Mrs. Kuti was born 1900. How could she fought for something that existed before her?

Bold of you to believe an average Muslim Arab rate you above the Christian Arab. They don’t even hid their hatred for the blacks anyways.

I am first and foremost a Muslim. I am an adherent of Islam, an Abrahamic believer, and a Hanif before anything else. Only then am I Yorùbá.

To those who have made it their mission to question the loyalty of Yorùbá Muslims, you may continue your attacks. But know this: for a true Muslim, Islam will always come first. It precedes ethnicity, culture, and nationality because it is the primordial covenant with our Creator.

A Yorùbá Muslim is not conflicted in his identity. He was a Muslim in the divine decree long before he was conceived, and he entered the world as Yorùbá the day he was born to Yorùbá parents. These two identities are not rivals—they are perfectly compatible. One defines his eternal soul and purpose; the other shapes his language, culture, and earthly heritage. Both have their rightful place.

If any Yorùbá Muslim chooses, for whatever reason, to place ethnicity above Islam, then that person has failed to grasp the most fundamental principle of our faith: La ilaha illallah (there is no god but Allah), and nothing has precedence over Him. Such a person's reckoning is with Allah alone.

My identity is clear and unapologetic: Islam first. Always. Everything else follows in its proper order.

Now it’s time for historical reference you hurriedly jump on them.

If they had practiced the religion with so much extremism like you all are doing, Islam wouldn’t have survived Yorubaland this long.

We will all see how far Islam would last around here thou..

[Yummie 😋 @playp2201]

You people claim our forefathers weren’t Muslim enough before they didn’t the Arabic intonation like you all have now and call “Baba” Abu and “Iya” umu.

You claim they weren’t knowledgeable because they find a way to blend their Yorubaness into the religion they practice…

Putting the "Islam First or Yorùbá First" Question in Perspective

The question of whether a Yorùbá Muslim should be "Muslim first" or "Yorùbá first" is, in many respects, a very recent enquiry. It is not a question that historically occupied the minds of Yorùbá Muslims for centuries.

Islam has been present among the Yorùbá for a very long time. Some historians trace its presence in parts of Yorùbá land to many centuries ago, with others suggesting a history approaching a millennium. Throughout this long period, Yorùbá Muslims generally did not perceive a contradiction between their Islamic faith and their Yorùbá identity.

The reason is simple: Islam, as practised by the overwhelming majority of Yorùbá Muslims, did not seek to erase their language, ethnicity or cultural identity. Rather, Islam provided a religious framework through which they worshipped Allah while remaining fully Yorùbá in language, social organisation and many aspects of culture that did not conflict with Islamic teachings.

Indeed, one of the reasons Islam spread successfully across West Africa was its ability to coexist with local cultures while reforming practices that contradicted its core beliefs. Early converts did not cease to be Yorùbá, Hausa, Kanuri, Mandinka or Wolof because they embraced Islam. They remained who they were ethnically while adopting a new religious worldview.

This explains why Yorùbá Muslims traditionally carried both indigenous and Islamic names without feeling compelled to abandon one for the other. They spoke Yorùbá, celebrated Yorùbá history, participated in Yorùbá society and contributed immensely to Yorùbá civilisation while remaining committed Muslims. There was no perceived contest between the two identities because they occupied different spheres.

The question of comparison and competition between Islam and Yorùbá identity gained prominence only in more recent times, particularly with the rise of strands of Yorùbá nationalist and secessionist thought that seek to define Yorùbá identity in explicitly religious or spiritual terms.

For some proponents of these movements, the project extends beyond political self-determination into the revival of indigenous religious and spiritual systems as defining features of a future Yorùbá nation. In that context, Islam is sometimes viewed as a challenge because Muslims are religiously committed to rejecting forms of worship and spirituality that conflict with Islamic monotheism.

This disagreement is therefore not primarily about ethnicity. It is about theology.

A Yorùbá Muslim does not reject being Yorùbá because he is Muslim. He rejects religious beliefs and practices that Islam regards as incompatible with the worship of Allah alone. The same applies to Christians who reject aspects of traditional religion because of their own religious convictions.

Unfortunately, this theological disagreement is sometimes reframed as a conflict between Islam and Yorùbá identity itself. Such a framing is historically inaccurate and socially dangerous.

Islam is not foreign to Yorùbá land.

Muslims are not strangers in Yorùbá society.

Yorùbá Muslims are not obstacles to Yorùbá development.

They are indigenous sons and daughters of the soil whose ancestors have contributed to the growth of Yorùbá civilisation for centuries.

The real issue is not whether one can be both Muslim and Yorùbá. History has already answered that question in the affirmative.

The real issue is whether Yorùbá identity should be defined in a way that excludes millions of Yorùbá Muslims and Christians because they do not subscribe to a particular spiritual vision of Yorùbá nationalism.

When we correct misinformation on here they say we are doing too much. Some guy came on tiktok recently to say Igbos are indigenous to Yoruba land, a few handles called him a mad man and moved on.

Now look at what Google AI is saying and using as reference, it is clearly not just one mad man, people are making multiple posts and feeding AI.

Igbó means forest or bush in Yorùbá and has nothing to do with other ethnicities in Nigeria. AI is clearly important in discussions and a lot of people use grok to challenge others’ ideas.

If we don’t nip this in the bud and respect boundaries this could create rifts and future land struggle for coming generations. A word is enough for the wise.
