I have downloaded the book it makes for interesting reading. How Yoruba language became a written language is interesting. One word I found interesting is the origin of the word Ooni from Owoni itself a contraction of Omo oluwoni (son of a sacrificial victim) hope to hear what the Ifes will say in response 5 Likes |

Olu317: Thisis a matter of perspectives. Reminds me of Olugbo's stand on Moremi. Someone's hero is another's villain. According to a writer: History of nations is biography of certain men. And I dare to add, from writers point of view. 2 Likes |

LordAdam7: The Aro Confederacy has trading partners beyond the Igbo land. They sold millions of Igbos to the Ijaws and others. So they interacted beyond Igbo land. Apart from this, I think we are on the same page on the primitiveness of the Igbo people and lack of any history to be proud of. That was my point to the guy that I replied to. If you take time to follow the conversation, you will understand why I posted this 9 Likes |

naijalander: Ilorin being in the Northern region might be a proof that there was a special tie with Sokoto. Abdulsalami son of Alimi was given a flag from Gwandu (the western empire of the Sokoto Caliphate). According to research done by Abdullahi Smith, a one time Professor of History ABU n Director Arewa House Kaduna, there is a letter in Gwandu written in 1829 from the Emir of the West(Gwandu) to the Emir of the Yoruba(Ilorin) Abdulsalami 1 Like |

deji15: Maybe this would derail the thread, but can you prove that the languages you mentioned aside Igbo and Delta Igbo (again it is not a language) were the languages of the Aro confederacy? Let's start from there. -Lord |

LordAdam7: I believe the confusion is coming from the meanining of the word confederacy. How do you think the Aro's were able to sell millions of Igbos to the Ijaws and the Cross river allies without the presence and influence on the part of the Aro's? 1 Like |
Re: Yoruba Revolutionary War Chronicles. By Samuel Johnson by LordAdam7: 7:24pm On Dec 13, 2016 |
deji15: Are you saying influence is necessary for trade? Because I can call out a million examples to debunk that assertion. Or maybe, we should hold this discussion until naijalander is through with his posts. I'm anticipating his next post. -Lord |

1kinggy:True, you can express your view but considering all angle on physically and spiritually sound mind of AFONJA,who was a man who fought and died without running from his place of abode,what do you call him? A LION or FOX? My reason for this is that many have written ills about Yoruba as being Back stabbers which we are not. People have failed to look at the course of an issue but always look at the aftermath .Have some people asked why is it so easy to stay and live in peace in Yoruba towns and cities and it is not like so in some parts of the North? Posterity is always around to judge everyone. 2 Likes |

LordAdam7:It is up to you.. Nothing to debunk. Aro's were selling Igbos and cross river allies were buying (in the process, they intermingled), that is why they are part of the Aro Confederacy. 5 Likes |

deji15: Primitive and history-less because they did not fight senseless wars of conquest and did not try to extort money from weaker peoples in that brutal arrangement called 'states' and 'empires'? In your narrow sense of reasoning, 'history' only exists under imperialistic conditions abi? See yourself? 2 Likes |

This is highly educative, a great story on history. I have the book, but have not read it yet. However it is of high level stupidity and narrow mindedness for some to come here with tribal distractions. This thread looks too sophisticated for that, the richness in the history goes above all the useless abuse some fools are bringing, it is so beneath it. If you feel bad of the lack of a glorious past with your tribe, why cant you shut up and read/learn from this story of the people that have. 7 Likes |

Yes there is a letter. However it does not explicitly say 'come and be king over us at Ilorin' It was a call for help against the pagans bullying them. The flag symbolizes Sokoto overlordship over the muslims of Ilorin, not the pagans. tunene66: 2 Likes |

naijalander:are you sure they are pagan? I thought Yoruba had and still have a Deity called Eledumare /olodumare /Olorun. Do you call that paganism? A people that stood and fight Against Islamization of Yoruba land. Do you think it wasnt GOD that helped the Yoruba warriors who fought against Jihadist? Yoruba Race are not ordinary Race. If you understand spiritualism, you know what I mean. It wasn't ordinary they fought against themselves at first and again fought and won against the Jihadist 1839/1840. 5 Likes 2 Shares |
