Ilaje44: Give me a break! This is not Alhaji Harem.

@Tpiah, the people from Ondo state are linguistically not very far from each other. However, the Ikale dialect is the closest to Ilaje among the pack. I can understand ede Ogho, Ifan, Onido, Idanre quite well. Its only Akure and Akoko that can give me a very serious challenge to comprehend. Akoko is really tough.

Beispiele:

Ogho ji gede
Ilaje ji dede
Ekiti ji kete

Willy+willy:
Why is it that other yoruba clans like to look down on Ilajes?, and why do Ilajes like to live in dirty shanty houses built with bamboos?

jason123:

You've started, abi?

afam4eva: Why did the OP have to write in a blue ink. is he trying to prove something to us?

Ilaje44: [color=#000099][/color]
Indeed, we are quite related to the Ijebus. The historical migratory pattern as has been passed down to us implies that the Ilaje migrated from "Ufe". We do also had some Bini influences too, as we also have influenced Bini. For instance, we also call "àgban" kokodia and sometimes in an exclamatory remark do say "Orisanobua". We are really very close.

BTW, my paternal grand mother was from Ifan. If you are on FB, and you wish to be friend, check out "BABA-ILAJE".
E lee oma Ologho imade.

Ejiné: What a boring thread.

Willy+willy:

Yes ooooo, Ilajes are not interesting people because they are some how backward and poor, the little land they had, other Yoruba Clan have bought it, they are left with nothing only waiting the day Ocean will swallow them up.

Ilaje44: Alhaji alaya yi yeye must be a linguistical guru for him to have been able to mystify you lot. Much respect young Alhaji. Weiter so!

Jason, se uwo mo je la ka gho FB mi rin? TPIAH mo ko irohin yen ghun rin ke. Abi ki mi se re uwo omade yii? Gban aghan alaigbagbo re ji an ka pe ni Alhaji alaya yi yeye. Omakonren yen nati n'agbara n'oja yi sha.

BTW, blue is good for this old man's eye. Me ne affilieshon pelu "Fussballverein" yi an mi se emon dry gin n'oja ghan.

oturugo: @The poster in blue. Mr Beaf asked you a simple question and till now you have not answered that yet. Stop maintaining.

Beaf: Ilaje44, what state are you from?

jason123:

Sir Ilaje44, the highlighted is true!

This is the question again!

oturugo:
The truth and nothing but the truth please.
Ilajes are not Yorubas but have been influenced by their Yoruba neighbours or Yorubas have bought land in Ilaje and have moved there in large numbers. Answer.

jason123: [/b]

I guess your question is directed at Ilaje44 not me.

And please, for pure analytical purposes, can you explain the highlighted?

oturugo:
Very simple.
It's for him to choose one of the two.

ekt_bear: Well, the existence of Ilaje as a Yoruba subethnic groups messes up the narrative of Yoruba as parasites that some folk like to portray on NL.

This is why so many non-Yoruba seem to be interested in them...

From PapaBrowne who claimed that the Ilaje are not Yoruba, to various other clowns like Beaf and company.

Basically it is politics and propaganda..

oturugo: Some Ilajes speak Yoruba despite not been Yoruba. Just like some communities in Bauchi state speak Hausa yet not Hausa or some communities in Andoni Rivers state that speak Igbo despite not being Igbo.

Ilaje44: Yoruba Ilaje gha rin!
@Jason, bere rin, Ilaje lo die. Sugban sha, bi wo ba le fo Ondo abi Ogho, e ye ji ni ghun re yeye nati gbo Ilaje.

[size=5pt]On a side note, I heard the Ilajes are not comfortable being in Nigeria, so they have decided to form Ilafra. They are planning to take the Ibos along[/size]

Abeg leave Ilaje alone jare.

Ilaje44:

What language do the other Ilaje people speak if some speak Yoruba?

alj harem:

You carzy or what

Bauchi people are hausawa

Ilaje people as far as I am concerned are yoruba

NO COMMUNITY IN RIVERS IS IGBO .


Get you facts right.

jason123:

Ilafra . . .lol! On a real, though, you need to spend more time online and have fun. If people misinterpret your people's history, you could correct them. This is my sincere advise. Take care sir!

Btw, you have still not DIRECTLY answered Beaf's question!

Which is, " what state are you from"!
