Indeed it is.

When I think about the colonialists/missionaries, I shake my head because they did a damn good job.

They took the slave trade and chains of slavery away but reached for the minds of black women and men - perpetual enslavement.

Stfu! kneegrow . ilisan is remo not ijebu. there are 33 remo towns. ilisan and ikenne are one of them thief! so because ilisan is close to ijebu in distance makes it ijebu right? if ijebu is the largest ethnic group in nigeria then why categorize it under yoruba again. is yoruba not an ethnic group? and monkey know your history. ijebu is different from yoruba.

Complete nonsense. It's a known fact that remo is under Ijebu as Ibolo is under Oyo

And certainly you are a confusionist to claim ijebu is different from yoruba.

This is the problem i have with people who won't get their facts right before typing garbage. Remo use to be under ijebu but not anymore. Remo people today are being ruled by the Akarigbo not Awujale. As regards ijebu and Yoruba well. of all the groups in Yoruba land, ijebu is the only group that has no ancestry with Ife. don't forget remo has. I don't want to go back and forth because i know this is controversial. but i will ask you a question since you claim there's no difference

Are ijebus yoruba by blood or by association?

I actually have no issues with ijebu people plus i don't really believe in the stereotypes. They're everywhere and have contributed enormously to yorubaland. my real problem is the chest-beating OP who clearly due to his insecurity and "we're different from them" mentality said ijebus are this and that. At first he claim ijebu is an ethnic group and i replied to him that Yoruba is bigger since yoruba is also an ethnic group. he in turn responded to me asking if Ijebu is not yoruba. if ijebu is Yoruba as he's claiming then why make it distinct . why didn't he replace all he said with Yoruba. its people like this that stir up hatred in yoruba land
