THE ORIGIN OF YORUBA PEOPLE (INHABITANTS OF SOUTHWESTERN NIGERIA)

-
The Yoruba people are the inhabitants of the Southwestern geo-political zone of Nigeria. A considerable number of the people are found in the northern region—precisely Kogi and Kwara states—some are also "the aborigines' of a part of Benin Republic. Today, many Yoruba speaking people are found in Brazil because their ancestors were victims of the Portuguese's slave trade which started in the fifteenth century. If not for the efforts of Granville Sharp, Thomas Clarkson and William Wilberforce—the men who led a body of Englishmen that laboured to convert the parliament then to their efforts of getting slave trade eradicated—the Yoruba nation would have almost been totally depopulated before the nineteenth century. Today, the states inhabited by the Yoruba people in Nigeria are all the Southwestern states—Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ondo, Ekiti and Lagos states.

YOUR RELIGION According to the Wordweb English dictionary and thesaurus, religion is an institution used to express belief in a divine power. Connotatively, religion is the belief in God/gods, and the various activities that are connected with them. Religion-wise, taking a look at the world today, there are two widely accepted religion—Islam and Christianity. According to historians, it is believed that Christianity was founded by Jesus Christ. That does not mean the truthful prophets—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Hezekiah, Isaiah—are not Christians. To be sincere, Christianity has been in existence since "times immemorial". True Christians are identified by their conducts: they do not dress indescently, they are kind, honest, dependent, they are loyal to God. Islam on the other hand is believed to have been founded by Muhammad (S.A.W) the great prophet. He (Muhammad) grew up in Arabia—Macca precisely. According to history, Muhammad was a good man even when he was on...
