forgiveness:
Do you know him personally?

Abegi, help me tell am.

He seems to put his trust in Uhrobo, Ijaw and co. Hmm! Make i no talk.

Na I think he has retrace back his steps. We are all one people

Datazone:
What proof do you have that they are Yorubas? Do not just come online to distort history just because they speak a language similar to Yoruba doesn't make us a Yoruba. Yes! We have ties with the Yoruba likewise the Binis so keep calm bro... Compare the Itsekiri dressing, Yoruba dressing and Edo (Bini) dressing, you will see our dressing is similar to that of the Binis.

Bros relax, we are all from one descendant so there no point pushing each other off. Even the Urhobo practise Epha/Ipha (Ifa).

We are from one branch whether Awori, Benin, Egun, Itsekiri, Ishan, Ijesha, etc. Don't lose focus

forgiveness:
Oyel! Oyel! Oyel!

When you said Itshekiri are not Yoruba's, i just dey look you. It seems you don't what will befall you without taking refuge under that general acceptable name Yoruba.


What do you think OPC is doing in Warri?
Why do you think Itshekiri leaders always participate in Yoruba forum etcetera.? You never jam.

Don't mind the bBOY. I just recently called him out to correct some notions. He even went further to say Ilaje is not yoruba as well or better still "Ilajes don't claim yoruba" That got me mad ! He exhibited a typical igboman trait on Nairaland and I had to stop him.

I also want me and him to meet in Warri so he can show me the Ilajes he met that are claiming they are not yorubas.

IGBOS IN YOUR DREAMS

I am dying of laughter here. Those Names are Igbo names

Secondly, Forget Itsekiris joing baifraud. If Itsekiri's join then what happens to the Yorubas and Edos. You think Itsekiris will leave the Yorubas and Edos to join for FRAUD REPUBLIC ?

SkyBlue1:
We need less government in Nigeria, not more. Do you know what percentage of our tiny budget is recurrent expenditure? How is the country supposed to develop at the pace we want if all it spends its money on is paying salaries?

so because there leader squandered there money meant for development, Nigerian youths should suffer.

they can either use that money for capital expenditure or for employment of Nigerian youths. Spend 2 billion on rehabilitation and an extra 5.-10 billion on empowerment.

Bros I am sorry to say but I wish they can cut of your head for spewing that trash

Goodboiyy:
I can't speak for all itsekiri, But @bolded I don't think so.. the itsekiri have always maintained they are Itsekiri and not Yoruba.. If any Itsekiri claims they are Yoruba then its for political Reasons (e.g Oritsefemi, Omawunmi) I even heard tiwa savage is itsekiri, But that will be Topic for another day, Although Yoruba see itsekiri as there kin and kith

good, first if all Oritsefemi speaks yoruba as his first language. Fact !!!

Secondly Tiwa Savage is from Lagos Island and my town to be precise so she is yoruba

Thirdly yorubas have never claimed itsekiris but it is the other way around. We respect and enjoy our relationship with itsekiris and edos.

Although I have to stop your assertion that some ilajes don't claim yoruba. It is only on nairaland you hear such. It was also only on nairaland you hear aworis/egun are not Yoruba but claim a distinct ethnic group or claim ijaw

From Badagry in Lagos (awori-egun) to okitipupa in border of ondo and delta (ilaje) we are all yorubas. Ijaws in ondo migrated there and they admitted it but we are accommodating to accept them because they do not cause trouble.

pazienza:
Speak of the devil. And he appears.

What's up with your Jason123 Itsekiri handle. Have you gotten tired of being Itsekiri?

na wa oh.

pazienza:
Spot on.

Meanwhile, aljharem had since disappeared.

Who knows his current Igbo moniker? HopeAthand perhaps?

fratermathy:
Oh Please! Must you be sentimental about everything. Talking as if your life depends on it.


This thread is to proclaim the unity of OUR people regardless of what they speak or not. Do not derail it over skirmishes.

Thank you

I will leave but tell Goodboiyy to stop this no yoruba or ignore in delta state because in reality they are indigenous yoruba who are ilajes and indigenous igbos who are the delta igbos in delta state.

Also the itsekiris have more ssimilarity with ilajes, mahin, and aworis than urhobos. Similarities in dressing, language, culture, monarchy and way of life. The only similarity with itsekiris have with urhobo is food. All costal people from Lagos Island to bonny Island have the same dress style.

Also Goodboiyy has been showing some anti yoruba tendencies. He should watch it

if he needs to see ilaje people in warri claiming yoruba, I will show him.

if he needs to see itsekiris people claim them and yoruba are one I will show him.

in fact we have Opc in warri which is Oodua people's Congress.

scholes0:
They can be pacified if some of the other ethnic groups in the region stop dragging their warri with them....
Abeg, I no wan divert thread oo.....

don't mind them. This urhobo think they are smart and na them dey born pikin like rat.

I know itsekiris and have itsekiris members, they are more yoruba than any urhobo.

itsekiris are bilingual but to yoruba not to urhobo. You rarely see itsekiris speak urhobo but fine urhobo speak itsekiri and even yoruba so what is op talking about.

stop the misinformation

ok do itsekiris say migwo? no

they ku owuro which is good morning

Even apoi- ijaws claim yoruba not to talk if ilaje

even some itsekiris claim yoruba so what is this Goodboiyy saying.

Bros watch yourself oh

Moreover itsekiris have made it clear that there is no niger-delta Republic rubbish. Either they go with edo ( thus they prefer edo to niger-delta) or yoruba.

Just Google it

Goodboiyy:
Hey Mr. my view about Ilaje is my personal Opinion.. The Ilaje's I have always come in contact with always tell me they re Ilaje not Yoruba, but wen I came to NL , It was a different tin Entirely, now wondering if NL is different from Real Life. But all the same am sorry if that Annoys you.. my Apologies.
I hold nothing Against Yoruba.
Thanks.

oga you experience is a very strange one. I am in warri and all ilaje I have met here even indigenous ilaje ALWAYS claim ilaje is yoruba.

BTW I am awori-egun. We can meet up and I will take you to ilajes here in Effurun claiming yoruba

Truckpusher:
We already know that your support for Jonathan was nothing but personal interest,exchange for Port Harcourt and our identity and not borne out genuine love.This we are already aware of.

Now take your support and shove it down your ass for all we care.

You need to learn how to separate political affiliation from regional and ethnic interest.

so cold

igweocha. nooooo!!!!!

I hope this gets fp

I pray God provide for the good people of Osun

IyaIode:
Search them there, you will uncover more than 10kgs of drugs

Enjoying this. Where is area, eko ole etc

Tinubu is fighting back. Funny

IlekeHD:
Ngga, you're not Yoruba.

Who knows, this might be nduchucks sef. You came out of hiding to post here abi.

One day you're igbo, the next you're Yoruba, then Ijaw.

It's "Afenifere" and "Yoruba ronu"....fake boi.

Sister, you are not even as yoruba as me. Just because my written yoruba is not that good does not mean I am not yoruba.

You are even in the USA not Nigeria so what gives

JSJaja:
This man is not saying the truth. I'm frm RIVERS STATE, I wasn't there during the war but my parents and grand parents told me about the war, never did day mention of anything alluding what d poster said, rather I was told about the invasion of our land by the Nigerian troops and the war crimes they committed. If such ever happened then something that this man is not telling us led to it...RIVERS people are BIAFRANS and we came out in our numbers to protest the arrest of our leader, that tells u all u need to know. U are on ur own...IN BIAFRA WE STAND

Oga you are not from river's state. You just registered and made 1 post. Stu.pid flat head lair

Aareonakakanfo:
Lol did i hear you mention afenifere? They're as confused and unserious as the character we're talking about.

Ore mi, that were you got it very wrong. Clearly one man cannot be dictating the affairs of the yoruba nation, he will make mistakes and also some groups within the YORUBA might sabotage him.

I love the idea of this thread so some of us yorubas can air our views and see reason

Right now the South West is not united and I don't think it will be anytime soon.

We have a self imposed leader that has NEGLECTED AFERNIFERE AND OTHER YORUBA STAKEHOLDERS. PLEASE someone should tell me how the yoruba nation can move forward. A HOUSE DIVIDED ON ITSELF.

Whether we choose to accept it or not, Yoruba nation has a VERY BIG PROBLEM which must be handled with a swift response.

Look at the ministerial list. I mean the only Yoruba leader we have there is Fashola (who is now an enemy to this parasite of a leader) the rest are just figure heads.

We have a "yoruba leader" that does not care about the yoruba nation but only cares about his own personal ego and empowerment.

Yoruba roun o.

Aareonakakanfo:
Another thing a lot of people tend to ignore is the population.Even if everyone gets autonomy, leeches will still run to Yorubaland and the yorubas who are suppose to be the main beneficiaries will still have to compete with them.We can't control immigration as long as we're still in the same country

I actually find this very annoying. You complain about leeches but you forgot the man that was romancing with this leeches appointing them as commissioners etc
