Thanks to this enlightened and brilliant gentleman I along with millions of other Nigerians have come to see through the hypocrisy of Yaribaas. Historically the Egun people are a distinct tribe with their own unique language,culture and history but for several decades were under the oppression of the primitive Yaribaas who even forcefully occupied their territories in Lagos, and displaced the original aborigines of Lagos (the Eguns and Awori)...these small tribes were over a period of time through intermarriage with the primtive Yaribaas and acculturation into the more dominant Yaribaa culture began to their languages, cultures and even identity until they- once again against their own will- were wrongly classified as a subgroup of the Yaribaa ethnic group by the British...for years these unfortunate facts of history were hidden and documentations on the true identity of these tribes were intentionally distorted by the Yaribaas in the old Western region, all thanks to Awolowo's "genius".

Today more facts have began to emerge about the true historical equanimity of the Egun and Awori people, two unique tribes that are very distinct from the Yaribaas...the hero of the Egun people who is telling their story assertively today is the person of David Hundeyin, an esteemed investigative journalist for that matter (so the man knows his onions). Thanks to David Hundeyin, we now know that Lagos truly doesn't belong to the Yaribaas, they were just among the early migrants to Lagos...infact the Bini people have more stakes in the ownership of Lagos than Yaribaas cause "Eko" which is a Bini word and not Yaribaa means "war camp", indicating as the name implies that parts of Lagos were once designated military outposts and camps for the Benin empire before the Portuguese came and renamed it Lagos.

I stand with the oppressed Egun and Awori people who for centuries had no mouthpiece to tell their story and be heard, today they can find solace in the fact that one of their own has now taken up the mantle to defend their history.

God bless the proud Egun and Awori people
God bless David Hundeyin

Awori are a yoruba subgroup, Ogu /Egun on the other are not yoruba group, their fathers fled Oidah in today's Benin republic to this part of the world as a result of war.

But Ogu / Egun along side Aworis and the Ijebus （aworis and ijebus are yorubas don't forget）constitute the indegenous group of Lagos.

And i want to let you all daft, unenlightened ones understand that by the virtue of proximity between two or more geographical entities , you can't stop the tribes from splitting over one another's boundaries, thereby form some percentage of an indegenous group across their respective countries or states.

That's the case every where in the world both in
boundaries within a nation and across international boundaries.

So for Lagos that doesn't even share boundary with other state apart from Ogun state, Lagos that's is absolutely covered by southwest and it's other side open into the atlantic ocean, then in your own sense , you don't expect yoruba tribe to spill over there and dominate, if that's your position, it's either you are ignorance of Geography or Geopolitics or you just want to be stupid deliberately.

Yoruba's domination of Lagos is not strange and it's not a global exception.

Let me give you some examples of tribes spreading over boundaries （proximity sake）within a nation and in international boundaries.

1. Ijebus ( Lagos , Ogun )
2. Ogu (Lagos, Ogun)
3. Yoruba (Nigeria, Benin, Togo)
4. Ogu (Nigeria, Benin , Togo)
5. Bariba (Nigeria, Benin)
6. Ekiti ( Ekiti, Kwara)
7. Nupe ( Kogi, Kwara, FCT, Niger)
8.Hausa ( Nigeria, Niger rep)
9. Kurds (India , Pakistan)
10. Kanuri (Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon)
11. Yoruba (Osun , Oyo, Ekiti, Ogun, Lagos, Ondo, Kogi , Kwara, Benin rep , Togo, plus yoruboid tribe of Itsekiri in Delta, some part of Edo)

So bottomline people will easily and naturally spread across boundaries （proximity involved）and form part of indegenous population, the boundary lines in map may put the same people in different geographical entity, but the people are the same and they will split over and cover their space.

The Egun descended from Oduduwa and Ile Ife through the Branch of the Yorubas called
the Popos led by the Olupopo who was a Son Of Oduduwa

The Egun were the offspring of intermarriage between the Fon of Dahomey and the yoruba Popos Of Dahormey and Togo

They settled in Badagry in the late 17 th Century as guests of their Awori yoruba Cousins who gave them the land they settled on when they fled from the King of Dahomey’s Wars against Ouidah which was their original homeland

Even the Fon Of Dahormey have some Yoruba Ancestry but speak an Akan Language

The Ewe ,and Ga Tribes of Benin Republic , Togo and Ghana are Of Yoruba Ancestry

and migrated from Yorubaland but now Speak the Akan Languages Of their Neigbours

The Fon Of Dahomey Conquered Part of the Yoruba Popos and assimilated with them producing the Egun

the Alaafin Of Oyo later reconquered the Fon and almost everybody in Dahomey and Togo all the Way to the

Coastal Accra Area in Ghana and defeated the Ashanti of Ghana along the Way in the days of Bashorun Gaa

Since the Alaafin reconquered the Fon and Dahomey the Eguns were under Oyos Protection

So what is your Problem ?

the Egun are our People

What happened to your Biafra ?
