We all know that the term 'Yoruba' is relatively new and loosely used to describe the peoples who live in south western Nigeria. The real question is: Do the Ilaje trace their history to Ife (the ancestral home of the Yorubas) or not? That, I think, will put paid to the issue once and for all.

Yes ilajes traced their history to ife
Who created ife?

Then Ilajes are Yoruba. EOD.


Except you want them to be something else which you have the right to.

How would I know who created Ife? I wasn't there grin. But history says Ife has always been even before Oduduwa 'descended' from wherever he descended from.

Nice!
I was surprised to see any part of ondo on biafra map until yesterday, Now I know.
Biafra is still being pushed, no one knows the way it's going but we have seen the maps, and if what I've read here is anything to go by, when nigeria splits ilaje of ondo will be in the republic of niger delta if they don't go with biafra. That's important for we Yoruba to know now because non Yoruba must not be allowed in the new Yoruba country.

@ the bolded ilaje was and has never been part of biafra...it's a fictional map...though ilaje was under Benin Kingdom back then.
Was there anything like biafra in the 19th century?
I doubt

A united oduduwa republic will consist of all who have ties and history with oduduwa
That means the likes of Benin empire of old will be in that map

OYo-ruba existed before the pre-ife era
Ileife was created by Oduduwa when he arrived ife. Read more on the great Benin Kingdom

NB: Oduduwa did not fall from any sky. It's all fallacy. Oduduwa came from the eastern part of the then yoruba community

It's not going to happen! Nothing will stop us from having a true Yoruba nation once this is over. The land where 'kaa ro o ji ree' is the standard. All Yoruba blood.

Any group that can't say they are a Yoruba subgroup will not be allowed in the Yoruba nation, in fact it will be the first requirement to be in our new country. You will be either be with biafra or ijaw/Nigerdelta to Lord it over you.

You must be insane to mention ogun as part of your poultry empire. Did you hit your head in a bike accident or you have just been certified a lunatic? I don't play that shhitt! Don't ever bring your nonsense to ogun again! In ogun, we ride horses to shoo you and no one rides a roach to ours.

Wait, is there a difference between Ife and Ile Ife? Because, how could Oduduwa create Ile Ife if he arrived Ife.

Please enlighten me.

Your comments are that of a desperate Edo who has a lot to lose when nigeria splits, and risk being conquered by ijaws or ibos.

Ijebu say Dede too, ijebu and ilaje are more similar Dan isekiri

True! Ijebu and Ilaje are the most identical, Itsekiri would make it 3

The Ijebu, Ilaje and Ondo area used to be inhabited by the same people. Until new waves of migration from different places created different identities among them. . . And itsekiri was inhabited first by Ijebu/Ilaje people before the Edo prince established his dynasty over them

History says that the itsekiri are frm edo, but as a itsekiri man I understand yoruba to an extent, nut I don,t understand jack in edo language, hw come. Itsekiri,s understand yoruba and they don,t understand edo which history says itsekiri are from.

Because itsekiri are from Ijebu/Ilaje with a king from Edo

It is on record that Ekiti, Ijesha, Ikale, Ilaje, Akure, Ogho (Owo), Ijebu, Akokos, Okun/Yagba and other Yoruba groups of the Eastern half, were never under the Oyo empire.

Some parts of Ekiti was...many other parts under Bini.
unless we don't consider Efon and Imesi as Ijesa(because they are in Ekiti state), because Efon and Imesi were under Oyo empire at some point
