To make the matter confound you more, all Yoruba are children of Obafemi Awolowo

anulaxad:
For crying out loud watch yourself. All the names you've mentioned are just the different dialects of spoken Yoruba, Ijebu for example is an Ogun state dialect.

Please change the name of the thread as you are making it seem like Yorubas are confused people, we are all the same from western Nigeria to Togo.

And please google is your friend.

lol. just like how Igala means have you gone? in Igbo. Yet they r clearly not Igbo.
Don't ask me how I knew pls.






Again google is your friend, Egun is a Yoruba word, Ijebus are famous due to there very powerful YORUBA army, and which Aworis, Aworis are 100% Yoruba, the name means the plate has sunk in Yoruba.

Do you know that the Benins were also occupants of ile-ife before?

If everyone in SW are not descendants of Oduduwa why do they generalise the entire SW as egbe Omo oodua? That's the main correction I am trying to highlight here

dictbennie:


Oga, before you come here to inform gullible persons here trash here, let me educate you....The Apoi's of ondo state are not yorubas, they migrated from Apoi clan in Bayelsa state just like the Arogbos that migrated from Gbaraun in Bayelsa state...the Apoi's bear Yoruba names nd speak like them because of the influence of their neighbours I.e the ikales and the Ilajes..Even the arogbos include some Yoruba words to the Ijaw dialect they speak...As I am talking to you, the Apoi's have traced their origin to the Apoi clan of Bayelsa state which speak the same dialect ijaw like the Arogbos and have started calling their kids ijaw names..I have a few of them as friends...and a family friend was one of the persons that went to Bayelsa then...That's far the Apoi's are now telling their arogbo brothers that they are not more ijaw than them....The AROGBO IJAWS and the APOI'S are pure Ijaw people.....any Apoi man that denies it, doesn't know his origin...simple!

Akinduroolawumi:
I am an Ikale lady from Idepe- Okitipupa..... we are all Yorubas including the Ilaje people. Ikale and Ilaje are just dialects under Yoruba. We follow the general culture of Yoruba even the Yoruba language but the Ikales have some little Igbo and Benin traces. So many people even do tell us we ain't Yoruba cause we don't even look like them (I've met some people like that, some even claimed we originated from Igbo cause we look so much like them.... I mean the Ikales) but anyone from our place claiming not to be Yoruba is just confused. We are 100% Yoruba

jara:
You all know the op is just trying to ferment trouble, divide and conquer who?

These chedren no go stop.

Having read through the pages of this legendary thread, I dare say that the Yoruba solidarity is still very much manifest, regardless of external threats and internal insurrections.

Even the Apoi Ijaws in Ondo state are very Yoruba.

Oracle23:


They are Ijaws.

OBJ only added from to London state from delta state during state creation so that SW can have an oil producing state.

jaymichael:
I have them as close neighbors in my former neighborhood. We grew up together. One of my younger brothers still lives with them. Their names are Yoruba, their language is a dialect of Yoruba that sounds like Ikale and Ilaje dialect.

Oracle23:


They are ijaws.

That I speak hausa doesn't automatically make me a hausa man

jaymichael:
Why do you guys call Omoyele Sowore Yoruba man then?

Oracle23:


They are all ijaws.

jaymichael:
What is the meaning of Omoyele Sowore in Ijaw? Let us start from there.

Oracle23:


Daft.

They are ijaws and not yorubas

macof:
you didn't answer his question. How is he daft when you couldn't answer a simple but relevant question

Oracle23:


Daft.

They are ijaws and not yorubas

darfay:



Egun is not Yoruba

lawani:
All groups claiming origin from Ife are one. Their name is Yoruba for now but the appropriate name is Ife people. However Yoruba thought says all humans are Ife people, so to distinguish themselves a new name like Yoruba is necessary. The founder of the reigning dynasty is often placed as the father. The last one named Oduduwa was from Mecca, the penultimate may have been Orunmila, then there may have been Ogun too, probably Esu, Sango and etc in antiquity but presently it is Oduduwa, it does not matter if he was Chinese, Japanese or European. The important thing is he was made Oba at a duly recognised Ife.

No modern group are exclusively Ife aborigines. All modern groups have identities that are no more than 1500 years ago. Ijesa, Oyo, Ilaje, Ondo, Awori would sound strange to the hearing of our ancestors. Before all those there were Erinmoje, Ijero, Ire, Aramoko, Ira and many others now defunct. All of us are remnants of people holding on to the tradition of when Earth was first inhabited by dare devil ancient astronauts led by Ogun Lakaye. That first city was the first Ife.

When Humans reach that level of advancement again, we may spot a habitable planet where a patch of continent is portruding above the oceans , we then land there, being among the first set of terrestrial life. That would be Ife, we will land there with tech and know how, blossom then get wiped off as a result of one thing or the other, there may be survivors who will then carry on the traditions while others wander off as nomads. That is how it rolls. The story of the universe.

foxxi4real:
All the people who speak a dialect of the Yoruba language are Yorubas, their magratory pattern is another kettle of fish. Awori, Ijebu, Apoi, Ilaje, Ikale are all Yorubas because they speak Yoruba language.

Ilaje migrated from Ife
Ikale mrgrated from Ile-Ife, Ilaje and Bini
Apoi migrated from Ile-Ife to Bayelsa and then back to Ondo (on the return journey to Ile-Ife, they got lost and settled in present day Ondo State)
Ijebu migrated from Waddai (Egypt/Sudan)
Egba migrated from Benin Republic (Ketu)
Akure from Benin
Itsekiri from Ijebu (although they have decided to keep their own unique Itsekiri identity)

The original people that carry the real Yoruba title are people of Ile-Ife, Oyo, Osogbo, Ogbomosho, Offa, original Inhabitants of Ilorin, the vicinities of these latter towns.

Ogu (Egun) people are not Yoruba

Bialegend:

Speak for yourself man! My co-worker will not take that nonsense from anyone that tries to associate him with yoruba.
