I am not surprised. I have never seen a Yoruba woman that beautiful.

Most Yoruba women look fat and ugly like Tpiah and Jenifa!

zstranger ha!!!

did u know this before

.

It is a lie, Remi Tinubu is Full blooded Yoruba. Alj Harem mechionu

Maybe Ndubisi Kani is Itsekiri too or Oba of Lagos because they attended and Itsekiri function

.

tpia@:

@ alj harem


as far as i know, itsekiri give their kids names from their own language, not yoruba.

The names will sound yoruba though.

ok thanks tpia

but you as a yoruba can u understand itsekiri language

Oluremi Odugbesan Ikusebiala from ogun state who later became Oluremi tinubu.

another one from the house of fraud.


I speak itsekiri and I think you people should offer apology to itsekiri people.  I understand Uhrobo and isoko, because uhrobo and isoko are close to each other.  and my childhood  friend were uhrobo and isoko
My classmate were itsekiri too. that how i learn itsekiri, he live just a street away from me as a child. His mother use to speak  itsekiri to him and his  brothers.   that how i learn itsekiri as a child.   he was the captain of my soccer team.

She is from Ogun state and her maiden name is: Oluremi Ikesebiala. Check out her bio here: www.believeinremitinubu.com/1/biography

thanks

Itsekiris are Yorubas anyway, so what gives? Anyway Remi is Yoruba from SW not Yoruba from SS.

.

tpia@:

i'm not sure, since i personally havent heard it spoken much.

a lot of itsekiris speak yoruba.

but i know the names sound yoruba and people have told me the dialect also sounds yoruba.

but since they're delta, i'm sure they probably have words from there too.

oh thanks for the help

i think jason should help here

Bunch of jobless liars

There is very little difference between Itsekiri and Yoruba. A Lagos Yoruba man will understand Itsekiri better than some deep Yoruba like Ikale and Ijebu.If you integrate and differentiate both dialect, you will discover that they have a common origin. For instance, wa=come, wagba=come take, Eko onibaje=Eko ewabaje, Ola=yesterday, Olorun=the owner of heaven, Ajamimogha=I am in my town, mabamije=dont spoil me. Olori=wife of a king, Tsola=shola and so on. There is no Itsekiri man who does not understand Yoruba. So, it doesnt realy matter whether one is a Yoruba or Itsekiri.

Its becoming hard to define Yoruba again?

Is everyone now claiming Yoruba?

That is is ULTIMATE TRUTH. Although, not all Yorubas can understand Itsekiri but most Itsekiris can understand Yoruba. The Eastern Yorubas and Ijebus will understand more of the language than, lets say, an Egba man.

Yoruba

Bini

Kini difference gan sef? Fulanis might as well join in.

Alhaji,

you no sabi read again?

The woman is Ijebu and not Itsekiri. And even if she were, she would still be Yoruba! Sheesh!

I don't understand how some people reason in this forum, if some body ask a question , I think it is the right answer that should be given to that person. I am close to these people, I have just told you the way it is, you said every body want to claim Yoruba. May be you want me to give you the wrong answer that Itsekiri has similarity wiTh Hausa. For your information, Itsekiris have nothing to benefit by claiming Yoruba rather it is Yoruba who have more to benefit by claiming Itsekiri. Most Yorubas are working in Chevron Ugborodo Escravos today because it is difficult to differentiate their names from Itsekiri names and a lot of them claim to be Itsekiri. If an Urhobo man send his CV to Escravos for a job and a Yoruba man send his CV, the Yoruba man's CV is likely to sail through than the Urhobo man. Name like Ejiro cannot claim to be an Itsekiri but Shola, Ayo, Areyinka, Olu, Tunde, Femi can claim to be Itsekiri even though the urhobo man is a next door neighbor to Itsekiri. It is only in this forum that people criticize Rochas Okorocha for forfeiting his salary to support free education.

gbammmmmm

don't mind this mumu's

@kpogede,

I for one see Itsekiris as Yorubas. However, I am confused about the point you are trying to make here.

Is it that you are saying Itsekiris are not claiming to be Yorubas rather, its the Yorubas in Warri who are claiming to be Itsekiris?

What is your personal view about the Yoruba-itsekiri relationship?

Alh-harem,

You are not any different from Calculia, who refused to admit that Phillip Emeagwali claimed to be Yoruba despite showing him/her documentary evidence.

A number of us on this thread have corrected you that Remi Tinubu is infact from Ogun state and have pointed you to online links which supports that assertion butstill you refuse to receive the gospel. You are totally dellusional.

The point Kpogede is making is very valid. In Warri, Yorubas claim to be Itsekiris to enable them get plum oil jobs in Itsekiri enclaves. Currently there is a huge Multi Billion dollar Chevron Gas To Liquid construction project taking place in Escravos. Escravos is an Itsekiri enclave. The project employs almost 10,000 and pays huge salaries. Itsekiris indigenes are given priority for jobs and contracts. It is the normal procedure in most oil producing communities.
Now because Yorubas have similar names with Itsekiris, they claim to be Itsekiris to enable them get jobs on this project. And a huge number of them are working there.

Itsekiris have no need to claim Yoruba. It benefits them nothing. It is Yorubas that benefit from being called Itsekiris.
