SOME MODs here are highly manipulative....they deleted my post and put theirs.. Here...low memory has refused the pix to upload.. People just throwing jabs and counter jabs.. First of all..find out what a city state is or was as of that time... Nothing said here was a wrong information. First Anglican Church in Nigeria is St.Stephens in Ibani territory of Bonny before Opobo left Bonny to Opobo. 9 Likes 3 Shares

peleson1: Please don't come on a public forum and brazenly make outlandishly false claims. Even if the purported school was founded in 1899 which I know is most likely false,there is no way it can be first in anything when even 20 years before 1899 a Sapara Williams had already been called to the English bar and some Nigerans Chief Ajasa,Q.C a signatory for the Lagos Colony with the British was already educated folk, the likes of Dr. JC Vaughan were getting ready to go overseas to study medicine, the likes of Pharm. TKE Phillips had started thinking of a career in Pharmacy and some years later opened the first Pharmacy in Lagos. Let me not mention the likes of Herbert Macaulay, Henry Carr, Da Rocha, Bishop Ajayi Crowther, Shitta-Bey, Revd Ransome-Kuti etc who had covered some milestones around that time. Please try and read wide. 85 Likes 8 Shares

BKayy:Hahaha. this can never be Ijebu. And Ijebu is not Lagos. Go to Ijebu, go and see Chief Adeola Odutola colonial majestic castle like building still standing and well maintained till date. Two things you can not associate with the Yoruba; unclothedness and Cannibalism. Yoruba don't have a history of walking naked and cannibalism. And here is why; the Yoruba have centuries old cloth weaving technology called Ofi or Asooke and the yoruba have always had food in abundance because there is abundance of water bodies and land. That is why the Yoruba are not land locked and barren. Those two are never part of Yoruba culture. 71 Likes 11 Shares

[quote author=BKayy post=110128866][/quote] At least you agree that unclothedness has never been part of Yoruba unclothedness and cannibalism are never part of Yoruba culture. As regards late Chief Odutola, his estate and legacies including one of the old elitist secondary schools called Adeola Odutola College,Ijebu Ode, is still standing till date. His castle was completed in 1939 and this was decades after the picture of the old Alafin. https://theinfong.com/2020/02/the-majestic-castle-built-by-late-yoruba-billionaire-adeola-odutola-queen-elizabeth-reportedly-spent-a-night-in-this-edifice-photos/amp/ Thank you for the old picture of the Alaafin and his Olori in authentic handwoven aso ofi. Yoruba do not go naked or eat human flesh. Let me not promote this thread of falsehood that has started derailing into unintelligent and obscene ethnic bashing by posting here again. Thank you for your time sir. 33 Likes 7 Shares

FreeStuffsNG:No need to worry yourself. Ade whatever you call him was born in 1902 and Sir Louis Ojukwu was born 1909. So both are mates and hit their prime at the same generation but Sir Loius Ojukwu was the richest at that age, time and Generation. I hope you get where I am driving at. Whatever Ade... built can never match that of Sir Loius Ojukwu of the same Generation. No need to post pictures 32 Likes 3 Shares |

FreeStuffsNG:This speaks of how low you know Yoruba culture. I've already posted one of your pictures. You Yorubas don't actually have any indigenous cloth. What you call Aso Oké is Fulani material imposed on Ilorin Yorubas which later spread to encompass Oyo. As for Cannibalism, you might need to explain what happened at Oyo during Endsars or the case of Owolabi, his mother and his girlfriends heart or that of your ancient Ogboni cult 18 Likes 1 Share |

BKayy:Those are not Yoruba women. Yoruba women cannot be found unclothed like ibo women whose pictorial evidences are replete with unclothedness. Moreover, no Yoruba woman sat on a kind of royal stool back in the day. It is sacrilege that Yoruba women take a seat in a royal posturing with bead-like ornaments around their neck. 51 Likes 8 Shares |

PressMyButton:As expected of Afonjas at the emboldened, you have denied them immediately. Those pictures are actually recent (colonial-wise) and are one of the fairest I can use so that some people can sleep without nightmares today. My dear, in as much as you are an Afonja, there are things you don't need to deny/betray because you can't push it to another person. Just look at the women, their facial look and characteristic ugliness (if I may use the word) is typical of Afonjas 25 Likes 1 Share |

BKayy:If Aso oke was fulani material, can you tell us what the material is called in fulfude?. Can you also explain why such fabrics are not found among the fulanis. After all, You can only give what you have. If Aso oke is to the fulanis, can you show us a pix of a fulani adorned in Aso oke attire? And as for Cannibalism.. Pls you can't change the narratives. You guys are genetically flesh eaters from prehistory. 44 Likes 10 Shares |
