my dear i am not arguing who is yollloba or not...i am just reporting what he said..i met a lady at ilupeju that bears kemi and from somewhere in kogi but she vehemently denies been yoruba...such an intelligent girl...anybody can taker any name but surname is a pointer to the tribe


and seriki/saraki is a fulani name and the MAN said it all by HIMSELF not me...pls reserve your energy for him if you will meet not me


did you see the refrences and links


NO BE ME WRITE AM ABEG


LoL

superstar1:
OP, it seems the reality of Saraki being yoruba seems a bitter pill to swallow.

Do you think all African ethnic groups are not proud of their heritage like y1bos, that names their children names of other ethnicities eg Bamidele Azikwe -- that is even the first born of the greatest Y1boman that ever liveth.

His name is bukola.

His surname is saraki.

His father's name is Olusola.

His mother's name is Morenike

His sister's name is Gbemisola.

I love this "One Nigeria Fulani Family" then. They were so captivated by the alluring Yoruba names, languages and culture, that they embraced it in its totality.

can you please grow up...this is not a tribal bashing thread..take ur hatred elsewhere...we are trying to analyse what the man saraki said about himself...what is wrong with you people...go and carry placards pls


this is not your place

htconeline:
Ibo the lose tribe ahahhahahahah
They can as well call dino melaye fulani man......since everyone from north is fulani.
Even governor of Kwara is fulani according to ibo ideology.

This APC are putting fire in Nigeria

zik4ever:
May present Gbajabiamila as House Leader

* Saraki consolidates, gains more Senators



The All Progressives Party (APC) is launching a new offensive to regain control of the two chambers of the National Assembly, the Daily Times has learnt.

The new plans are to enable the governing party make up for the loss it suffered in the lawmaking arm against to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) which saw APC candidates losing in the bid for Senate President and House of Representatives Speaker despite having majority legislators.

Daily Times can report that a caucus of APC officials, chaired by APC’s National Chairman John Odigie-Oyegun rose from a meeting yesterday (Thursday) with a resolve to regain the leadership of both legislative chambers.

Senator Bukola Saraki who was backed by the PDP emerged as Senate President while the opposition party’s member Ike Ekweremadu became Deputy Senate President in what could be described as a democratic coup.

Also, Yakubu Dogara who was supported by the PDP trounced APC’s preferred candidate for House Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila.

At yesterday’s meeting, the APC leaders resolved to ensure that Gbajabiamila emerges as House Leader, the party being in the majority.

Although it is not certain who among the APC Senators the party will present to contest the Senate’s leadership position, indications are rife that the leadership was already in touch with President Muhammadu Buhari on the issue.

Party officials in separate chats with our correspondents disclosed that having fallen flat to intrigues during contest for the National Assembly’s top positions, the APC is now learning to tread cautiously on parliamentary issues.

This is coming against the background that the Senate President made some political gains over the past few hours as more Senators, hitherto in opposition to his leadership had crossed to his side.

It was learnt last night that at a meeting of APC top shots after the results of the National Assembly leadership contests were announced, party top shots admitted some lapses and pledged to make amends.

The most aggrieved party in APC on the situation in the National Assembly is that of Senator Bola Tinubu, believed to have been the source of strength of Senator Ahmed Lawan and Hon. Gbajabiamila, both of whom lost out in power game in the lawmaking arm of government.

The anti-Tinubu sentiment in APC is said to have been responsible for the losses suffered by Lawan and Gbajabiamila in the race for National Assembly leadership.

More APC members, in particular, supporters of General Buhari and those of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar were resolute that Tinubu should be caught to size in his alleged desire to control the National Assembly, since he allegedly has the structure of the party and the Vice Presidency of Nigeria under control.

Tinubu is believed to have installed most of the top officials of APC, while more party members are believe that he was attempting to use the party to also gain a hold on the National Assembly.

A Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, Senator Shehu Sani expressed worry on the delicate power balance in the National Assembly with Senators from the PDP being the ultimate beneficiary.

He said the nature of power composition in the Senate had shown clearly that the APC had not been able to put its house in order.

According to him, the turn of events in the National Assembly is a clear reflection of deep-seated crises within APC.

He said APC slipped by allowing the opposition to gain foothold in the power game in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The PDP, he averred, never deserved such a huge consideration and privilege.

According to him, all through the 16 years of the PDP being at the helm, it never deemed it fit to concede an inch of opportunity for the opposition to share power with it at any level of governance.

Former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Godswill Obot Akpabio, now a Senator, echoed the comfort of the PDP in the Senate when he told newsmen in Abuja on Thursday that PDP his party would henceforth endeavour to make the chamber more comfortable for APC members.

He said PDP had only proved that it had the mastery of politics and had only shown the APC a little of it.

The former Governor added that the PDP would make things easy for the APC in the Senate in the interest of peace and good governance.

Akpabio lauded President Buhari for accepting the leadership of Saraki and Dogara, stressing that the action had shown that the President is truly a leader.

However, Senator Shehu Sani who said APC had suddenly found itself in a delicate condition with the PDP’s influence, would look up to the President for solution.

The President, according to him, has the option of embracing Saraki’s leadership and committing Senators of APC to working with him in harmony, or calling a meeting of the party to start a process of restrategising on regaining the grounds lost to the opposition party

seunmsg:
If the Yoruba mum is responsible for the children's firstname being Yoruba, how do you explain the Saraki surname then? Did they brought the Saraki name from Mali?

WHY THIS ARGUEMENT.... HE SAID HE IS A FULANI MAN...I THINK THAT SHOULD BE RESPECTED ALSO

For heaven sake seriki or saraki is a title just like oba or obi...it is not a Yoruba name...



have you heard of
Seriki Hausawa
Seriki Hausawa (Hausa/Fulani leader in Akwa Ibom)
The Seriki, Fulani of Egbaland




Now why are you disputing what an adult said about himself and he made it clear ...HE IS A FULANI MAN...stop these attachee...its embarrassing i must say

and that is a fact...i think south west are good in opposition so this is second nature of these people


lol

mployer:
APC should just return to southwest and continue the opposition they know best how to play..





PDP remains the ruling part

That is what i am making them to understand...SARAKI IS AN EDUCATED MAN AND HE CATEGORICALLY SAID THAT IN INTERVIEW THAT HE IS FULANI EVEN HIS FATHER SAID SO ALSO....why all these lies.


I will ashamed if I am a yoruba...this is attachee by force by fire

NDPVF:
Yoruba,all these lies wey una de tell,their is GodOoooo!.
Please respect Saraki for who he said he is!.
Stop fighting hard not to be seen as have been played fast one on,by Fulanis,so as to save face,for your utter stupidity and gross delusion.
Brace-up and accept the fact that,
1.President-Fulani
2.Senate President-Fulani.
Courtsey-Southwest stupidity.

they will claim everything just like the oduduwa ...failing from sky, from middle east. from benin


confusion everywhere but i think i will take what the man said about himself...HE SAID HE IS FROM FULANI in that interview and any other story is false or attachee

jerseyboy:
http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2010/12/07/kwara-bombshell-saraki-is-an-egba-man-ex-ambassador-reveals/

I WILL NOT RETURN THE PHONE NOT THAT I NEED IT BUT A PUNISHMENT...FUUCCKK MORALS

lol

jerseyboy:
Saraki is an Egba man from Abeokuta. His grand father was a Muslim scholar in Ivory Coast before returning to Nigeria and settling in Ilorin.

but they had a yoruba mum...and she can name him any yoruba name but that doesnt change the fact that the man is a fulani...which he said by himself ...so why this argument?

lari03:
Remember Rotimi stated how his father cherished the name he was called. If you live in the north or have real fulani friends you will know that an average fulani man will never take up a yoruba name.
Secondly if the story was coming from Sola Saraki, then it would be more acceptable, but what Bukola is saying was the spin story they hatched to back up his run for the PDP presidential primaries pre 2007 elections, so my friend follow the trend and understand the game.
This is the reason a true northerner will regard him as a yoruba man or you think Abubakar an arabic name indicates fulani ancestry? Fulani is vertically different from hausa. It is easier to learn to speak hausa than to learn to speak Fulfude.
But if you believe his political deception well, no one can stop you, but the truth remains the truth.

which one be number 3 again...i hope u now believe saraki aint damn yoruba dude...so quit this attachee...for your info igbo are not the dudes whining everywhere and carrying placards

Lushcream:
Southwest is dominated by Yoruba and if you are anyway near intelligent, you would know that there are Yoruba's in North Central too .... we have Igbo in SouthSouth and SouthEast ..... Yoruba is still the number 3 man and Igboman is his Deputy.

The has been questions and claims that Saraki is a yoruba man, but they just married a yoruba woman and African been a patrimonial society knows that a child is from the father.... we also try to understand Fulani aristocracy and rulers in kwarra state. This has made many people play ostrich and claim saraki...but the Saraki family clarified these doubts and they are recorded for posterity reasons. The posterity is here and APC is here with PDP


Please read with objective mind and this is no tribal bashing or name calling but a historical and intellectual exercise


There is also this unspoken dimension of Fulani-Yoruba rivalry in the matter. Saraki saw himself as a Fulani and Offa people, far from the Sardauna days before Saraki burst into scene, in our characteristic manner of holding our own against any subjugation �real or imagined � have always seen Saraki as the face of Fulani rule in Kwara. Indeed, the cheapest campaign line against Saraki in Offa is, ‘a vote for Saraki(that is, his candidate) is a sale of our Yoruba birthright to Fulani aristocracy'. It worked wonders, even though it never got us political clout outside our domain, as even the Kwara South senatorial representation, which should be in our kitty as the largest and perhaps most politically conscious community in the zone, was always elusive, no thanks to the Saraki influence in other part of the zone, which made us one-community army. In fact, this factor played openly in the Lawal-Saraki tug of war ahead of 2003 elections, where Offa people preferred and voted for Lawal, who was seen as face of Yoruba in the state. No prize for guessing our votes were not able to secure victory for the retired naval officer. -

Journalist:One is at a loss about your real identity because some people would call you a Fulani while others would describe you as a Yoruba. Some said your mother was from Iseyin and your wife is from Owo in Ondo State. There are even people saying you are half Christian while others argue that you are a devoted Moslem. Who really are you?



Saraki:My mother was from Iseyin in Oyo State while my father was from Ilorin in Kwara State. My great-great grandfather originated from Mali and I am talking about some 150 to 200 years ago. And they are Fulani and that is where we got our Fulani connection from. My great grandfather settled in Ilorin preaching the religion of Islam. A section of Ilorin came from Gwandu, they were all refreshing and they were religious but my people came there as practicing Muslims from Mali with their “own Quran”.

In fact, the Emir and I used to joke that we had our own Quran and that nobody

Nigeria: Saraki Has a Fulani Agenda Says Alhaji Olola Kasumu

Q: What's your union doing now that your chiefs have been downgraded?

A: The amendment of the Chiefs Appointment and Deposition Law by the state government is the most undemocratic and illegal step ever taken by this administration of Bukola Saraki. It was maliciously done to punish perceived political enemies of the present government and provided opportunity for them to dismantle all the good things put in place by the immediate past government of Alhaji Mohammed Alabi Lawal.

http://allafrica.com/stories/200310271091.html

ROTIMI bears a yoruba name but he isnt...but why do you have issues...a man said that he is FULANI why are you still disputing that...nawa for people seff

lari03:
Your grandfather was from Mali, but your father's surname was Saraki: a yoruba surname; Your father's first name was Sola, he married a yoruba woman and he named his son: Bukola & his daughter: Gbemisola.
Now tell us how un-fulani can you get, stop dwelling on the confused foundations of Ilorin to peddle political lies. A real fulani man will never bear a yoruba name, because every African is proud of their heritage, and our names serve as a reminder of where we come from.

I DEY SHAME FOR THE PEOPLE WAY CARRY THIS PLACARDS...IT SHOWS ONE THING...THEY HAVE LOST IT ALL.

BOUNTYDOG:
They don't all go for new cars in the developed world,if you have a taste for high end products and you cannot afford the bests of the new ones its wise for you to buy a neat and sound almost new of the older model than buy a new of lower quality.

Saraki is a true born of his father and a Yoruba to the core who used wisdom and core politics to play national game and defeat Tinubu both at regional and national level.

Tinubu wanted to control Kwara state through lai mohammed, he was defeated, he sent Belgore, he was defeated, he mastermind Belgore into PDP, they were defeated right from primary election, Tinubu supported Lawan for Senate President, he was defeated .... no be today Saraki don dey defeat Tinubu.....

Tinubu should leave Bukola alone .....!!!!

Saraki is a fulani name and the man said he is fulani ...why change his origin oga
