This is just the beginning...

AxxeMan:


No part of Akoko Edo came from ile ife

Even the ilo you talk about is an Edo Word .

You might be the OP , but from what I see you are already compromised so your say is irrelevant!!

There is always an element of truth in every irrelevance..

In essence, I'm not judging completely that this is that, and that is this... They are all history that has no justification...

Let's use Ibillo as a case study:

It has been proven historical that the founder of Ibillo was a man who came directly from Ile-Ife who later settled in the present day Ibillo... He was a visitor who sought for some space in the land, which was given to him. Hence the name "Ibillo"...

"Ibi" means place, "Ilo" mean use... If the two words are jointed, it connotes "Ibillo" which means "Lend me this place for use"...

I'm the OP of this great thread... Akoko is a vast area of land which spans from Ondo State to Akoko-Edo in Edo State...

I'm with the motion that some communities in Akoko-Edo have some hidden myth, traces or connection with the Yorubas in terms of behavior, social cultural and rituals, in time immemorial...

Mind you, it's not all the Akoko-Edo communities that have some elements of traces, connection or affiliates of any kind with the Yorubas. Communities like Uneme, Igarra, Ososo, etc. You can quote me if I'm wrong...

GuidoVanRossum:




I've been trying to see if I know you. Where in Ibillo do you live? If you live in Ibillo, I'm sure you will know me or at least one of my younger brother.

Which quarters are you from in Ibillo

I must comment today...

Celebrate us as we mark our Birthday today. I'm +1 today

The OP is just clearly saying by my observation of his write up that the Uneme kindred is now justified & other neighboring communities can marry their daughters. Simple.

Ibillo as a town is the far most developed community in Okpameri. Various social amenities are being installed periodically.
Ibillo is the next gold-rush community.
Watch out in future!

ENIMONEY:

I can only share with you on WhatsApp.

Someone who knows it should teach with picture evidence. No wonder this country don't move forward because people choose to keep their talent to themselves without impacting it on others.

Some are incorrect. I think i disagree.

Deadlytruth:
I know Igarra very well. Well, Igarras are not Yorubas and they have no links with Yorubas in any way. Igarras have v and z in their alphabets while yorubas don't have these letters in their own alphabetical system. Igarra people of Akoko-Edo speak Etuno dialect of the Oshuku language. Some Igarra names are Ozioma, Ofuje, Adaviriku, Adeche, Eneze, Ajimego, Ochavinekine, Asusheyi, Iramofu, Ukana, Osireyeriopa, Ozaime, Ozeyeivo, etc, and I don't think any Yoruba man here can interpret any of these names based on Yoruba diction.

U are very correct. Igarra is not. In any way affiliated with the Yorubas.

Some stupid Sokoto students starting smoking since sixteen sixty six.

This one is little compare to AAU.

Good step towards future innovations. All he need now is more grooming to brace up his performance.

Everything is now news in Nigeria. How does this add more hope of survival to the people of Nigeria.
