Do U Nigerians have your version?
"Nkatie"is an Akan word that means groundnuts thought we had it here only..

the snack is not nigerian, haba.

Fulaman198:
No worries never though it would be my Yoruba friends to do it though (no offence to the Yorubas). Thought it would be AAs but the AAs on this site seem to be the most civil bunch out of all of us.

the uncivil person on the thread so far, is the one you're responding to.

There is not much to it @tpia, you know Yoruba is patrilineal, tracing lineage through the father: as such, a son of a slave is a slave, so a male slave in Yoruba can sire children but they will still be inherited like property in their next generation. But the danger is if that slave finds his ways to position of power. At this the Yoruba anchor a saying: b'eru ba joba, eniyan koni ku'kan.

true, the kids will have the status of the father.


i guess the slave owner would try to transfer the slave during his lifetime, rather than risk him becoming his master.


The proverb sounds like the bible one.

You don't have to wait, google is your friend. Moreso by the time you finish Sultan Bello's book, more answer will be in the offing to you. I enjoy the 'Aro Oke Igbo' terror aspect a great deal, hm what can I say, we learn something new everyday.

oke sef na Yoruba word, in this context.

food poisoning.

And the snack is not Nigerian.

why do nlers always like pretending everything is Nigerian?

Denko2721987:
Do women feel less concerned about what they would be in for?

there is husband scarcity.

macof:
nope my area was under oyo instead but some areas of East Yorubaland were under Bini notably Owo and Akure

,


yes, the safer usual mentions which are randomly parroted on nairaland.

You for say the entire southwest, nay the whole world, was under Bini?

btw, where is this area of yours which you place under Oyo while assigning other people's area to Bini? And how do you correlate your Oyo claim with your nairaland Bini grabs?

What warring groups in the east can be compared to Egba, Owu and Oyo?

seriously, you sound like you browse google and nairaland and obtain your info from there.

ok, this is what Igbo Akwa Ibom people look like.

crackhaus:
It's you I want to marry, wad' up!

How can you marry someone who is married to Jesus.


Anyway, if you can minimize your constant badmouthing of women, you'll see one to date/marry.

Why so critical, haba.

Wulfruna:
Historical facts are historical facts. He'll either ignore this post and move on to other stuff, or come back and try desperately to find faults and loopholes in the words of Muhammad Bello son of the Shehu Usman Dan Fodio. He'll never agree that you have been right and he has been wrong.

Because some people keep looking at history from an ethnically-arrogant perspective, that's why this issue has been dragged out longer than it should. Everyone feels the need to claim superiority to all their neighbours. But history has always been a game of 'you fall for me, I fall for you.'

He is Fulani( I think), he can't see it from a non-ethnic viewpoint. If he did, it would challenge his beliefs.


Besides, he's possibly more familiar with the Adamawa side which is towards the Cameroon border, so perhaps he's more cognizant with the politics of that region ( ie Cameroon area).

bigfrancis21:
The article mentioned Ilorin all through engaging in the sale of slaves, and not Oyo empire as you previously claimed. Mind you, the Ilorin empire at the peak of its slave trade activities was already a fulani emirate, after the Yorubas had been overthrown by the Fulanis and the Fulanis took over power till today. The ilorin slave trade is about Fulanis selling Yorubas in their own land and not Yorubas selling Hausas/Fulanis. Thus, the Ilorin slave trade can be effectively said to be a Fulani slave trade of sorts, selling Yorubas into slave trade, as well as captives from the North. I see no other Yoruba empire achieving such feat as the fulani-led empire of Ilorin. Not even Oyo empire.

Ilorin was a slave trading depot, various slaves passed through there.

And, if you're not admiring slavery in this post, then what else could you be doing?

macof:
Made wat up? Lmao I can assure you Yorubas were an ethnicgroup of power. And only the eastern Yorubas were conquered by Bini, the warring and trading groups were found much westernly

Pls mention it

Bro, perhaps your area was conquered by Bini, just saying. Not everybody can relate with that.


In addition, the western Yorubas are the easy going ones. If you are looking for the warring groups, check easternly.

^i just saw your post where you discussed the bloodline issue.

absoluteSuccess:
. . . . . . ..

are you open to discussing this bloodline thing?

And are you prexios?

illiad1:
I also read in my book which I have promised to continue searching for, that a lot of people in present day Ogun state were actually from sierra lone, even in lagos here a lot of those who now claim yoruba& lagos islander and all were actually from sierra lone like Adeniyi Jones, Tiamiyu Savage, campus in fact it maintained that half of the lagos island was occupied by sierra lonians who now go as yorubas

they were yorubas who had probably been shipped to sierra leone via lagos.

oloyede252:
i also heard of a woman who is being shamed because she gave birth through normal delivery with their reason being that she is too poor and not ....

You know

my story
is from a movie called
LIE LIE PEOPLE

they'll say the kitty kat is uglified by normal delivery.

how's that for being shamed.

women!

Fulaman198:
This is quite laughable at best. The only accurate thing said here is in regards to the Mande (Mandingo people). Prior to the 19th Century, there were many other groups of Fulani settled in present-day Nigeria as Fulanis came in groups of many different clans from various West african countries. Usman Bii Foduye for example his roots were that of the Senegalese Fulani (the Toroobe) who were known as Clerics and people of God. However, there are many clans that settled in Nigeria even before the 19th Century.

In the past from Senegal all the way to Sudan, we Fulani gained a reputation as fierce warriors (though that's all in the past now). From our battles in Maasina Mali with the Tuaregs, Songhai, and the Mande. To everywhere. The reason why we are so widespread is due to this wanting to conquer.

Having a reputation as fierce warriors doesnt mean you couldnt be sold or enslaved.

It depended on what the need was from overseas. Ie what type of manpower was in demand.

mrsmith11:
Lol
So in the sexuality section I said I throw money around or ........

You were saying something about licking your partner's anus.


if you need to adjust the post, go and do so.

Fulaman198:
I don't know why Yorubas like to make stuff up that never happened

Ironic in view of your following comment:

You guys were conquered by the Benin people (Edos)

Lolz, funny.


Benin and Edos who bear Yoruba names?

Thats like saying Nigerians conquered European colonizers and thats why Nigerians bear European names.

Yet you think you think you sold Fulanis into slavery?It was more the other way around

Yes, Fulanis were slave traders, but many of them were also sold.

But I don't want to mention it because it's wrong to discuss such things

You should know Yoruba also don't like to discuss some things.

absoluteSuccess:
Back in those days, the Yoruba used to sell Hausa and Fulani into slavery. But the Yoruba sold more of their own people to preserve their (slaveowners') bloodline from that of a slave

how does selling people preserve your bloodline? You do that by investigating potential hookups, imo.

op why do you need the information and why do you refuse to check google or ask around.

you be calculator?

crackhaus:
All Nigerian men are evil except my husband.

bro, go and date/marry so your SO can also say that about you, since that's your dream.

KanwuliaJara:
TUFIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! BUSH, VIOLENT ANIMALS!!!!

Frustrated, CURSED sons of BYTCHES. . . .!

wow, this hatred is much.

didnt someone once open a thread about how he saw his ex girlfriend waiting for okada in the rain with her baby on her back.

not sure what we were supposed to do with that information.

bigfrancis21:
I'm glad you mentioned Mandingo-fulani. Now Mandingos and Fulas are equally found in central africa, this african most likely must have come from central africa (congo) a

that's rather a stretch, dont you think?

^ there's no need to argue with you over your opinion?


i dont think anyone is disputing your ties to AA with you.

@ your other post.

My father was a troublesome student and therefore not one of the best. It wasn't a secret. We knew it.

Yet he would not hesitate to punish us if we dared to come just second in the class ranking.

It made us think very fast.

African parents, lolz.

bigfrancis21:
Who were the merchants of these fulani slaves? And where were they transported to?

To the best of my knolwedge, fulanis/hausas had very little presence in the transatlantic slave trade.

where else would be recorded as their destination but america?

the merchants were both nigerian and non nigerian tribes, as mentioned before.

a quick search (not even a detailed one), shows the first black newspaper in the US was started by a descendant of a mandingo-fulani enslaved African.

i dont know the name offhand.
