francizy:



Forget about the wars you guys fought. Forget olden days ish, even if Fela was the only brave man SW ever produced, I'd personally regard the whole of SW as fearless humans that dare even the devil himself (OBJ, IBB, Abacha, Buhari, etc.). Fela came, he saw and he conquered.

Btw, I think the SW has recorded the highest number of activists in Nigeria of which many of them stood for what they believed in even till they were executed by the military murderers.

The Yoruba's conquered kingdom as far as Ghana, and repelled jihadist from the North. What kingdom did your own tribe conquer?

Radoillo:
LOL.

I knew this Yoruba Muslim from my IT days at NBL. Once we (me and a bunch of other IT students) got talking about drinking and he joined in. I was a little surprised because he struck me as someone who took his faith seriously - his dad was an imam and he prayed regularly.

So I said, "You drink beer?"

He looked at me quizzically and went, "Yes, why? Do I look too young to drink?" I was even more surprised that he couldn't tell straight away that his religion was the reason I was surprised.

When I finally said, "But you're a Muslim", he went, "Oh...that. Mscheew..."

Yanks101:
And yet you were beaten black and blue by women from benin republic.
Repelled jihadists? Don't let the emir of kwara hear that.
There are no islamic heritage in my homeland. That is what it means to repel jihardists.

Setaje:
And before some idiots come to say they are cowards. Remember that before we became one Nigeria, yorubas have fought so many wars within themselves. War is never the answer to any question. Nothing as worthy as dialogue, diplomacy and respect of boundaries.

ElekeNtioba:


you repelled which jihadists?? your pple where traditionalists before the Sokoto cliphate started its land-grabbing southwards. Today half your population is muslim.

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.

You are right

Losing is the worst thing

Warriors are those who survive wars

If you rush into a fight, you will lose and you will end up dead

YourNemesis:


Just because majority of them do not support your Bifr*** struggle
Na by force?

ElekeNtioba:

ElekeNtioba:

daretodiffer:


And end up losing his land and its people

ElekeNtioba:


LMAO...which group in Nigeria has never experienced internal strife. is dat what should serve as a indication of bravery

How you respond in the face of aggression or attacks be it violence or civil disbodience is the criteria. Cowards perpetually hide under d toga dialogue and diplomacy even when they are redundant.

Aystarz:


Here we go with the Yeye chestbeating. Can you die for anyone ....as in right now?? Oh I thought so. It's all in the mind.

AnakinSkywalker:



Well we know they believe death is not an option in any confrontation.

A living dog is better than a dead lion. That is their philosopy.

Although now dem dey form cult and hard men after places like PH and Warri don dey abandon am finish.




While to some other tribes (like mine), death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man

"The saving grace in Nigeria's political split is the Yoruba. The tribe serves as a kind of political buffer, noisy but not explosive. As much as they relish escalating an inconsequential disagreement into a full-blown screaming match, the Yoruba are not stupid enough to die for man-made selfish political objectives. They were a most reluctant participant in the Biafra war - they managed to keep their economy buoyant whilst the more explosive tribes battled in vain to serve a few individuals misguided ambitions. Yorubas enjoy their beer, fine wine, cognac and champagne. Their motto which has guided their success in diplomacy, academia, politics and economics is...."Kini Big Deal"?
