Culture / Re: The main reasons Yoruba not enlisted as a tribe in Edo state by AworiLagosian: 8:39pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
AreaFada2: Honestly this your reply stems from the deep seated reservations/position you have about the Benin-Yoruba relationship. Did My reply ever insinuate that Benin is in the Yoruba confederation? Fine Benin are not in any way close to Yorubas, I think that much is clear. They are on their own after-all. Are you pleased enough now? And Yes, thank God, yur era of subduing and dominating the natives of Lagos is long gone and never to return!! You guys were e very destructive empire and anti progressive force in Southern Nigeria for ages. That is why in the whole edo state today, outside of Benin, no town even exceeds 200,000 in population. Which only buttresses my point that Beninin was a nation state that wouldn't let anything around it thrive. Benin people of those days would bring their plundering attitude all the way to Idanre, Akure, Owo, Epe just to decimate Yoruboid tribes. 8 Likes |

This is the difference between a Benin and a Yoruba. A Yoruba person's loyalty is to their entire ethnic group as a whole, which has more than 40 peopled clans within it. A Benin person's loyalty is to Benin kingdom regardless of which peoples lands they claim. Benin is a nation state, Yoruba is a Nation of States. Within Yoruba, 'Benin' is just like say; Egbas for example. 8 Likes 1 Share |

(36) Ode Idepe (Okitipupa) - Ondo - Jegunyomi Abejoye from Ode Usen / Awure / Ufe kekere. Pls, this Ode-Usen / Ufe kekere that the Okitipupas claim they came from sounds cunningly similar to Usen town in Edo state. Funny enough, their Oba there is called Elawure. It is in Edo after Okada town or after Ifon/Okeluse. Is it the same one? 1 Like 2 Shares |

Politics / Re: Why Lagos May Become The Biggest Igbo City In 2030 by AworiLagosian: 10:18pm On Dec 10, 2018 |
I think in a way due to the sheer size of Lagos, It is already the city with the largest concentration of Igbos on the globe, and we are still in 2018, so no need to wait till 2030. But calling it the largest "Igbo city" is something COMPLETELY different... Wrong use of words. Why you ask? Well it isn't an Igbo city. Simple. That being said, this is nothing special actually as lagos is already the terrain containing largest numbers of members of various ethnic groups across Nigeria and not just Igbos. Besides, Igbos are not really known for historically having very large cities so they move a lot to large cities across the country to better their lives in a way that can't be achieved in villages and peri-urban communities that litter igboland. The biggest city in all of Igboland proper is probably only slightly larger than Akure. 3 Likes |
