OlujobaSamuel: Having a dialect doesn't mean one do not belong to an ethnic group, eg, ijebu, egba, awori, ijesha, ondo, etc, has their dialect that you won't even get any idea when communicating around you, yet they are Yorubas. NB: I'm not saying the Okuns are or are not Yoruba, I don't really know much about Kogi, just aware that there are some Yorubas there
Judolisco: lol... Who and who are the yoruba people that are yet to accept us....d only issue is that we are not in the west.... That's d only issue... I don't need any endorsement from any ooni... I have my own Olu and we speak Yoruba and have Yoruba names and culture
Just like some ethnic groups in Delta State but that does make them Yoruba sir.
yummy001: The Okuns(A Yoruba sub-ethnic group) have their own own dialect same way other Yoruba sub-ethnic groups like the Ijebus, Egbas, Ekitis, Ijesas have theirs.. A dialect is a genre of a language.. If you go to England, different parts have their own dialects same way the Enugu dialect of the Igbos might be different from Anambra people..
It does not invalidate the fact that the Okuns migrated from ancient Ile-Ife just like most Yoruba sub-ethnic groups to the present day Kogi State. In fact, there is a town called Iffe(coined from the word Ile-Ife but spelt with the double "f"...) in Okun land. Please stop displaying your ignorance in the public space.
I partially agree with you with the language thing. I am from Ife in Kogi (different from Iffe you mentioned). But note that all you wrote has not validated Okun as yoruba. We definitely have a link with yoruba like many other ethnic group within and outside Kogi but that doesn't make them Yoruba. Note finally that Okun are yet to be formally accepted by Yoruba land as Yoruba. Some group in Okun are agitating for the inclusion.
Please withdraw your statement labelling me as ignorant sir.
Judolisco: oga, ekiti, ondo, Ijebu etc all have their dialect and they are Yoruba.... Oga na u no knw anything.... I'm also okun... Ijumu local government to be precised.... So nothing u wan tell me about my region
If you are Okun as you claimed, are you aware that the Yoruba people are yet to accept Okun as Yoruba, their was a meet with Oni of Ife last year(2024) in that regards. I might not be saying the truth so do small research and know more.
Judolisco: Kwara is 90% Yoruba and I challenge anyone to tackle me on dis, kogi has a majority Yoruba tribe in the west, Dino melaye, smart adeyemi, deji adeyanju, and abiodun faleke, are all from dis region..... North-Central zones has a lot of diversity in terms of language as many tribes fall into dis zones..... It amazes me that instead of looking at competence in 2025,some people are still playing regional politics.....
I am from Kogi(Okun), this people have their dialect other than yoruba. You know nothing sir.
This is all I came to check. I wanted to know if na only me found her unattractive. She is lucky but she doesn't know. Some men won't even at her side for a minute. I am sure her ex treated her bad because the man wey dem dey like no dey marry dem. Na victims dey marry this kind gels. Why come to talk about your husband's private matter in public!
Some men don't know their worth. Even if her husband is worthless, private should be private na.
floss: The lord says you must transfer 100k naira to my account to help continue his work…..
I want you to do that as quickly as you can, don’t keep the lord waiting… if not you won’t make heaven and you’ll go to hell.. Don’t question the lord, because it’s only a fool that says in his heart, there’s no God.
I’m waiting so that I can send the means you can send the money
I bet that girl loves attention. From the first appearance I knew it. That guy shouldn't be deceived, that girl can slaughter a dog while she was in the village but as fine boy dey involve, monkey has become a threat to her life.

Sonnobax15: Any bottled water......Her doctor told her to stop drinking water from sachet...
That is the problem. Raising yourself with pure water is far better than the bottle water. Their are many people who take what is worse than pure water and they are doing great and get what! Their immune is far better than those drinking pure water and bottle. Don't be deceived by the West, they are envious of our immunity trust me. Some(many) western scientists are working on Africa gene. Some of them are studying the benefit and application to humanity while other are trying to use it for political gain by suppressing it and subduing us with it. I won't say more but you can use your tongue to count your teeth.
Glimpsetv: This video has gotten a lot of people talking online. In the video, a supposedly sick man with a twisted mouth and closed eyes was brought in like a mannequin by some men in white. A man in a black suit then laid his hand on him, and the man suddenly fell to the ground. A few moments later, he woke up, spoke, and demonstrated his healing while the people cheered. Well, it's important to know that for anything called fake, there must have been an original.
Let me leave you to watch the full video, drop your thoughts in the comments.
Glimpsetv: A lady was shocked to see a Hausa man who sells stock fish in the market pouring Sniper on the pile of stock fish he was selling. The woman, who was at the market to buy fish, couldn't hold back her concern and, for health reasons, decided to advise the man to stop adding Sniper to the stock fish. The man replied, "There's no fish in Nigeria that they don't add this medicine to," referring to Sniper as medicine.
To be certain, the woman asked the man to show her what he was calling medicine, and to her surprise, the fish seller brought out Sniper and showed it to her.

xin5: A girl I am currently seeing is telling me the cost of her bride price is #120 that once I pay that..20 naira will even be handed back to me because she is not for sale. I asked her if that's all for the traditional marriage.. she said from there if we want to do big ceremony it's our choice. I think I am about to be scammed into marriage, something I might regret in the long run.. and I still wonder why her elder brother is still single (in his 40s) if marriage is cheap over there.
I wouldn't want a case whereby after doing that I will be presented an unexpected list of things to provide.
She's from the south. I want confirmation if this is true
Most south-west take peanut for bride price not to make their daughters look like commodities as she is believed to be priceless.
