Ekiti people are known for their honesty, integrity and zero tolerance to cheating. These are virtues that are needed for growth and development. They are truly good people, and nice to work and associate with.

[quote author=macof]Ekiti, the land of hills

Ekiti from Ile-Okiti "home of hills" is a rugged and upland rocky area with most of it's rocks overlayed on each other.

Language
The Ekiti language is a unique Yoruboid language, grouped as Central Yoruba along with Igbomina, Okun, Ijesa, Ife and Ijebu
The Ekiti language however has it's own variant dialects as Moba speaks a dialect similar to Igbomina, Omuo speak that similar to Ijumu Okun, while Efon is similar to Ijesa.
Despite this the Ekiti people understand each other very well

Oriki of Ekiti Towns
I know the reason why you omitted Orin-Ekiti.......cos we share boundary and we are arch rivals


anyway


Oriki Orin-Ekiti
Omo elero ajejasanra
omo elero sakodi supepe
omepipu peja omi

Wonderful piece but i have a few questions>>>Are you saying that in the former Ondo state before the creation of Ekiti that the Ekiti people were the most dominant?
