Oyecute - your question exposes you as lacking knowledge of history. Plus lacking knowledge how people and tribe of today were formed in the olden days. Do you know the meaning of Migration in History? Please go and do more research.

Also you gave yourself away as one of the young people in Yorubaland today, who'd been hoodwinked into believing that Yorubas were the same in the Olden day (say 1000 years ago) as you are today.

The reason is that you're were culturally brought up NOT to challenge historical stories rather regard them as SACROSANCT!

A Brief History of the Word YORUBA

It was Fulanis who described and calling the Oyo people "Y A R I B A" in the 16th Century, which was officially used by the Hausa-Fulani to identify Oyo people ONLY. In fact, the word 'Y A R I B A" was applied to the OYO PEOPLE only when a TREATY was written by a Songhai scholar, known as Ahmed Baba in the 16th Century

Then in the mid 19th Century, Samuel Ajayi Crowther began a propaganda by applying the word "YORUBA" which only the OYO were known by, to describe all the people and tribes who spoke languages related to Oyo as YORUBA. It's like calling all the people of the core north HAUSA!

The truth: In present day Yorubaland, many of you calling yourself "Yoruba" today were not originally part of Oyo, nor migrated from them. For many of you, your forefathers migrated from Nupe. Igala, part of North Central, Dahomey, Togo etc over many, many Centuries ago. Some of the reasons for such migration were trading, marriages, war, famine, social attractions etc

Unfortunately, however over the last few decades, the word 'Yoruba' has been seized by Politicians and Rulers to exert cultural DOMINANCE, Economic control and Political Leadership over you all. This was the reason they discouraged you people from EXAMINING your past.

Oyecute don't be afraid to ask these questions:

"Who Are My Fathers?"

"Where Did My Fathers and Mothers Migrated From?"

If you are not Oyo (maybe Ekiti, Ijebu etc) and you willingly called yourself Yoruba and believed Oduduwa is your ancestor, then it can be described as UNFORTUNATE!

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

Have the yorubas started killing the ibos nw? You and I know the yorubas are too advance for such nefarious act but the share hatred that your brothers and sisters have for the average yoruba man knows no bound.and that is what is fueling all this . May I ask you who is that person or court that will make the oba of LAGOS face the music and even if it's successful Which I know it's not possible will you ibos be able to live in any Yoruba land again? I say Yoruba land Because it will no longer be a lagos fight but all Oduduwa children against the ibos.

You people should think very well before drumming for war you will be the ones to dance to it your sef cos yorubas don't start a war with anyone and they are never the last to leave the battle field.

If a goat stamps its hoof on the dust those it want to kill it's owner ni?

You don't own any land guy. All lands in nigeria belong to nigerians. Get a copy of the constitution and go though it. Every nigerian has the right to live anywhere in nigeria. And if your people are not comfortable with one nigeria like most of us are not, then you people should be man enough to support a dissolution of the fraud called nigeria.

So I pray the Oba is invited to answer for his unguarded utterances. And I pray too that he is charged for irresponsible behavior. In fact, I pray that he be dethroned so that you yorubas can start war.

We all need this war. But we continue to pretend and extend it for those unborn.

The Federal Government on Wednesday
said it took exception to some of the
terms of reference of the transition
committee set up by the President-elect,
Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

Minister of National Planning, Dr.
Abubakar Sulaiman, disclosed this at the
end of the weekly Federal Executive
Council meeting.
Sulaiman, who is the chairman of the
Technical Subcommittee of the outgoing
government’s transition committee, said
the council warned the incoming
government against running a parallel
government.
He said President Goodluck Jonathan’s
magnanimity should not be taken as a
sign or cowardice.

Sorry, I meant the ibos undecided

Alright.
Now let me tell you something. Such comment as the oba of lagos made was exactly what an oba in south Africa said and people started killing other people. We must not let that kind of thing happen in nigeria because the result would be catastrophic.

A person of that oba position must understand that whatever he says can be taken literally by some people with low mentality and start fighting and causing problems all over the place.

In fact if our government is proactive the oba was supposed to have been summoned and questioned so that such things don't repeat itself.

The things that usually led to war are little things like what that oba said.

So let him face the music so that all of will learn a lesson from it.

These people should go and rest, why re they full of themselves like this. Election has come and gone, then u re still licking the wound. Oba himself has apologized, what else do u want. If u like go to any length on this issue, nothing good will come out of it. We need to live in peace together hence the result may not be palatable cos yoruba will not fold their hand for aliens to molest them

Don't worry their would be no aliens and no molestations. They'll simply do away with mad king and install another simple.

Mind you, I heard he was not even the one in line to be king in the first place. So maybe the gods have come to take away their crown and give it to the rightful owner.

Politics / Another Approach To The South African Attacks By Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu by illiad1(m): 6:26am On Apr 29, 2015
By Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

THE destructive attacks in South Africa on Nigerians and other sub-Saharan Africans are tragic and mindlessly wrong. The assaults sorely bruise the objective of inter-African harmony. They also put an eraser to the idyll of progress and domestic tranquility many people saw when gazing at South Africa.
The xenophobia is actually a lethal show of misdirected anger. The attacks point to deep, underlying ruptures within the South African political economy that actually have little to do with the presence of Nigerian or other Black Africans in that nation. Nigerians have become scapegoats in a fundamentally domestic struggle.
The Black populace is roiling because their economic plight has worsened since the end of apartheid. If prosperity had come to them, they would not have come to this. The political and economic accommodation between the traditionally White-controlled economic superstructure and the post-Mandela Black political elite is under challenge.
This model of governance has failed to make adequate provision for the bulk of the Black population. Due to his unique status, Mandela was able to give the Black population succour and hope while counseling them patience.

That great man is no longer there. Gone with him is the succour he gave and apparently the patience of the people. South Africans thus lashed out in frustration. They attacked Nigerians and other Africans not so much because our people were the cause of their woes.
They attacked our people because they could do so much easier than they could attack the actual sources of their ire and economic predicament. It is easier to destroy the wares of the local shopkeeper than to change the political economy.
The former merely requires an eruption of anger; the latter requires sustained political organization, vision and dedication. Thus, although they want political economic reform, all they did was to attack non-South Africans who provided goods and services to them at the neighborhood level.

While the government of South Africa may be questioned about its continued adherence to a political economic model that appears to have exceeded its best-use date, it is completely wrong to say the South African government had even a hand in instigating the unrest.
Thus, recalling the Nigerian High Commissioner is inappropriate and counterproductive. Instead of pulling the diplomat, Nigeria should name a high-level special envoy to visit the nation and engage directly with President Zuma. Nigeria should also send an Interagency Coordinated Action Team (ICAT) to South Africa to complement enhance efforts to provide consular services, liaison with police and security and ensure that affected Nigerians receive proper restitution. We should also talk to major South Africa businesses resident in Nigeria. It would help douse tensions and ill will here if they announced a plan to contribute to the restitution of affected Nigerians.
No recall: Some observers have questioned the swiftness and efficiency of the South African government’s response to the mayhem. Such is their right to do so. However, the South African government did not cause the problem. They had no reason for it. To blame the government is to increase tension and confusion, not douse them.

Recall of an envoy is usually prompted by an adverse act by the host government itself. It is not good practice to recall a High Commissioner for a tragedy the host government could not have prevented and one for which its appears to be working in good faith to end.
The recent social upheaval should be likened more to a natural disaster as the government had no proximate control over its eruption. To recall our High Commissioner might satisfy our sense of outrage; it would do little else, however.
The move implicitly signals to the South African government that we blame it for causing the outburst or for being negligent in the aftermath. Such a move would make it harder to encourage the South African government to act as we would like toward affected Nigerians.
The move we diminish our presence is the more we diminish the daily pressure on the government in Pretoria. The move we diminish the pressure is the less we can positively influence that government’s action. Pulling our envoy decreases not increases our diplomatic leverage in this particular circumstance.

Also, much of the world and many Nigerians in South Africa will perceive the move negatively; they will think we are abandoning our citizens during the height of their travail.  This might demoralize them to a material degree.
The absence of the High Commissioner for an appreciable period of time will undermine the efficacy of our diplomatic mission at the moment when that mission should be doing its utmost for that segment of our Diaspora in South Africa.
Special envoy: A more constructive step would be to designate a presidential special envoy to liaise directly with President Zuma and appropriate cabinet-level officials in South Africa. The official should be a well known statesman preferably with a prior relationship with President Zuma. A former head of state or someone like former Commonwealth Secretary Anyaoku would be ideal for the position. This step would underscore Nigeria’s concerns for its citizens abroad. It would also signal to the South Africans that this episode cannot simply be left to fade into memory as has happened in the past. The envoy would press to ensure that adequate security is availed the Nigerian community to prevent further incidents this time of tension. The Envoy would also explore ways the Nigerian community can be better integrated and accepted in South Africa. Most importantly, he will press the South African government to improve its ability to ensure such things do not repeat themselves on such a large scale.

Adequate security
ICAT: Complementing the efforts of the special envoy would be a working level Inter-Agency Coordinating Emergency Team (ICAT). The ICAT would be comprised of police and other security officers who would liaise with South African counterparts at the operational level to ensure adequate security for the Nigerian community and that the authors of violence will be apprehended.
The team would also have a strong consular component. Nigeria should use this as an opportunity to reach out to the Nigerian community in South Africa to get a better idea of its numerical dimensions and the locations where that community is most concentrated.
A warden or communication system should be established within the community so that people can be quickly apprised of emergency situations or major events. A small legal team with experience in comparative criminal and civil law should be part of the team. On one hand, the lawyers would check to make sure those arrested are to be prosecuted. The lawyers should also investigate the proposals for restitution the South African government will make for affected Nigerians.

South African businesses in Nigeria: To douse tensions here and show goodwill, major firms in the South African business community here should be encouraged to develop a fund to restitute affected Nigerians. This fund should be contributed to the Nigerian government.
Conclusion: In such a circumstances, our policy approach should not be determined by anger. Our policy should be founded on a wise, dispassionate assessment of how to best protect our countrymen when they are imperiled. Recalling our top envoy does nothing to protect them. We must do better and more than just express anger.
The steps outlined above – Special Envoy, ICAT and South African Business Restitution Fund – are practical actions that can actually help our people and the South African government. Nigeria and South Africa are the two major sub-Saharan African economies.

We should attempt to work cooperatively to the extent possible, even in tense times. This show of cooperation and assistance serves our longer-term strategic interests. We should extend our hand of cooperation because that is in the best interests of our people in South Africa. If the South Africans rebuff these or similar overtures, then we can examine the need to call home our High Commissioner. However, recall should have been the last resort not the first one.
