Far from home, Yoruba community makes home in Delta State

National Mirror, November 2011 — Not many people know that there is an authentic Yoruba community in Delta State. Well, there is. The Oloku Mi people who migrated from Owo/Akure area of the present day Ondo State have lived in a community known as Ugbodu in Aniocha Local Government Area of Delta State since circa 11th Century AD. AMOUR UDEMUDE visited the community and found a people eager to retain as many aspects of their origin as possible.
The couple strolling ahead have all the trappings of the Igbo especially in the way they are attired and the language of their dialogue. A few metres more, they are at their abode where a group of kids bid them welcome in a language different from the one they have been using. Their response too is in that same language: a variety of the Yoruba language. Welcome to Ugbodu, a town in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. Ugbodu is a peaceful community of over 10,000 people and it is agrarian like its Isoko, Urhobo, Izon, Itsekiri and Igbo neighbours. It is also a border town in that it shares boundary with Edo State. But aside their dressings, living , occupation and other things which bear close semblance to that of their neighbours, there is something unique and almost peculiar about them: their language and culture. These are prone to shock any first time visitor which was what happened to the reporter on his first visit. How could this be? The writer wondered. A visit to the palace, unfortunately, could not solve the riddle. The custodian of the people’s customs and traditions, the monarch, was not around to illuminate the dark areas. It was a young Princess taking the writer down to one of the members of the royal family who could talk, that made the first move at solving the riddle.

“We are a Yoruba speaking community and the name of our [b]language is Oloku mi,” she disclosed. Finally the king, H.R.M. Ayo Isinyemeze, the Oloza (Obi) of Ugbodu, met the desire of the writer. The youthful looking, handsome royal father explained. According to the monarch who is also the chairman of the Traditional Rulers Council in Aniocha North, the Ugbodu Oluku mi speaking people migrated from Owo/Akure axis in the current day Ondo State between 9th and 11th Century AD to settle down in [/b]Benin during the reign of King Ogiso of Benin. They, however, had to leave Benin for their current abode after a particular incident which rendered them unsafe. “The language, Oluku mi is a dialect of the Yoruba. Interestingly, we are not the only speakers of the language. It is spoken even as far as far away Cuba, part of Southern America. Our history dated far back, very far back to the time of Ogiso’s in the Benin Kingdom. “Then, there was a young handsome Prince, the heir apparent to the throne. After the woman gave birth to the Prince, the nobles consulted the oracle and said that the oracle told them that the child should be killed for peace to reign in Benin Kingdom. But eventually he was not killed. However, when the news filtered into the rest of Benin that the Prince had not been executed, we didn’t feel safe and comfortable. that is to say we first of all settled in Benin at this time so when this filtered in that this young Prince had been executed of course our people grew very uneasy and decided to leave Benin and that was how we ended up here. So, that is how far we can trace our history and when we got here and find the place very conducive and fertile for settlement, of course we have to settle here,” the royal father narrated.

He continued: “Centuries later and interestingly, we would always claim that we were the first to settle in this neighbourhood which is why we have a name for practically all the communities around us as they refer to us simply as Ugbodu. “Sometime in the mid 90’s, the Ife monarch traveled to Cuba and then it was reported that he met a group of persons who were speaking an ancient, according to them, form of Yoruba that was called Oloku Mi.” What exactly does the name Ugbodu connote, the monarch disclosed “Ugbodu simply means, we have found solace in this land”. But how come the people are so different from the Yoruba who they claim are their progenitors? The monarch said: “You know when you have been away from your roots for an extended period what you begin to find is that assimilation of culture begins to take place. In sociology, we call it acculturation. “We began to acculturate and over time we had adopted largely the way of life of our neighbours. We now bear Igbo names. Me, for instance, my name is Isieyemeze but that’s not Oloku mi name, that’s an Igbo name. It is a tribute as it were to my family because, I bear an Oloku mi name as a first name. My children all bear Oluku mi names. I think there is renaissance, an effort of going back to our roots.

So, most of the children being born these days are named Oloku mi names. “Outside from that, our dance, dress and food we have basically adopted our neighbour’s lifestyle in those regards. Interestingly, practically everybody here speaks Igbo but as our second language. Our primary tongue is Oloku mi and everybody born here speaks that language. If we come out without you hearing us talk, you will also see us as Igbos because of the way we dress, kind of food we eat but outside that our language is the thing that really stands us out.” But do the people regret being outside their original habitat and losing touch with their roots The monarch replied in the negative stating: “We don’t have any regrets finding ourselves here because wherever we found ourselves is because we are destined to be here. Being here we have no regrets the only thing that I will say that irks us which is not peculiar to our community is the apparent lack of government attention to our community. “Things you find here, from the market, to the health centre, secondary school, are all community effort. In 2008, the government made a pronouncement of taking over the school but up till now we are still struggling to get that approval fully granted. We received a list of teachers and till now we are still fighting to get the teachers to report but all to no avail. We are the one solely funding the school till date as I talk to you.” The monarch however added: “We are very hospitable, very peace loving, very orderly people. We are development minded which is why we strive at every point to see that we bring the good things of life to ourselves even though we are not getting much encouragement from government in that regard.”

Ugbodu community, though grossly neglected, has produced so many big names who have made the country proud in their various fields of endeavour in life. But this, the royal father lamented, had not helped, their community has remained underdeveloped and grossly neglected. “I think as a measure of hospitality and quest for greatness, we have produced a string of first in this community. We produced the second ever Miss Nigeria in 1958 in the person of Helen Anyamelune, the captain of the first ever under 18 Golden Eaglets that brought the first world cup to Africa and indeed Nigeria in 1985 (China’85), in the person of Nduka Ugbade and beyond that we also have eminent scholars and politicians and all what not but unfortunately all these have not translated into developmental infrastructures in the community. “We have also used every opportunity we get to cry out to government to please come to our aid. You hardly find any Ugbodu person involved in any criminal activities but we had a major of contribution to the social cultural development of good of this nation. So it’s funny that in spite of all these we still not have anything to show for all that.” The Ugbodu people are mainly Christians. The Oloza shed more light. “For religion, we are primarily Christians but of course been Africans you will not remove that aspect of those who are still traditionalists in their beliefs. So, the African traditional religion is still present here but unfortunately it is not as dominant as it was in the days past. Christianity has taken over, I don’t think if we have any resident Muslim here but I am sure we have one or two persons from the community who are Muslims but not resident within the community.

Our community is a border community, we share boundary with Edo State and surrounding our community are several communities with different languages.” The Oloza of Ugbodu who maintained a cordial relationship with his people told Saturday Mirror that he was crowned in 1985 and this year is his 26th on the throne. The monarch however refused to disclose his educational background but simply said: “If I was looking for appointment or employment, I might want to display my educational qualifications but you can’t take it to the bank. That I have had a very good education that is the way I always put it.” He would, however, want his reign to be remembered as one that brought the greatest level of development to his community even as he advised politicians to as a matter of fact shun corruption which he said had brought rot and decay to the nation’s political and economic system, “Our leaders should learn how to be truthful and honest to Nigerians,” he insisted. Since the Yoruba speaking community is surrounded by the Igbo-speaking communities, it did not take much time before the Igbo language started to interfere greatly on the people’s language. This according to the monarch is the biggest and most challenging problems facing the people of Ugbodu community.

However, the people especially the elders are trying to tackle this problem headlong. Their Oluku mi language is being threatened hence its protection and that of their culture in general has become paramount. Prince Adebowale Ochei of the royal family anindigene of Ugbodu who was born and breed in the land revealed that the elders are more connected to the original Oluku mi language than the youth stressing that they are gradually losing the real Oluku mi following the encroachment of the language by the Igbo language. According to Adebowale: “The real Oluku mi is like the Yoruba that is spoken in Owo in Ondo State. Someone from that place is expected to understand the language perfectly. I am an Oluku mi man and I am proud of my language. I am not happy that Igbo language is infiltrating our language. We are trying our best to correct the situation and part of that is what my brother (the Oloza) is doing by organising an Oluku mi reciting competition. We want to know the people who can speak the real Oluku mi without mixing it with Igbo or English.” As a protecting measure against the infiltration of the language, the inhabitants have made it a point of duty to making sure that their children are given Oluku mi names and to sing and say prayers in Oluku mi. In some cases, some radical reformers and revivalists changed the names given to them by their parents from Igbo to Oluku mi. The climax of the restoration process of their linguistic ethos and identity was the christening of the incumbent Oloza with an Oluku mi name, Ayo. The people of Ugbodu like every other community in Delta state have always contributed their quota mostly when it comes to casting their votes during elections, but the big question now is that, why has government decided to neglect the people to their fate by not living to it responsibility?

There's freedom of association and so you are free to merge Oluku Mi people to Yorubas. That should be no problem.
