Where is your counter evidence. Bishop Ajai Crowder was a returned freed slave and he was a Yoruba. Being a freed slave does not make you lose your identity.
Tell us where those credited as Yoruba and their achievements by Femi Fani-Kayode came from. Until you give a correct counter argument, Femi's claim remained valid.

By Femi Fani-KayodeFIRST YORUBA CLAIMED LAWYERS AND DOCTORS WERE FREED SLAVES NOT YORUBAFor example the first yoruba lawyer Christopher Alexander Sapara Williams was called to the English Bar in 1879 whilst the first igbo lawyer, Sir Louis Mbanefo, was called to the English bar in 1937. Again the first yoruba medical practitioner, Dr. Nathaniel King, graduated in 1875 from the University of Edinburgh whilst the first igbo medical practitioner, Dr. Akannu Ibiam, graduated from another Scottish" University in 1935. By Femi Fani-KayodeFEMI FANI KAYODE HAVE LIED AGAINThe names Mr Fani-Kayode mentioned as first Medical Doctor and lawyer were not Yoruba, they were freed slaves who could have come from anywhere in West-Africa,if they settled in Lagos,it does not make them Yoruba.
Lastly I advise Mr Fani-Kayode to sort out his case of suspected money laundering with the EFCC before dabbling into these ethnic issues which he knows little about,he is living off his father's political capital.The original tribe who inhabited the coastal land known as Isale Eko were not Yoruba,they were overshadowed by the more populous Yoruba who today claim the land, these people were closely related to the Ijaw tribe.--The Bitter Truth About The Igbo
