Nigeria: The Egun and their relationship to the Yoruba Publisher Canada: Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada Author Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board, Canada Publication Date 25 August 2000 Citation / Document Symbol NGA34665.E Reference 1 Cite as Canada: Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Nigeria: The Egun and their relationship to the Yoruba, 25 August 2000, NGA34665.E, available at: https://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6ad6e7c.html [accessed 13 January 2023] According to Falola, the Egun are an ethnic subgroup of the Yoruba (n.d). Falola states that "the Yoruba numbering over 20 million, are the second largest language group in Nigeria and one of the most populous and better-known African ethnic groups. They occupy southwestern Nigeria, and can be found elsewhere—in the Republic of Benin and Togo in West Africa and, as members of the African diaspora, in the American continent" (ibid.). Eades adds that the Yoruba homeland in southwestern Nigeria includes the whole of Lagos, Ogun, Ondo and Oyo States, and the southeastern parts of Kwara State (1980). Karade agrees that the Yoruba are found in southwestern Nigeria and "in a small portion of the southeastern part of Benin." He further states that, among other Yoruba gods, reverence is given to the "Egun," or ancestors (n.d). According to Ethnologue, Egun is also a dialect of Gun-be, a language spoken in Lagos State, Badagry Local Government Administration (LGA) and in Benin (1996, 347). References Eades, J.S. 1980.

About Badagry, the indigenous people of Lagos The coastal town of Badagry, traditionally known as Gbagle, is situated between the city of Lagos, and the border with Benin Republic at Seme. It was cut out of Nigeria in 1863 and eventually added to the state of Lagos as part of Nigeria by the United Kingdom in 1901. Being the second largest town in Lagos State, Badagry is surrounded by lakes, creeks and island, which makes beaches and resorts one of the major attractions of the ancient town. 1. Badagry is a monarchy headed by the Wheno Aholuship, a kingship head by the Akran of Badagry and his seven white cap high chiefs. The white cap chiefs administer the eight quarters which Badagry is divided into. These divisions are Ahovikoh, Boekoh, Jegba, Posukoh, Awhanjigo, Asago, Whalako and Ganho. 2. The title of Badagry’s royal father is Oba Akran, a kingship so influential that one of longest commercial avenues (a 2.14kilometere stretch) in Ikeja, Oba Akran Avenue, was named after it. 3. Badagry locals, comprising of the Aworis, Egun, Yoruba and Ogu people, are known for their hospitable disposition and their famous snack, Ajogun, made from cassava, best enjoyed with coconut water sucked from a straw plunged deep into the coconut. 4. Because of its proximity to the ocean, Badagry became the key port for export of African slaves to the Americas. Till date, there is a small museum in the building of the first Christian mission that showcases the manacles and other relics of the hugely lucrative and barbaric trade in humans. 5. Founded in the 15th century, Badagry was said to have been named from a dual corruption of Agbedegreme (which means Agbedeh’s farm in “Ogu” language) to Agbedagari and Agbedagari to Badagry by Yoruba settlers and European slave traders respectively. It is believed that Agbedeh was the famous farmer who founded the town. 6. Badagry served as the auction point for slaves captured during the inter-village warfare. Well, let's know more about this ancient tribe. Although the people belong to the Yoruba tribe of Southwest Nigeria, they speak a distinct language from the main Yoruba spoken in its land. 7. Notable Badagry indigenes Oba C. Dosa. Akran Late Oba Claudius Dosa Akran was a Nigerian politician and traditional title holder who represented Badagry in parliament in 1951 and held the title of Aholu Jiwa II of Jegba. Oba G.

Till today, Yoruba people are still confused about the origin of their ancestry. One day they are tracing their roots to Sudan, next day it's Togo, before you digest that information they'll switch to Ghana. That explains why Tinubu is confused about his origin. 2 Likes 2 Shares |
