aworis are yorubas, eguns are not

Perhaps you're new to nairaland, this issue has been thrashed countless times in the past. The Eguns, although not initially Yoruba, were conquered and became subject to Oyo rule in the Oyo Empire. By assimilation, their descendants became Yoruba citizens. Just like the children of African slaves are now Americans in the US.

masseratti:
please after the fall of oyo empire the eguns raided egbaland, it was only abomey that was under the subjugation of oyo empire not the other egun parts, oyo was called an empire for a reason just like bini was called an empire and not a kingdom, from what You just said i could as well call the Yorubas in Lagos, the uhrobos, ijaws, itsekiris down to some places in rivers bini or edo people just because they were once in their history under the rule of bini empire, oh wait don't go too far, Ilorin people are fulani then right?
