selemempe:
wat u just said is like saying that because we have ngwa igbo..wawa igbo...abakaliki igbo...anioma igbo...ikwere igbo etc that igbo is not one tribe.

All languages are creols. That is why 'what' means kini in Yoruba and gini in igbo

Wait! Ikwerre is Igbo?

scholes0:

They are not Yoruba Yoruba like that, but they are definitely cousins.

that doesn't mean their land is part of Yoruba land

YourNemesis:


what has eating starch or banga got to do with their basic origin lol

As an example, Cassava where they get the starch from isn't even from West Africa, but rather Brazil. So are you saying that before the Portuguese brought Tapioca to our shores, Itsekiris were identity-less?
Yorubas don't answer Uduaghan or Origho same way Ekitis don't answer Odumosu or Shonnaike, and same way Oyos don't answer Adanikin. Clans clans clans.
But you can see both an Itsekiri and a Yoruba bearing Olushola Ikuesan or Toju Erejuwa.

no I just put starch n banga to show they have more similarities with Niger deltans too. If you say Itsekiri is Yoruba, will you then say isoko are urhobo, or efik are Ibibio or Fulani are Hausa.

I still maintain that you talk the Itsekiri people, you can't their culture more than them

Afflalo:
itsekiri people are pure eastern Yorubas

so Warri is partly Yoruba?

OlaoChi:
If you lived in Warri then maybe you need to live in Ondo state too
So you can see the cultural similarities between Itsekiri and the coastal people of Ondo state

I schooled in FUTA, i know there are different tribes in coastal ondo [ijaw n Yoruba(ilaje)]. If you mean the similarities between Ilaje and Itsekiri, then refer to what I said about Bini/Esan/Etsako

I'm not talking about his identity. It's the name.. It doesn't sound itsekiri that's why I ask you for the etymology

You obviously do not study much if you don't know Itsekiri is a Yoruba dialect and the bini royal family is from Ife

I once lived in Warri for 15 years, in ajamimogha, I studied itsekiri people first hand. Like I said you can't know their culture better than them, Yoruba/itsekiri is like Bini/esan/afemai. Slight relationship, yes, but dat doesn't make them same tribe or esan a dialect of Bini(mind you the name edo is name of the state nt the name of a particular ethnic group)

OlaoChi:


I maintain those aren't itsekiri names.. You can break them down etymologically and prove how they are itsekiri names... Still doesn't change the fact that itsekiri is a Yoruba dialect

Only the royal family are from Bini.. And even the royal family of bini are from yorubaland

The general common people of itsekiriland are majorly from Ilaje and Ijebu areas

Uduaghan!, former delta state governor, pure itsekiri man.

Itsekiri, dialect of Yoruba?

Bini royal family from Yoruba? wow, different remixes o

Abeg, make sure you talk to people from these tribes, and if possible stay around them to have better knowledge

If ikaland is added as Igboland, then adding itsekiri territory with “Yorubaland” is very much in order.
Besides, check well, the itsekiri territory has a lighter shade which signifies that it is affiliated to but is not the same as Yorubaland.

Ikaland? as in Agbor? OK! I dont want an argument here. Just go to agbor, ask agbor people if there are Igbo, they will "NO" and they will explain their history 4 you. you can't know it more than them

Same, go to itsekiri land, and them about their culture, you can't know it more than them

OlaoChi:
. Yes I can understand a little.
Itsekiri is a Yoruba dialect similar to Ìjẹ̀bú and ilaje dialects

Yorubas eat different things and dress differently. Ekiti and Ondo eat Pounded Yam while Oyo and Ẹ̀gbá eat Àmàlà

Uduaghan, Okorodudu are not itsekiri names

for you to say uduaghan, okorodudu, is not itsekiri means you dont know itsekiri or delta for that matter.

Besides Itsekiri history states there are from Bini. An itsekiri person will never call self Yoruba, and just like Yoruba understand itsekiri little, dats how urhobo understand itsekiri little, itsekiri even dress like urhobo/ijaw, and eat ur urhobo food, but dat doesnt make them urhobo

OlaoChi:
. Do itsekiri not speak Yoruba Language?

listen to omawumi - megbele, n tell me if it sounds like Yoruba, or if a Yoruba can understand the language.

yorubas dont eat starch n banga/ohwo, or ukodo like itsekiris

itsekiris dress very different from Yoruba

N yorubas dont answer names like uduaghan, okorodudu, ugboroke, origho

U put tsekiri land under Yoruba map?

ariesbull:


It's only a mad man that would say something and mean something else. I didn't see Yoruba in the topic ..maybe in his dream he meant Yoruba

you have the manners of a bushpig, what if I said something and I've changed my mind, every other person with a brain understood.

ariesbull:
These Yoruba folks insecurities wouldn't kill una ...they said and compare Igbo food , Efik and Urhobo you guys are bringing your own food . I don't get it

What is wrong with people

Actually this thread is to know the best soups/foods in Nigeria, between all tribes and not limited to the title. I just put those 5 tribes cuz they have the best food I've eaten but then there's so much I've not eaten, like all these ondo foods, where can one get them in akure?

viscerion:

leaders from all parts, every tribe in the country

You have sense

viscerion:


These guys talking here may not be Igbos, just some troublemakers who like impersonating to start quarrel in a group

non-igbos impersonate Igbos, non-yorubas impersonate Yorubas, non SS impersonate SS, that explains all the rubbish you see on nairaland.

scholes0:


It is a Benin name like you said, but the Benin version is spelt as OSAKUE not OSAKWE.

pronunciation and meaning is the same, and that's what matters, after all they didn't spell or write in the olden days

viscerion:
OP, which tribe is this now, its look somehow Edo, somehow Igbo, somehow ijaw, is it isoko?

I'm from kiagbodo, ughelli south LGA, delta state. I'm urhobo, those are urhobo pics. I'll summarize cuz urhobo culture is too broad to discuss in-details.

The Urhobos are found in delta and bayelsa states, and micro parts of edo state, with a population of almost 2 million, they are very closely related to Isokos, also close to Bini and ukwuani, as well as the ijaws and itsekiris who they share Warri with. other urhobo cities n towns include sapele, ughelli, abraka, sagbama, ikpoba, e.t.c. they mostly found outside their homeland in cities like Benin, Port Harcourt and Lagos.

Urhobos have a lot of foods some shared with other tribes, including banga, oghwo, esha, melon peppersoup, okra peppersoup, ukhodo, starch, onunu, banga rice, gbe, popo garri, bole n fish, e.t.c.

Urhobos live in the Niger Delta as such many communities are riverine and some coastal, so the people primarily live by farming, fishing and trading, although discovery of crude oil has polluted the environment.

Urhobo king is called ovie, they dont have a central king, chiefs are called orosuen or okpako, queen ovie r'aye, queens more often as Urhobos are known to be polygamous. Marriage in urhobo like many other tribes, pay bride price, bring listed items.

famous Urhobos include RMD, I go dye, I go save, Ali baba, gordons, ogus baba, eboh bon, ufuoma mcDermott, omoni oboli, Justus esiri, Dr sid, okiemute, kefee, sterioman, mad melon of danfo drivers, oruma, e.t.c famous Isokos include bovi, Eva, orezi, yung six, praiz, solid star, black magic, karo etebo, jeta amata, zeb ejiro, daddy showkey, e.t.c

9jakool:

What soups have you tested from Ondo? Have you tried Isapa? It's most notably common in EKiti.

Please where can I get these soups in akure? I used to be one of those who that Yoruba dont have foods, nor vex

scholes0:
Ijaw and Urhobo have good soup?

Is it their Owoh or their Banga?

Banga is the real Ofe Mmanu

How can a normal person be eating pure starch plus an entire soup made from Palm oil pls?

CALORIE BOMB Death beckoner.

- Firstly, have u actually tasted these foods to confirm?

-secondly, dont Igbo also cook ofe akwu, anoda pure palm oil soup?

- thirdly, do you know the nutritional value of the leaves and seafood(which Igbos dont add) that Niger deltans use in cooking banga

some villages

foods

today I post my tribe @viscerion

Dis Nigeria ehn, we've seen life o

IgweIgweIgwe:
What's the essence of the Biafra


Our own Ojukwu who sacrificed a lot for the Republic of Biafra to be a success registered a political party (APGA). Outta the five core Igbo States, only Anambra is governed by APGA...

Instead of Igbos to collectively work towards economic and infra-structural development, they keep wailing... Igbos are insecure and divided...
Quote me and get snubbed.

who snubbing epp?

viscerion:

Yes I also remember one akpochi okoro and rukewe okoro in my school

wats d meaning of okoro in urhobo sef

ariesbull:


Urhobo people bear okoro also and that is a father to mind you some parts of urhobo /isoko came from Igbo land
The way Igbo , Benin and Yoruba bear Ojo as a name

OK, thank God you did not argue this one, Im just hearing that some urhobos come from Igbo, I'll go investigate b4 I agree or dispute

ariesbull:

You remember ...he showed me no names ...the Facebook is life..let him go to Facebook and show me, I checked and I didn't see

if that picture of Bini names is not enough, nor worry you obviously just to claim right even with overwhelming facts! 3 diff people(and google) now have told you they've know Bini people with that name and you still block ur head

you were even talking as if you are a Bini person, go and ask a Bini person if they is a name like osakwe in their tribe
