The Yoruba nation is more than 21 million people. Lagos alone has a population of 18 million people, which the Yoruba constitute more than 70% of the population. Are you saying Yoruba in Benin Republic,Togo and Diaspora are less than 5 million? Actually, the Yoruba nation is more than 60 million people.

mulattoclaro:
There's absolutely nothing spectacular about the Yorubas except the fact that they're chest beaters who lost their land to fulani herdsmen and are slaves to the northerners.

1. According to Yoruba mythology, all Yoruba people are descendants of Odua or Oduduwa. And today, there are over fifty individuals who claim kinship as descendants of Odua/Oduduwa.


This very first one is problematic.
Ododuwa cannot possibly be the progenitor of all Yoruba people. As convenient and fraternity-promoting as it might seem, it cannot be true.

Oduduwa lived less than 1000 years ago. Yoruba people have lived in SW 9ja for thousands of years. Whether they called themselves different names depending on local identity or not.

Odua brought a better integration and a slightly more centralised system through his sons that founded many dynasties or replaced existing local ones. Even then, most of those Kingdoms only nominally felt under Ife influence.

I descend from a ruling house that claims Odua as progenitor by the way.

You are welcome back from your incurable stupidity and unrefined idiocy which is in your DNA as evident in your progenitors who were not only brutalised, maimed and killed by the same Hausas/Fulanis who are your masters since Independence and continue to be your masters as long as they want. Remember, in real world except video games, you don't form an opposition against your Masters but that is exactly what Yoruba political elites and as a Nation has been doing over the years until we decided in 2015 to show you how to play the game without being ridiculed.

They-Hausas/Fulanis (mere school certificate holders) deputised your well educated progenitors in person of Nnamdi Azikiwe(as clueless as Badluck Jonathan) and of course one of the most useless and worthless VP of his time in Africa if not the whole world; Alex Ekwueme in what I called political show of shame.

IF YOU ARE NOT IMPORTANT, NO MATTER HOW TALL YOU ARE NOBODY NOTICE YOU WHEN YOU PASS. BUT IF YOU ARE HIGHLY INDISPENSABLE, NO MATTER HOW SHORT YOU ARE EVERYBODY NOTICE THE SLIGHTEST MOVE YOU MAKE. YORUBAS ARE HIGHLY INDISPENSABLE, THAT IS WHY THE HATERS WANT TO DIE. IF THEY LIKE LET THEM LOVE US, IF THEY LIKE LET THEM EXPONENTIAL THEIR HATRED FOR US. THEY ARE BORN TO HAVE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS ON YORUBA ISSUES, LET THEM CONTINUE HATING WHILE WITH CONTINUE MOVING AHEAD. I WOULD HAVE BEEN CRYING BY NOW IF IM NOT A YORUBA.

Anyway i repeat again, the only thing the Yorubas have over any region from the south is population, e nor pass like that. Their hatred for other tribes apart from their Northern masters is appalling to say the least.

You obviously missed it. Fine, there were people already in the west before Oodua came but they were more or less not organised. Simply put, they were bush men. But the emergence of Oodua brought political organisation to the Yoruba race as is evident that his children conquered other regions and ruled over them.

.....and yes, Oranmiyan was Oodua's son but since Oodua is from Benin, its same as saying an Edo son is ruling her people. The story of the Yorubas is similar to that of Lagos. The ancestor of the traditional rulers in Yoruba land is from Edo state. ( in person of Oodua)


the Edos rule Lagos. The ancestors of the traditional rulers in Lagos are Edo sons and do pay tribute to the Oba of Benin up to this day e.g Oba of Lagos

Oduduwa is the father of the Yorubas

[b]Na just population Yoruba get...... They are so tribalistic and obviously like to think of themselves as sophisticated but then they share that opinion among themselves only. For now they can stand firm with their Northern masters but when push comes to shove they will discover they're standing alone. The Yoruba's should be grateful to Fayose for standing his ground and not allowing them all to be sold to slavery entirely.

The 3 top public figures representing Yorubas---- Obasanjo, Tinubu and Oba Akiolu... While Tinubu is corruption personified and Oba Akiolu has a leaking mouth... Obasanjo is corrupt, has a leaking mouth and has destroyed his own family with his incestuous nature. How can a man sleep with his Son's wife

Anyway i repeat again, the only thing the Yorubas have over any region from the south is population, e nor pass like that. Their hatred for other tribes apart from their Northern masters is appalling to say the least.
