YourNemesis:Doesn't Mata na, we sabongida Ora sometimes have Yoruba names maybe due to some reasons however we don't speak Yoruba my native name is Ehigbae, can choose to shun the Yoruba name or use it. I personally chose it as my first name. |

Dainikel:. Cross River State is also an example. There's a village in the state that women speaks different from men. Over 5 languages spoken in 1 LGA. Lol very funny. In calabar, an Efik or Efut man finds it difficult to understand Abakpa(Qua) language, who are the landlords of calabar Municipal council. These three tribes are the occupants of the Greater Calabar. Infact the state is a mini Nigeria. 3 Likes |

[size=28pt] 362 Yoruba I believe you are wrong and you have to find out fact first. and Yorubas are not a tribe. the hausa/fulani are not a tribe. yorubas can be found in edo and delta state. Illiterate people find out the meaning of tribe. what is the oba of benin name. His name is Ereduwa.. is Oduduwa a yoruba man. [/size] |

YourNemesis:Me i no know all those ones oo... i just know it's lapese people that have link with yoruba as most of their names sound yourbaish.. I know of Ajulo family, Adesunloye etc. For ora i no know but we speak ora which isn't close to Yoruba language. Meaning of Ehigbae is like Oluwatobi in Yoruba 1 Like |

whirlwind7:fulani is there represented as :pulani , other names are: fulbe and fulfud. but my objections are with (awori) is nt a distint tribe but a subgroup of yoruba race. (Ebu) is an igala subgroup found nt only in kogi but extends to delta. Egbema, etsako, andoni etc are names of places and does nt represent a distinct tribe.its just like saying ijebu is a tribe when its universally known as a subgroup of d yoruba tribe. We need to narow down too many divisions in nigeria. The ikwere man will tell u he is diferent from ibo, where as scientific analysis will proof theres little difference. |
