YungMillionaire: They are trouble-makers. The topic did not even have ANYTHING to do with Yorubas but the idiot decided to bring my people in with their Ojukwu propaganda. You know Ojukwu propaganda - "Yoruba are cowards." But when Ojukwu saw Adekunle coming for him he dressed up as an old woman and ran to Abidjan. So who is the coward? Ibos will never produce a Fela or a Gani or a Soyinka or a Falana or an Abiola in the next 1 million generations. They are the real cowards of Africa 8 Likes 3 Shares

Yes. I have always been of the opinion that in the case of break up, the Itshekiris will do very well in a Niger-Delta Republic. The effective/mature manner the Warri crisis was eventually handled is testament to the fact the Ijaws, Urhobos and Itshekiris can work very well together IF they choose to. Although, the Ijaws might be reluctant to form a country with Bini/Edo, I think eventually both will reliance that it is in their best interest to be in the SAME country. 2 Likes 1 Share |

OP - someone mentioned that there is also some Portuguese influence. Could you please identify some of those words? I know that there are Portuguese influence with a few other languages in ND. Also do you have the names of the traditional gods of the Itshekiri people? This would be very enlightening. |

FisifunKododada: Thanks for the confidence - Fisi. Here is my opinion: Their language has an undeniable Yoruba template (based on what I have read and heard) but the people themselves culturally at some point decided to move away from their Ijebu etc. Yoruba culture and more towards a more Bini one. This is understandable since virtually every group (save Ijaw) in that region gets their cultural/political influence from their affinity to Bini. Outside of Ijaw, Bini is the biggest cultural influence in the Niger-Delta (used loosely). So, I can see how a smart Yoruba group surrounded by Bini influence would decide to assimilate culturally to the predominant culture in their new abode. But make no mistakes, many Itshekiris are still very aware of their Yoruba lineage and still respect it. Case in point - YungMill and his family. Are they members of the Oduduwa family? By blood/lineage yes. In the current state of affairs nope. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

This seems to me to be Ijebu with a slight Niger-Delta twist. OP are there SIGNIFICANT differences between the Itshekiri spoken in the various Itshekiri communities Omadino, Orugbo, Obodo etc.? 1 Like |
