Obalufon: There are igbos here masquerading as edo. Beware of them. Real Edo's know their first oba was oranmiyan, son of oduduwa. Why else do Edo's worship all yoruba deities and their language bearing similarities with ours? Even kingship title oba. Politics have caused a rift between the two groups. Having said that, Yoruba isn't begging anyone to join them. Yoruba to dun. We are sweet and internationally recognised. Nigerian ladies, infact all African ladies are dying for Yoruba dicks, even edo girls lol. 4 Likes |

9jakool: You did a very great job in this thread. Kudos to you! More pieces like this for you. It's such a shame that Nigerians are not taught history in school and we do not even know ourselves and origins very well. Pls I'd like to ask. 1. Do all Akoko people irrespective of their dialects identify as one people? Do they have pan-unity forums? 2. How on earth did the non-edoid and non-yoruboid speakers find themselves in Akoko land in between Edos and yorubas? And they were never absorbed for so many years? 3. Do all the non-yoruboid speakers in Akoko speak yoruba as a lingua franca? If yes, is it specifically Oyo dialect (central yoruba)? 4. Are the non-yoruboid speakers facing language extinction threats in Akoko? Due to the strong influence of yoruba language? |

Nowenuse: 1. Yes, Akoko is an umbrella term. The people are lumped up as a subgroup of Yoruba, but in reality they are a diverse group of people. This is why you often hear Yoruba people say that every town in Akoko speak their own dialect, many of which are often difficult to understand by outsiders or even other towns within Akoko. Because of the proximity, the Akoko people have created a unique cultural blend. Intermarriage is common and the cuisine, kingship, religion, customs, and even languages have blended together through borrowing and exchange of ideas and people. All the towns in Akoko have linked history with stories of trade and migration. An important thing to note is that the Akoko umbrela identity and affiliation with Yoruba existed long before colonial rule and before Yoruba people even started calling themselves Yoruba. 2. Well Akoko settlements are unique in that they are separated by mountains. The rocky terrain provides some degree of cultural isolation. To answer your question, you have to understand the linguistic nature of Akoko settlements. Akoko towns are very old (I can't stress how ancient they are). The old languages of Akoko are very archaic and conservative, changing very little and they offer a glimpse of what proto-Yoruba was like. For example, the Yoruba spoken 1000 years ago would be closer to the Akpe, Ahan, Ayere and Akokoid lagauages. Many elements lost in Yoruba language overtime are preserved in the Akoko languages. In towns with multiple languages, each community have oral tradition pointing to ancient immigration. So in essence, the non-Yoruboid and non-Edoid speaking of Akoko have been there since the very beginning. They are aboriginal to the land, just like the Yoruba and Edoid speakers. All of the Akoko languages including the Yoruboid dialects share a common ancestor, but a degree of isolation have created the differences we see today. 3. Yes, they do. Do they speak Oyo dialect? Well, currently yes, but historically no. Akoko people have always used Yoruba as a lingua franca, but not the Oyo dialect. Prior to the introduction of Oyo dialect as the standard, the people of Akoko use a general Akoko Yoruba dialect (a type of SE Yoruba) as a lingua franca with different variations from town to town to ease trade and communications. This is still true today, but over the past 150 years, the Oyo dialect has gained much influence and popularity. 4. This leads to the next question. Yes, these languages could face extinction. The most critical languages are Ukaan and Ahan languages. But the extinction is true for all Akoko lects including the indigenous Yoruboid ones as well, that are rapidly declining in favor of Oyo variety. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nowenuse: All Edo or Edoid groups in Eastern Yoruba are descendants of Edo people. They are descended from warriors, administrators, traders who settled those areas after driving out the Yorubas in those places. It’s all in history, go research yourselves and stop believing lies from these Yorubas on here. 1 Like |

davidnazee: Yes I know this very well. Just that I think we all west africans have ethnically absorbed each other at one point in time or the other. There are Yorubanized people of Edo descent, yorubanized Nupes, yorubas of hausa-fulani descent. There are Edos of yoruba descent (Usen), Edos of Igbo descent (Igbanke and environs), Edos of Nupe descent in esan/Etsako areas.. There are Igbos of Yoruba descent (Olukumi), Igbos of Edo descent, Igbos of Igala descent, Igbos of Ibibio descent. Many more. As long as we have been neighbors and have been interrelating for centuries. We have mixed with each other a lot. 2 Likes |
