So who are the original inhabitants of Yoruba land today in Nigeria? igbos?

Moving back doesn't mean going back Benin but simply moving back to the root. To where you guys rightly belonged.

That's the right step to go.

Your kiths and kind locked out by border closure shouldn't suppose to be..

So moving "back" to where we already "occupy"?

Does that makes sense to you?

y3mi:
Still inaccurate, but commendable effort.

Just look away, if you can't provide the inaccuracies in the post

Interesting

I can't see offa and iseyin here . These two towns are significant in yoruba land.

Stop feigning Ignorance to simple message. Your empire. involve both today Benin republic.

But today in another Nation or country.


Yorubas should move to return to their once collapsed empire and rebuild it again.

Nehemiah did so after years spent under foreign rule.

So if our empire includes parts of today Benin republic, We should abandon our lands in Nigeria and move where?

Please face your own whala I dont have stress this evening. Carry your problem go somewhere else.

Before Yoruba empire ended was there anything like Nigeria. Is it on same lands there empires were and waxed.

You're not leaving but returning back to old system of ruling yourself and reuniting with your kiths and kind in Benin republic and Togo.

So was Nigeria created out of thing Air or what?

Anyways, Yorubas never wanted to be split into different countries in the first place, we were forced into this union.

So our Reunion with our brothers will be welcomed.

Then force yourselves out if truly you were forced.

Me I don't understand this your own Yoruba language o!

ZombieHUNT:
They should all go back to Benin Republic.... Where they were originally from...

Just like Fulani
Those guys migrated Into this country

There was no history of kingdom in igbos land.

You sound like you can practically smell abandoned lands for you to takeover.

Lolz.

See them concocting lists.

Originally from here, and you remained land lock and refugees.

As far as we didn't fall from the sky like Oduduwa...is okay

Sky means northernly direction, dont be obtuse

You wouldn't include a sky narrative if your migration was from another point.

I saw my town isheri- olofin alimosho local govt lagos state and truly ogunfuminire was the founder this validates the list.

Straight to my archive

Land locked?...
Why do you think Rivers State is called Rivers

Simongm:

These towns are now refers to as Okun Yoruba(Kogi west) and pushed to the middle belt for political reason.
Its really affecting us in so many ways, We will surely join our kith and kin one day...no doubt.

Op provide link please. I want to read more about No. 58(I rep Gbede), the present Ijumu LGA in Kogi state.

Pls include Itsekiri of Delta State.

1. Not to resettle the displaced but to move & relocate the entire Modakeke settlers out of Ile-Ife. A window of opportunity for a lasting peace that was eventually ruined.

2. Obaloran is from Ilode quite alright but Ilode is not in Iremo. Ilode & Iremo are entirely different quarters.

AworiLagosian:


Pls, this Ode-Usen / Ufe kekere that the Okitipupas claim they came from sounds cunningly similar to Usen town in Edo state. Funny enough, their Oba there is called Elawure. It is in Edo after Okada town or after Ifon/Okeluse.

Is it the same one?

Prof Ogen who I think is from that geographical space wrote a paper on your Q, you can DL it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/xxodzeu2z5an63m/Exploring%20the%20Potential%20of%20Praise%20Poems%20for%20Historical%20Reconstruction%20among%20the%20Idepe-%20Ikale%20in%20Sout.pdf?dl=0

....

Olori pupupu.......

This pure land grabbing. When did Yorubas arrived delta state.

Also I didn't see Edo or Bini here which under full circumstances must be here.

Scholes you did a nice work here but add Edos/binis here. They are part of greater Yoruba tribe.


If Delta is there then ,Edo should be there and thus indisputable.

Make your research sound without fear of reaction.




Then all of you should think of when to move back to Benin republic and Togo.

Only the Bini monarchy & certain Bini chiefs have Yoruba origin. Before the Yoruba encounter, Edo folks existed & after the encounter, the Edo folks continued to exist. Edo is Edo, they're not Yoruba.

Edo can't be Edo.

Where did they come from?

Who are they?

History shows Edos are Yorubas.... because there is no how you will discuss the history of Edos without Yorubas...#Fact

Number 20 is a big fcking lie.

Ibadan sprung up organically as an IDP refugee camp catering to fleeing Yorubas from across the empire owing to the Fulani invasion .

Can someone give us account of how different Yoruba towns came with their different dialects?

History shows only the king & few chiefs are of Yoruba origins. Only a part of the political & art history of Edo ties with that of Yoruba. There's no need to appropriate.

At a later point, yes but these fleeing groups came to a city founded & administered by the Ife & an admixture of non-Ife Yoruba led by Lagelu the first Maye.
