Funjosh: Akokos are just like every other Yoruba sub-ethnic group. They speak general Yoruba and their local dialects. What's funny about Akokos is that each community/town has its own dialect. I as a Yoruba hear some of the dialect when they speak while I don't understand some. Some Akokos don't even underatand each other. For instance Ibaramu Akoko, no one understand them when they speak apart from a native of Ibaramu Akoko. I studied at FUTA and had some Akokos as friends. Let me invite one of them to show up. Ogbeni tolababa, your attention is needed here. Where is Prof Katsumoto nah? How I wish he could make contributions to the thread. What a lovely thread. |

superstar1: Loool. We can't disown missy89...she is supremely Yoruba. Don't worry I will put a proper gut in her belly and make her folks Yoruba loool. Yes, we don't need Edos. Even Edos have all kinds of groups within the same ethnic group. |

IlekeHD: Loool. I'm the Duke and supreme ruler of Epe and I rule over everyone lol. On a more serious note, I don't mess with owanbe Yoruba chics - only the exquisite and proper classy/exotic ones. And if I can't find the type that I like - I just stray to other places. Stress free life with varieties. I believe she's a DJ and most likely an hiphop head...that is 60% of the work out of the way. I will catch her slipping as a highly educated guy and turn her out once I'm done lol. Our first date would be somewhere in my old hood like I did to some posh Yoruba chic one time. I just told her I wanted to take her out. Picked her up, bought a few drinks I know she likes and boom, I took her to a park at my old stomping ground where I grew up in Peckham. The proper hood. Turned it into a picnic and started telling stories and showing her places. We were there for like 6hours and I didn't even know when she fell in love and started kissing a nyggah. True story. A nyggah has been in this game for too long - it made me an animal loool. |

ProfShymex:Tell me u hate ilorin people, listen to ur self, itsekiri because of their oil, are u telling me you'll chose itsekiri over ekiti because they will bring more money? Secondly kwara state was part of the west, now Noth central so they have no choice but to participate in everything going on in North, or do u want them to attend southwest governors forum ni, what about the okun people in kogi state, are they not yoruba too? |

How pro-yoruba are they? Who do you think they will prefer aligning with if autonomy were to be granted? 1 Like |

@Ilekehd You asked how we can improve on the educational system. I am aware of an alumni (set) group which came up with a way to harmonise the financial contributions and physical/moral efforts of classmates in Nigeria and the diaspora for effective performance and result. They started by setting up a joint bank account. It is managed by three people,two of whom are Chartered Accountants. The bank statements are made available by email to everyone as well as bank alerts through a WhatsApp group chat forum. The transparent bookkeeping system makes it easy for everyone to get along without grudges or fear of losses. Decisions are taken by majority votes on any issue. Discussions are mostly by email and WhatsApp to generate ideas and agree on projects and modalities. The diasporans had successfully constructed a building in the school and are now working with Naija based mates to work on a legacy project for the school. In addition, they are looking at a long term mentorship programme for the students and training/ facility support for the teachers. If many groups come up like this with the determination to succeed, we'll see drastic changes in Southwest schools. |

yemaldo: Loool. Sir, I'm sorry if you are offended by my post. I don't hate ya people. What I posited is based on personal observation and I'm just one person giving an opinion based on what I know (maybe myopic cos I have never interacted with the people from there like that)...not the opinion of Yoruba people. And my mentality is somewhat different cos I see everything from a prism where loyalty is non-negotiable and staying away from two-faced people and snakes is important at all times. Furthermore, I'm not saying ya people are snakes and two-faced but you lot still have the ghost of Afonja over ya heads. Then in modern Nigeria, it seems ya folks align with the emirate up North than they do with Yorubas, hence what I posited. I don't know everything and other back-stories - and I might be a tad ignorant. So don't take my post to heart. It is just an opinion by an inconsequential Yoruba guy - not the Yoruba opinion. Also, I wasn't talk about the whole Kwara. I was alluding to just Ilorin folks - Afonja's territory. As for the Yorubas in Kogi - I already alluded to how proud they are of their Yoruba roots despite being geopolitically in a different region in Nigeria. Again, sorry if my post was offensive. 1 Like |

Aareonakakanfo:1)ilorin comprises of 5 local govt (asa, moro, ilorin south, East and west) of all those local government you'll only see larger population of fulani in ilorin west, and what majority don't understand is that these people have been yorubanized, u can stay a whole year in ilorin west and you'll hardly see anyone speaking fulani,these people will call themselves fulani but cannot speak their language anymore, they eat amala like mad and even give themselves yoruba name(the emir included) u can ask anyone schooling in ilorin 2)aside from larger population of fulani from d west, the remaining 4 local govt are yoruba even majority of fulani in west can't speak their language 3)issue of emir of ilorin is not a shame ilorin people alone should face, it's a slap on yoruba race, afonja invited the fulani to fight for him after betraying Aladin and they almost finished oyo empire, from oyo Ile (no present on) ogbomoso etc but the Yoruba fought back and when the get to ilorin they stopped, tell my why, ilorin was very important to oyo empire back then(maybe you should get a copy of Rev Samuels history of yoruba) Afonja house in ilorin till date don't see eye to eye, they hate each other like mad, late govn Lawal tried to install a yoruba king in ilorin but he failed because d emir had people backing him from feds 3)if Nigeria divided today, do you think ogbomoso will be d boundary between west and North? I think the boundary will be in kogi state |
