Ilaje is entirely different from most Yoruba Dialect, There language is more related to Us (Itsekiri) An Average Ilaje Man sees himself as an Ilaje man nt Yoruba , but only On NL do you see Them tagging Ilaje Yoruba, Maybe Its because Of There Riches .....



Ilaje Is Ilaje
Yoruba is Yoruba
Itsekiri is Itsekiri.

Big tribe always looking for way to claim Small tribe in Nigeria, Same sheet happening in Delta north


I am an Itsekiri and Itsekiris are Yorubas so speak for yourself. You open your mouth to say Itsekiris are close to Ilajes so does that not tell you that we are Yorubas too. If you live among Itsekiris and Ilajes then you will know that we see ourselves as same people.

Believe me, my co-worker gave me serious warning never to call him Yoruba. He insisted that he is Ilaje and never to be called Yoruba. Why?
He's naive n ignorant
