[size=15pt]We know you're proud of your Islam but let the truth be told.
Let's not make unrecorded claims, 'influx' of the religion began with Afonja, the war with Oyo and his death. All of these combined opened up Yoruba land to Islam.
The fact that Yoruba had contact with Muslim via trade etc cannot be disputed but the key point here is when Yoruba became proselytes massively.[/size]

You are just regurgitating the same story repeated over time. It is like saying it was Julius Ceasar that showed Egypt to the Ancient Romans.

#Ridiculous

The exchanges between Yoruba, Nupe and Fulani predates Afonja. Where did the cavalry of the old Oyo empire get their fine horses from?

Okiki_Oluwa: Proudly Yoruba, Omo Odua pombele!
But Op, why did you put Oyo as the origin of Yoruba race? It's Ile-Ife in Osun State.

its because osun was carved out of oyo state...so i think he is historically right

Not quite correct.
Islam made its way into yoruba land through commerce. It was the same way christianity came into Nigeria. First by commerce. Later war, annexation and colonisation.
The commerce with the fulanis included slave trade that ended up in Arab land.

lie.....

islam came to Yoruba by invasion, undisputable

Same way you're recycling same point.
The question now is, despite these trades and exchanges did the Yorubas convert to islam in major 'quantity'?

P.S: it is cavalry sir.

Oh Ok sir, can I ask why you have decided to single me out? I'm more Yoruba than you, that I'm sure of.

FYI: I'm from Ife, gerrit?

Our culture is unique. Our numeral is the only that has addition and subtraction. For example, 22: meji le logun. 18: meji din logun.

Orikinla:

Before Oduduwa arrived Ile Ife, there was Ifa and he met Yorubas there.
Olodumare is the father of the Yorubas and not Oduduwa.
True....IFA tells us that oduduwa met obatala in ife.

Oduduwa, the famous father of the Yoruba Nation
overthrew Obatala in Ile-Ife and Obatala went into
exile in Ilofi, a place still in existence for tourists in
Ile-Ife now. Oduduwa reigned as the Olufe (the
Head of Ife[Yorubas]) Oduduwa had only Okanbi
who also had seven children among which are
Olowu of Owu, Orangun of Ila, etc and the famous Oranmiyan the Ruler of
Benin Kingdom and founder of Oyo Empire. Upon
the demise of Oduduwa, Obatala came back to Ile-
Ife and reigned as the second Olufe because all
Oduduwa's grandchildren had gone to establish
their own kingdoms. Upon his(Obatala)death, some
of his children contested the throne after him, they
are OLAOSA ALADIKUN a.k.a Akogun Erujeje,
Obalufon Alayemore among others. Of all these
contestants,Obalufon Alayemore succeeded their
father and others had to go establish their own
kingdom.
Olaosa Aladikun consulted Ifa for prophesy of his
exodus, he was directed to establish a kingdom
wherever he saw plenty weaver birds on a tree with
mushroom underneath. Couched in Yoruba
Language, 'ibi ti olu ati eye eega fon si' 'where
mushroom and weaver birds spread' thus we have
the short name 'Olu fon', 'mushroom spread'
which is now the Title of the King of Ifon i.e. the
Olufon of Ifon. Ifon can be simply interpreted as
'The Spread'.

You are too slow to realize I'm trying to make sure ppl on here don't go sharing wrong history? Between its absurb to ask me where in Ife I'm from. If you're not from Ife then whatever family compound I mention would make no meaning to you.
From your post history it appears you're on the prowl for ibos, you have the wrong person.
Keep it moving bruh.
