Zonefree:Totally off point. The governor of Kwara is a Yoruba man and there is only an Emir in Ilorin. Surrounded by 100s of Yoruba Obas in Kwara. Infact, the emir of ilorin has been Yorubanized. The only thing attaching him to Sokoto is the emir title and ceremonial dressing. He can't speak fula. The official language in the palace is Yoruba. |

This is the same thing Yorubas are pushing against in the SW. Some unscrupulous elements are trying to create an hybrid of Yoruba and a certain expansionist tribe in the south.

This is beyond madness. The persistent attempts by certain individuals to insert the Igbo identity into Yoruba history are not just misleading—they are disgraceful and, frankly, sinister. A warning bell was rung decades ago. In a letter published in the Times Literary Supplement on 24 October 1975, D.A.N. Jones foresaw the confusion that could arise from shifting the spelling of “Ibo” to “Igbo”(see attached). He specifically used the example of Ijebu-Igbo to illustrate how such a change could distort geographical and historical understanding. What Jones could not have anticipated was the emergence of mischievous revisionists like @ChurchillNwagwu, whose objective seems less about historical clarity and more about historical colonization. Here are the facts. Up until the mid-1970s, "Ibo" was the most commonly used spelling in literature and documentation. While variants such as "Igbo," "Heboe," and "Eboe" appear in texts, "Ibo" dominated most records. Regardless of spelling, the term was coined outside the present-day Igbo region. It was a label applied externally, mainly by slavers and slave traders. The earliest written reference to the name dates back to 1627, when Spanish priest Alonso de Sandoval used it in a list describing “a group of forty to fifty independent villages who recognized no king, fought regularly, often sold their women and children as slaves, and were all cannibals.” In several Niger Delta dialects, “Igbo” meant “slave,” and even among communities west of the River Niger, the term carried a similar derogatory connotation. Because of its pejorative foreign origin, the term was rarely adopted as an ethnic self-identifier until much later. It was often used to describe “others,” “strangers,” or “slaves.” In Onitsha, for example, the term was commonly applied to people from the interior with a connotation of 'backwardness'. Even Nnamdi Azikiwe, in his 1930 article Fragments of Onitsha History, used “Igbo” to refer to neighboring tribes. It was only in the 20th century, with the rise of pan-ethnic consciousness, that the term was retroactively enriched with ethnic content to describe a unified Igbo identity. In contrast, Yoruba history is well documented and internally consistent. As a group, the Yoruba had limited with the Igbo until the 1930s. Yet, in recent times, we are seeing audacious attempts by some Igbo writers to claim ancestral links to Ife, the spiritual home of the Yoruba. Entire books, authored even by PhD holders, have been written to justify this fantasy, often citing a single recent royal gaffe as their “evidence.” But the historical record contradicts them. The Ugbo people, whose name is often misappropriated in these narratives, still exist and are indisputably Yoruba. Their oral traditions and the Ife creation myth corroborate each other, firmly rooting them in Yoruba cosmology. Moreover, Yoruba towns like Ijebu-Igbo, Igbo-Ora, and others being claimed by these revisionists predate any known use of “Igbo” as an ethnic identifier in southeastern Nigeria. These are towns with rich, established histories, well before any collective identity known as “Igbo” emerged in its current form. This rewriting of history is not only intellectually dishonest - it is an act of cultural theft. To impose a fabricated narrative on Yoruba heritage in the name of “shared ancestry” or “common identity” is to erase the real histories of real peoples. And we will continue to resist all such attempt. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Freetech:Yup. When he was Governor, he did say education wasn't for the poor. Below are also pictures from a school in Anambra, but their former governor who built no school has traveled 100s of km away from home to donate money and school supplies to others because of vote they won't still give him ![]() 3 Likes |

Yet today, i saw a video on twitter of Anambra kids begging on the street of Lagos. There were another set from Enugu also begging. They all moved to Lagos recently to beg on the street and likely commit criminal activities at night. Charity begins from outside for Peter Obi. 3 Likes |
