..no, they are not from the same linage

The Itsekiris are from the same lineage with the Yorubas and that is the reason the language is very similar. Compare the Ilaje ethnic group and the Itsekiris language, extremely similar.

How ever the kingdom is offspring of Benin Kingdom.

This should be in the culture section. It seems 'Ife' in Itsekiri is definitely cognate to "Ifa" in Yoruba. "Bibi Ife" would mean "Bibi ifa", that is to "ask ifa". Is Ifa knowledge practised among the Itsekiris ?

Cc. Macof 9jacrip
Not really the practice. Itsekiri is greatly linked with the Yorubas. Though their way of life is not directly the same as the Yorubas but their language is embedded with Yoruba. When an Itsekiri person talks, you might get one or two things from what he says even without understanding their language. The condition is simple though; understand Yoruba.
The Itsekiris are highly cultural, just like the ancient city of Ile-Ife. Simply put, the Itsekiri language has loads of diluted Yoruba language in it.

Itsekiri language is very similar to the yoruba or are they from one linage

No, We re itsekiri they re Yoruba, but we still see them as brothers. our language sound similar with Yoruba making us 1 of the key branch of yoroboid language, e.g my name is Ayo, my cousins bears Shola , so we re almost the same, but different culture, our culture is from Bini.
