sjeezy8: itsekiris arent yoruba but have strong yoruba influences in their culture and language. its not the same as the agbor/igbanke/igbo thingy because neither yorubas nor itsekiris worry themselves unduly over whether they're related or not, to the best of my knowledge. Each side faces it's own daily hustle. and itsekiri do not have yoruba names. They have itsekiri names which sound yoruba but are uniquely itsekiri. ishans used to be bini, i think. I wouldnt be surprised if they only separated from benin after the british conquered the city in 1897 and laid it waste. |

I mean it shows, some people say they are yoruba and they are CLEARLY NOT and some say they arent yoruba when they CLEARLY are. Yorubas have never been One and all have different origins some are mixed with fulani, nupe hausa , some are mixed with edo, some even mixed ijaw and dont know it. some are msulim some a re chirstian some are shango worshippers itsekiri people are mixed- their own ethnicity what ever it may be its not a big deal- carry on ijebu people who want an ijebu state, even OONI of ife wants an Ife state even after IBB gave him Osun. Continue to break up states- ko matta |

sjeezy8: its mainly aloy emeka trying to scatter nl as usual by saying they're yoruba. i dont think most people consider such things that important. neither is anyone claiming the yorubas have ever been one. It's just not possible, imo. people may be confusing their personal relationships and/or family histories with overall yoruba politicking. |

itshekiri people are related to yoruba via ancestry and language .however they are not yoruba in the traditional sense of the word .similarity and sameness are not the same. secondly they also have elements of edoid /edo culture this does not also make them edo .all these mixtures along with their geographical location have given rise to what we now know as the itshekiri ethnicity.as i have always posited ethnicity , also has a lot to do with identity .the itshekiri have always identified themselves as a seperate ethnicity even before the coming of the white man.i do not believe the yoruba have ever tried to dominate the itshekiri .the same logic goes for the ikwerre and other groups in delta states whom the igbo are forcefully trying to claim .if they see themselves as seperate from the larger igbo nation then so be it.however it seems our igbo brothers always get extra mad when the ikwerre say they are not igbo {udezue,ezeagu ezeuche and andrew uweh take note}.it is really up to them to identify themselves as they please ,considering the fact that they also have mixed ancestry and ,origins and some do bear edoid names .by the way why do you all get so mad when these people say they are not igbo ? i really dont see yoruba people get mad when the itshekiri say they are not yoruba.afterall there has never been a composite igbo empire prior to the coming of the british. |

udezue: gladly my dear udder zit An udder is an organ formed of the mammary glands of female quadruped mammals, especially ruminants such as cattle, goats, sheep and deer. The udder is a single mass hanging beneath the animal, consisting of pairs of mammary glands. In cattle there are normally two pairs, in sheep, goats and deer there is one pair, and in some animals such as pigs there are many pairs. |

ama-diva: About the Ikwerre First, it is not up to them to say what they are and what they are not. When God created them, He did not ask them who they wanted to be. He just created them Igbo. The only way you'll know who belongs to what ethnic group in Nigeria is the name and what language the name comes from. Anybody whose name is Amadi or Onyeri, or Eke, or Odili, Wanodi (Nwanodi) does not need to tell you who he is. He is Igbo, his politics notwithstanding. -Duru Akwukwo III Ndi Umuohiagu |
Re: Yoruba Have Never Been One -awujale by AloyEmeka5: 6:48am On May 18, 2010 |
ama-diva: Same way there are igbos who do not give a hoot if an ikwere person is igbo or not. I have also seen the likes of Udezue and co in yorubaland who gets mad at the sound of Ijebu or Itsekiri not being Yoruba. Becomerich/Becomericha is one of them.Besides, I don't see why you should lump the whole igbos together because of Ezeuche and co. Statistically, igbos are the least in Nigeria when it comes to ethnic identity; they are more likely to judge you individually than your ethnic identity so, i don't see why you should turn the table around as it suits you. |

For those who want to die, let them go an die. I repeat, [size=16pt]ITSEKIRIS ARE YORUBAS.[/size] |
Re: Yoruba Have Never Been One -awujale by amadiva1: 8:47am On May 18, 2010 |
@aloy emeka and ezeuche .firstly i hope you realise that the Good Lord did not name any ethnicity .from what my bible tells me Adam gave names to animals and his wife eve but no ethnic group was named {go figure ].secondly how has what Ive said suit me? i have used the same argument for both itshekiri and the ikwerre/delta igbo groups.lastly you have just buttressed my sentiments with your outbursts. @ ALOYWHEELS OR ALOYEMEKA remember NL is a place where people express opinions and that's exactly what it remains so please nobody is going to die if you call itshekiris yoruba .if i have generalised about the igbo forgive me but it seems that is the opinion of most igbo on NL. |

I do not care where the Itsekiris are from, as long as they are not igbo, I'm fine. I was in Ghana not too long; when I attempted to change my naira to the local currency I was turned down. I was told that the Igbo boys have messed things up in Ghana just like in the rest of the world. They print fake naira,and fly to Ghana to go shopping. As far as I'm concern, less Igbo in Nigeria less 419 super stars. |

Depilot: That was an unnecessary digression. |
