He knows their story better because his story aligns with your expectations. Jokers.

If SS stays alone, it's okay.My maternal family are Urhobos and I know what they say.Itshekiris are Yorubas while Benin are Yorubas cousins.
Now if they are to choose between SW and SE, which region do you think they will prefer ?

1. Itshekeris are Edo, not Yoruba.
2. Benin is not "Yoruba cousin". (I don't think you even know what Benin is)

You are definitely not Urhobo, you guys in the southwest consume too much fairytales and know nothing about the most recent history.
The southsouth is a region, just like the southwest or the southeast. So why do you expect that there would be a situation where the southsouth would have to chose to subject itself to the southeast or the southwest ?
Are you crazy ?
Dude, also you keep forgetting how the Midwest voted to not be part of the western region anymore! Yet you think we would just want to be with you guys ?
You guys are crazy, southeast and southwest. Look, we in the southsouth do not need any of you, if anything, you need us, so shut your traps.

Itshekiri are Yorubas of ijebu ancestry. They have zero Edo ancestry. Stand on your own and stop claiming people into Benin.

Dont mind him.I deliberately ignored him.Itshekiris will never say this..Even Reno Omokri, Pa Oritshejafor even Olu of Warri attested to this.
It's the royalty alone that is from Benin.

Now how did you get to that conclusion?
Does the concept of proving your claim even have any meaning for you ?
For your information Itshekeris is older than yebou, so how the old could be the son of the young is beyond me.
Also, I'm not claiming anybody, the previous Olu of Warri made the claim himself that Itshekeris originated from Benin.
Precolonial maps show Itshekeris as being part of Benin kingdom.

And in the 1400's it is the Olu of Warri who brought the Europeans to meet his father, the Oba of Benin.
Even the attire of the Olu of Warri is a Benin attire, along with the Benin ceremonial swords.

You’re not even a real Benin. Ancient Benin were ifa people so I don’t know what kind of Benin you are with your anti Yoruba babble

🤣 You guys sniff too much fairytales in the southwest.
All you say never comes with proof.
Ife is a very new settlement compared to any city of Benin kingdom (Edda, Warri, Auchi, Lagos...). Ife was still a village in 1912 when the British started urbanising it, whereas Benin kingdom was witnessed as an empire in the 1400s. It's capital Benin city (also called Edda or Edo) is not in the sale league as Ife the village.

Irrelevant talk. I’m talking about the people and culture which you’re terrified of because you don’t even know anything about Benin

You are talking total unsubstantiated nonesense.
I like the confidence of you lots to come and make claims about my people without proof, and when I contradict you and proved claims, you tell me that I know nothing about my people...😅 Shvt the hell up, go and make your new fairytales, leave Benin out of them this time. Focus on Egypt or Arabia, you can't use my people to create your fake history in order to hide the fact your ancestors were slaves in Brazil.

Tell your people that oduduwa is YORUBA. And Lagos is yorubaland go fix that dump called Benin city and leave us alone.

Na GOD go punish you, SS Is different from SE.
Na so una use bad belle create Midwest, una go remain backward forever

There is no SE and SS, it really should be one Eastern region.

Lagos will never be "Yoruba land" and it never has been "yorubaland", you guys are migrants from dahomey and Brazil and fugitive slaves. The real owners of Lagos are Edo people, brothers of the Edo people in Benin city, Warri, Auchi, Esan...

Yes thats why they only speak yoruba,egun

OldBeer:
The government of Lagos state has begun the issuance of vital information to its populace in Egun, Yoruba and English.
Critics say this new development may not be unconnected with the 2023 elections that sprung up surprises in the state.
It is yet to be seen if this will become the modus operandi of the state going forward.

The owners of Lagos have become a minority in their own land after waves of floadinfmg by outsiders which started right from when the British took Lagos away from Benin.

I don't really understand what point you are trying to make with the governor's decision. I guess that if eleufai decides to issue vital information in fulani and english languages then it implies everybody in Kaduna speaks English or fulani language

Also, several things can explain how languages evolve, eventhough the likes of you want to equate similarity of language to common origin, to that I ask if we have common origin with the British ? This is the reason you guys were trying to force Yoruba language upon all the people of the western region and we said no !
You basically force people to learn and speak your language then you use the fact they speak your language to claim they migrated from Ife. We got out of western region and created our Midwest.


When a land is flooded by outsiders and the original inhabitants become s minority and the outsiders take over administration of most important sectors in the land, the original owners would usually learn the outsiders language.

I'm shocked o.
So Akoko Edo and Iwere Ile " Warri " will follow Benin.
Even Igala of Kogi state are telling me they are a sub Yoruba group too.
My take is, the big and small tribes can live together in this country, without one trying to suffocate the other.
Those who want to leave should be allowed, only one way though, the way out
Leave but stay out. Peace.
