Yes black men don't care because black women will not submit and respect the black man. It is constant and will never change.

It is only black women that do gender equality.

So black women should defend themselves.

On a good day you all disrespect black men but in times of crisis you want black men to risk their lives and save you lol

If there is ever a war I will rather save other races of women than save black women.

Your black women are not submissive because blackmen do not deserve submissive women,do your part by creating a prosperous safe society then we can fault blackwoman,till then Blackmales will always be seen as weak and lacking protective instincts,the male duty comes first not the female.

Jogs1900:
Does it mean we can call the place a Yorubaland by conquest.

The major influence were not the Ibadan but yoruba missionaries,and British colonialist who promoted the use of Yoruba as lingua franca like they did with Hausa in the north,
Yoruba influence has been watered down over the years however

Jogs1900:
There are Igbiras in akoko edo, yorubas and benin..Why didn't they choose Benin as their lingua franca but instead chose Yoruba language.
I think Yoruba influence is more visible in akoko edo than other tribes.

Yoruba became an influential language there,around the time of the Ibadan invasion there from the 1850s

Jogs1900:
True but they are Yorubas.

Akoko-ondo comprises some from Yoruba origins while some including idoani have Benin origins,but Akoko-edo are mainly Edo originates

Slytiger:
Link?

What are the names of this Yoruba missionary and priest and teachers. People do powerful enough to rename towns.

These towns were kind of abandoned settlements which people had fled from or moved to hills.
Note they are few and little villages,like aiyegunle, ikiran-ile etc,then some like ozah,which was corrupted to ojah by the Yoruba,the whites also corrupted some like osioso to ososo,unagogo to magongo.

Slytiger:
If that's the case, alot of town in Nigeria would have been renamed.

Also many of them lived on hills,so when they were persuaded to come down,the Yoruba priest and missionaries named the new settlements

Slytiger:
Source/verifiable link of this information?

Google topic very well you'll come across a lot of articles on it

Slytiger:
It's shocking. Same Akoko Edo that I have lots of friends from there who see themselves as yorubas. Only on Nairaland would you see people trying to twist facts with confidence. 🤣

Anyway, the thread is even about burns not Akoko Edo.

Akoko-edo are not Yorubas, no Akoko-edo person will say they are Yorubas, maybe you confusing them with Akoko-ondo

Slytiger:
If that's the case, alot of town in Nigeria would have been renamed.

That is exactly the case,note that the Akoko-edo region was just emerging from destruction by the nupe at this time so were in a very debased state,this gave the Yoruba priest and teachers alot of power of influence cos they were seen as humanitarian saviours

Jogs1900:
Ogori magongo is in Kogi state

I know it's part of the zone

Ireportlive:
Do your research Akoko Edo is Yoruboid, Efiod... all from Ile Ife tonation.

Even Ishekiri, Ijaw are all Yoruboid

Only northern Edo are completely not Yoruboid

Is Akoko-edo not in northern Edo,it is not yoruboid, you can simply Google it,their languages are all edoid,except akpes,ikaan which is unclassified, ogori-magongo is independent

Ireportlive:

An average Yoruba man doesn't even affiliate with anyone Yoruboid speaking subgroup

Yoruba main social cultural group had achieve a lot globally and we don't need anyone

Their language is not even yoruboid, that's the point

Jogs1900:
Imagine saying Akoko Ondo are not Yorubas..Go and tell the Akeredolus that that are not Yorubas..You go explain tire.

Akeredolu is from owo not akoko

illicit:
They were Yoruba

They assimilated or were assimilated by other languages and culture overtime

Met several Ibilo and Somorika folks that have Yoruba names


🦖

How many times will they explain the issue of names to you people, the Yoruba naming trend started during the colonial era,with Yoruba missionaries and teachers influence

Iamzik:
Again your messages is full of inferiority complex. People ar being killed in many places in the world.

So let's try this: Americans are not great because they have not been able to stop mass shootings. Will that be a logical conclusion?

There's hardly anytime an invading gunman comes out alive from any attack in america,many times killed by ordinary people sometimes even women not even law enforcement.

In same America, we have heard many cases of white men gunning down blacks unprovoked,but blacks can hardly ever reciprocate such attacks cos they are powerless

In nigeria invading Fulani gunmen consistently attack communities and retreat untouched.

The men of such victim communities rarely mobilize to attack the Fulani instead they give all sorts of lame excuses why they cannot.

The reason they can't revenge is simply due to lack of capacity and fear, all other reasons are just excuses to cover up their weaknesses.

Buhari is no more on sit,they should stop these lame excuses

Akoko-edo is in the extreme northwestern part of Edo state.
Comprises many villages consisting of the okpameri group(which is not a tribe but an alliance).such as ibilo,ekor,ekpesa,lampese,ugbosi- afe,ugboshi-sale,ikiran-ile, imoga,ososo,ekpe,onumu,dangbala,ojah,ikpeshi- atte,somorika,bekuma ,ojirami
The Uneme such as Ekpedo,uneme- OSI,uneme- erhunhun,etc
Igarra(ebira),and
others.

Most of them have histories relating to Benin origins while some of them are aborigines.
Few communities like ibilo,ekpesa,ugboshi etc trace their origins to IFE but it's highly disputed as their language and culture defy this narrative.

The Akoko-edo have some ethnic relationship to some villages in Akoko-ondo and idoani who also trace their origins to Benin,however the Akoko-ondo have become heavily yorubanized most of them however still retain traces of their Benin origins.

The fact that many indigenes of Akoko-edo bare Yoruba names and some of the villages have Yoruba names confuses people to think they are Yorubas,even indigenes themselves.

However the Yoruba naming factor was influenced by the early Yoruba missionaries, and traders,who spread Christianity and education and trade by means of Yoruba communication,this made the zone adopt a Yoruba naming convention and made Yoruba the lingua franca since most of the villages spoke their own unique dialects which were bare mutually intelligible.

This Yoruba influence as died down in present times,however some still retain their Yoruba names,this makes Yorubas mislabel them as Yorubas when they are actually not.

Iamzik:
There is no point to prove bro. You are free to believe whatever makes you happy or miserable but you are just one out of a billion blacks and there are many great black men. They are in every age since beginning of time.

Your inability to see greatness does not in any way mean that greatness does not exist. I am great and I'm proud to say it. You can choose to be mediocre if you wish. Every man becomes what he calls himself

It's not about what I think,its about the facts and evidences on ground,where else have you seen the sought of large scale killing that occurs in Nigeria,without adequate reprisals or response,instead the men cry as much as the women and call on God to protect them.

I wonder how u will feel if say,Israel sends female soldiers to protect u guys in Nigeria

Am sure the typical blackmale response will be to celebrate instead of feeling ashamed.

walefresh3:
stop lieing with confidence.... u igbos are good at it.. akoko edo are purely Yoruba... Fact.. my elder sister married from there...

Nigerians... Fear southern people oooo see as Dem dey lie with confidence claiming what dey are not

The truth is the truth, I am from there,so I am talking from indigenous POV not from hearsay

KwuoteYourFada:
Make Binin people no hear am o

There's a big difference between Akoko-edo and Akoko-ondo, mind you the Akoko name itself is not native to Yoruba,it is an autochonos name

chopnaira:
I have met many Akoko Edos that are from Edo who call themselves Yoruba and they have Yoruba names. Akoko people are also in Ondo State.

The postal code of the area is 312. The towns include Atte, Igarra, Enwan, Aiyegunle, Ugboshi-Afe, Ugboshi-Ele, Ekpesa, Ibillo, Ikiran-Ile, Ikiran oke, Ekor, Somorika, Lampese, Imoga, Ojah, Uneme-Akiosu, Ososo, Akuku, Ojirami-Dam, Imoga, Eshawa, Ojirami-Peteshi, Ojirami-Afe, Dagbala, Makeke, Ekpe, Ekpedo, Bekuma, Okpe, Ogbe, Onumu, Akpama, Anyonron, Ogugu, Ikakumo, Ijaja, Oloma, Uneme-nekua, Ikpesh

Out of the list, Yoruba towns are: Aiyegunle, Ikiran-Ile, Ikiran Oke, Ikakumo (some parts are in Ondo), and Anyonron.

There's a big difference between Akoko-edo and Akoko-ondo, those towns you mentioned like aiyegunle,ikiran-ile etc are non Yoruba ,they were renamed by Yorubas during the colonial era when Yoruba were appointed as teachers,priest to run those centres. Note that teachers and priest where very reverred in those days

VEHINTOLAR:
Please note as well that Dele Momodu is not full blooded Yoruba man. His mother is a Yoruba woman from Gbongan in Osun state while his father actually came from Ihievbe in Owan East LGA of Edo state. Dele Momodu was however born and raised in Ile Ife,Osun state. He has his first and second degree in Yoruba language. It will not be out of place though to call Dele Momodu a Yoruba man because he is actually one !


About the topic,Yoruba don't even need to claim Burna Boy,he is the one proudly associating with the Yorubas. Yoruba don't have these inbred inferiority complex like the Op's people,we are blessed by God in all spheres of life.

Nobody needs to argue with anyone concerning Akoko Edo people,whatever Akoko Edo people call themselves is who or what they are ! Yoruba are bigger than any attache by force nonsense ! My friend's mum,Iya Dupe, is from Akoko Edo and she is proudly Yoruba. So,those who think the old woman is not Yoruba or shouldn't be Yoruba should go and meet her in her husband's house in Osogbo and iron it out with her ! I'm very sure that she will have some very nasty and unpleasant things to say to those idiots.

The Op is Igbo though,I'm not surprised that he left his own Osu's status and begin to dabble into another people's identity. Anyway, a slave must always behave like one !

Any body that is from Akoko-edo and tells you they are Yoruba is lying to you,probably to win favor from Yorubas,Akoko-edo is completely non Yoruba

Babathanks:
You're a liar. My mum is from ikirun. And they are Yorubas. They came from Ile Ife in osun state. Even ekpedo, epe are all Yoruba towns in akoko Edo

Ekpedo is pure Uneme,they aren't Yoruba at all,likewise ekpe

Iamzik:
You would actually denigrate an entire race just to make yourself feel good? Wow

"The black man has never been great in history "
Really? I have never seen this level of chronic inferiority complex before today.

Pathetic!

It's the truth,it's not about complex,so many classic examples to prove my narrative

Godfullsam:
You expect black men to compare themselves with men of other races, do they share the same environment with men of other races?
Don't use the activities of terrorists and bandits who usually attack innocent/armless people unaware/unprepared to conclude that black men don't protect their wives and children.

The fact that the victims are innocent and armless is the more reason the men should mobilize and protect them,the narrative that they are unaware and unprepared is untenable as these attacks are always consistent and patterned,if they were really ready to protect themselves they would keep watch always.That excuse is just to cover up for their failures to protect their innocent wives and daughters

Godfullsam:
You expect black men to compare themselves with men of other races, do they share the same environment with men of other races?
Don't use the activities of terrorists and bandits who usually attack innocent/armless people unaware/unprepared to conclude that black men don't protect their wives and children.

It is a classic example, there's hardly any other race that will not mobilize to defend themselves, even in the time of Isis,the Kurds mobilize including their women to battle Isis,but here men cannot mobilize to defend their territory, they keep crying to God and a non existent government or military

simpleseyi:
Take your drugs, and stop taking hard drugs. As you are talking about the men in your family, it is good, but don't generalize that all Nigeria's men are like the men and transgenders in your family

My narrative is due to the consistent killings in plateau,Benue,Kaduna and the poverty state of Nigeria and black africa

From some of the comments so far you can clearly see why the Blackman as failed,most of the Blackmen compares himself to his woman and competes with women instead of men of order races.

The Blackman has never been great in history and doesn't feel ashamed.

Blackmen generally are not protectors, but especially most tribes in Nigeria.

Majority of them can't protect their wives and children unlike other races.

In Nigeria only the Igbo,Fulani and some other minoritieshave that protector/ defender instiints

Olachase:
we have (Ikare Akoko and Akoko Edo) I don't like long arguments make the conversation end there

You don't know anything

Olachase:
from Akungba

What did you about them

Akungba is ondo not Edo.

Akoko ondo are an Yoruba Edo mixture but Akoko-edo is purely Edo origins

Olachase:
you day smoke igbo my mum is from Akoko Edo she has Yoruba name she's pure Yoruba if you don't kw what to say just shut down
I am not here to claim burn boy he's not my father family, if he likes he claim Yoruba if he likes he do otherwise that's none of my own business
Buh you saying Akoko Edo is not Yoruba you are out of ur mind, well maybe you are from Edo and not the Akoko cus normally we and Edo don't have anything to do or in common

Which village is your mum from in Akoko Edo?
There's no Akoko-edo village which claim they are pure Yoruba.

Listening to the commissioner of information plateau state on an interview on Al-Jazeera there's this trend of politicians that has been left unchecked by Nigerians which is probably the worst evils these politicians do which many have overlooked.

The act of determining who should live or die

He was explaining that the military has sole responsibility to defend people, therefore people should not defend themselves according to the so called constitution.

This is an absurd political evil that needs to be checked once and for all.

The excesses of politicians has reached the peak now.It is just too much

You can't have people coming enmasse to kill you and all you can do is wait for a non existent military to save you.

E.g if an armed robber wants to invade your house,rape your wife etc.

Why should you not arm yourself and defend ur space

You have the inherent right under any law to defend yourself at that moment.

How can you say people should sit and wait to be killed if there's no military intervention when they are attacked and people shouldn't try to arm and defend themselves. What kind of satanic law is that,that law is against God.

The whiteman that brought most of these laws wouldn't sit like a duck waiting to be killed,they will defend themselves.

Why are the political blacks acting so foolish and wicked in Nigeria.

Why is black peoples politics this evil.
Who are these blacks even.
Is there a secret we don't know.

This mystery as to be unravelled

The act of Nigerian politicians encouraging people to be defenceless needs to be stopped.

This is a plot by politicians against human beings,against sacred lives.

This trend of continuous political evil must begin to be looked into,politicians are not some kind of special people or gods that will determine who should live or die.

Political evil as been allowed by Nigerians to fester too much.

Their excesses need begin to be looked into.

It has become too worrisome, the mystery of black/ Nigerian politics need to be unravelled now
