Desola you can probably understand more of that than you think. Even I can hear a bit of it...and I'm not exactly the most fluent in yoruba cheesy

Regarding Ekiti dialect...to be quite honest I'm not sure whether the dialect in my town is closer to Ekiti or Ijesha (we live near the border of the two groups..)

I do know that our dialect sounds kind of strange to mainstream Yoruba though grin

We need an egun guy to confirm if they're yorubas or not - to stop the incessant arguments on NL about who are yorubas, or not... I can relate to the Ilajes, though. My home town is as swampy as theirs but we're not riverine people.

ah ah ah grin, but I am sure you can pick up some words in there.

This brings me to the to Gbedegi and toede (not sure of the spelling) who are actually yorubas in Niger state but have been nupe-ized. their language is very similar to Okun as well.


Okun is so much better, very intelligble to me as oppossed itsekiri. Here is an okun man singing in Okun, not much different from the regular Yoruba you hear on the streets of Lagos.

Thoughts on mainstream Yoruba language supplanting the dialects?

The advantages are pretty big I think, and certainly outweigh the costs.

But I suppose that there is a loss of uniqueness/culture, increased homogeneity as a result of this too..

One person's opinion does not give credence to where a group belongs. I'm sure if one egun guy comes and says egun people are Yorubas and another egun niggga says otherwise, you'll believe the one that supports your belief, right? Personally, i think all this groups are classified under the Yoruba ethnic group which is quite different from tribe. That's where some people get it wrong. Yoruba is like a club of people with similar idiosyncrasies and not necessarily of the same lineage.

Eyo is no longer an Ijebu thing. In fact it is now a lagosian thing which include all ethnicity. wink

That is not true. 9ice is from OGBOMOSHO. Look up his interview with Funmi Iyanda on Youtube. Iyanda herself is also an omo Soun.

So it turns out that aside from being a counterfeit, Ilaje44 is also irresponsible (he claims to "yansh" girls), a bigot (describing Isoko's and Urhobo's with derogatoruy names) as well as a fool. embarassed

That typical alj haram.
