And why are only the WHITES ruling them in Cuba as in almost all other Caribbean/ Latin American countries

because the whites there are the descendants of the slave masters who owned and ran the sugar plantations where africans worked fom sun up till sun down. These peoples descendants are the ruling class in all Carribean countries and they practice racism against the non white popilations that they rule over. Even in Jamaica that is 90 percent black ,mixed race , lebanese , indians and Chinese descendants are placed above black people in the social hierarchy

to some of my yoruba brothers who always argue that the alaafin is the most respected traditional ruler in yorubaland have you guys learn from this statement from the cuban ambassador?
Every Yoruba knows Oni is the spiritual head and Ife is the cradle of all yorubas but the fact remains that the Alafin is the political head and the former Old empire inspired the present political structure in yorubaland

White rules everywhere. Google the world slave trade and colonization. Its so simple.

Whites don't rule in India, China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and other Asian countries, or do they?
Why did the Asians not sell their fellow brothers and sisters to the whites massively as we did
Any ideas?

I have come to realize most Tribal Bigots on this Forum are people who have very low self esteem.. so for them to feel good about themselves they try to attack other tribes. #Real people understand the strength in our diversity. So u trying to attack another tribe wont get u away from your misery of low self esteem u still at the same spot. Better we all focus on our lives and develop our self to become better individuals. grin

The ambassador should not be causing fight between the Alaafin and the Ooni.

Just my two cents.
Alafin is nothing but a senseless greedy old foól

He deserves all the disregards and humiliations

Dirty old foól

It is true. Most Cubans are yoruba. I leant the Oba of Benin usually raid most yoruba land, take as many as possible people hostage and sell them to the Europeans. When slave trade was eventually abrogated, most of the people recently taken hostage and sold ,were all gathered in Cuba. Most freed slaves ,moSt of which are of yoruba descent, were also sent to Cuba. It is a sad story of oppression by a very powerful oba over a people without any powerful king.

Cuba is a hungry country, the ambassador must have been bribed with some amala to make this claim, theres no recorded history any where of the relationship between yoruba and cuba. They dont even have lassa fever in cuba.

Its high time we take the bull by the horn and diversify ASAP. Tourism is truly Nigeria's untapped natural resources but for that aspect to flourish we need to let the world know that the country is at least security conscious and the people are friendly. Also Sport is another avenue that can be tapped. Not all of us can play football we should channel our energy to other sports and with the right resources and motivations things would be better.
Countries like Norway who relys on Oil are now making moves to diversify, Nigeria should tow that line ASAP.

U are incredibly stupid. Its only fools like u DT will attempt to rewrite history. History DT has bn written in so many books, even by non Nigerians. I'm pretty sure ur not even a Bini man. A Bini man can never say his king sold slaves. He was d only king DT didn't sell slaves. The Alaafin of Oyo was d biggest owner of slaves in Nigeria, even before d whiteman came. He sold his pple to d whites and became increasingly greedy. This caused serious wars among all d Yoruba clans. The ekitis were fighting wt d rest of d empire. The egbas and ijebus put their mouth. Everybody was killing everybody. Some pple like efunroye tinubu (d rich slave merchant to d whites) got rich off of getting slaves out of displaced pples from d wars - d whites even named a square after her in lagos. It was bloody - d whites were scared after d abolition of d trade DT they wld get attacked. The slave trade in yorubaland is part of our bloody sad past. It was sthn we did to ourselves. No one else was involved. Its a different story wt d calabars DT captured Igbos from d bushes and sold them as slaves and then later arochukwu started selling them. All these stories are very well documented. Mr revisionist .

[quote author=bakynes post=43231173]
Don't even mind the iPob goat, when I was in England I had many Jamaican friends they always linked their ancestry to Ashante (present day Ghana) that's y a typical Jamaican is as dark skinned as a Ghanaian. This is not about tribal supremacy battle but the igbo race has no record of been great beyond the shores of Nigeria, they are relatively a very small tribe. Yoruba race extends to Benin,Togo, Cuba and even Brazil.[/q
uote]


Yes, you are quite correct. All, and I mean all, Jamaicans I interacted with in Manchester traced their descent to Ghana and always easily felt at home with Ghanaians.
Talking about the Yoruba in diaspora, they practise the same traditions as and even invite representative on as from yorubaland to their annual festivals in Brazil and Benin. Akaka music is even now more popular in Benin than in yorubaland.
Bless you bro.
