I am Ake

I understand
You are Owu right?
Why are you misspelling the words "Owu" and "Alake"?
You are not wrong and I do not notice the misspellings, may be system fault.

BTW, Akure dialects is Ekiti I think, then I think Ekiti should be be written as (Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo states)

Akure is not Ekti and Akure dialect is different from that of ekiti. Akure is pure akure as a sub ethnic group of yoruba

So Emure-Ekiti, Igbara-odo are part of Akure? Do little research about Ekiti confederation history. How did Deji found himself in Ekiti Pelupelu Obas before political demarcation? The entire Akure North, South, Ifedore LGA in Ondo state have shared history with Ekitis with little ìjèsà influence just as we find in Igbara-odo, Okemesi, Efon, Ikogosi, etc.

Mr Man akure is not ekiti Kingdom pls, just like that ijesa man is trying to force akure to be part of his ijesa which is not possible
Owa obokun will not even say akure is ijesa, the whole of akure as of today is bigger than the whole of ijesa land so if we want to have a so called state with ijesa due to land akure should embrace ijesa.

Akure was never part of ur Ekiti go and read the first historical book about akure written in yoruba by Pa Atandare a man born around 1890s said akure kin se ekiti ra ati ra. The British only merged akure with ekiti because of administrative convenience not more nothing less and in 1946 wen akure separate from the British they realized it was an error to merged akure with ekiti, I know this because I'm a prince and I grow up in the Deji's palace so I have those documents in the palace archive. Akure is Akure not Ekiti abeg. The present akure is the second biggest or largest after Ibadan.

Any difference in dialect among these towns, Iju, Emure, Akure, Ijare, Igbara-oke, Igbara-odo, Ilara-moki, Ikere dialect? Same dialect but in two states. Akure North, South, Ifedore are Ekitis culturally but not in a political entity. Deji of Akure used to be part of Ekiti Pelupelu Obas.

Pls mention the times the Deji attended the pelupelu meeting the Deji then Oba Adesida1 only attend ekiti oba meeting once or twice and he complain to the british resident in akure than that he is not Ekiti and can't attend meeting of ppl he is not part of historically and the R.C and District officer that time begged him to attend until akure was removed from Ekiti in 1946. The Deji never attend any yoruba obas meeting in 1937 as ekiti Oba NO he was addressed as Deji of akure no Ekiti so why will u say akure is ekiti what nonsense is that even the ewi of Ado will not say such rubbish. Wen oore of Otun Otun Ekiti was merged with ilorin Emirate does that make him ilorin because the British merged Otun with ilorin NO so akure is not ekiti. Go read the first book written in yoruba by Pa Atandare about akure 1930s , he said akure kin se Ekiti ra ati ra

Before the Ekiti Parapo, there had been Ekiti confederal states and Pelupelu which Akure was part of, so also towns in Oke Ẹrọ and Ekiti LGAs in Kwara state (also some towns in Akoko like Irun, Ogbagi, though debatable). Ijesa was never part of this, although they are the closest group to Ekitis and they both faced the same existencial conflicts with Ibadan which gave rise to the uprising against the later referred to as Kiriji war.

We only have 5 stocks in Central Yoruba: Ife, Ekiti, Ìjèsà, Igbomina and Yagba. Can we now say Akure is with South Eastern Yoruba of Owo, Ijebu, Ilaje, Ikale, Akoko, Ondo, etc or with North Western Yoruba of Oyo, Ibolo, Owe, Egba, etc?
Among the Yorubas, the thin line that separates Ibolo from Oyo speaking group is same that separates Ìjèsà from Ekiti; they're very very close in everything. Akure have never had different identify until recently because it's the capital city of Ondo state. Go and study the culture, tradition, songs and history of a place like Igbara-Oke, Ilaramoki, Ijede, Iju, etc in Ondo state and compare with places like Igbara-odo, Ogotun, Ikere, Ise, etc in Ekiti.

It's also pathetic to see people saying Otun-Ekiti people are Igbomina (when you still have several Ekiti towns in Kwara after Otun) or Okemesi-Ekiti people are Ìjèsà. Ekiti is the only homogeneous state in the South if not in the entire Nigeria; the same stock of Yoruba people. They are only influenced in the boundary areas by Ijesa, Igbomina, Okun, Akoko, Owo and Ondo dialects of same Yoruba they belong to. The most important thing is Ekiti people understand themselves regardless the version one used unlike some parts of Akoko.


You don't know akure history Mr man obviously u Re only saying things u read online but not akure history and all those lies written by ekiti writer all in the name of they are jealous of akure cos they want akure to still be part of them after the rubbish mistake the british made by merging akure with ekiti

Tell us correct history of Akure. There's no sub-group of Yoruba called Akure. So, you want to tell me that Iju, Ijarẹ, Igbara-Oke, etc are Akure?

You lied there, what Akure is doing now was what Efon king did to their king. Tell me part of your culture, dialects, food, erekesan market, egugun, etc that's different from that of Ekiti. Everything in Akure is Ekiti. Even Idanre shares both heritage of Ondo and Ekiti. You may now want to call yourself ìjèsà, Ado-bini, chose to be new group or whatever but you were part of Ekiti confederation. History doesn't lie because of present arrogance or pride that came about because your place was chosen as provincial headquarters over Ondo, courtesy of the same Ekitis.

"...in the Ekiti Confederation, Deji Adesida was greatly missed when he pulled out of the agreement. He opted out because he could no longer tolerate Alaaye Adeniran of Efon Kingdom's humiliation and recalcitrant attitude, who during discussions did not value his age and rank. Oba Adeniran was said to be a dictator who was pompous and arrogant. A war of words, apparently over traditional seniority as descendants of Oduduwa, broke out between the aged Deji and the youthful Alaaye. The former took exception to the latter's arrogance. He warned Alaaye against power's arrogance, saying: "What you approached with a big wooden spoon is the world of honey that we elders try to lick with our finger." In years to come, Alaaye's youthful exuberance led to his waterloo.

When Deji Adesida returned to Akure, he informed the resident of the incident between him and the Alaaye and convinced him to carve Akure and the surrounding area out of Ekiti land. The resident compelled him to do so and the chord was cut."

Your Akure was historically Ekiti. Putting -Ekiti after every Ekiti town and village was something recent. Most Ekiti towns and villages in present Kwara and Ondo states don't even use it

You are right

Akure was in the Ekiti Parapo Army

and was considered part of the Ekiti Parapo

Even the Kabba and Okun People of Kogi State were classified as Ekiti in those days
