helinues:
Yoruba currently in Kwara state are merely a resident... Nobody is disputing their Yorubaness

They lost their lands to Fulani caliphate.. Abeg make we talk the truth when needed.

Do you know what a resident is?

Do you know the Founders of those towns?

Or do you think residents are made Kings i.e. OBA of a place.

helinues:
Bro, the buttom line is Yoruba in Ilorin were conquered by Fulani..

The status quo remains except you either change that constitutionally or start another senseless war.

We don't have to be emotional about this Kwara issue.

Ilorin was conquered, Kwara state is a creation of Nigeria.

Ilorin Emirate is Asa and Ilorin local government areas.

Moro local government area which Ilorin wanted to Force into the Emirate went to the court and won

The rest of the local government areas like Ifelodun, Oyun, Ekiti etc were never under any Emir or Emirate.

helinues:
Which state is Ilorin located? Which region is the state belongs to?

See bro, we can't be accusing others of land grabbing while we are doing the same.

That's sheer hypocrisy.. If Kwara belongs to Yoruba's, then SE region also extend to some part of SS

Bruv your argument is funny

Who ever doubts igbo in the South south

How on earth do you believe Yorubas end in the South west region of Nigeria?

The fomer president of Benin Republic once came to Ife for a cheiftaincy title

So would you say Boni Yayi is no longer Yoruba because he wasn't born in South west Nigeria or because Sabe is not in South West Nigeria.

Oyo state See your mate showing transparency

Makinde social media almajiris why is your oga yet to give any palliatives in Oyo state despite numerous contributions and donations.

I know most of you would have snapped a million pictures to post on various social media platform if he has done that.

Outside making and publication of Stupid advertisement giggles, Makinde is truly an audio governor

ekhai:
Because you have forgotten that Edo migrated from Ile-Ife. Therefore we're descendants of the Yoruba.

Edos are not Yoruba.

Marcanthony:
Thats the plan of the OP from the start to start tribal war, there was never an appointment.

Op is not Vanguard

Vanguard Bleep up

PericomaNwankwo:
That's false. Igbos run into millions in Ivory Coast. Many trades are controlled by igbos. If you have lived in Abidjan then you'll know that an Igbo man owns the second most valued hotel in Ivory Coast. Due to some personal issues, I cannot release his name as he's currently doing a ten year time. Abidjan is like French version of Lagos for the Igbos. Ivory Coast was one of the first countries to recognize Biafra. It's no wonder Young Shall Grow owns a park in the heart of Abidjan named Biafra Park.

I am not talking about igbo population, but Yorubas have been going to those places before colonial period.

And Abijan is not for igbos oh, I don't know where you got that from.

I am also a Northerners now going by your logic abi you don't see Oyo in your map

PericomaNwankwo:
There are thousands of Yorubas working in the Cote D'Ivoirien immigration, police and military forces. If you are used to traveling within West Africa, then you'll know this. Igbos were the first to discover these countries, even though Igbos are more in numbers in these countries, the Yorubas blend easily with the Jula people of Abidjan and this have helped them to have a strong foundation in the Ivory Coast.

A Yoruba man helped me get an accommodation after weeks of squatting with some Ozubulu traders that treated me and my brother like strangers, thanks to the Mbaise brother that connected Abdul to us. Thanks to the Igbos in all the junctions of the world, from Aba to YSG park Mazamaza to Cotonou to Lome to Aflao to Accra to Abidjan to Liberia To Sierra Leone even to as far as Mali into Niger and back home to Sokoto Nigeria. Thanks to my Anambra brothers for their hospitality and especially to my Ozubulu brothers.

Udo ga achi!!!!!

@ emboldened is not true

Yorubas have been going to this countries before pre colonial period.

Walahi! all this Northern politicians are the same

See the nonsense this one is saying

Ayekotoo:
No, the children bear the names of the Christian wives too or the names of the community where those women hailed from.

My grandfather as an Awori man used the second method on an Hausa woman here in Lagos. Paid them with their coins

So na Awori you be?

Same thing that happened to Awori in Lagos with an Oba coming from a Bini lineage is how the Emir of Ilorin comes from Fulani lineage

So does that make the whole Lagos bini kingdom?

franozx:
Kul. Anyway all these were effects of war sha... Then state creation and zoning..... Then come to think of it, can the Yoruba's in the north ever join SW? Just be truthful to urself

They have been fighting to join South West since

Ayekotoo:
That means they still got some balls.

Even in Ilorin Yorubas who were brain washed by Islam ideology joined with the Fulani to fight Alafin who they felt was a idol worshiper who didn't mean well for them, something similar to what they did in Hausa kingdoms.

Ayekotoo:
I don't believe the figure. It should be 30% Yoruba, or have you forgotten, majority always win

Ilorin is 70% pure Yoruba bruv

The mix blood are the majority of the Elites tho.

Ayekotoo:
Go to Kaduna, Taraba and Adamawa and see how fulani are marrying off the Christian women.

And giving their children Yoruba names

btw None of the governors of Kwara apart from Saraki has a Fulani lineage.

Ayekotoo:
Buhari is a Fulani man but speaks Hausa after conquering the lands.

Buhari is a Hausa/Fulani man.

Niggmatic:
The link says that they are an ethnic group and a sub yoruba group. I'm bit confused. Are they Yoruba in believe? Anyway, I appreciate your info . Thanks.

Egba, Egbado, Oyo, Ekitis are all subgroups of Yorubas like Ana Yoruba.

Yes they are Yoruba in every believe and like most Yorubas in Nigeria trace their origin to Ife.

Ayekotoo:
Is jebba and Ilorin the same?

Jebba is the most northern town in Kwara state and More Oyo-oba(Yoruba) than some places in Ondo, Ogun who were never described with that term before the advent of Nigeria..

Sadly just like many Yoruba towns in Kwara today, Jebba formed an alliance with Emir Shitta to destroy Katunga (old Oyo empire capital).

However, Today jabba still hangs on to Its Yoruba heritage.

Ayekotoo:
Yoruba by mouth but fulani by his actions and way if life.

Do you know the previous governor have christian wife like Saraki himself

Which Fulani can do that?

Ayekotoo:
At the bolded, can Buhari even speak fluent fulfide? No, because they conquered some Hausa lands just like they did to Ilorin.

So doesn't Buhari see himself as Hausa Fulani?

Ayekotoo:
Below is the picture of Obaro of Kabba, Oba Solomon Awoniyi . Kabba is true to its root

Google Oba of Jebba

And tell me if he is not true to his roots
