Relationship Between Yorubas And The Itsekiris by Olakunlae: 12:09am On May 18, 2017 |
I tuned my T.V to nta only see coronation of Olu of Warri being displayed. I noticed that some of their names sound yoruba like names and some even spelt the same way. For instance, the new Olu's name is Gbesimi Ikenwoli, his sister's name is Shola and brother's name is Yemi Emiko. Saw another chief's name to be Iteshola. Not only the names that baffles me but the prince called "omo oba" same way as the yorubas do call prince. Please, is there any historian here that can make me understand if there is a relationship between the Yorubas and the Itsekiris? |

@Olakunlae The truth is that every other tribe down south of Nigeria are offshoots of the Yoruba tribe. The only reason they refuse to identify directly with Yoruba is because they want to carve a niche for themselves, an identity they believe the Yoruba race, due to its large size, will overhadow. The Benin people of Edo State will always make you believe the Yoruba race (Oduduwa) came from them and they skillfully dished up their history because Yoruba history is filled with mythology, instead of reality and theirs is a cooked up reality instead of mythology based history. But we're not alone. Even the Koreans and other Asian countries believe they descended from Tigers, funny but true, owing to their ancient religious beliefs which the forefathers refused to separate from their history, same thing with the Yoruba forefathers. The Yoruba race is one of the biggest in West Africa, with countries like Benin Republic and Togo having their own native Yoruba people. It's also a culturally relevant language in Brazil. 4 Likes 1 Share |

blackberlin: hmmm.... I guess this is due to distortion in history that happened when it is passed from one generation to another verbally without any form of writing. |

Itsekiri and Yoruba is just exactly the same as Ika and Igbo. Itsekiri is mixture of Edo and Yoruba and Ika is mixture of Edo and Igbo 4 Likes 1 Share |

@ topic, As far as I'm concerned, Itshekiri and their Yoruba kin should cooperate more because they are one. I wonder why the rest of Yoruba keep their distance. |
