From A Guest Writer.
The Yoruba and Fulani
inhabitants of Ilorin, the present capital of Kwara State, Nigeria, have for so
long been at loggerheads over who should produce monarch for the town.
The Yoruba people in Ilorin
claimed that the throne should always have a Yoruba king on the seat and backed
this with historical references which point Yoruba ancestors as the founders of
Ilorin.
The Fulani section of Ilorin
came up with a counterclaim that no Yoruba king has ever been enthroned from
the onset, therefore the throne belongs to their (Fulani) ethnicity.
However, history will never lie
and so Sunshine Nigeria brings you the
true account of how Aare-Ona-Kakanfo Afonja lost Ilorin to the Fulani people of
Northern Nigeria.
