You obviously are the one who needs to get the facts straight sir. OLUKUMI DOES INFACT EXIST, in a town called Ugbodu under the aniocha north lg which i believe and which everyone who comes from Delta State knows is under the Anioma ethnic group. And we (Olukumis) do have a relationship with the yorubas. AND WE ARE NOT DESENDANTS OF A SINGLE MAN. So before you contradict what someone else knows, gather your information first.

When did this happen? First of all there is no such thing as the "Anioma ethnic group". Second of all, what are the 12 different languages? The only dialects spoken in Anioma are Enuani and Ika which are both a part of the Igbo language so what are the other 11 languages aside from Igbo?

You said "agreed to join the union of Anioma with the rest of their neighbouring communities". When was this? The term "Anioma" was formed to make distinctions between the Igbo speaking people of Northern Delta and the Edoid speaking peoples of southern Delta.

Agian there are no Edoid or Yoruba speaking people in Northern Delta. Like I stated earlier, the two main dialects spoken in Delta North are Ika and Enuani.
With the origin of the Olukumi(that is i they really exist), I doubt they are have any relationship with the Yoruba, most likely they haveytheir origins in Edo. Some other things to consider are their population. What is the population of the Olukumi now? I doubt if it is over 10 thousand epople. Now go back sixty years to 1951, around the time the Anioma political umbrella was set up, what wouldve been theur population then? 100? I think that the Olukumi might be the descendants iof a single family or man who emigrated from the Edo speaking regions.
