Before the Ekiti Parapo, there had been Ekiti confederal states and Pelupelu which Akure was part of, so also towns in Oke Ẹrọ and Ekiti LGAs in Kwara state (also some towns in Akoko like Irun, Ogbagi, though debatable). Ijesa was never part of this, although they are the closest group to Ekitis and they both faced the same existencial conflicts with Ibadan which gave rise to the uprising against the later referred to as Kiriji war.

We only have 5 stocks in Central Yoruba: Ife, Ekiti, Ìjèsà, Igbomina and Yagba. Can we now say Akure is with South Eastern Yoruba of Owo, Ijebu, Ilaje, Ikale, Akoko, Ondo, etc or with North Western Yoruba of Oyo, Ibolo, Owe, Egba, etc?
Among the Yorubas, the thin line that separates Ibolo from Oyo speaking group is same that separates Ìjèsà from Ekiti; they're very very close in everything. Akure have never had different identify until recently because it's the capital city of Ondo state. Go and study the culture, tradition, songs and history of a place like Igbara-Oke, Ilaramoki, Ijede, Iju, etc in Ondo state and compare with places like Igbara-odo, Ogotun, Ikere, Ise, etc in Ekiti.

It's also pathetic to see people saying Otun-Ekiti people are Igbomina (when you still have several Ekiti towns in Kwara after Otun) or Okemesi-Ekiti people are Ìjèsà. Ekiti is the only homogeneous state in the South if not in the entire Nigeria; the same stock of Yoruba people. They are only influenced in the boundary areas by Ijesa, Igbomina, Okun, Akoko, Owo and Ondo dialects of same Yoruba they belong to. The most important thing is Ekiti people understand themselves regardless the version one used unlike some parts of Akoko.

Any difference in dialect among these towns, Iju, Emure, Akure, Ijare, Igbara-oke, Igbara-odo, Ilara-moki, Ikere dialect? Same dialect but in two states. Akure North, South, Ifedore are Ekitis culturally but not in a political entity. Deji of Akure used to be part of Ekiti Pelupelu Obas.

Its possible I know it than u

I am full blooded Ekiti and born and raised in Akure

illicit:


Yes
Akure speaks Ekiti dialect

ipodstinks:
Nope, Akure is entirely different from Ekiti.

I am from Akure

Sammy07:


I think Akure dialects is Ekiti

Sammy07:


BTW, Akure dialects is Ekiti I think, then I think Ekiti should be be written as (Ekiti, Kwara, Ondo states)

Alba3:


So Emure-Ekiti, Igbara-odo are part of Akure? Do little research about Ekiti confederation history. How did Deji found himself in Ekiti Pelupelu Obas before political demarcation? The entire Akure North, South, Ifedore LGA in Ondo state have shared history with Ekitis with little ìjèsà influence just as we find in Igbara-odo, Okemesi, Efon, Ikogosi, etc.

Which kind wahala be this one like this? How will Akure join Ijesha, Akure is far more developed than the so called Ijeshas cities/town. But if Akure is to choose today sha, it'll be Ekiti. Akure and Ekiti is similar in everything than Ijesha, be it language, culture, food, entertainment, etc.
I'm an Akure man 100%, and you can't know Akure than me. We see Ekiti as our brothers and sisters, in fact, I can say we are one!!!

Thank u

I know that cave, it was discovered by Obele
I was born and raised in Akure, I am Ekiti

scholes0:
Oga Akure was never Ijesha what are you saying sef.

Ijesha should get their lands taken by the Ibadans in Iresi, Igbajo, Ada ad the rest back and leave the Ekiti kingdom of Akure aulone.

Mr man you have a lot to learn about your history... Notwithstanding, Akure was recently carving an identity for itself which I understand. It doesn't change history. Why was Deji part of Ekiti Pelupelu or why do Ondo Ekimogun history shows that they only share boundary with Ekiti and Akoko? Tell me the differences in their culture, dialects, food and markets.

In the classification of Yoruba groups, there was nothing like 'Akure' as Yoruba group until recently.
