Biodun556:



The sources you are attaching are wrong assertion of some people.

History is not pleasant to hear, but when people bring up such conversations. They must be ready to hear hard truths.

Christistruth02:


The Ife and Ekiti have been bringing up a point that if Oyo hadn't got mixed up in the Slave Trade with the Fulani in the first place they wouldn't have been able to have invade Yorubaland because they wouldn't have found the space or chance to do all they did

Oyo enslaved smaller western Yoruba towns and villages under it's control and became very rich. The fulani were the middlemen.

After fall of oyo, the oyos themselves became enslaved by the fulanis. Ajayi crowther and his family were enslaved by fulanis. Ajayi crowther's grandfather was even an Alaafin! Alaafin Abiodun to be precise.

Sheuns:


Kiriji war was between the Ekiti-parapo and Oyo and Ibadan. Ibadan was the war machine of the Old Oyo empire. Oyo did not fall to the Fulanis.

Oyo and the entire South western part of Nigeria fell to the British after the 16 years of the Kiriji war.

I Fixed the Oyo vs Fulani.

Oyo fell in 1835.

DeLaRue:
Nonsense.

The people of Ondo and I guess Ekiti have zero link to Oyo.

Most trace their origin to Ile Ife.

Their Kings accept the Ooni's status. Not Alaafin.

Also, you can’t force yourself to be THE leader. Most Yoruba Kings and people see the Ooni as occupying a uniquely special position.

Ooni is THE leader. Alaafin is A leader, but not on the same pedestal.

💯

Slytiger:

Oyo had his own army. You are mixing eras up.
Some of the armies, relocated to Ibadan after the fall of Oyo, and became independent. Ogedenbe, a war general, trained at Ibadan but was never part of old Oyo army.

As per kiriji war. Not only Oyo and Ibadan. It was badically a western vs eastern Yoruba war.

💯

helinues:


Abi, we are not living in the colonial era.

Oyo king is for the Oyo people, Ijebu king is for the Ijebu, oni of Life is for Osun people.

The time of lording over others expired long time

100 percent.
Even in the same Oyo state. The Oyo state house of assembly has now ed a bill for the chairmanship of the Oyo council of traditional rulers to be rotated among Ibadan, Ogbomosho, and Oyo.

Obi explained to his audience that what appears to be an internal crisis in the two dominant opposition political parties – the Labour Party and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) – has the government’s imprint written all over them.

Obi is indeed a boy that blames his failures on others.
So his jumping from APGA to PDP to LP also has government imprint written all over them. Lol.

illicit:
Well I am from Ekiti, I don't have any tie with Oyo or ife at least not in my last 4 generations...

From my Oriki

My fathers has been staying on that piece of land for a long time my family own a quarter of their town, infact it was on our land that whole town comes to fetch water

All these are in my family panegyric

I believe we are Aboriginal Ekitis


I am closely related to Ileshas and Akure's and as you can see, the oldest existence of human habitation is the cave in Iwo Eleru near Oba ile, Akure


My people are from that axis, we never lived d in Ife or Oyo at anytime

Yes. There are aboriginal Ekitis. Ekitis, Ondo and Ife are very ancient.

Infact, orunmila is from Ekiti and went to Ife (The Lagos of that Era) to ply his trade which is IFA.

Biodun556:
If not for Oyo, the whole Yoruba land would have been under Nupe or Fulani rule.

Oyo defended Yoruba land against invaders such as Dahomeh, Nupes and Fulanis. One Alaafin even died in the process. Oyo relocated it's settlements several times because of these wars. From Oyo Ile to Oyo katunga and then present Oyo.

Several wars were fought by Oyo to prevent incursions into Yoruba land from the north.

The groups known as Yorubas today were brought together and named by Oyo. Although, Yorubas speak the same language, they were from Ife; the same ancestral home but never had known common name.

Historically, Oranmiyan became Alaafin in Ife before moving to Oyo.

While Ooni is the father, Alaafin is the leader of all the kings.

Ibadan defended Yoruba - Battle of Oshogbo. Olubadan should be the Supreme head militarily which it was rightly in the larger part of the 1800s by installing ajele everywhere which eventually led to kiriji.

In 2025, the Oba of Lagos should now be the Supreme head since Lagos is now the economic power.

Ps: The group called Oruba/Orioba, now spelt Yoruba, in the Early times -1500 (Ife Era) were not the same as the group called Yoruba between 1600-1800 (Oyo Era). Oyo Empire did not include Ife/Ilesha, Ondo, Ekiti, and Ijebus.

The Group called Yoruba in the Oyo era are not the same as the group called Yorubas in the 1900 - present.

Oranmiyan also known as Odede, installed his son, Eweka, in Benin, installed his son, Ajaka, in Oyo and headed to Ife to become an Ooni himself. He left a son called Lajamisan in Ife who the 3, now 4 ruling houses in Ife descended from.

Amotekun is more effective than NPF

This politician had the opportunity to move the notion for:

“Biafra independence”,
“Referendum”,
“IPOB menace”,
“Halt to Sit-at-home”, but guess what?

His priority is for the Federal Government to wipe out an indigenous settlement in another people’s ancestral land.

Lol
Caught in the act.

Sibrah:
Who counted it? Funny people.

Sunday Times Rich List.

Cool

It's hypocrisy.

Good for him. I wish him the best.

This is trending all over social meda except on nairaland where one mod deleted this topic j wanted to comment on yesteray.

Maybe we have to call seun out in a tweet on X for his mods to stop deleting threads.

Agugbadin:
But why do Nigerians like to pull people down, they always propagate evil news

That is Peter Obi's speciality.

Lol

Indigenous lagosians have ronu. God bless them.

Okpa bloggers and lies are like 5 and 6.

The kids below are also Nigerians.

DMerciful:
IREV technical glitch against Obi
JAMB technical glitch against Igbos

Why always Igbos?

So what happened to Atiku that came 2nd. Why always Fulani?

Sharpsharp00123:
go to twitter n see Ibo calling it marginalisation

Igbos have already made ut so on twitter. From their Phd holders to their Okpa sellers. They are all crying tribalism.

Racoon:
Is this really true! Medical doctors make una help confirm. Meanwhile, a common LGA counsellor is earning more than an average doctor. Even agbero like MC Oluomo is a big boy comparable to doctors. What a crude nation.

inoki247:


Yea that's why some people were on Strike for 9 months....

13 months actually.

Slytiger:
Adebayo Ogunlesi was there too.

Yes.
But then again, he is already a friend to Donald Trump amd has always been a part of Trump's business advisory team..
