Should we (Yoruba) because of our affiliations with Warri Kingdom say that Delta belongs to the Yoruba nation?

Illiterate Peoples of Biafra (Igbos) over to you.

WesternOligarch:


Please don't derail the thread.

Thanks.

I know what I am asking.
Igbo have always lay claim to Delta because of the Igbo speaking side of Delta.

Itsekiri are Yoruba Speaking

When Nigeria was Nigeria Bendel State Which included Edo and Delta was the Engine room of Some fantastic Talent

The last time I checked, Itshekiri sons and daughters are integral members of Afenifere, Egbe Omo Oduduwa.

Thus, if Itshekiri formed a homogeneous state, nothing stops a Yoruba group from demanding they be part of a Yoruba nation because of their cultural affinity.

The title olu of warri was made possible by Awolowo, itsekiri are mainly yoruba most of them are from illaje, main Ondo and Ijebu.

Go and trace the lineage of most of them you would find out the truth even Ayiri talking there is from Akure.

jking001:
I can't argue with you, find the truth out for yourself, your language is similar to Yoruba and you are saying you not Yoruba, your king is Olu, and you dey form independent, keep deceiving yourselves, no let your papa lie for you una be Yoruba.

GNature:
Thank you @WesternOligarch

The people making noise now because Gov Fayemi, Obasanjo etc went to the Olu
don't know their history It is not due to oil.

emmadothings:

You're what you believe you are, but what you believe doesn't necessarily apply to the general public because different people believe different things.
