Some of you people are dumb beyond redemption

Niger state is a multi-ethnic entity , while yoruba and Igbo are specific ethnic groups

In that Niger state, you will wind Bariba/Borgu, Gbagyi, Nupe, Kamuku, Kakanda, Kamberi, Kadara, Bokobaru and Bussa. Each owning their own part of the state.
If you want to compare tribes compare tribe to tribe, not comparing states to tribe.

When it comes to landmass in Nigeria, Yoruba are number 2, Kanuri are number 3 while 4th should be between Nupe, Gbagyi, Igbos and Tivs.

The truth is even that there is more than enough land for cattle farming in Yorubaland, we have thousands of kms of land that are fallow in the SW, but FULANI will NEVER get a square inch of that land registered to their name. That BS is a ploy to indigenize Fulanis to every 36 state of Nigeria, and will be the biggest existential blunder and ethnic group that ratifies it in the South will make in their lives.

mamdanju:
PPalale in hausa means Rock that is very hard to break. Ask the hausa well diggers what it is and they will confirm to you what I said. Youre right, I am not strictly a hausa but babarbare (kanuri) but since we were born in Lokoja we grew up speaking hausa.

Kanuris speaking Hausa is hardly anything new... Even Kanuris born in Borno speak Hausa.. so?
Kanuris have since fallen in line and kept shut following the Hausa-Fulani Hegemony of Northern Nigeria like the humble third-wheelers they are.

When did Palale become Felele...lol. Yorubas do not have a problem with the mixing up of P and F unlike the Hausas, so if the original name the Owooros met there was Palale, there is no way on earth they would have modified it to something Felele. The worst you would get would be Kpalale.
The truth is that even the Nupe and her derivatives like the Bassa-Nges and the Kakandas far outnumber the Hausas in Lokoja, but many do speak Hausa and wanna appear to be Hausas.
Other than that, what exactly is the Hausa claim to the foundation of Lokoja as a town? everyone knows that Hausas in Lokoja are the Late comers, why are you trying to twist facts over on its head?

Yoruba muslims will not finish us in SW ooooo
Just see what they are allowing amongst us...!

I read the write up and seriously felt so disheartened.. I am sure they must have been hailing the sultan while he was saying all that bs!

I understand your point, but anyone really interested in promoting Yoruba or Ibo or Hausa culture or language, should make his own movie. If my focus as a businessman is to make money, i can even make a movie where they are speaking Yoruba and Spanish! Mind you many Yoruba movies have Ibo and Benin actors like Regina Chukwu and Mercy Aigbe. The freedom of capitalism should never be sacrificed on the altar of "lets promote our culture ". Thats a job for the Ogun State Ministry of Culture and Tourism or the Federal counterpart or maybe like you mentioned let the Yoruba Movies Board fund such a movie and pay actors well; not the "Egbon/Aunty please help me manage this 20k till we sell" mentality that pervades the Yoruba movie industry.

You are looking at this from the obtuse angle..lol

First, the fact that they are already speaking Yoruba in a supposed Yoruba movie shows that they WANT TO make the movie despite the non-existent or only marginal profit gains. You do know that many of them have the choice of making movies in English or joining English nollywood, right?
What is needed is just more regulation, every national, subnational or even ethnic movie board do some level of regulation on what can be or can not be churned out. But in Nigeria, they do nothing.... But of course that should not surprise anyone really, because this is a country that can't even enforce issues as serious as national borders talk less movie regulation.

I no fit laff.

Uyomeyouyo:


Thank you my brother!

The use of English in Yoruba films disgusts me silly!!

The Adeoti brothers (producers) are behind this useless concept!!!

If you want to make an English movie, just go ahead and make one. I hate seeing regular Yoruba artists blowing English. I am like, wtf

Even Babalawo now speaks English in Yoruba movies...

Bullllshiiiit!!!

It makes my body crawl honestly speaking, I am not making this up.
They speak English in between Yoruba lines even MORE than they do in real life, because they are of the warped opinion that it makes them look less local.... So in most instances, it is even a deliberate effort in places where such BS is not needed.

Someone needs to seriously talk some sense into the heads of Yoruba movie producers.

The same type, breed and group of Nigerians that cross the border at Seme, Idi Iroko, and Ajarra on to places like Togo and Ghana to commit crimes over there are also the same ones disturbing us over here.

babzo:


But 90 to 99% % of Yoruba people speak both languages at the same time in every day conversations? Aren't movies a reflection of real life?
Expect a movie is based on an historical event like the movie Odua, that wont change anytime soon.

No, sometimes movies can be a deliberate force for good, correcting the wrongs of society.
They have a Yoruba movies board, they need to start screening movies with less than 80% Yoruba language content. So many language regulatory boards across the world do it, including French, German and even Hindi.

Is it only that? You are not even touching on the real/cogent points.

How about their horrible code-mixing between 60% English and 40% Half baked Yoruba that they call discussions in Yoruba?

They may think that it makes them sound "posh", but seriously, it is disgusting!

Why would I go the length of watching a movie in Yoruba only to hear them speaking English half the time when english nollywood or even America's hollywood is there for me to watch if I wanted 'spren spren' English grammar?
Yoruba actors of the 90s and early 2000's to mid 2010s were waay better in their Yoruba language diction and knowledge including in mannerisms and traditions. What we have these days are just mass produced trash that do not last 1 month in popularity before fading out into oblivion.

When was the last time the Yoruba movie industry produced a movie the quality of Saworo-Ide, Maami, Oleku, Ti Oluwa n'ile, Sango, Magun, Efunsetan Aniwura, Eku Ida, Ayo ni mo fe, Ogbori Elemosho, Agogo Eewo, Kodun kopo Kope (KKK), Irapada; and those old Yoruba movies with epic village settings, 100% indigenous costumes and beautiful sounding Yoruba.

Everything in this generation just seems to be going downhill. Even the movies. Don't even go to music. .. Like seriously, how hard can it be?

OMG did Nairaland just crash for 10 minutes? couldn't post for more than 15 minutes straight, smh.

Lol “Teachers from various secondary schools across Anambra and Imo states”..

I think a pattern is begining to emerge that states in this region are a bunch of chronic cheaters.. smh!

Some of these people are white. They probably have some Yoruba ancestry generations past. I also suspect that some outsiders may have joined in the worship.

Most so called "White" people in Brazil would be at lest 7-10% Black if they went for a DNA test.

And take Ur time to verify

so what is the difference between what is in the article and what I posted.

You said Ijaw and Itsekiri produce the same amount, which I am telling you that the Itsekiris produce more.
I said
Itsekiri areas produce 30% of oil + their areas host more pipelines than the rest. Both onshore plus offshore and flow stations.
Ijaw 27%
Urhobo 22%
Isoko 12%
Ndokwa 9%.

The article (which is stale and not recent btw)
Itsekiri 29%
Ijaw 27%
Urhobo 22%
Isoko 14%
Ndokwa 8%

Figures will vary slightly year in year out, but the fact remains that Itsekiris produce more than Ijaws, unlike what was in your earlier claim.

bakar007:

Dey deceive itself
[s]Itsekiri land?? kindly check desopadec they contribute only 29% same as ijaws in Delta state , ijaws terrain in Niger Delta Nigeria produces over 65% in term on oil revenue in Nigeria.[/s]
Lagos port would be useless without the Crude product coming through it and oppressive federal policies to marginalized Niger Delta by having crude vessel come through Lagos.note that
Ondo oil is within orogbo ijaws and illeje terrain and it's not much , even my village odidi oml 42 produces more than Lagos

Itsekiri areas produce 30% of oil + their areas host more pipelines than the rest. Both onshore plus offshore and flow stations.
Ijaw 27%
Urhobo 22%
Isoko 12%
Ndokwa 9%.

U don't know ijaw terrine in warri south ABI u know GRA/NPA old port to ogbe ijon market , do Ur finding and comment again.

Ogbe Ijo is not in Warri South but in Warri SW.

In that list, the following are multi-ethnic
In Bayelsa:

Ogbia

In Delta:
Warri South west
Warri North
Warri South

In Ondo:
Ese Odo

Edo state:
Ovia South West (Benin majority)
Ovia North East (Benin majority)
Ikpoba Okha (Overwhelming Benin majority)

Akwa Ibom:
Eastern Obolo
Ibeno
The status of these two LGA's being actual Ijaw is even disputable to begin with.

Rivers state:
Port Harcourt
Abua-Odual

There ijaws terrine there check Ur facts in ikpoba okha , being minority doesnt make u non existing.
A few re multiplethic no doubt ,try to get Ur facts before coming back to comment

A few only?

Infact most of them are multi ethnic. All the three Warri LGA’s for example are multi ethnic.
And I don’t know of any Ijaw village in Warri south... which ia mostly Itsekiri and Urhobo.

It is completely false! Ora people are descendant from Bini and share common ancestors with the Binis
Ifon, ijagba,imoru etc all have edroid ancestry. Sobe is now part of Edo. We have told the people of Ijagba to start calling themselves edo. Specifically children of owan from Owan west LGA

I didn’t say Oras are not decended from Bini or Edo. Read my remarks properly and don’t start off by being super defensive over a simple issue.
I know Ora towns that still claim descent from Ife, but that is not the point.

Ifon omiima and Imoru are not Owan, they are Owos and Yoruba therefore...
All the villages in that area including Ute, Ikaro and Arimogija are Yorubas. Ijagba is the only village in Ondo state that can be successfully argued to be of Edo srock.

And they already call themselves Edo people anyway.

laudate:

Oga, you are relying on 1963 census figures instead of assessing the current situation on ground in those 2 states of Ekiti and Ondo. Nigeria's population has increased tremendously since then, and so have the demographics. The previous 12.3% quoted for the old Ondo province is no longer valid, based on today's reality.

First, I didn't even say muslims were 12.3% in Ekiti I said Mslm/Xtians were 20%/80% give or take~ which is more than fair and gives more than enough room for error, from what that data set suggests.
Secondly, I don't see any trend in Ekiti that would suggest otherwise.. i.e that between that time and now, muslims have tripled or rapidly accelerated in Ekiti while the cristians have diminished. From where? Christians are not converting to Islam en-masse in Ekiti. So, unless you are counting Ebira farmers as Ekiti indigenes (of which only a tiny revision would be required) I don't see anyway how.
Thirdly, I only posted the table because YOU asked to see it. You probably thought I was making it all up. Now I posted the table, you are recanting.

You keep saying the Muslims are more, but you aren't even quoting ANY figures nor showing any evidence to backup your claims other than words of mouth. I remember that thread that hit FP a while ago when that Ishaq Mumutola guy was spewing his usual religious supporter of APC garbage about Ekiti state, it was Ekiti people themselves that came there to set the records straight. One even went to the extent of saying that most Islamic families within Ekiti after serious scrutiny will in one way or the other be discovered to have some older origin from somewhere outside the state.
That might be untrue, but it just goes to show you what some Ekitis think about their state.

Oga, your estimate of 80% is erroneous. The population of Muslims in Ekiti is much higher than you quoted. Kindly post a link to your official population census figures, which places the Muslim population in Ekiti at 20% and states that Christians are 80%.

Here Sir/Ma.

I do not like talking about religiosity in Yorubaland because I see us all as one, but if you insist (and for the sake of argument)

[img]http:///65535/47945819521_43c554bc16_b.jpg[/img]

From these figures, you can probably even tall that the proportion of christians among the Ondos and Ekitis is +80% by now... because the traditionalists have been constantly dropping in favor of the Abrahamic religions. And in Ondo and Ekiti (and even in the west as a whole) that would of course be towards Xtianity and to a much lesser extent, to Islam.

There was no Ekiti then though but Only Ondo.
I will provide the figures when I have the time to dig for it.

Most of them were very talented, in fact more talented than most of the popular singers of now. But most of them went down under even though they hadn't reached their prime because they couldn't adapt.
