Here is a video of an Ogu, Agbaosi Sevezun, from Badagry speaking on public TV where she reasserted her identity to be Ogu or Gunu/GNU.
Fast forward to 6:47 and enjoy.

Please note, I did not say the Ogus are not Yoruba. They said it themselves. Please don't come here pointing fingers at me.

The Ogu people are beginning to restore their language and customs. Their ethnic consciousness is starting to rise in numbers. Lagos is their native homeland, [b]which makes up 15% of Lagos state. [/b]They are also found in Ipokia LGA of Ogun state.

Ogus are not Yorubas. They have their own native language which is not a yoruba dialect. You are confusing native yoruba dialects such as Egba, ijesha etc with Ogu. In this case Ogu isn't a Yoruba dialect but a different language of its own. Just because they are bilingual in. Yoruba doesn't mean they are Yorubas. Their blood brothers are in Benin republic where they speak the Fon dialect of Gbe languages and the Ogu people speak the Gun dialect. Please educate yourself. They are not Yorubas.

blueskies:
am not talkin about whether they'r yorubas or not in dis context, wat am sayin is u tryin to prove an irrelevant point by askin him to interpret that dialet, like I said der ar many dialets in d yorua lang. I may understand one and b able to pen it down but I may nt b able with another. That doesn't make any of d folks dat speak dese dialets less yoruba. That point u made is invalid

Lajet:
Half of Lagos state land belong to Egun Tribe . Please my Yoruba brothers should stop causing trouble and respect there host.

mohemos:
I am an Egun, we are not Yoruba although we are categorized under Yoruba in term of WAZOBIA just as south south are categorized under Igbo and Fulani under Hausa.
Our Language has no similarities with Yoruba. We dominate Badagry & some part of Ojo area of Lagos, we are also at some part of Ogun state. Our language is closer to Republic of Benin than Nigeria.
My Egun name is MIFIRINSO (Remember tomorrow in whatever you're doing) and HENNUHO ( The family's Speech )

Bigfrancis21, So Lagos doesn't belong to Yoruba's indeed?

Indeed Yoruba's are limited to Ekiti, Ondo, Part of Kwara, Osun, Oyo and Ogun.

#Wonderful.

You are not an Awori,no Awori person claim to be yoloba,even Ijebus link their ancestry to Sudan, A Yoruba person can't hear Awori language. Egun language is entirely different from yoloba language.They have Awori and Egun news on LTV before, their language sound some how not related to Yoruba

Olu317:
Don't mind candyDiamond, he thinks like a proper Ibo boy who has no true knowledge of history but a fabricated one to suit themselves. I have hardly seen any group that the Ibos claim as part of their group or tribe and NOT DENY them. Nobody want to identify with Ibos of the south East despite the fact that some people bears Ibo names outside the south East. Yoruba will always be Yoruba from the central part of Nigeria either in Kabba region even around Lokoja to kwara Ilorin which has an Emir, still,the indigene always continue to lay claim to Yoruba Race, down to part of edo state ibiilo, part of Akoko Edo, Delta state, precisely olukumi's and environs as well as itsekiri land. Can't they see with their eyes?, Awori owns a large portion of Lagos. How come some people with Igbos will say Lagos is no man's Land. Stupid and unlettered Igbos' generation with no sense of projection for the future

iamdotune:
you are a fool.. I'm awori, Aworis are Yoruba even the yoruba most ppl speak is a secondary awori... Aworis originated from Oyo which they settled in Lagos before the prince of Benin came to Lagos and they made him their leader.. They made Lagos their barracks and named it Eko which means barracks in Egun, before the Portuguese mercenaries named Lagos after a place in their country just cause it looks the same

Story for the gods. Itsekiris, Ogu and Igalas are not Yorubas. Aworis, Ijebus, Ikales etc deny being Yoruba. That's the status on ground.

False history. The binis conquered Lagos and gave it the name, 'ere eko' or 'eko' for short. Why do you people like re-writing history or what? Eko comes from bini and not Yoruba.
