What is the meaning of the word Yoruba?

What is the meaning of the word Yoruba? Have you always thought about where the word Yoruba originated from? Have you heard many misconception and misapprehension that left you baffled? That was what got hold of me too so I decided to dig into it. What is the meaning of Yoruba? Does it have any inclination to our language? This is a thought provoking topic that needs profound reasoning and intense research for better understanding. It is time we faced the monster that keeps trailing us whom many try to ignore. In Yoruba culture, appellation is often derived from a prerequisite factor or foretelling. For fact telling, some name their child Owolabi hoping the child will bring fortune to the family, another one is that almost all Yoruba towns have their names derived from an event or a factor as illustrated in; Eba-Odan – Ibadan, Abe Okuta Olumo – Abeokuta and Ibi ti Ile ti yo – Oyo and so forth.

While Ibadan was occupied with the Ijaiye war, the Ijesha attacked them from the east. They were beaten off, and the Ibadan capture of Ilesha in 1870 marked the high point of Ibadan power (Akintoye, 1971: 56-60). The subordinate towns controlled by Ibadan came to be administered through officials called Ajele, a system similar to that of the former Oyo empire (Awe, 1964).

Aare Latosisa, Balogun Ogboriefon and few others listed as KIRIJI Warriors

The Generals involved in these conflicts include: Ibadan Are Latosa Osi, Ilori – son of Ogunmola and later Akintaro Iyapo – son of Ibikunle Balogun Ajayi Ogboriefon Ali Laluwoye – Otun Babalola son of Ajayi Ogboriefon Ijesa Ogedengbe Ayomoro Ogunmodede Egba Ogundipe Ajagunjeun Okenla Ekiti Fabunmi Odeyale Adeyala Ilorin Emir Alihu Ajia Karara – Balogun of Ilorin Ife Ayikiti – general The war caused heavy casualties on both sides although historians believe that the losses were even. It showcased the largest array of military hardware in Western Africa at the time. The Eastern Yoruba confederacy purchased a large number of cannon guns which produced the thunderous sound “Kiriiiiiiji”. The name “ Kiriji ” came from the ground shaking vibrations that accompanied the use of the cannons which gave the Eastern Yorubas an advantage over the Ibadans. Several Yoruba towns and villages were completely wi...
