I have come to realise that South west is very diverse, they comprise of different ethnic nationality but conquered and dominated by yorubas. The word yoruba to me seems to be a unifying coinage just like Anioma, to bring bring all different ethnic nationals together.
However, unlike Anioma, different ethnic nationals in South west have nothing in common, aside that, they adopted yoruba language as a lingual franca..
among them are 1. Aworis : they occupy some parts of ogun state lagos and ondo state they have different culture and background, they have stated that they are not yorubas 2. The ijebus are fierce and aggressive, they have also affirmed that they migrated from sudan, so they can not be regarded as yorubas, 3. The Egun, they are found in Benin republic, lagos, Ogunn state and some part of oyo state. They have nothing in common with yorubas both in culture and language, they are the only one still tied to their traditional, maybe because they are very conservative.
others are ekiti, egba, ife, etc all these ones have aligned fully to the big family yoruba. but the question is who is the pure yoruba, because I hear people describe some with funny tags and names.. I need a very serious clarification here

you havnt mention d igbos dat constitute large numbers in south west too. all d above mention tribes r yoruba

anywhere rule by an Oba is a yoruba land. yorubas love to entertain strangers, all tribes in Nigeria r in the south west. before d ijebus came to part of ogun state Yorubas has been there. Ijebu is a yoruba word used 4 d native ijebu people there but strangers from sudan don't even know themselves again.

Op,your post is funny. if all those you mentioned are not Yoruba,what can we call the language they all speak? I still can't comprehend your post,what language does ijebu speak if is not yoruba language?

Op, thank you for not forgetting the ones that said they are from Sudan, while the main Yoruba kporoakpor, said their 'ground' papa was chased down from sky.

Why are u guys giving this guy attention, this is nt the first time he would post something like this, pls ignore that vagabond, or let him ask google the real yorubas if he care to know

but wetin concern op. u even forgot to add Igbo. dey consist of 60 percent of Lagos population

The Egun are NOT yoruba.

You are wrong, Ibos constitute 99 percent of Lagos population. Yorubas are just 0.1 percent while Ijaws are 0.9 percents. Idiots everywhere. Try another nonsense, the 1967 to 1970 genocide will be repeated.

I think think the op is 80% correct

Hmmn...na wa! When did the Aworis come out en bloc, to tell you there are not Yoruba? What names do their people bear? What customs and traditions do they practise?

And what are you trying to achieve with this? You are also trying to use that 'Sudan" migration theory to claim the Ijebu are not Yoruba. Unfortunately, a number of them have come to NL to confirm they are actually Yoruba.

It is like someone coming out to say the Onitsha, the Ngwa, Bende, Aguleri, Mbaise, Aboh, Ezza, Wawa, Nkwerre, Etche etc., are not Igbo, simply because they speak different dialects of Igbo. Won't you laugh at his stupidity??

I'm concerned because a respected king said so... So I'm confused! I want to know why he claimed to have migrated from sudan, instead of oduduwa in great ife land.

I like how responsible and civil your response is, now let's dissect the diversity in SW,
Do Aworis see themselves as Awori or yoruba? Do they mix with slave returnees like Cokers of this world,
2. Egun are not yoruba no matter how you try to deny this,
3. If ijebus are yoruba, why would a King come out and say that they migrated from Sudan!!!

u r not yoruba but a subgroup. u dey craze why is igala a yoruba word? why r igalas in south west and kogi? Ode leleyi o

fkaz:
One of the bedrock of yoruba homogeneous language is the early translation of english Bible to yoruba by Bishop samuel Ajayi crowther.

IMO

a very intelligent response, but can you elaborate more on that effect.

Only on paper you say?

Yet we live homogeneously. Any "I hate Bleep Yoruba group" by a yoruba person in 2015? No.

Any division? No.

In fact, state lines do not matter. Yoruba is Yoruba.

listen igala are not yoruba, like ijaw, they're in anambra, Benue, edo, delta and ofcourse kogi.. they are not yoruba. Their women do not dress alike too.

I don't have any words for you, they will respond to you..
