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.

So what is your claim?
Are you saying Akoko-edo are Yorubas?

easzypeaszy:
Please Igalas do not speak clear Yoruba..dey don't even understand it except dose who grew up wer dey speak Yoruba.
Only tribe that speaks Yoruba clearly in Kogi are the Okuns or Kabba as generally called.
Except OP referring to another Igalas but Kogi Igalas is out of dis yeye trend.

Igala speak a yoruboid language, that's what I mean,any one who understands Yoruba will know that igala language is yoruboid,unlike others such as Akoko-edo, ogori which aren't yoruboid yet Yorubas claim them,that's my point

Morenikeji090:
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.

But when it is mentioned that Akoko-edo is not Yoruba ,Yoruba proponents fight tool and nail to claim they are Yorubas

No be Akoko edo na Akoko mumu. Make una carry uba wahala go. Yoruba don’t claim and if Yoruba claim person na Akoko edo people go fight for themselves within edo state so dat will make support come frm Yoruba leaders if Akoko edo say they are not Yoruba we won’t give a Bleep about them

I hope so

EponObi:
"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.

They have been doing that,laying claim to Akoko-edo, ogori and Benin royalty

100%. Yoruba names are often Akin or Ogun.

You are confused and also an author of confusion. You have moved on from igala to other ones like Akoko, ogori and Benin royalty.

You don't know what you saying

Kwara and part of kogi belongs to Yoruba the old Oyo empire, in fact kwara isn't a Yoruba name but Nupe . It is an attempt by the Fulanis to lay claim to Kwara as they did to "Ilorin but will never work. If you study the map of Yoruba country before amalgamation through independence and study Nigerian map from 1960 till date, you will see it is very glaring how the North through the military era when first 12 states were determined ,you will see how much land had been systematically cut off from Kwara to merge into Niger despite the biggest part of Nigeria in terms of land mass belongs to the north. It is all an agenda from the on set to over run the indigenous people's land in the south. They already failed, you can never take indigenous people's land. Follow River Niger from 1960 map till it enters the lagoon( gulf of guinea) to the left , that is Yoruba land , well demarcated by the river . Yoruba don't lay claim to what doesn't belong to them.

Have you ever heard igala language? Very similar.

EmiloCorn:
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.

Some of them were trying to even Claim Gabon by fire by force just this morning
