laudate: I believe you. Look at the Saraki family: Fulani grandfather, Yoruba mother, Yoruba wife, etc. You echoed modath's thought about Yorubas being too impartial ....... that's our downfall. Igbos want the Biafran interest, North have the Northern agenda, what do Yorubas want/have? |

Aareonakakanfo: That should be Awujale Ademuyewo Fidipote and the governor of Lagos in 1865. I believe the meeting was held in Epe. |

The fact is that most Yoruba from Kara prefer aligning with sw Yorubas more than any group/tribe in Nigeria. I have alot of Kwara Yoruba friends. I see no difference between we and them (just the geographical maps that distinct us. in fact, if I want to tease them or mock them, I will tell them they are from Northern part of of Nigeria. ![]() ![]() 3 Likes 1 Share |

IlekeHD: Well, as an outsider looking in...I don't think you should term it as a downfall. It is actually an asset. I see the Yorubas as being accommodating and cohesive. They may not always agree with each other on every single thing, but many of them are principled. I also see them as being objective, because they do not always follow the crowd blindly, or subscribe foolishly to one school of thought, if there are better alternatives available. God knows we need objectivity within and among ethnic groups, these days...so that we do not go astray. ![]() And despite what a lot of other folks think, a large number of their elders are not impressed by sudden wealth. They are still many of them who would question their kids if he suddenly came home with a fancy car: "Where did you get that thing from?? Who gave you the money??" And the questioning would be done with some very penetrating stares, and suspicious looks! ![]() What do Yorubas want?? Gee, that's a tough question for me to answer considering the fact that my links to your ethnic group are really bonds of friendship and maybe inter-marriage, as one of my first cousins is married to a wonderful Yoruba chic. ![]() But seriously, I would imagine that the Yorubas want what everyone else does - life, liberty, development, success and great achievement, in addition to the rights to determine their future and political advancement within Nigeria. Am sorry, but am probably not the right person to speak for the Yoruba concerning what they want! ![]() 5 Likes 1 Share |

IlekeHD: Lol. The Egba were the ones who finally succeeded in taking Christianity to Ijebuland. The went through Remo and once Christianity gained a foothold there - it went to other parts of Ijebuland. ![]() |

ProfShymex: Wouldn't surprise me if I find out that Aareonakakanfo is actually from Egba. The man sounds like a pastor and it's suspicious that he doesn't want to discuss religion with an atheist. The most frustrating I hear from my Yorubas people is "God will take control. leave it, don't worry about tomorrow". WTF? |

Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 6:10pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
IlekeHD: Lol. But Ijebu had a lot Muslims even when Christians were persecuted and they embraced Islam cos of trading, hence there are more Ijebu Muslims than Christians. However, I think they just never trusted white folks. The funniest thing is that the Ijebus were the first to have contacts with white people and started trading Ijebu clothes to them from like the 14th century or so. So why Islam was allowed before Christianity is still a mystery to me. Anyway, are you an atheist?...you sound like my boy. ![]() |

ProfShymex: Wow! I remember going to Dantokpa market (not sure if that is the right spelling!) in Cotonou with a friend. We got there and tried to buy some local stuff. I was completely clueless because I couldn't speak French. But thank God, my friend could speak fantastic Yoruba, (he is an Owo chap) and within a matter of minutes he was conversing freely with the traders and we got some really nice bargains. ![]() 1 Like |

ProfShymex: A while ago when NL debated historical facts and not beer parlor nonsense like Biafra, I learned that Islam came to Yorubaland before it spread to the North, but Yorubas were reluctant recipients of the religion. It was quickly absorbed by the North. So Ijebus are smart people after all lol. I think once I was able to decide, even though I was confused between personal decision and family obligations, I chose atheism. It took me a while to stand up for myself and what I want. It's hard to be an atheist in a Christian home, but my family tries to be tolerant. TRIES. |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 6:19pm On Oct 26, 2015 |
laudate: I believe two of Oduduwa's children - Ketu and Sabe - settled in present day Republic du Benin and Togo. So a sizable populations of those countries should be Yorubas. Then you have the Fon admixture...and since Fon folks were under Oyo for a long time - we'll always be cousins. 2 Likes |
