I have never met a kogi man that has ever accepted to be yorubs,even if he bears a Yoruba name when I was in one polytechnic i was friends with one onyidamola from yagba, one day I called her yoruba girl omo she said God forbid and nearly shook hand for my eyes and gave me serious warning.. since that day I respect myself,I have many such stories too but I wouldn't list them all here.

Kogi State is not a predominant Yoruba state but with significant amount of Yoruba.

You are meeting the Kogites who are not Yoruba so stop embarrassing them or yourself by calling them Yoruba. All these information are online but most of you are just too lazy to read and get informed on issues before fouling it up with bigotry and tribalism.

Hon. James Faleke is a Yoruba man from Kogi currently representing Lagos Ikeja 1 constituency in the HOR. Senator Dino Melaye is a Yoruba man and the Obas and their subjects trace their origin back to Ile Ife.

All my Yoruba friends from Kogi are proud of their Yoruba heritage and even wish to be placed in the SW with their Yoruba kith and kin.

Other tribes in Kogi have a deep history with the Yoruba so are like distant cousins to the Yoruba but they are not Yoruba, only the Okun are Yoruba and they are not in the majority like the Igala or Ebira where the current Governor comes from .

I've seen ijebu people who claim not to be yorubas, it's no biggie. Nobody is forcing anyone to claim being Yoruba. I only have an issue with those who say they aren't Yoruba but claim Yoruba when it benefits them.

I think it depends on who u meet.
Its like going to Bayelsa and calling everyone ijaw

That's you and the person's business, if truly they're yorubas and they're denying their identity it still won't stop them from being seen as a Yoruba by non Yoruba's in the north.....let tribal conflict start, everybody will know their tribe by force

You are dragging faleke to be Yoruba even when Nigeria constitution places him in the north central

But you have a problem with igbos in south south and the south east claiming them

I am not one of the idle jesters, cyberbullies and trolls here on Nairaland who dive into what they don't understand .

There are tonnes of information on the subject of SE and SS to the point that an outsider to Igbo culture like me can hardly make informed decisions on it so will rather cite authorities or avoid such tribal debates outrightly.

My own is to insist that IPOB terrorists who kill, burn and practice cannibalism are not my understanding of the average patriotic Nigerian of Igbo extraction.

Beyond that, count me out of any SS and SE gbosgbas. They should sort themselves. I am Yoruba so I can write about my Okun kith and kin in Kogi.

Yoruba and hypocrisy, you spot their hypocrisy they start crying and calling mods for cyberbully

You are free to delve into the north and be dragging Northern people as yorubas

Buhari is free to go to Sudan and Niger and be dragging non nigerians as Fulani brothers

But same logic is not applicable to igbos

I can see that you struggle to comprehend my explanation and there's no point having a debate with you because it's not productive or high up there since tribal bashing and making uncouth remarks seem to be your forte.

Please kindly quit my mentions as I will no longer respond to you sir.

Thank you.

Ijebu Remo.....

And you can also read this, ijebus believe that they aren't Yorubas but lost descendants from sudan as stated by their oba.

How can Yagba not be Yoruba does it sound Kanuri or Efik to you?

Cos they are not all Yoruba.
Just a fraction of No go is Yoruba

Do you have any idea why they want an Okun state instead of just joining their follow Yorubas in neighboring states? I'd ask them directly but they don't have website or Twitter handle.

not u normal at all

Same reasons Ibadan people want Ibadan State and the Ijebu people want Ijebu State. From your comment we can conclude that these people I mentioned aren't Yoruba too

You know how many tribe dey Kogi state,how can you assumed everyone from Kogi is Yoruba

Just like meeting an ebira man from okene, and calling him a Yoruba man, you are trying to Rob him off his identity, and don't expect him to take that lightly with you.

I didn't say they weren't Yoruba clown. How you jump to that conclusion from what I wrote I dont know. Try not to jump to conclusions without any reasonable evidence. It's weird everyone wants to be a state just because they know they will be fed by the allocation. Also joining another state is easier than forming a new one.

The OP is as dumb as his words.

The Yoruba people of Kogi hate to be called Igbira/Ebira.

Stop fanning the ember of war/hatred among Nigeria

Yorubas do not want to be associated with Kogi people who do not know where they belong. They should continue their generational romans with the Almajaris in the desert. So Simple.
