I don't even know the demonym of my state sef.
My dear ondo state? Is it necessary??

Ondo and Edo are meant to share something in common (although it's a bit controversial). The demonym is meant to be exactly the same as the name of the state. This is because there was an ancient kingdom called Ondo and the people of that kingdom are known as Ondo. (The problem is that I don't think that all the people that are from Ondo State are from that kingdom). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ondo_Kingdom

Similarly, people from Edo State are known as Edo, because there is an ethnicity known as Edo (the controversy is that I'm not sure that all the people from Edo State are from that ethnicity).
