Awori people resulted from a mixture of Ebira-Koto and Ugbo/Ilaje peoples. in 12th century, Igbira (Apa) people under their warlord called Odaudu (Oduduwa) migrated from ancient Ebira Kingdom of Opanda to Ife and conquered Ugbo/Orinsala aborigins of Ile-Ife. after he overthrew the Alafin/Olofin of Ugbo in Ife and Oyo, he and his Ebira warriors went to Benin (Igodomigodo) and overthrown the Ogiso and Uzama dynasties. Oranmiyan was not a son or grandson of Oduduwa. you have to know that Oduduwa is the same person which Yorubas called Oranmiyan/Oloko or Oranyan who was an Ebira warrior and conqueror from ancient Igbira Kingdom of Opanda which was called Kwararafa by Hausas. aboriginal Ugbos of Ife called him "Oduduwa". from Benin in 17th century, those Igbira warriors under their leader called Ado (Ada) migrates to Lagos Island and conquered and mix with Ugbo/Ilaje aborigins and some people called Fon. this mixture of Igbira with Ugbo and Fon people in Lagos area gave rise to Awori people and their language.

These warriors are Ebira-Apa people from ancient Opanda Kingdom, they are not Jukuns. in 16th and 19th centuries, Ebira-Koto (Apa) people conquered Chamba, Mumuye and Tiv people and mix with them. this mixture of Ebira-Koto (Apa) people and other peoples has resulted to Jukun people and their Language.

in 12th century, Igbira people migrate from ancient Opanda Kingdom to Benin Empire. after they have conquer Benin dynasty of Ogiso and Uzama, some of these Igbira warriors headed by their prince Ado (Ada), went to Lagos Island and conquer Ilaje (Ugbo People) and mix with them. this mixture of Igbira and Ilaje peoples has resulted to Awori People and their Language.

the Abuja you are talking about is not present FCT Abuja. you are talking of old abuja (suleja). the present FCT Abuja, made up by small villages of Asokoro, Garki, Idu-koto, Nyanya, Wuse and others was founded and owned by Ebira-Koto people. Gwari people migrate in latter from Northern Nigeria in 19 century, and was given land by Ebira-koto King at Gwarinpa to settle and farm.

Ebira (Ebura) are the original people called Hebrew who scattered all over the world, but many people dont know about this history. i will soon tell you about this history.
