'Obaseki’s Chief of Staff, Mr Taiwo Akerele'

Wow, so chief of staff ma yoruba man from Akoko Edo, make sense... And some people are still saying there aren't yorubas in Akoko Edo

akdjr:
The chief of staff is not Yoruba man. So if a Nigerian man answer James Johnson he's now an English Man. I named my own son Dayo. This is not actually the platform for me to educate you more about how some Akoko Edo bears Yoruba name and how Nigerians bears English and Arabic names. quote author=Haywhysat post=87686096]'Obaseki’s Chief of Staff, Mr Taiwo Akerele'

donphilopus:


He's from Igarra. Though most of the aged people there understand Yoruba perfectly. I'm also from there but I don't understand Yoruba.

johnmartus:
Are you saying the man isn't a yoruba?

misstiq:


Taiwo Akerele is my Uncle and I can categorically tell you that he is not yoruba. Our surname is Akerele, as some of us bear Yoruba surnames. We are in no way Yoruba. He bears Taiwo cos he's a twin. My name is Oziofu Akerele, both my parents are from Igarra. Does that sound like Yoruba? It's just like telling Itsekiri people that they are Yoruba because some of them bear yoruba names

KennieKingOba:
Akoko Edo is a yoruba province, they are yorubas, my former boss is also from akoko edo and hes a yoruba. Akoko edo is a place btw akoko of ondo and edo state

donphilopus:


Yes. He's from Igarra. They have their language. They speak Etuno language though most of them (especially the aged) understand Yoruba.

misstiq:


It is not. Calm down. Check Local governments of Edo State and you will see Akoko Edo. I'm from Akoko Edo, Igarra to be precise. I am not yoruba. we speak an entirely different language called Etuno.

Simbrixton:
they are yorubas so simple

Simbrixton:
it depends who ur mum and where u grew up naturally u wont want to claim yooba

misstiq:


Arguing with an Igarra person that he is yoruba? Smh. Just learn. It's that simple

misstiq:


You obviously didn't see where i said both my parents are from Igarra. I can't speak a word of Yoruba. all we speak is our native language. Stop trying to draw a point.

Simbrixton:
dere is nothing to learn mehn kerele is a yoruba man so simple and akoko edo is yoruba territory

Mmangaka:
Now it's obvious Obaseki is losing. Oshoimole should teach him lesson so that it will serve as detterance for other potential ingrates.

Simbrixton:
i couldnt speak a word of yooba and i grew up in lagos akoko edo nd itshekiri are yoruba territory anyway we have opc and opc members dere wich is all i care about arguing with a simpleton like u is a waste of my time

Simbrixton:
they are yorubas so simple

misstiq:


You actually sound like the simpleton hun. Enjoy the rest of your day. Stay safe.

donphilopus:


You now wanna tell me what tribe I belong?

I think it's better to just ignore these basic and ignorant folks. I made a big mistake by even responding to their messages in the first place.

Xisnin:

Mumu.
Who are you to tell people their tribe?

Born2Breed:


Please stop mentioning me if all you do is keep spewing ignorance.

Ogbesse people in Ovia Local Government in Edo South bear full Yoruba names but are they Yoruba's? No!!!

My relatives bear Ajayi ( pronounced Azahi in Edo) and Ojo ( pronounced Ogio in Edo) and Idowu ( pronounced Idohu in Edo). Are they Yoruba's? No. One of the Dumeren's bears Ikponwonosa does that make him a Benin? No.

Let me tell you a little story. My great grand father was a chronic polygamist and some of the wives were Yoruba's and this particular one was from Ondo. After the birth of her son, the child was always sick and she took the child to her mother in Ondo. They named him Ajayi and the name stuck, now his children and grand children who are my cousins bear Ajayi as surname. They don't understand wa or lo in Yoruba.

The proximity and inter-marriages are the reason they bear these names.

How can you argue about a state you know nothing about.

Born2Breed:


Please ignore that troll.

I made a mistake responding to (it).
