Pweety008: The name Afonja comes from a Yoruba Chief/Warrior named Afonja. History has it that he had a quarrel with many Yoruba chieftains ,elders and leaders over rights and leadership title. From the quarrelling the other Yoruba chieftains were able to displace him. Out of anger and seeking revenge against his fellow Yoruba men he went into an agreement with Hausa and Fulani Warriors who were planning on invading ancient Yoruba Region now known as Kwara. He essentially betrayed his kinsmen and through his help and assistance because of Afonjas knowledge of the Yoruba terrain the Hausa and Fulani invaders were able to decisively defeat the Yoruba defenders in battle. Henceforth the name Afonja has been related to a person who is a traitor or betrayer. Someone who will stab you in the back or can not be trusted. Like Judas in the Bible. Even till today the effects are still being felt with Kwara being referred to as an Islamic territory by some people and that's why there is a large Hausa and Fulani population in Kwara. This is a rewriting of their original history and culture. Essentially an annexation. So if someone calls you an Afonja you know what they mean. 4 Likes |

My dad lived and had his early childhood /school in ghana and till tomorrow he will never agree with this list. He believe and made us believe that Ghanians speaks a better english than the Queen Elizabeth of England not knowing that queen will soon delist them from using english as official language. 1 Like |

Onyochejohn: You've got it the wrong way round. Read my notes above about what Afonja means. Afonja was fighting WITH the Hausa Fulani not against. |

isnovic: Na so safarigirl: But Ghanaians also have phonetic extremes like Pasta instead of Pastor. However, I know Nigeria is one country where you will see someone who has never stepped into an airplane speak Queen's English like he/she was born into the hands of the Queen of England. 2 Likes 1 Share |
