Abegi, forget that. Ijaws are tenants in Ondo state. We named them Ese Odo.

I actually knew that someone was going to say this!
But do you have where to push them to now?

Except we are having our republic and they decide to join their kiths in the Niger delta, which I doubt, Apoi and Arogbo in Ese - Odo LGA remain Ondo State indigenes; though I know a lot of Arogbo that claim both Ondo and Balyesa indigenes. We all know that the land originally belonged to Ilajes and to some extent Ikales. However, in the past many moved from one place to another to settle without all these present problems which are due to ethnic consciousness brought about by politics.

Am in south south, Port Harcourt to be precise. What I need is coral beads as old as 30 years. Used by our grand parents. If its in ekiti state, what's the possibility of u getting one for me? U can send me pics on WhatsApp. Will pay up to 500k if its what I want

I'm not even in the West now. All I know is that there are lots of very old coral beads in that place.

ebujany:
You've seen the pics above , thats exactly what we need. Not the beads u find in our markets. Real traditional beads. As old as , worn by our fathers

Go to Ekiti, lots of them there; particularly Isan-Ekiti (Fayemi's town). Just ask for original Akun iyun.

nengibo:
Sorry I didn't mean it as an insult, I meant that Yoruba people who are bigger than bini that is one state(not even 100%) didn't try to marginilize d Ijos to that extent, nobody wants war, but the truth should be spoken

One love Bro.

We all have equal footing in Ondo State and we're already rebuilding our trust in one another.
We grew up listening to Iroyin and Egberi on OSRC then, attending the same Schools. It's even hard differentiating Apoi man from Ikale person; even Arogbo Ijaws now. The Same applies to Edo groups like Owans, etc

We really need peace and unity in the South.

nengibo:
Quick notice to landlord, even Yorubas in Ondo state couldn't do it, you think this is 1920 wer you will attack an ethnic group

You're going too far! ' even Yorubas in Ondo State'. If all Yorubas in Ondo had intervened in Arogbo - Ilaje or Ijaws against Itshekiris crises the way all other Ijaws supported Arogbo and Gbaramatu, do you actually think you would have had chance against them?

Stop dragging Yorubas to issue that doesn't concern them. Binis already said nothing connects them with Yoruba, so why bringing Yorubas to Gelegele matter?

tobsvent:
Only the senseless will support this opinion.

You are right!

''wished him dead''
''wished death to''

PotatoSalad:
Do you have skills? It's all that matters. I know someone with first class but na only book him sabi, no skill, and he finds it difficult to get job.
Graduated with 3.47 and I'm doing fine, so...

I also graduated with 3.49; painful then, for I was plainly denied what I deserved, but now no regret whatsoever!

Chukazu:
that is not true,has nothing to do with loamy theory.
there are cocoa farms in the East too.
Palm trees that require the very best of loamy soil is found More in the East than in West ,so it about interest

I have been to virtually all the nooks and crannies of the East I have never come across major cocoa farmland except in Cross Rivers: and who tell you they don't grow this stuff there?

integritylady:
I understand but not everyone can afford ABUAD

Then the Dean of Law faculty and management of EKSU have work to do, this is where 'connection' counts!

FarahAideed:
Truth be told 98 percent of Cannabis Sativa farmers in Nigeria are Yorubas

I can readily tell you that most people dealing in this are from your side. If you have the sand-loamy soil of the West that easily grows cocoa and marijuana in your region, you would have been the highest producer in the world.

integritylady:
60 for Ekiti State University... too small nah

It's more or less based on state quota system, connection and facilities.

If you add ABUAD's 180 to the 60, Ekiti's institutions are permitted to present about 240 candidates to Law School every year.

Bullhari007:
seems like you are promoting suffering in west

I'm not promoting poverty, you need to visit Gbobi and other orthopedic hospitals.
There were so much noise in Enugu, Awka, Owerri, PH, etc about the ban of Okada; people have since moved on and there is sanity in these places.

Bullhari007:
yellowbar demons and their Fulani masters on rampage... why seizing their means of surviving...

So Mr tribalism, when your state government and that of the entire the South East, South South, Kano, etc stopped Okada in their state capitals and they moved them to the West you were blind then?
You will almost run gaga when the other states in the West join in disallowing bikes transportation in their state capitals.

olureignforever:
Oga, why not create your own.

'I wonder o!'
why are some members of Catholic Church so pained.

Deicide:
Was thinking about this today and just thought I'll ask if yes give reasons and if no also give reasons make we Learn

Yes, Yoruba will be as it combines words of Aramaic, ancient Egyptian and Atlantis.

There are lot of Yoruba names/words in Spanish, e.g, Ola, Lola, Lara, etc; in Turkish/Russian, e.g Lolu, Akin, etc; in English, e.g me for 'mi', yawn for 'yan', etc.

Most importantly, foreigners are learning the language. One of the languages of religion/culture in the Caribbeans and South America. The main indigenous language mix-up of Pidgin. The music language of Nigeria and beyond. If you're in the West of River Niger and you don't understand it, you are on your own.

I will always doubt the paternity of Yoruba-born individual that can't speak the language! Just as every Yoruba man is born spiritual, the language is part of Yoruba spirituality and it can never die until the world is no more. Yoruba (Anago, Olukumi) slaves in the Americas never let go of their Yoruba language and culture!

Again, in the S/West most people communicate in Yoruba language instead of Pidgin or English to carry out their daily activities.

ProWalker:
There is nothing to counter in your lies about igbo not been landlocked.
You want to dregde the river Niger or the river tributaries?
What exactly does this your dredging invloved and don't you ever think that ibos have the sole decision on such river dredging
You ibos dont think through issues before opening your mouths to talk some ersin tbings

To her, Niger and Mali can follow river Niger to its Delta, do their import/export businesses without Nigerian authority.
I wonder how these people reason!

People's salaries are more important than this showoff!

nnokwa042:
igbo word for father is nnam so check around the world what baba means,remember alubosa is borrowed word from arabic

Though Yoruba borrowed words from Arabic, Yoruba as well share many words with ancient Aramaic and Egyptian. The word for father is Baba or Aba(Abba) in Central Yoruba like Ekiti, Ijesa, etc. both Arabic and Hebrew languages developed from Aramaic. Baba and Aba(Abba) mean Father.

ImaIma1:
I thot it was Osun because everyone in the school where i taught seemed to be iya ibeji and baby ibeji

Every Yorubas' state, including Kwara and Okun part of Kogi, can lay claim to producing the highest set of twins.

VickyRotex:
I want to have Twins too o.
Biko where's the yam let me start eating before I get married

My Grandmum had 3 sets of Twins. My Mum and her twin are the first set.
And out of all the sets, only my mum had twins. Me and my Twin!
I would love to have twins too! Just one set is okay for me

It's no longer yam of a food, it's in the genes. You will probably have a set or two.

murphyibiam15:
that's unidentical twin bc of amala which contains gonadotrophin releasing hormones that induces multiple ovulation


n/b: identical twin rate is constant world over

Ekitis eat pounded yam more than 'amala' and they have the highest number of twins when it comes to state.
There are also lots of twins among Igbominas, Ijesas; Yorubas generally. Yorubas love and worship them. Every household in my town gets sets of twins. We have four sets in my family. In those days we were invited from house to house for twins celebrations.

LalasticSeun:
Not like he had marital issues; Divorces
....he was only in a relationship with several women and then Married her sister as well..

In Yoruba culture/religion, only Eledumare is perfect. The gods like Ogun, Sango, Elegbara, etc were not perfect not to talk about deities.
Every one has his own destiny, 'Ayanmo' and there are steps and people you will cross to get there. The Ooni is aware of his fate! It's in the hand of his Eleda who controls all other gods. There is nothing he or you can do about it!

fuke:
For those religiously inclined, River Oni in Efon Alaaye has to be added
The River was blessed by Apostle Ayo Babalola for spiritual help.
You also have Babalola Tomb with that of his father.
People come from all over the world to pray there.

Ido Ajinare, Erio and Okudi hills are great sites to behold also! I will always give it to Esa Caves and rocks but not developed by the state government. On expedition from New Iyin Road, Ado, you will always find Esa Rock beside you until you arrive Iyin. it's more captivating than Zuma rock. I so much love it in Efon, you don't even need AC or fan. I have also visited Ero and Egbe dams and Lakes, there are so many dams in that state. Ekiti has got a wonderful terrains but nothing is being done to promote tourism.

giftq:
Lagos is 51% Igbo. This is democracy not empty sentiments abeg

hunhun, you made mistake; Igbo population is 91% of Lagos!

You have started again. I thought chest-beating and tribalism have gone down on NL since 'Dilector' went underground.

freshvine:
Good statement from government house

The governor is doing all he could to make sure Federal government doesn't declare State of Emergency in Abia.

If the SE people are wise, they will not be licking fire-stick with sugar Kanu and FG is offering them because Bornu will fair better than SE when the dust is settled. Beating chest when Buhari dismantles his own brother and shia religious leader is tantamount to being gullible.

Buhari, Obasanjo and co believe in the indivisible Nigeria. Have you read or hard about how he destroyed Chadian soldiers that invaded Bornu, even chasing them to some miles from Chadian capital against president Shagari instruction?

Eastside046:
Wow

Igbos are really doing great things


check places igbos live and places dey dont live in Afonja land...
u wil spot de difference


beauty vs Brown roofs daz de difference mehn


i Love Abakiliki

You are only chest-beating on nothing! And you can't do this without shouting Afonja.

tollyboy5:
Who is talking about south Sudan here. people only refer to that one when they see SE always attaching SS to every of their movement because they felt SS might want to stand alone and if their leader are leader of vision they progress mightily. But for south East its not my business that their looks barren what I'm saying is the hate speech from ipob and self hype their followers against other region would tell in future.

The north is not even moved by SE noises ever since but just look at their restlessness since Yoruba summit.
To northerners since Sultan Bello, only Yorubas exist in the south!

step1:
This is funny. Anyway let akoko, login and ekiti speak for themselves. I am from Lagos and an indigene and we are not in anyway Edo but yoruba. If you like nak your head for ground we are yorubas. The few of us that have proto Edo names like obanikoro are now yorubas because we never considered Edo different from yoruba but if you choose differently then we stick to yorubas.

You dey mind Bini man who believes Yorubas should use one dialect and could not differentiate between Edo and Edoid.

His fake belief is that small Igodomigodo or Bini produced and colonized everywhere - East, West, South and North. He forgot that all his culture and gods are from Yorubas and that Oromiyan's children Obas in Bini used the Yoruba Ilaje and Yoruboid Itshekiris to secure riverine areas up to Lagos in those days; worshipping Ilaje's Ayelala, Ekiti' Umole; Ogun, Olokun, etc.

Binis and Yorubas have always been close until inferiority complex of their ruler in Western Traditional council caused this revisionist theory of lies. Though Yorubas were not happy when Biafra soldiers invaded Bini but could do nothing because of their boastfulness. However, immediately they ventured into Ore, they met their Waterloo.

Let leave these Bini 'stories tellers', Biafra is coming for them again. I even doubt it if KingOvoramwen1 is from Edo?

EdoNation:
;DD

And the funny thing is that 50% of the people in ekiti trace their origin back to Benin ... That's why it was even named Ado(Edo)Ekiti, we haven't even gotten to Ondo yet... The guy is here mentioning Hamlets not even villages

Common sense is really not common

A very 'big lie' Ado or Ido means to settle or settlement! Yorubas even gave the name 'Ado' to Igodomigodo before Oranmiyan called it Bini.
Ekitis are proud central Yorubas just like Ifes, Ijesas and Igbominas. Migrations from Ile-Ife took many of their people to Edo area and many traced their way back to Ondo and Ekiti States.
If Nigeria should break today, one third of present Edo state will certainly join Yorubas while Bini and others can join Biafra or ND republic. We care not!
