22:
Ethnic jealousy is at the roots of the hate between the Yorubas and the Igbos. Economic and political angling of past is also responsible. The Igbos are by nature very industrious and talented. They excel at just about anything they touch. The Igbos are very aggressive and domineering people. The Yorubas are afraid of the Igbo-take-over spirit and as such, are jealous and refuse to accept that reality.
If you read through the colonial documents leading up to the 1914 Amalgamation, you will see that Federick Luggard's Muhamedian Emirate of the North was broke as he routinely was unable to pay salaries to his colonial workers. At this time, Southern Nigeria (present day SE and SS regions) generated about 115 million in trade, a monumental achievement that was never-before heard of in this part of Africa then. The Yoruba Southwest at the time was called Lagos colony and this region had very mediocre economic impact.
Lagos colony was not financially bouyant, though not as poor as the North. For the Amalgamation to work however, Lagos colony and Southern Nigeria must be grouped together, in order to access the wealth generated by the Igbos to take care of the North. Luggard and his Northern conspirators only really wanted Igbo land but excluding Lagos colony would have met disapproval from the colonial office back in England charged with approving the Amalgamation plan. So, they grouped the East and West as Southern Nigeria, where the Yorubas wanted lead but Igbos refuse to allow them.
Look at it this way: your house is poor (North) but your neighbor's house is rich (South). To access your neighbor's wealth you announce that both houses belong to the same compound, so as to grab and share in the wealth of your neighbor's house.
To highlight the aggressiveness of Igbo success and ingenuity, the Igbos dominated industry and government before the civil war. Azikiwe even attempted to rule over the Yorubas in their land. Being dominated like that shook, and continues to shake, the Yorubas to their core, hence, the animosity.
More so, because the wealth of the new Nigeria was domiciled in the then South east (today's SS and SE combined), the Yorubas made sure they stand with the North to exterminate the Igbos for attempting to break away the rich region from the poor and parasitic regions. The civil war was genocide on the Igbos, Awolowo seized all the food and humanitarian supplies sent from other countries to the Igbos because the supplies came through Lagos port. The threat to deny the Yorubas and Northerners a share in the wealth now domiciled in today's SS region is why the Igbos are highly discriminated against politically, today, by the benefactors of one Nigeria. Obasanjo has confessed openly in the past that if the Federal government allows a functional seaport in the then Southeastern region, that the Igbos will use it to import military weapons to fight for breakoff. It is this reason why every was taken to Lagos.
So, the hatred or animosity between the Yorubas and the Igbos is rooted in these ethno-political and economic facts of the past. It is not personal, but ethnic or tribal instincts necessitates the blocking of other ethnic groups from outcompeting your ethnic group. The Yorubas see the Igbos as their rival in just about everything. They think of themselves as second to the North but they see the Igbos as challenging that, even with no political power or federal government help. They despise the guts of the Igbos.
Great people survive extermination. Most countries around the world hate Israel because they survived extermination by Hitler's Germany, and are today one of the strongest country and people on earth. The Igbos survived extermination by Northerners and the Yorubas to emerge today's most industrious and economically creative people. The Yorubas think this economic feat should be them. If the Igbos are allowed political power, in addition to their ability to generate money and to create things out of nothing, imagine how powerful the Igbos would dominate hence, the reason for the jealousy. The Yorubas are afraid of being dominated, but their Lagos is dominated and bought over by the Igbos. These are the causal factors.

There is evidence to back my assertion.

I rarely speak without back up.

Unlike your emotional rants.

Cry from now till tomorrow, unless u change, u will remain backwards and keep blaming igbos for their success.

HungerBAD:
Interesting.

The Political season is here and the hallelujah chorister have started again.

Truth is, President Buhari should not waste his money(or our money)on these Mushroom Groups, that usually spring up around election period.

Same way GEJ was scammed.

A large percentage of Nigerians have lost in you and your style of leadership. We did not see the Eldorado you promised us,and which made some of us support you.

It is about time we Nigerians cut our losses and let you go.

One Million Mushroom Organisations,or even the famed Russian BOT's that helped sway election to Donald Trumps way, cannot help you (Buhari)convince Nigerians that the BLACK we are seeing KOROKORO is WHITE.

hungryboy:
nothing dey vex me like all this organisations that claim to represent a particular ethnic group, when the don't even have 20% of their tribesmen as members.

@POLITICSNGR

The Yoruba youth Council has highlighted several reasons why it would not be endorsing President Muhammadu Buhari for President in 2019.

The group distanced itself from a planned Yoruba youth Rally in support of the President's Second term Bid. Lopsided appointments, Fulani Herdsmen killings, Economic hardship were among the reasons listed by the group.

In a statement obtained by PoliticsNGR signed by the leader of the group, Oluwole Eric and its Publicity Secretary, Lekan Shobowale, YYC denied any involvement with the planned rally. The statement read;

"It has come to our notice that a group known as Yoruba Progressive People’s Congress, an arm of a political party (name withheld) led by one Pelumi Amodu is by no means a representative of Yoruba Youth Council or working for YYC.

The group in its own wisdom endorsed and called for a nationwide rally in the name of Yoruba Youths as an aftermath of the letter of former President Olusegun Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari.We at the Yoruba Youth Council hereby dissociate ourselves from this plan.

We all know this is not a good time for such rally with unmitigated attendance of killings, mass destruction of properties as well as disregard to the principle of federal character through lopsided federal appointment among other reasons.

We view this act as only a means by the organizer to deceive Mr. President and scoop monetary gains at the expense of ever dynamic and resourceful Yoruba Youths."
