Relax that part of Akoko edo you mentioned is the same with the Akoko's in Ondo and the Akoko's are Yopruba sub goup.
Were you out of the country or new to reading articles on online or you dont read books or listen to discussion either on television or online forum.

The issue about Yoruba and the Edo's are well discussed and explained. Seee dude i no fit go talk much .You just need to learn your history and be versed before youn drop online . It seems you be teenager and you just bought a phone to surf the net ?

I am not on in dealing with you since you chose not to have respect. I don't need to explain to you the difference between Akoko Edo and the Akoko ondo. But here is the bombshell,does it mean that people that lay claim to Edo state, are all Binis or Afemai? ? You don't deserve to be informed because your negative terms which has no basis in the first place. It is obvious I don't belong to your contemporary. Go study to be well informed.

SUNNYsparkle:
Edo and Igbo are more related then Edo and Yoruba. However, the three were part and parcel of a Super Ancient group that was one before with Igala, Nupe etc. Even there were permutations that proto Igala-Igbo stretched to as far as Ghana. Why the name Igbomina, Oke-eri, Oka etc. All these people had a history no one talks about. More studies and research need to be carried out

DONT MISINFORM IF YOU DON'T KNOW. THEN ASK QUESTIONS. ERI IN YORUBA MEANS, WITNESS WHILE OKE IS MOUNTAIN TOP OR MOUNTAIN. YOU DID MENTION SOME YORUBA LAND WHICH YOU CLAIM NEED TO BE STUDIED. HOWEVER, MANY OF YOU FAILED BECAUSE OF YOUR PROPAGANDA. YORUBA HAVE BEEN USING THE WORD, “IGBO", BEFORE THE KNOWN EXISTENCE OF EBOES. AND IT WAS EBOES THAT CHANGED THEIR NAMES TO “IGBO". YOURUBA HAVE many country homes attached to “igbo" term. Don't change our history. Thanks. Proudly Yoruba.

SUNNYsparkle:
Let me clear my throat before talking to you so you hear me well. Now go to documented history, Benin is older than Ife, I hope I'm clear here. They spoke their language and unique culture which was older than ife. Please, how come Mr fluency, that Igbo and Edo, have four market days that sound alike. I'm talking about that market you are using as an illustration

EDO PEOPLE ARE FUNNY. WHERE ON EARTH DID YOU READ YOUR OWN HISTORY THAT SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED EDO CULTURE OLDER THAN ILE IFE?

ladiguy:
Yoruba didnt migrate to Edo .Go read history dude.

go to part of Akoko Edo, you will see for yourself. I am not interested in dealing with someone who doesn't have fact but based opinion on sentiments. Facts are facts. People naturally refer to ILE IFE as their ancestral home.

IF YOU ARE TALKING OF LANGUAGE, I BELIEVE YORUBOID, EDOID AND IGBOID ARE EQUALLY RELATED. A GOOD PART OF YORUBA VOCAB RHYMES WITH IGBO

IGBA- TIME
AGBALA- COURTYARD
GIRIPA- YOUNG MATURED MALE
OKUTA- STONE
OKA- MAIZE
EWURE- GOAT
AND ETC THERE IS A BOOK BY AN OAU PROF TREATING THE SUBJECT.


THE THING ABOUT YORUBA LANGUAGE IS IT STRUCTURALLY IS KEMITIC EGYPTIAN AND BY OVER 50 PERCENT VOCAB, THE REST OF THE VOCAB IS AKOKOID, NUPOID, EDOID, IGBOID , FON, IJAW, BARIBA, HAUSA AND ETC. IS IT A NIGER CONGO LANGUAGE? WELL, EVEN SIERRA LEONEAN CREOLE MAY NOW BE CLASSIFIED A NIGER CONGO LANGUAGE!. THE YORUBA LANGUAGE WAS NOT SPOKEN IN WEST AFRICA FIVE THOUSAND YEARS AGO, THE PRESENT YORUBA WERE AKOKOID WHICH MAY INFACT COLLAPSE INTO EDOID, IGBOID AND ETC AS AT THEN. HOWEVER NO ONE CAN UNDERSTAND EASILY ANY LANGUAGE SPOKEN 5000 YEARS AGO. THAT IS FOR LANGUAGE.

CULTURALLY, YORUBAS ARE CLOSER TO RUSSIANS, JAPANESE, BRITISH OR CHINESE THAN PRE NIGERIA IGBOS!. BUT AROCHUKWU IGBOS ARE CLOSER TO YORUBAS THAN THEY ARE TO THEIR FELLOW IGBOS THAT THEY SHARE BOUNDARY WITH.

Are you sure youruba are closer to the after mentioned countries above? Even the assumed 50% recognised spoken words of Yoruba related to Kemitic language can traced to different dynastic rule that existed before in Egypt at different times in history. However, certain words are more Asiatic or Middle East language in Yoruba language. But explain the research done to testify to the Yoruba language relationship with the countries you mentioned accordingly .I am curious.

ikukuhero:
Thanks for saying it over and over again. But, 'when' he comes on YOUR set date, will you be raptured? Is your heart right with God? Without holiness, NO BODY will make heaven. Better prepare dear Towncrier.

Holiness is not a guarantee to make heaven,THOUGH IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO STRIVE TO CONTINUE TO BE HOLY BUT BEING HOLY WITHOUT SIN IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. WHY?, THE DAY A MAN CLAIMS HE IS HOLY WITHOUT A SIN,HE TENTATIVELY BECOME THE SON OF THE DEVIL ,WHO CAN'T ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FROM GOD. THIS WAS AS A RESULT OF THE CONSEQUENCE OF ADAM AND EVE DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD. The scribe specifically mentioned it during the days of Jesus, when the scribes called him ‘good master' ,and he saw their heart and replied and said,‘ no man is good '. The Old Testament referred to holiness as one of the core cardinal to be able to please God because, of the future coming of the King of kings on planet earth and for humanity to just OBEY HIM. however, the greatest ticket to heaven is ‘GRACE' bestowed upon someone who has a contrite spirit. The father of the children of God from the Bible Abraham,wasn't a holy man but a man of faith and it was counted to him as being righteous. He lives forever because he believed what he did not see but heard the voice of God he knew not and hearken to him. This was awesome and glorious. This same mighty God loved Abraham so much and Bible called Abraham, a friend of God. THE CREATED being called a FRIEND to THE CREATOR. ISN'T IT SO MARVELLOUS?.

Obiagu1:
If you know that, then why all these Edos are our brothers when in reality their closest brothers are in the East?

Is it Yoruba propaganda or brainwashing?

DO YOU NOT KNOW YORUBA RACE MIGRATED TO EDO ENVIRONMENT SOME CENTURIES AGO TO PART OF EDO STATE ?. GO AND VERIFY, EVEN THEIR CHIEFS WILL TELL YOU THEIR HISTORY . YORUBA CAN CALL EDO LINEAGE, A BROTHER, BECAUSE OF THE KINGLY LINEAGE CONNECTION. FURTHERMORE THEY DREW INSPIRATION FROM YORUBA IRON AGE DEVELOPMENT AROUND 14TH CENTURY. HISTORY HAS RECORD OF IT. YORUBAS HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH EDOS FOR CENTURIES AND THIS DIDN'T CHANGE THE FACT THAT WE RECOGNISE THEIR SEPARATE IDENTITY FROM YORUBA RACE AND NEVER A TIME YORUBA FORCEFULLY LAY CLAIM TO EDO. UNLIKE YOU EBOES THAT WANT EVERY TRIBE TO BE CALLED EBOS JUST TO GRAB LAND AND HAVE ACESS TO THE SEE. BUT I TRUST YOU EBOES, YOU WILL NOT DARE SUCH IN YORUBA TERRITORY. I GUESS YOU HEARD WHAT DEJI AKURE TOLD YOUR EBOE PEOPLE THAT WANT TO MISBEHAVE ONDO STATE AS A WHOLE . IT IS STILL FRESH AND SIZZLING.

who d u think is developing Yoruba land isn't d IBO u Yoruba only HV educative sense not economic sense

Which Yoruba land did you develop? I am so disappointed in some f you Ebos with your rattling about helping Yoruba develop the homestead. My question to you people is, don't you benefit more from the contribution you make to the development you so lay claim on? After all, whenever you want to start up your business, you do it on Low scale and after a while, it begin to grow. So don't just mention irrelevant point because if it was easy to make money in the South East of Eboe land, you people would have spent all your money in investing your resources down there. And you people only contribute your own complimentary investment to the already existing ones in Yoruba land. Mention one company that its asset is worth more than Glo communication from an Ebo man? Odu'a investment? or Nigeria bottling company? all these companies brought about by Yoruba blood, should I continue? is it in Art?, you are all learners. Yoruba Race dont blow their trumpet but posterity judge all. Are the ebos that mapped out the industrial layout of Lagos State and South West ? DO YOU EVEN THINK IT WAS EVEN NIGERIA THAT DID IT? Then, you must be a joker. Awolowo and his squad did it for us. Don't ever opined you develop south West again !!!! Go and study to know who developed south west(Yoruba land) more and more.

I only obey the constitution of The federal republic of Nigeria and not any old school traditions.

At your own detriment if you don't believe in supernatural powers. An advice to you is for you not brag before fetish men. Even if you reside abroad as many do have access to on Nairaland then you must a lucky chap. However, once you visit the land of Sub sahara then you need to be humble yourself so as not to put yourself into trouble. The Bible which is the mostly read religious book testify to the power of kings. And if you feel you don't need to respect traditions,then,you are on your own. However, I have found characters as yours funny because if the British of this world, the Saudis of this world etc can stand with their tradition and kingly obedience then, you are a man or woman that need to be schooled on the advantages of tradition. I don't know where you come from? But I, being a Yoruba blood know the value of tradition. This doesn't make me fetish. Enjoy your federal Republic of savages(NIGERIA).

The constitution guarantees that a Nigerian is entitled to be voted for in any part of the country upon attaining 15years of stay in such a state. they have the right to be voted for in the NO MAN'S LAND. you migrated to it like every other Nigerian.Lagos is a NO MAN'S LAND for all Nigerians.

IS YOUR CONSTITUTION THE REAL CONSTITUTION OF THE ETHNIC GROUPS IN NIGERIA? YOU BETTER OBEY TRADITIONAL INSTITUTION,ELSE AT YOUR OWN PERIL

basilo102:
chai, why do yorubas feel threatened by igbo presence?? Deji, you can't ban freedom of association or whatever name a leader of any association decide to go by. Thank God you acknoledged the limits of your powers by the above statement
“However, it remains within the purview of the Igbo community to choose its own leadership and it is at liberty to present a Leader from among itself if it so desires.
it is also within the purview of the leader choosen to decide what he will be called, it is just ceremonial, you can only complain if he tries to exercise authority and not the name he bears

Go to a lawyer to interpret the difference between chieftaincy title position and association leader position in another domain alien to the visitors . Then you will understand your statutory right and limit on selection or appointment of association leader or ethnic representative in another kingdom ruled by traditional leaders with their Customs..

MrAdetunjiBayo:
We yoruba muslims disagree with you. Fayose is useless to us because he is not muslim. A muslim must lead yorubaland. Insha Allah!

Are you a Yoruba man at all? What has religion got to do with Yoruba leadership position? I am tempted to believe you are not a Yoruba man. In fact, you are not a Yoruba. As simple as ABC

I honestly tried to read your post until I read that Jona killed the economy. I remembered that zombies no get brain...

Jonathan did more for the SW than 1000 Jagaban Jagbajantis can ever do but your head is too far up his butt for u to think clearly. See what Jona did for ingrates like you in the SW www.bpp.gov.ng

Look at a clueless informant who doesn't know the truth. Jonathan helped SW and SW voted against. Are you for real?, Go and read the meaning of economic development. If a government of Uncle Jonah could instruct his subordinate at federal government agencies to kept sharing Federation account as if it was party time. And Your Jonah dole out contracts to NGDeltaBOIS to pacify them. As uneducated as you are, how many developed nations really based development on natural resources to develop? Human capital development makes a country great. Either you like it or not, in recession, Nigeria is,and your Jonah caused it for all of us. So enjoy it while it last.

nku5:
I couldnt read your gibberish

Tinubu has sold you jagaban yorubas, the real Yorubas and the rest of Southern Nigeria in exchange for a VP position that he still failed to get.

Jonathan's National Conference could have wwww SW resource control and untold riches from Lagos Port alone. Enjoy ya recession

you are a clown. A big cloned clown who doesnt realize that Jonathan killed the economy before he left. Although I don't care about Buhari either because Fulanis and Eboes do have same ideology of suppression and subjugation of other tribe or ethnicity. Recession is something that is inevitable because monotonous economy that is based on oil. And if you think Jonathan national conference will do the magic, then you must be living in Eldora. Southern Nigeria can't have control on their resources except unity or absolute breakdown of the country which won't be easy. All thanks to you people. Yoruba nation has always asked for merging of 80% of Kwara and parts of kogi(Kaaba province) precisely to South West from the foundation of fake Nigeria which was created by the British Empire. And your grandfathers were too greedy to maintain the status quo until the civil war. So, don't blame Yoruba Race for your self inflicted woes. And recession is for all of us. Traders like you people will feel the pain more .Sorry oooo. Lick your wound.

Thank you bro

with great humility do I appreciate your remark. God bless you.

Southern Nigeria has many nations not only Igbos and yoruba. So jagaban yorubas sold out the entire South thinking you were doing Igbos

Today SW states cant pay salaries despite the fact that Lagos ports rakes in tens of billions of naira monthly. All because of resource control scuttled by jagabajantis afonja

Grow up

I am so surprised at some of you that feel they know the history of Nigeria more than Nigeria herself. When did Yoruba betrayed you? are we the ones that made you nomadic Race? From the days of Nnamdi Azikwe to Aguiyi Ironsi etc who destroyed Nigeria with UNITARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT and because of hatred for Yoruba Race. A wicked Aguiyi Ironsi denied Awolowo freedom after your Nnamdi Azikwe and others planned against Awolowo and accused him of secession. Didn't your lying historians tell you that Awolowo was sent to jail for treason felony and trying to secede in 1964?, I will even be one of the happiest if Nigeria can dismantle and see how far you can go on your development? An Ebo Race that solely believe in importation of all sort of substandard goods. Yet, you people refuse to know that it is in the other parts of the country especially South West that your imported goods are consume on a regular basis. Secede and let see how far you can go on self development. Recently, Nigeria bottling company celebrated 65 years existence in Nigeria, have you checked on history who brought Nigeria bottling company to Nigeria? That is the difference between a YORUBA RACE and the rest of you all. “WE TALK AND DO".All in your lives, you worship money in your part of the country. Yoruba don't worship but believe in hard work as well as grace of God. And also give respect to whom is due either as a rich man or a pauper. Truthfully, your Race need to sit down,pause for a while, do a real nostalgia to be able to project the future for self acclaimed JEWISH RACE with no strong evidence. Even if there is any iota of truth in it, you are all so lazy to do more research on your identity. TALK AND NOT DO RACE. I hope you are not traveling to the East during December's festive period , because the yearly routine of ambush and robbery is inevitable. A Race that claim to love themselves and yet see no reason to rob themselves at random. A pity petty pseudo Race. Yoruba blood eternally.

omoluabi means a "gentle man"

Nope,it has nothing to do with gentle man. An individual can be gentle and still be cunning and wicked . “Omoluabi" means someone who is well behaved in the society with adorable character whom can be shown as role model to others to emulate.

My dear, you have documents relating to Yoruba history which I don't doubt your knowledge. And I do have a lot of documents beyond Nigeria to show uniqueness of Yoruba history. I have read many books showing Yoruba connection to Egypt ,even with reference to Lucas who studied Yoruba language of having nearly 50% of similarity with Yoruba language but he failed to notice that if Tribe as Israel could spend 430 years in Egypt,then what will that apply regarding their language?, Even the GA people of Ghana whose ancestral home is from ILE IFE cannot speak Yoruba language as those in Nigeria do. The Yoruba people who are called ANAGO in Bénin Republic speak variations of Yoruba language and some are even deeper with twist tongue though if One pay attention, one will realise that the language is Yoruba. How much undocumented language ?, I did opined at one point in a Yoruba forum that ,it wasnt ordinary Late Bishop Ajayi crowther and Late Rev. Samuel Johnson were chosen to helped keep the proper foundation for tracing Yoruba history. Furthermore on Egypt relation, there are certain differences are noticed, ranging from Death passage rites,mourning rites, levirate, Monotheistic Supreme being over all the other deities, greeting pattern,panegyric(family oriki), naming ceremony, circumcision, elders role in the society, kings role in the society, priest roles, Homogeneous nature. Even, the OPA ORANMIYAN has been proven to not to have any connection with Egypt. And I don't have any problem with OOni calling JESUS as his father. Yoruba power is enshrined in conjuring asé (ORO) to command and it comes to manifestation. I guess, ooni realise that Eledumare / Olodumare whom ancient Yoruba people spread their hands in anguish to ask for help whenever they were in problems. I am tempted to inform you that certain facts and books have been found to show Yoruba outside Nigeria as a whole. The Yoruba Race is the most studied Race in the world. In 1976,it was mentioned that Yoruba have been documented by different authors with over 3,448 minus the omitted ones. Between 1976 and 2016 ,you can count 40 years. Let us study more to know about our shrouded history that kept pointing out our tradition as Semitic /Phoenicians group

You are a retarded educated illiterate who doesn't worth having access to the websites.

I find many of the unwarranted nose poking into a sacred matter such as the tussle between the purported two individuals of the same lineage.

Yoruba language wasn't fundamentally Founded on name tainting but personages ideology. “Omoluabi" character is well enshrined in an average Yoruba person's.

Agboniregun, the son of Orunmila is the one who thought Ifa to Oduduwa, I say therefore that Oduduwa came after Orunmila.

Oduduwa is a stranger in this parts though, I believe Agboniregun and his father Orunmila are aborigines.

Agboniregun was orunmiela. And not a son to him. Once orunmiela's eulogy begins, he is referred as Baba Agboniregun. This has nothing to do with being a father of sort because, the ancient Yoruba word for Father was 'Ba'. Instead, it was used to address him as his other name. In the ancient times, nick name was part of a way to identify a person apart from the birth name was more feared if for instance, one's Nick name was associated with one form of dreaded word. Olofin Adimula was the name of the finest leader among them who was Odua. The name was not his name but Adimuela. Odua/Adua/JAddua was the place where his father was killed. And migration took place after the place was Destroyed. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHERE THE EYES IS FROM USED BY THE OGBONI? AND HOW MANY KINGDOMS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD PRACTISED IT BEFORE ARRIVAL AT ILE IFE.

Look at it this way, very soon we will be advanced enough to land on a habitable planet from Earth. People will go as a team and will maintain communication with the home planet. The first person to land would be Ogun, the most senior of the astronauts would be Obatala and when they settled down, their chief was Oduduwa while Obatala provided moral guidance as first Oluwo the head of the Ogboni that was supreme court over the government.

Oduduwa is anyone whose conduct cam never be faulted. He can always defend himself or herself. He does not need anyones forgivene. He wrongs no one. That was the first Olofin Ajala aye


Obatala is a father always clothed in white, the benevolent father. He chairs the commitee that is the Supreme court over the government


Ogun was the first to land. The Ashiwaju Imole. He is very intelligent. He is an innovator. He brings innovation for human advancement. He is a warrior. A no nonesense person and etc.


Orunmila is the Abanidamoran bi iyekan eni. Orunmila offers advise like a next of kin, as if the matter concerns him, as if he were you. He was a magician. He established a kind of IUPAC like nomenclature for magic with the 256 odus, he then started initiating people in the system. A system with many graduates today who are proficient in the magic aspect of theology.


So who landed on Earth first was Ogun, the most senior was Obatala, Orunmila was a priest with clerical duties while Oduduwa was the Olofin Ajala aye.

All of them were people who wore Robes when they Arrived at ILE IFE. And let's face it and be truthful, there is something called agbè or ègbè in Yoruba. Which was used in the ancient time and it has record too in the Bible when Stephen baptized an Ethiopian. Having opined this, they were all men of occult before they arrived at ILE IFE. their movement were through boat,horse riding, donkey riding and rekking
