Although we speak almost thesame language with u, and still regard you as our brother doesn't make us Yoruba , We are Itsekiri

itsekiri are yorubas same as ijesha,ijebu,igbomina,ife e.t.c they are all yorubas,and they attended the last yoruba meeting in ibadan just recently

My Yoruba bros and sisters, please leave the Itsekiri nation alone.
They have decided to have a seperate cultural identity from us, and self identify as ITSEKIRIS and we should support and respect that opinion.
We don't even dress in the same way. they dress like other Niger deltans, most of the time. No matter how much similarity i see between both groups, I see the differences between them as well.

Yes, Itsekiris are Itsekiris and Yorubas are Yorubas.
Being similar does not equal to being the same. I am sure the Itsekiris have a lot of unique culture that most Yorubas except some of the riverrine ones like some Ilajes will not understand.
Any Yoruba man that will try to go and claim Igala will be bamboozled back to his tent within a minute .... lol

So 'egbele' is 'chicken' in Itsekiri? Interesting. Is it the same in the Yoruba dialects?

OK. Thanks. I asked because in my town we use both 'okuku' and 'egbene'. So I was a little surprised to see 'egbele' up there.

Awka, Anambra State. I don't know if the other Anambra towns also say 'egbene' in addition to the general 'okuko/okuku'. That is something I'll have to find out.
