I don't know whre u got ur own history and there was no time in Ondo Ekimogun map orshows it share boundary with Ekiti NO, Osemawe says he share boundary with Deji at omi Owena and the same omi Owena is the boundary btw Deji and Owa obokun Adimula ijesha and Osemawe of Ondo so I don't know who told u akure is ekiti, go and read pa Atandare iwe Itan akure ati agbegbe re. The British merged akure with ekiti for administrative convenience not history and in 1946 when the British realized the mistake they separated akure from ekiti and apologise for the error merging akure with Ekiti. Otun Moba ekiti was once under the ilorin Emirate can we say Otun is now ilorin. Most of u don't even know akure history jsut say things u aren't expose to with all confidence and all na lies and fear says. The Deji hardly attend pelupelu meeting go back to ur history the Deji only attend twice. Wen the prince of Wales later king Edward came to nigeria in 1925 the Deji represent akure division not Ekiti oba and the first yoruba oba meeting in 1937 the Deji wasn't addressed as ekiti oba. So I don't know whr u are getting this nonsense from. The Deji was the highest paid Oba inthe whole old ondo province(onod and ekiti states) of today. The Deji was more paid than Osemawe, olowo, Ewi, elekole who were the snr obas on the old ondo province ofthen. Wo I'm a prince of akure who know history so u cant tell me about my own ppl and Kingdom
Very unfortunate a so called prince knows nothing about Akure history but recent emotions for Akure to stand separate. Akure as part of Ekiti confederation shares boundary with Ondo Ekimogun. Why is this so difficult for you to understand? Most of those Ekiti towns in Kwara are not also putting Ekiti behind their names but they still accept themselves being Ekitis.

Obviously u are olodo saying ondo Ekimogun share boundary with Akoko who taught u that nonsense,when akoko was under Owo division, the Osemawe cant even say such nonetity talk, the boundary of Osemawe ondo, is with Deji akure, owa obokun Adimula ijesha, ooni and ikale/ilaje ppl and part of Ijebu. U don't know anything eyah go read more about akure, ondo, owo, ekiti ✌🏼
You must still be in the secondary school; my bad not being aware earlier. Get education first before coming online to disgrace yourself. Ire o!

This is the map of Yoruba tribes; nothing like Akure.

Mr man Akure is not and wasn't part of ekiti. Akure is purely Akure, of course akure share common boundaries with Ekiti just like Akure share boundary with Ijesha, Benin, Ondo, Owo, idrannre. We have ijesa akure ppl, we have ekiti akure pll, we have Ado(benin) ppl. Akure is akure and Akure is the gate way for Benin ppl into Ekiti. At least u will not know akure history than some of us who are prince of akure the Deji Deji Dynasty. The british made a big error into putting akure in Ekiti division in 1914 but they also corrected themselves in 1946 by removing akure from ekiti. Akure is Akure
Mr man you have a lot to learn about your history... Notwithstanding, Akure was recently carving an identity for itself which I understand. It doesn't change history. Why was Deji part of Ekiti Pelupelu or why do Ondo Ekimogun history shows that they only share boundary with Ekiti and Akoko? Tell me the differences in their culture, dialects, food and markets.

In the classification of Yoruba groups, there was nothing like 'Akure' as Yoruba group until recently.

Before being annexed by Benin, Akure was under Ijesa and the first Deji was the grandson of the legendary Owa Atakunmosa. The full meaning of Deji is Owafadeji meaning The Owa gifted him a crown. The Benin invasion was repelled at Ikeji ile Ijesa but they remained in control of Akure before Akure was able to turn the table against the Benin. Akure ended up making Benin its tributary later. You can say Akure has come to their own but their monarchy and crown was originally Ijesa. No debate about that. I think it is better they revert to what they were before the Benin invasion which is Ijesa. Efon Alaaye for instance speak exactly the same language as Ijesa but the Alaaye crown is not an Ijesa crown unless they choose to join because of proximity. Secondly, if you say Akure is more of Ekiti, you can as well say the whole of Ijesa should identify as Ekiti. Ekiti is not one and if there is a Yoruba nation, Ekiti is likely to split and that should be encouraged. They are not under any one umbrella and even fifty thousand people can make a sovereign nation not to talk of a federating unit
I now understand you understand nothing to little about Akure and Ekiti. You can as well say Igbara Oke which is in Ondo and Igbara Odo which is in Ekiti are Ìjèsàs.

Akure was a part of Ijesa land before it was occupied by the Benin and later won her independence. That is enough for the people and land to identify as Ijesa. There are many towns in Ijesa land whose monarchies were not inaugurated by any Owa Obokun of Ijesa land having being in existence before Ijesa was inaugurated. Akure is okay to be part of an Ijesa state.
There was no time in history where Akure was part of Ìjèsà. Deji used to be part of Ekiti pelupelu Obas.

This is what they planned beforehand.

They are looking for troubles to get sympathy votes. They forgot streets could be very dangerous and difficult to be controlled by anyone when you harassed people and their culture in their land unrelentingly. The trouble they seek always particularly in Lagos may go beyond this election if their elders fail to caution them. Neither Tinubu or anyone, nor the wokes would be able to stop what's coming.

Politics / Re: Why Is Federal Government Supporting Northerner Against Southern Nigeria by lx3as(m): 4:57pm On Mar 01, 2021
Since 1960 the federal government is for the north, politicians in the south are antipeople. Trillion of dollars have been generated from oil, ports and customs' duties in the south but used to provide thousands of irrigation system and free fertilizer for the north. Our borders are closed for their own produce to strive. It's hard for one to bring cows and other items from Benin republic but they easily bring in most cows to Lagos from Niger & Chad. I can go on and on.

The truth is that we don't have leaders (only hypocrites) in the south until the youths will take charge.

The current president would never do that to his Herdsmen and bandit criminal brothers.

The nepotism is so glaring; go to NNPC, finance, NDIC, FIRS, Amcon, NPA, EFCC, Customs, etc. in fact anything generating money, enforcement, military, justice, almost all, only his brothers are good to head them. Unfortunately, they achieve nothing since 1960 they've been dominating, not even improve the lives of their people but looting.

How are we going to overcome northern Boko Haram, bandits and herdsmen killings of our people and other security challenges when 9 out of 11 members of the national security council are from the North?

People close to President Buhari should be able to bring this nepotism in appointment to his notice even if self-centered southern politicians won't talk about it. This is very unfair and the patriots, the former heads of state, other good citizens that wish Nigeria well should intervene.

We should remember Nigeria used to be Southern and Northern protectorates and later Eastern, Western and Northern regions. Now that we're having 36 states, the whole appointments in Finance, Security, Justice, etc. are skewed in favour of one particular region. And the North is so happy about these...

Culture / Re: Ekiti Speaking People Of Kwara State by lx3as(m): 11:52am On Dec 25, 2020
Ekiti people are in Ekiti, Kwara and 3 LGAs in Ondo state: Akure North, South and Ifedore. They have close groups like Ijesas, Okuns, Igbominas, Ondos, Akokos and Owos as neighbours.

They are one of the largest Yoruba subgroups.
A king in Ekiti Kwara and Deji of Akure used to be part of Ekiti kings' Pelupelu. Recently, Ekiti in Kwara is associating more with their Igbomina neighbours because they're in the same state and have same challenges. Although there have been moves to join their kins in Ekiti State several times; Otun Ekiti was calved into West Central State (Kwara) initially in the 60s but fought very hard to be in Western State and Ondo State (now Ekiti State).

It's so odd to find out that someone from Odo Owa (where Pastor/Prophet Ayo Babalola of C.A.C came from) a stone throw from Erimope-Ekiti is a northerner. Just like many Ekitis, Igbominas, Okuns and Ibolos are forced Yoruba Northerners.

As in ehn,

Albeit your excitement is incomplete if you fail to see the import of the proverb. Its the wisdom in the saying of our fathers that should awe us the most, it should not be shoved to the peripheral.

On the import of the proverb, our forebears said something profound: eni koko e ye lo moo lo. Its akin to saying olowo laye mo.

Most folks that I've asked to attempt the proverb often says it means people acknowledge only the successful. Well this is right too.

Howbeit, the direct meaning is given and going by the translation, its the man whose business thrive that's really experienced.

The core of the proverb is not subjective veneration of success but appreciation of the experience of the successful in a free market or an agrarian economy.

Having that understanding at the back of the mind would go a long way.

I'm sorry to have assumed that a proverb could be available straightaway to anyone else because its known to me, however, you should know koko as cocoa.

I couldn't have written it in English orthography.

Koko is quite different from "ikoko": please pay keen attention.

Eni koko e ye lo moo lo.

The one whose cocoa survived is knowledgeable at twisting it.

Lx,

Here's an exercise for you.

What is the direct meaning of the proverb

"Eni koko e ye lo moo lo?"

Give it a try.

Pardon me, not too deep in Yoruba proverbs.

And the language is tonal;

'Eni Koko e ye lo moo lo'

Without tonal marks, one can interpret the above proverb as:

1. Whoever has his/her pot tottering/leaning/inclining uses it better.

2. Whoever tottered her hip knows its use.

3. Whoever understands her pot have better use of it.

I will appreciate use of tonal marks to complete the exercise; doubt if I have heard this proverb before.
