LEKAN LAWAL

Rip Legend💔
Mr Kayode Uaneroro died yesterday morning. He was the police officer who ARRESTED notorious armed robber Lawrence Anini in the late 1980s. Kayode was the commandant at the Mopol training school at Gwoza when it was suggested to then IGP that if they were serious about getting Anini, Kayode was to be detailed for the task.

Standing at over six feet, dark and ripling with muscles with a no-nonsense visage, Kayode apart from being a crack Police detective also had a black belt in Karate. He had had many encounters with armed robbers and many had paid dearly. He was naturally the man to go after Anini who had become a kind of National ambarassment.

In a couple of weeks and acting on intelligence, Kayode and his ten man team of crack policemen working in m***i but heavily armed stormed into a Benin city house where Lawrence Anini was hiding. The latter wasn't expecting the Police. He was shot on his left ankle by Kayode and immobilized. That was the end of the reign of Lawrence Anini and the national embarrass

YORUBA: A NATION OF 26 TRIBES, A SHARED ANCESTRY

A nation is defined as a community of people bound together by a common language, history, ethnicity, culture, and, in many cases, a shared territory. The Yoruba people, also known historically as the Omoluàbí , form a distinct nation with deep historical and cultural roots traced back to Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of the Yoruba civilization.

Despite recent claims by some subgroups denying their Yoruba identity, historical and genealogical records confirm that they remain Yoruba by ancestry. Their origins, traditions, and cultural practices all point to a shared lineage that cannot be erased by modern political or social narratives.

The Yoruba nation consists of 26 distinct tribes, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Yoruba heritage:

Yoruba-Ife

Yoruba-Oyo

Yoruba-Igbomina

Yoruba-Ekiti

Yoruba-Owé

Yoruba-Òwòrò

Yoruba-Akoko

Yoruba-Ijesa

Yoruba-Owo

Yoruba-Akure

Yoruba-Ondo

Yoruba-Ikale

Yoruba-Ilaje

Yoruba-Egba

Yoruba-Ijebu

Yoruba-Awori

Yoruba-Yewa

Yoruba-Ohori (Benin Republic)

Yoruba-Onko

Yoruba-Remo

Yoruba-Ife or Ana (Togo)

Yoruba-Itsekiri

Yoruba-Ibarapa

Additionally, major Yoruba urban centers such as Lagos, Ibadan, and Ilorin are melting pots of multiple Yoruba tribes:

Lagos – A combination of Awori, Ijebu, Remo, Egba, and Yewa tribes.

Ibadan – A combination of Oyo, Ijebu, Egba, Remo, and Yewa tribes.

Ilorin – A combination of Oyo, Igbomina, Ekiti, Oworo, and Owe tribes.

The Yoruba identity is not just about language or geography—it is about shared ancestry, traditions, and a legacy that has stood the test of time. The attempt by some groups to sever themselves from this rich heritage is a modern construct that does not align with historical reality. The Yoruba nation, with its diverse yet unified cultural landscape, remains a force to be reckoned with in African history.
