please stop taking weed. There is no Yoruba tribe in my Edo state but some part of the state like my local government speaks Yoruba as a distant third language especially by old people as this current generation can hardly speak a word. All the names you mentioned have nothing to do with Yoruba but their names. It's just like saying anyone that's bears English name is from England
You're a liar. My mum is from ikirun. And they are Yorubas. They came from Ile Ife in osun state. Even ekpedo, epe are all Yoruba towns in akoko Edo

His mother is from Edo but she is yoruba. There are yorubas in edo state, iyabo ojo, Olumide apata, dele muomodu etc are all yoruba from edo state.

Burna boy is more yoruba than any tribe, i doubt he speaks other Nigerian language aside yoruba
Iyabo ojo is not Edo

You are free to open this kind of i’d.0tic thread but I have problem when you begin to portray a false identity and drag others into your nonsense.

When I saw the topic I knew there’s no way you can come from Rivers State. Rivers people don’t display this level of stupidity and repulsive imbeci.lity.

Why are you ashamed of your Imo State and Igbo identity?

Ikirun is an akoko area of Ondo State. Your mum is yoruba cos Ikirun is not in Edo state.

I think Ikirun is under akoko sowth west LGA with H/Q in ikare.

Nigerian, they follow their ancestry and not their current culture.

All our superstars are Fela's descendants by inspiration (the Yoruba weed smoking Fela).

Anyone that speak Igbo can be from the pit of hell fire no one cares.

BlackhatMentor:


So any one who speaks Yoruba now is Yoruba?


But you Yorubas will fight tooth and nail to claim those who speak and carry Igbo names in Delta and Rivers aren't Igbos.


All this double standards just to steal an artist 🤣🤣🤣🤣


I bet if Burna boy was useless and a criminal you people will reject him and even Tag him a Fulani man

I have met many Akoko Edos that are from Edo who call themselves Yoruba and they have Yoruba names. Akoko people are also in Ondo State.

The postal code of the area is 312. The towns include Atte, Igarra, Enwan, Aiyegunle, Ugboshi-Afe, Ugboshi-Ele, Ekpesa, Ibillo, Ikiran-Ile, Ikiran oke, Ekor, Somorika, Lampese, Imoga, Ojah, Uneme-Akiosu, Ososo, Akuku, Ojirami-Dam, Imoga, Eshawa, Ojirami-Peteshi, Ojirami-Afe, Dagbala, Makeke, Ekpe, Ekpedo, Bekuma, Okpe, Ogbe, Onumu, Akpama, Anyonron, Ogugu, Ikakumo, Ijaja, Oloma, Uneme-nekua, Ikpesh

Out of the list, Yoruba towns are: Aiyegunle, Ikiran-Ile, Ikiran Oke, Ikakumo (some parts are in Ondo), and Anyonron.

His mother is from Edo but she is yoruba. There are yorubas in edo state, iyabo ojo Mercy Aigbe, Olumide apata, dele muomodu etc are all yoruba from edo state.

Burna boy is more yoruba than any tribe, i doubt he speaks other Nigerian language aside yoruba

Please note as well that Dele Momodu is not full blooded Yoruba man. His mother is a Yoruba woman from Gbongan in Osun state while his father actually came from Ihievbe in Owan East LGA of Edo state. Dele Momodu was however born and raised in Ile Ife,Osun state. He has his first and second degree in Yoruba language. It will not be out of place though to call Dele Momodu a Yoruba man because he is actually one !


About the topic,Yoruba don't even need to claim Burna Boy,he is the one proudly associating with the Yorubas. Yoruba don't have these inbred inferiority complex like the Op's people,we are blessed by God in all spheres of life.

Nobody needs to argue with anyone concerning Akoko Edo people,whatever Akoko Edo people call themselves is who or what they are ! Yoruba are bigger than any attache by force nonsense ! My friend's mum,Iya Dupe, is from Akoko Edo and she is proudly Yoruba. So,those who think the old woman is not Yoruba or shouldn't be Yoruba should go and meet her in her husband's house in Osogbo and iron it out with her ! I'm very sure that she will have some very nasty and unpleasant things to say to those idiots.

The Op is Igbo though,I'm not surprised that he left his own Osu's status and begin to dabble into another people's identity. Anyway, a slave must always behave like one !

That they speak Yoruba doesn't make them Yoruba by tribe.


Many tribe in south south speak Igbo doesn't make us Igbo.


I'm from Rivers state and we speak Igbo


It's language of trade.


Nothing concern Edo with Yoruba


Burna boy promotes Yoruba music due to the influence of Fela and his mom.


Also you're wrong


Where his dad is from is where he is from... His dad is a Rivers man.


Very from from Yoruba


Hehehe

Any body that is from Akoko-edo and tells you they are Yoruba is lying to you,probably to win favor from Yorubas,Akoko-edo is completely non Yoruba
