Ereolamide:
Can you guys stop talking politics, let's celebrate our brothers from the other side of the divide, the itshekiri tribe has shown us the extent and influence of the Yoruba race,we even have Yorubas in benin, Togo and Ghana, are they lesser Yoruba if they are given other identity by the whites or other africans, even the Yoruba tag is an identity that separates us from a larger pool of homogeneous people.

Another tribe in Nigeria similar to Yoruba after itsekiri is Igala.
CultureRe: I Want To Learn Itsekiri Language (get In) by AkinPhysicist: 2:13am On Jul 08, 2017
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.
CultureRe: I Want To Learn Itsekiri Language (get In) by AkinPhysicist: 2:06am On Jul 08, 2017
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.

Yes o! Anyone who thinks I will deny my Yoruba heritage must be smoking something. Some of the denial is politics. I have lived to long in Europe to give a fvck about politics. My grandpa's father told him a our ancestors migrated from present day Ogun State. That's why I will be visiting that state when I next visit Naija. I am an Itshekiri from Delta State but that will NEVER make me deny my Yoruba ancestors God forbid

Its more complicated than that but I agree. Itshekiris are now a distinct group.

FisifunKododada:
Akin - you are one of the few honest guys on NL so I will ask you this question: How Yoruba do you think the Itshekiris are? And do you consider them members of the Oduduwa family?
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.

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.?

Banning certain individuals from the political scene is an option, but that may go against the Constitutional right to vote and be voted for.
We can also enshrine in the Constitution that all individuals and political parties of the "old Republic" banned.
also any new party must have a political manifesto in line with the political spectrum (left wing and right wing) b4 dey are registered
Interesting. Also, we could make the most mischievous among them ambassadors - send them out of the country, where the would be less likely to do damage. However, things might become a little complicated if we are dealing with a federal system. This is why, the real progressives of Yorubaland must be at the fore-front of writing up the constitution.

Yes i believe in the Constitution, a well drafted one void of loopholes can go a long way. Having one is not the issue, but the individuals who will draft it.
You talked about progressive minds, but you think the political class of the "Old Republic" will simple die out. they will still be here now stuck with us, when not trying to lead they will may be pulling the strings. Who will give the progressive the chance and how can we know them??

i may sound paranoid but i Still think we need a political class rebirth.
Just because you are paranoid does not mean you are not right. I agree with you. We have to be wary of them. We cannot completely sideline them but there are things we can do to considerably minimize their power especially when it comes to the writing of the constitution - this is were it starts. In addition, I am of the opinion that the average Yoruba is a progressive. So, it would be relatively easy for progressives to take on the mantle of leadership of the new nation.
PoliticsRe: Draft Of The Oodua Region Yoruba Constitution by AkinPhysicist: 10:00pm On Jul 01, 2017
The overriding principle must be: The smoothest possible transition. This is how, I think it should apply to the areas you have raised.

Dalek:
One thing that has always bother me tho are:
1) Changing our currency: Do we change it immediately without notice like the Indian did to flush out hidden looted cash or just change it incrementally knowing other nations of the B.A.D(Biafra, Arewa, Delta) regions have the naira and can bring dem here to change to dollars.
Currency is too sensitive an issue to be done immediately. A gradual phasing in of the new currency should be adopted. And you are right, this is best done in collaboration with our neighbors.

Dalek:
2) is it possible we keep the name nigeria (Western Republic of Nigeria) cuz of bilateral reasons, i believe if we keep the name we can easily get allies from other nations.
Name change can be done immediately (relatively speaking). After the constitution is written the name change should be able to go into full effect within a year or so.

Dalek:
3) what will happen to our previous political classes who damned us,dey will surely come back to try and rule.
solution: Military government, we arrest all past leader, create a public panel a la oputa panel. we strip dem of dere wealth and redistribute it.
This is not necessary. In fact could be counter-productive if not properly managed. Our focus should be the constitution. If it is well done and articulated, the structures would be in place to make sure that the old Nigerian mentality does not flourish in the new country.

Dalek:
yes I know thats a bit radical, but think of it can we really avoid the political corruption that plagued dis nation without a clean slate protocol. a Pro-yoruba military council can do that. we need iron hand in this country and we know it.
What is most important is a progressive vision and strong-willed men and women who are fully committed to carry it to fruition.

YOU'V NOT GOTTEN MY DRIFT ...OK let it go like this from all you'v known give me just one example of a county that separated without war JUST ONE and i wil giv you numerous examples of those that their situation isn't as tolatile as ours but still went to war before they finally got separated...
Trust me - I get your drift. But you still have not address my point about inevitability. What if the Balkanization of Nigeria is inevitable? Do we then fold our arms and refuse to prepare? Think about it. Sometimes, the forces that hold a country together no longer can. When the inevitable happens you must be ready to move forward. Part of that involves doing EVERYTHING you can to minimize the likelihood of war.

The hausas might not agree. If Yoruba, Igbos and Niger-Deltans leave, there will be no war. As far as we know our boundaries
I agree that Southern Unity will minimize the likelihood for conflict with the North. But, this idea that Northerners are any less separatists is a myth. There are thousands of Mohammed Yusufs (the non-militant founder of Boko Haram) in Northern Nigeria. I am talking of Muslim leaders who desire a Muslim ONLY country. The Arewa Youth that gave ultimatum to Igbos are also sick and tired of one Nigeria.

Your story of the people you met in Brazil spoke to me.
I tell you, I was greatly moved. It took a great deal of self-control to hold back tears. Their thirst for knowledge about the culture is deep and genuine. And they truly want to look up to us to help guide them in their journey.

9jakool:
The funny thing is while these people are yearning hard to claim their Yoruba/African ancestry that was robbed from them, some of our own people are knowingly throwing away their identity.
Indeed. But make no mistakes. Our connection across the Atlantic will be repaired. It is only a matter of time. But first, there must be a cultural revolution within the core Yoruba enclave of SW Nigeria. And you shouldn't be surprised when I say that these Yorubas in South America, Carribean and West Indies are gonna play a major role in this revolution.
