Ewe and Ga people which is the largest tribe in Ghana, Togo and benin were actually part of Oyo, they even teach them in their schools that they are from Ile Ife.

Corn247:
Most of the developed cities found in the coastal areas in West Africa were actually occupied by people who identified as yoruba but many did not know.
Check out Benin, Ghana, Togo,Gambia, sierra Leone etc, They were also the Most influential in those countries.
I think the Yoruba in Nigeria are living below standard !

Most of the people staying in gulf of Guinea identify as yoruba.

No.

If the Yoruba in Nigeria has not excelled, this celebrated homecomings will not have been possible. The Oba of Benin who is Yoruba and a descendant of Oranmiyan, a Yoruba prince, few weeks ago, came to Yorubaland to receive tutorials on Yoruba history because, according to him, he wanted to learn at first hand, how the Randle Yoruba Cultural Centre operates. Same thing was why the Yoruba built Orun Oba Ado in Ile Ife too.

The Yoruba conceived and built that centre. Same thing with our universities etc. Our successes keep helping to pull them back home, not by force. These strategies are carefully planned and executed to help bring back our talents back home.

We can do better no doubt but the Yoruba are doing great.

If you go through how the Yoruba organized themselves after the annulment of June 12 and got back the Presidency, you will appreciate how truly sophisticated the Yoruba are.

Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, as a sitting President , went to Offa in Kwara state and declared that he is home and spoke in Yoruba. He identified himself as Yoruba but couldn't be as audacious as Stoneboy to declare he is a Nigerian. Which other tribe will have such clout. None.

vaxx:
former president mahama is never a nigerian, he is a northern Ghanaian ( damango) his father is even an MP in the fourth republic in Ghana. The mother too is also from the north .


The father actually married a nigerian woman Anyway ,not mahama mother . Therefore it makes sense to say mahama has Nigerian siblings as relation.

FreeStuffsNG:

You are right. He never declared that he is a Nigerian. He declared openly in Offa in Yoruba that he is at home. It's not even politically sound for him to say he is a Nigerian as a sitting Ghanaian President. He can only openly declare his root just like Obama did in Kenya. If he didn't make that declaration, most of us don't even know and it's interesting that he flew straight from Abuja to Offa with full paraphernalia of a sitting Ghanaian President. That's a big statement.

Since he left office, he has been involved in community events and activities in Offa

vaxx:
He is biologically a Ghanaian. He has a stepmother who is a nigerian yes but not his own direct parent . this isn't the case of Obama.

If he said he is at home , then the statement is mere meterphorical to honor her step mother I guess.

Corn247:


Very lame comeback, how can he claim he is from offa Just because his step Mom is from offa, that's too far na. The man himself said he is from offa, not just him even the former president of Benin said he is from ogun State

rinzaugustine:
Lol Agbado forcefully attaching and celebrating somebody from Ghana because they now admit and believe that Ghana is superior to Nigeria now..etc Same Agbado that detached themselves from other tribes in Nigeria..even ilorin …standing logic upside down…this is sad

FreeStuffsNG:
They are helping the economy,
educational and political development of Sierra Leone a lot by leveraging on their Yoruba roots here in Nigeria.

Saros , Popo Aguda, Creole etc are Yoruba families who first settled in Freetown after the abolition of slavery before finally returning home to Yorubaland in Lagos and Abeokuta prominently. https://www.google.com/url?q=https://journals.co.za/doi/pdf/10.10520/AJA00757640_77&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjO9u-bpLeDAxWbVUEAHdiEB84QFnoECAkQAg&usg=AOvVaw0gZtz9VZTGRvW-eviVVWBg

One of the descendants of such Yoruba families is Olayemi Cardoso, Nigeria's current Central Bank Governor and many captains of industry including the Tinubu family from which Nigeria's President hail from.

Asiwaju Tinubu in his famous Abeokuta "Emilokan" speech said it that he is from Abeokuta too and the delegates should not treat him differently from Prof Osinbajo. The Tinubu family and their area is a very prominent place in Abeokuta. Even the Alakijas too. This elite and wealthy successful Yoruba families are arguably the Yoruba's kept secret success formula.

Shout out to these Yoruba families;
