Infact if not for the coming of d British dat halted Hausa/Fulani expansionism, the entire yorubaland would have been knocking their heads on the ground to d moon god. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ElekeNtioba:Islam was not forced on us. We accepted the religion just as we accepted Christianity, yet our traditional religion is still active till date. Our language is still Yoruba. Do you know that our armies in the 19th century had Islam faithfuls fighting side by side with traditionalists? 3 Likes 2 Shares |

cosby02: Black Scorpion is from which tribe? Adekunle Fajuyi is from which tribe? Tell me about lack of courage then. I dont think a Yoruba would carry another man's issue on his head while dragging his on the floor. The article is somewhat true tho but I think of all tribes, a larger percentage of Yorubas count the costs before launching into foolish endeavours. I really like calm, educated Yorubas...awesome to be with. 11 Likes 1 Share |

daretodiffer: A lot of people need to read A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) books to realise that many times, tact will win a war where strength fails. A simple analogy is why a small man like Tyrion Lannister (despite all the people who want him dead) is still alive when strong men like the Mountain, Oberyn Martel, Kahl Drogo are dead. 99 times in 100, a wise man will survive a conflict where millions of strong men have lost their lives. A lot of Nigerians confuse tact with cowardice. 12 Likes 1 Share |

ElekeNtioba: The history books are your friends bro. When it comes to large scale wars or civil strive, the Yoruba has fought the longest and bitterest. We are not talking riots here. We are talking wars involving hundreds of thousands of people. I understand that our schools don't teach indigenous history that much so I won't blame you for probably not knowing about the internecine wars. The Yoruba also fought wars against other empires who pretty much were in charge of West Africa at some point in the past. There's even a monument somewhere in Yoruba land that signified the point where the different Yoruba sub groups came together to sign an agreement never to war again. Is it any wonder that the Yoruba as a group would rather go the peace route? Most times, wars do not resolve conflicts, agreements and concessions do. There is always a story behind a story. The Yoruba 'cowardice' of today has a story behind it; a story of self-preservation. History did not begin in 1914. 16 Likes 1 Share |

ElekeNtioba: So gani fawehinmi, kudirat abiola and all d activists dt made IBB resign and fought for our democracy in d face of armour tanks, several imprisonment & assasinations were dialouging & diplomacying abi. LMAO! You guys shld kp living in ur delusions, the rest of the world knows Nigerias REAL history. There are books and monuments in other countries, not just in Nigeria. I am yet to see an igbo man fight for anything and win. Pls give an example, we are all ears. The only thing i know abt igbo history is that they lived naked in forests and were slaves to d calabar pple before they were slaves to the white man. True story. 11 Likes 1 Share |

AnakinSkywalker: Easterners were not known in history to form societies. They prefer to live in isolation. The four major and popular cult groups in Nigerian institutions started from the west. Pirate Confraternity started from the University of Ibadan by Wole Soyinka Buccaneer Confraternity broke away from the Pirate confraternity also from the University of Ibadan Eye Confraternity carries a typical Yoruba name meaning "bird". Aiye/Ake/Axe also carries a Yoruba name. Can you tell us a major cult group that has its roots in the eastern part of the country and the year it started. Before all these cult groups, Yorubas used to have the Ogboni Local Confraternity and many more. "Ogun odun ti Aja ti n se ile Igbo ni obo yin wa" (decades after the dog has being a domesticated animal monkeys were still roaming the jungle) We have being there(wars and battles) and we've seen it all. It never settles anything. But only a fool will keep going to a war he can never win just to prove his "bravery". 13 Likes 1 Share |
