[left][/left] To those of you who are busy claiming that okun is Yoruba,pls give us real historical proofs forget about d iya agba lo je mi concerted stories as it holds no water,and mind u research has proven that okunland was long inhabited evn before ile ife,as the archeological artefacts founded in okunland has proven same.okun pple became yorubas through acculturation rather than descent, while other tribes such as the ebiras,igalas,binis itsekiri etc have been retracing their steps our okun youths due to fear of beign termed north are busy claiming Yoruba to their own peril.pls go check old okun names and their meanings in Yoruba ulld understand better that we are not Yoruba's.names like kabba,iyara,gbedde,ilai,mopa,ejuku,jege,amuro,akutukpa,otube,agbaja,obajana,tajimi ejiba,okunran,omi,ogbom,alu,ogale,aduge,kakun,ootu,egunbe,ayangan,olle,egboro,tsado,okumi,etc are not in any way related to Yoruba.

Who is this?

What is the meaning of Offa, Ifon, Igbeti, Idanre, Igbotako, Shaare, Mahin, Iragbiji, Illishan Remo, Ikenne, Ogbomoso, Papalanto, Otta, Ibeshe in Yoruba Language?

An agent of confusion you are, you deliberately left out all the obviously Yoruba sounding name of towns in the Okun provinces of Yorubaland, nd started listing all the seemingly non-Yoruba sounding ones (which by the way 90% still very much sound Yoruba).... You didn't even mind listing hamlets of less than 500 people just to prove your vendetta.... LOL Tajimi, Ejiba, Ejuku hahaha... Those are Owooro hamlets right beside river niger......AND THEY ARE ALL IN THE YORUBA FAMILY of clans.

First, so a people can only be part of a larger group by descent? secondly, you said it yourself, Okun are yorubas, whether through acculturation or descent, it doesnt matter

I'm sure you are not Okun, because even Okun and Ekiti have such strong ties that go way back. Also it would be nice if you directed me to a link or book that reveals the archaeological artifacts you mentioned

And stop using the word "tribe" to describe these people. These are ethnic groups not tribes

You cannot use names to judge oga. By the way, those names still sound very much yoruba. If it's true that okun people greet with "okun", then they should have been lumped with Ekiti people, because they greet alike.

I am sure you do not know the meaning of most of those names you listed, just as a yoruba person will probably not know the meaning of ancient yoruba names like sango, ogun, obatala, aole, afonja, ogogonioran, obalufon, oranmiyan, moremi, shoun, timi, gbonka, and so on.

Hi, i would like to know the marriage rites and events of the yagba people. Thanks
