Interesting.

The egun nation should be respected.

which oyo? the one Dahomey women came and chased away?

The truth of the matter is Egun peeps are not yoruba in no regard, they're forced to speak yoruba, my stay in badagry opened my eyes! they speak their distinct language, their culture musical instrument traditional attires are very different from yoruba! it just like saying ibibio are igbos! or Ijaws are igbos! they share nothing in common, most of them tend to understand yoruba to survive, yoruba don't understand anything in their language
They are mostly traditionalists, they are veer peaceful and hardworking!!
Egun peeps look more muscular than yoruba!
Honestly the injustice is too much, you need to see their public schools! if you go to badagry you will understand, infact If I should suggest, they should join their kits and kins in Benin republic!
They also enjoy dual citizenship,
they are mostly uneducated, you will see a young girl of 20 years that can not speak come" and "go" they lack everything I have written something similar about this but, as usual they came and dismissed it!
if you see any of them with yoruba name, then he /she must have adopted the name.
Egun people are culturally strong! ie they are still deep into their culture!!

Using an eye to look you. Who are you to speak for the whole tribe/populace? A 20-year old girl? You make me gasp for breath. Where did you stay in Badagry? I mean, where did you visit to say most are illiterate? Please, don't flack such misinformation.
The primary/ secondary schools? I might understand if you say you visited the environ in the 50s, if you were here, you would know that development has become prevalent in the society; especially in the area of education.

About the tribe, there are several asservations to support/ refute the claim that they are part of Yoruba.

Is this news? SMH
