Yoruba people shouldn't allow yibo medical personnel attend to them in southwest hospitals. Be careful eating in their restaurants. Be vigilant with yibo neighbors. Ire o!
“I don’t support Peter Obi because he’s Igbo like me. I support him because of his track record and my belief in his ability to improve Nigeria.”
— Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Me: where are those track records?
Like a scene from Fagunwa's Forest of a Thousands Daemons. That's after Oyo Empire and Yoruba civilization had spread to Dahomey, Benin, Asante and Songai.
Funny people. They celebrate their men marrying South African women. Call for party when their women marry Yoruba men. Why don't they celebrate the marriage amongst themselves?
If you’re not going to respect me, I wouldn’t reciprocate it. Multiethnic society calls for respects! Respect boundaries; both physical and cultural. Respect! Respect!! Respect!!!
@EsuElegba Ooni should redo what he did though. It’s quite unfortunate. And this should be stopped immediately. This is not the time to start online arguments, but to take far reaching actions. Write to Amazon, write to the president, all the govs and ministry of education. Legal steps too.
Yoruba history is under siege, not by ignorance, but by a calculated ethnic agenda.
A false claim is being pushed: that the Igbo people founded Ile-Ife and were later chased out by Oduduwa. It’s not on Facebook. It’s in school textbooks.
In Standard History Studies for JSS 1–3 by Tony Duru & Ijeoma Duru, allegedly approved by NERDC, students are being taught that Ife was originally occupied by Igbos until they were “invaded” by Oduduwa.
In The Igbo: People, History and Worldview by Dons Eze & Chinedu Ochinanwata, they go even further: claiming the Yoruba monarchy is built on Igbo spiritual systems, that Oduduwa overthrew a peaceful Igbo order, and that modern Ife is a hybrid of stolen identity.
This is not academic. This is an ethnic hijack of history.
Let it be said clearly:
Ile-Ife is the cradle of Yoruba civilization.
It was not founded by the Igbo.
It was not inherited.
It was not conquered.
And no amount of repackaged fiction will change that.
There is no archaeological, linguistic, cultural, or oral record, Yoruba or foreign, that supports this Igbo-conquest fantasy. What we have is a disturbing effort to reposition one ethnic group as the origin of another’s ancestral city. That is not scholarship. It is historical vandalism.
NERDC must be held to account.
Who approved this lie for Nigerian schools?
Where are the Yoruba historians in the review process?
Why is national history being rewritten to glorify one group at the expense of another?
If the roles were reversed, there would be protests.
We must not be polite about this.
Silence is complicity.
Yoruba elders, intellectuals, and cultural bodies must act now — before our children grow up believing that the sacred city of their ancestors was merely an outpost of Igbo migrants.
This isn’t a debate. It’s a line in the sand.
WE WILL NO LONGER ACCEPT THIS
