This is an interesting thread, my hunch is that we call ourselves "omo odua", because so far in my memory, the older people in my family never use Yoruba to refer to each other, its usually omo odua, I never take notice until now.

Also, Yoruba people prior to colonisation do not seem to refer to themselves as a group. Its either you are Oyo, Ijebu, Ijesha, Ife, Ekiti, Ondo, etc
