PhysicsQED: I didn't say it was necessarily made up, but I just don't take everything you say on here (NL) at face value anymore, since you did spend a lot of time on here pretending to be from different ethnic groups (Kanuri, Kanuri +Igbo, etc.).

And so I MEAN how does that change the facts i have stated

PhysicsQED: Stop distorting the meaning of my posts. I don't see how or why Obanikoro or Eletu chiefs would be claiming to be Edo because of a presumed Edo origin centuries ago and I don't see what relevance that has to anything I've been saying to macof or other posters in this thread.

I don't recall commenting in any way on "the relationship Yoruba groups had before the formation of Nigeria," where Benin "went through" or the issue of a "hand of friendship" from other groups in this thread. I also don't recall "ringing" anything into anyone's ears. In fact, I had been ignoring this thread for a while to see if it the discussion would resolve itself without the possibility of me having to comment, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. When I did comment, it wasn't to attack anybody or drill anything into anyone's ears, but to express disagreement. And for you to even characterize my discussion with macof where I simply disagreed with him over his numerous attempts to deny that Edo was an ethnic group (that is not a "hand of friendship" whether you want to admit it or not) as "ringing" something into your ears or "antagonizing" anybody is annoying. If you can't assess my posts dispassionately within the context of the thread without reading non-existent offense into inoffensive statements, then don't bother commenting towards me in this thread.

Why are you animated ? what is annoying you ? the question is how is edo ethnic group different from ekiti or akoko ?

what qualifies them as an ethnic group ?

coolest01: calm down. Im from akoko edo...ojah is the name of my village,close to ososo.people that know that area of edo state will know that akoko edo people although edo state by origin have close ties with the akoko people from ondo state(yoruba). We the akoko edo people especially from ojah have a different language entirely differnt from the benin or the yoruba. We even borrowed more words from the yorubas than from other edo tribes. Hence,we are very capable of speaking yoruba fluently

Oga thank you oh. that is the point macof and i have been trying to pass across to him. As macof said, who are the yorubas

it is noy about common languge but about common history

heck my native language is different from oyo or ekiti. i am awori- egun

egu is different from egba

akoko is different from owo

infact the closes language ties are itsekiri and ijebu

PhysicsQED: Either you met someone from Ayanran or Kakumo or Igarra that had moved to Ondo and settled in, or the man didn't know his native language, or (and this is possible, given your antecedents) this is a completely made up story. This "Akoko people" stuff as it relates to the Akoko Edo is something I already commented on and I don't intend to repeat myself again on the very same thread.

Made up story ? What are you talking about ? I am telling you what happened yet you are denying my experience. I don't understand you oh

PhysicsQED: I've actually never said anything like that at any time.

I recall that bokohalal said a while back that some elderly Edo people see certain Yoruba tribes (not 'Eko'/native Lagosians, though, but other groups) as Edo tribes. Maybe that's what's you're thinking of.

Just as some elderly Yoruba people see some edo as Yoruba tribe.

Obanikoro, eletu etc were originally edo chiefs right ? Thus they can still claim edo but why are they not claiming edo ? Answer the question.

It is quite petty of you to keep ringing it into our ears that edos are separate, can never be Yoruba etc I mean it makes no difference. All Yoruba are trying to do is rekindle the relationship we had before the formation of Nigeria.

Binis are proud today to an extent edo people are proud because they can claim they extended to benin republic etc no Yoruba or ogu tribe has disputed that so why are you always antagonizing the yorubas when they talk if link with the edo ?

Binis went through egun, awori, ijebu, mahen, ilaje, akure, Akoko, ekiti, ondo, owo etc and today these people are part of the common wealth of the Yoruba nation what makes bini different from us I ask ? Don't let igbos influence your thinking ways and be objective.

In life when someone extends a hand of friendship you accept it if genuine not push the hand back at him

PhysicsQED: Alj Harem, there are multiple different groups in Akoko Edo and the vast majority of those groups do in fact speak "Edoid' languages natively. What do you see them as, and what affiliation (besides trade, being neighbors, or use of a lingua franca) do you see between them and the Akoko of Ondo?

Yes some are in ondo state and even kogi. Go read up on them. Sometimes they are called afemie people. Right ?

I don't think there is any point of arguing here. Edo is a language on it's own just like ijebu, owo, Akoko etc

I met an Akoko man during my stay in ondo. He is from akoko edo. Apart from his language is different from both edo and Yoruba, I mean very different example

Omo yi dun in Yoruba

Omo lukilu in Akoko whether Yoruba or Akoko edo

he categorically told me that he is Akoko and Yoruba. This was a fact he told me. infact he spoke better Yoruba than me. Least I forget this bini denial is just funny

The truth is that you cannot separate Akoko people.

Smh that's how physics and co were saying eko, akure are edo people. Smh

Physics are you saying Akoko edo are edoid ? Because you are saying Akoko edo people have no affiliation with Akoko people.

Forget it, this is a very bad man

Ijaw citizen I am quite disappointed. Don't allow Igbo bigotry to infect you as well. We are all brothers and we are all civilized. As you will notice and wirnet said, violence is the very last option for Yorubas. Anything that can be solved diplomatically should be done by so. Never should we act uncivilized like my Igbo brothers such as altwireless was suggesting that is not maturity but childish.

Oh btw the hand of DIPLOMATIC relationship has been extended to ijaws as well. We still love every southern group as brothers.

Note: igbos are different in this brotherly relationship

fiizznation: They simply used ferries if actually they crossed d river niger•

Ur question is jst very myopic. Is jst like saying how did the brits/french/portugese got into africa with all the oceans and seas that seperate us ?

was it documented ?

logica: Hmm. I never thought of the Niger being that shallow. That's bad news for those who are thinking of dredging for ocean-liners. Rafts are OK for moving horses, but definitely not boats. Any small agitation by the horses (especially due to the fact that boats rock a lot) and the boat capsizes.

it quite difficult to access how they crossed it though. These are all speculations.

[size=18pt]WHAT IS JONATHAN'S GOVERNMENT DOING. ANY INTERSTATE LINK IS OWNED BY THE FG [/size]

THE FG IS HEARTLESS. THE SECOND NIGER BRIDGE IS HAVE BEEN ON THE THE LAST FEW STAGES NOW. YET GEJ IS EATING 3MILLION NAIRA FOOD EVERY DAY WHILE WE NIGERIANS ARE IN DANGER!!!!

[size=18pt]GEJ MUST GO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/size]

I have done it before and I can do it again. I maintain that the only reason yorubas and igbos are at each other's neck is because Igbo people don't respect us and our culture and as they say respect is reciprocal

lygn19: LoL...is it BOKOHARAMATIC relationship, or TERRORORISMATIC relationship?

A dipolomatic relationship, Igbos can be part of it as well so long as they respect others. No matter how small or disadvantage a region is, ALWAY still respect that region or group of people because they did not have a choice to be born their but were made there.

Igboman, respect and love the yorubas and hausas and we will do the same to you back in folds

lygn19: We re still waiting o, for the dream when d host wud be begging the parasite for blood.
This is year 2013 y is the south not begging arewa for food and money?

Dude, the north are in safe hands, Oil, seaport etc you name it we will have it by having a DIPLOMATIC relationship with the yorubas and SS.

hope no causality

during the dry season river niger is quite swallow and a horse can cross it. also the nupes, yorubas have had boats and rifts used to cross one border to another. I guess fulanis had the same

shymexx: I need to know who's behind your handle. You crack me up all the time, truss.

I still remember when you used to post more often, nl was fun back then.

You need to come back!!

I am coming back soon

Orlando Owoh: We are possessing our possession. Oduduwa Republic will extend upto Ogbe Ijow waterside.

Fact

Other borders are lokoja, jebba up north

Bini city, warri to the east

Lagos Oyo to the west

Please my western brothers the time is coming where we need to know our Yoruba brothers and those that are not

Okun people are already yorubas neither have they ever deny that fact

We now hope that some sense is spoke to the oba of Benin and ebira

Igalas are Yoruba cousins but not Yoruba and can never be. In Yoruba land we do not oppress people just cause they are minority, igala politician have clearly shown a sense of superiority complex to the ebira and okuns

As for the igbos, please ignore them. Lol

biafranqueen: Actually your insults show that your intelligence is on the low side, if you don't have proof you should

Go and watch the new or turn-in to radio stations and confirm

unfortunatly GEJ's team have been damned again and found out to be lairs. Very despicable set of people

Iyabo just announced that wrote no such letter and going to sue ABATI

Bishop Magic: No please educate me.

I no your leave of absence was not to look up words to insult me but to consult google.

Let me hear what you have to say.

dude no time for that. Its a complete waste of anyone's time

I mean look at the topic you formed last week

https://www.nairaland.com/1544641/ungrateful-lagos

It will be very silly of me to start proving to you. Take care

Bishop Magic: So now Yorubas are synonymous with Creole Culture?

I dey laff at these Osunites wey Thiefnibu don import enter Eko!

do you even know anything about the creole people you are claiming ?

Bishop Magic: Why is My Creole ancestry a problem to you?

Is it because I made it obviously clear to you that I am not Yoruba since my ancestry never married Yoruba.
My grandfather (a mulatto himself) married a Serie leonian mulato. It is only on my motherside that I have any claim to ancestry in Nigeria.
As far as I can recall I have a lot of varrying DNA in me. I have spanish, portogese , African (which I can't narrow down to actual tribe on my father's side since it goes back 5 -6 centuries) and even a dose of Jewish ancestry.

I don't look even Nigerian by the way. And like it just so.

so you can keep your Lagos!

dude, you are deluded

shymexx: Word. I won't mind including the Bariba people in the commonwealth since they were also under Oyo for a long time.

We own the coast!!

I pray I see a Yoruba country in my life time - that's the dream!!

bariba people will have to make that decision for themselves. I really don't want another mini-Nigeria in Yorubaland. They have to accept that THEY ARE FULLY Yorubas without compromise. It is very essential.

Once we all see each other as Yoruba, all this ekiti, awori, ijebu, itsekiri etc will die a natural death and we can adopt a one langua-nation.

Aworis-egun have taken the clue by dropping their language for the Oyo dialect, we need others to do the same.
