babyfaceafrica: South south has world class technocrats that merit the position of SGF in abundance. I never advocated for d appointment of a dunce frm south south as SGF. Five regions are now well represented at the federal level, so my call for the appointment of a south southerner as SGF is legitimate and in order. |

[b] Real identity
My mother is from Iseyin in Oyo State,
while my father is from Ilorin in Kwara
State. My great-great grandfather
originated from Mali and I am talking
about some 150 to 200 years ago. And
they are Fulani and that is where we got
our Fulani connection from. My great
grandfather settled in Ilorin preaching the
religion of Islam. A section of Ilorin came
from Gwandu and they were religious, but
my people came there as practising
Muslims from Mali with their own Quran.
In fact, the Emir and I used to joke that
we had our own Quran and that nobody
gave us Quran. My great-grandfather
brought our own Quran to Ilorin from Mali
to Agbaji where we settled. The Agbaji
quarters is about 200 to 300 years old.
Over the years, religious piety and
devotion have led the prohibition of
drumming (in whatever circumstance) in
the area.
But because of our connection with the
Southern people, a lot of Yoruba are
always in Ilorin and so we speak the
same language.
If you look at the Ilorin people, the real
Ilorin people like Saraki for example, the
culture and their ways share affinity with
those of the far Northern Nigeria. That
accounts for the difference you observe
between us and, particularly, people of
the South-West, despite the existence,
now, of Yoruba as a common language. I
leave people to say whatever they like
about me. Some people even say I am
from Ogun State and some even say I am
from Togo but I know where I am from.
Even, not long ago, I had a letter inviting
me to join in the formation of a Mali-
Fulani Organization and that I should be
its chairman.
What about your ancestral lineage?
People have accused you of bearing Alhaji
Abubakar Saraki when you needed votes
from the North, Chief Olusola Saraki when
you needed votes from the South-West
and in the South-East and South-South,
you answered Dr. Sola Saraki. How do
you reconcile these differences?
People are just reading political meanings
to my actions. My Islamic name is
Abubakar. When were growing up in
Lagos in those days, unless you were a
Christian or bore a native indigenous
name, you couldn’t get a school. If I
wanted to be admitted to a school, I had
to drop Abubakar in favour of Sola as
virtually all the schools belonged to
Christian organizations. It is not correct
that I was changing names to garner
votes. Politicians invent those kinds of
stories against their opponents. You,
yourself, should know who you are. [/b] |

Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by porka: 11:06pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
walexy30: Did you read the post above you? How do you determine someone's heritage for him? Bukola's father, Oloye Olusola Saraki, said they are Fulani from Mali. How does the sound of a name make a tribe? Is Rotimi Amaechi also Yoruba? Is Mustapha Chike-Obi a Hausa? What does Saraki mean in Yoruba by the way? |

Johntobi56:I was even amazed at most people saying Kwarans are not yoruba I can't imagine kwara people reading this and they won't laugh at you guys. Back to the matter it is the the zoning of the political sphere that made kwara state to fall under North Central but ethnically and historically Kwara belong to the Yoruba lineage and nothing can never ever change that not even the geo-political zone. This is a fact, I have kwarans as colleagues, even as inlaws and I believe we all have kwara indigenes around us you just walk up to anyone of them I tell them they are not from Yoruba heritage lolzz! I bet you won't like the kind of reply they will give to you immediately just because they hate it when people disassociate them from Yoruba Kingdom. This is a fact just ask any kwarans around you and you will know how far lolzz! 4 Likes |

Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by porka: 11:49pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
raumdeuter: Does it mean "important" or you assume it means "important" just because it sounds like "pataki". Or simply because Oloye himself was an important person and the name came to be associated with an "important personality". Which of the Yoruba dictionaries can you recommend Sir? How come it's only this family that is "known" with this "important" name? |
Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by porka: 11:52pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
Deluxii: Saraki family. Not Kwarans as a whole. Oloye himself said they are Fulani from Mali. You can't know him more than himself. |
Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by FreeGlobe(f): 11:54pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
Omololu007:stfu. bukola saraki is fulani. Kwara is ruled by an emir which is not part of yoruba culture and kwara is not in yorubaland. Stop your attachee by force. Saraki's presidency does not have any benefits for yorubaland |
Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by FreeGlobe(f): 11:58pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
Deluxii:Thrash, kwara is traditionally ruled by an emir. Kwara is not in yorubaland. saraki presidency does not have any special benefits for yorubaland which is south west |
Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by raumdeuter: 11:58pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
porka: Saraki doesn't sound same as Pataki One is do-do-mi the other is do-do-do I'm core Oyo and with deep understanding of Yoruba Saraki means important person like Gbajumo In a sentence: Gbogbo Awon Saraki ilu Ibadan lo pejo sibi igbeyawo Ojo ATI aina |
Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by porka: 12:06am On Jun 10, 2015 |
raumdeuter: Ok, fair enough! But, how did you come about your theory? You have not answered the questions still. It would be interesting to recommend any Yoruba dictionary. |

Re: Yusuf Sulaimon-Lasun Is Deputy Speaker House Of Representatives by raumdeuter: 12:09am On Jun 10, 2015 |
porka: That's an ignorant statement to make Oduduwa was from middle east, fani Kayode family are historically Tapa from Niger state. Before the Europeans came many people migrated and mingled with yorubas. Some people in Lagos island are historically Baribas, Brazilians. His ancestors migrated from Mali 200yrs ago doesn't stop him from being Yoruba 5 Likes |
