Why Do The Yorubas Not Claim IGALA As Part Of Them by babasolution: 2:41am On May 21 |
The Yorubas claim olukumi in faraway delta,they claim itsekiri,they claim the royalty of Benin.They forcefully try to claim Akoko-edo and Ogori. Except the itsekiri and the olukumi who have verifiable Yoruba links ,the others have little or no link with the Yoruba originally except for recent yoruba naming convention of the Akoko-edo and Ogori. But the problem is this, Why do the Yorubas fail to claim an obvious group who speak a clear yoruboid language- IGALA. I have never heard any statement from prominent Yoruba proponents incorporating the igala into Yoruba identity. The igala in my opinion are strongly related to the okun Yoruba and oworo. The igala claim a borno/ jukun origin,with relations with the kanuri. There are claims by some Yoruba historians that the Yoruba are related to the kanuri also. More research needs to be done on the igala Yoruba relationship. I believe the igala will expose the false claims that Yorubas are from ile-ife. It will expose the fallacy that the ogori, Akoko Edo and Benin royalty are from Yoruba. The above groups do not speak any yoruboid dialect,but are forcefully labelled Yoruba by Yoruba proponents. yet a group that speaks clear yoruboid language( the IGALA) is never labelled as Yoruba is it just because they don't bare common modern Yoruba names? 6 Likes |

All these Igbos with their attachee by force nature This one has set bait, once we yorubas deny claims to the igala people they will immediately swoop in to chance us and claim them in kogi We know the game plan and I say (on behalf of my yoruba people) that we and igala are one End of story. 16 Likes 1 Share |

When the ancestors make a law, they put penalties for breaking the law. The Yoruba also claim Benin, the Ooni has never visited Edoland , this is because he must pay some homage to the Benin oba as his subject and this will confirm what we have always known, in order to prevent this, he will rather not visit 1 Like |

Yoruba opened a thread about why they aren't claiming Igala they have been attempting to claim since time immemorial and another Yoruba started calling Igbo inside same thread. This one na ethnic multipolar disorder. 6 Likes |

babasolution: This is just a lot of nonsense Yoruba do not 'claim' Akoko Edo, outside the fact that they bear Yoruba names they don't actually speak the language or share any part of the culture, but when people hear the names, the Yoruba origin question inevitably comes up. Itshekiri and Olukumi people trace their origins to Yoruba land themselves, they self-identify. Igala people do not 5 Likes |

babasolution: That's not true. Everyone knows the Akoko Edo people only bear those names because of intermarriage and trade, in fact huge swathes of Yoruba land were under Benin rule for a long time e.g. on Ikere Ekiti where the Ogoga who used to be the resident tax administrator for Benin kingdom now claiming to be a royal king...the exact se situation with so-called Oba of Lagos 1 Like |

"claim"? You must have some loose bolt in your brain. The Yorubas are not easterners who lay claim to people and what doesn't belong to them. 5 Likes |

Yoruba don’t claim or force to be loved.. we are courageous e.t.c and our Yoruba heritage is well recognized in this world. So we are too big to force someone to love us coz our ancestors and heritage speak a lot of great history’s about us. 2 Likes |

babasolution:most of us in akoko edo didn't only bear Yoruba names but can speak it. Only mostly the younger one who can not speak but can understand many, when Yoruba person speaks. Till today all the orthodox churches like Anglican interpret in Yoruba language in our local government. We also share some aspect of Yoruba, Amala is very common, owambe also, and then education cos many of our parents benefitted from Awolowo's free education, during our parties we play mostly Yoruba songs and the like of Ayefele, sunny ade, shina peter and others Yoruba highlife musicians have performed in my town and other town too. 5 Likes |
