Why do you guys think only itshekiri are Yoruboid in Delta state. We Ugbodu/ Olukunmi in Delta state are also Yoruboid.

Many Benin speak Yoruba fluently.

IJOBA11:
NOW TELL ME, DO EDO PEOPLE AND YORUBAS SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE

YOU WANT EDO THAT DOES’NT SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE WITH YORUBAS TO UNITE AS ONE NATION BUT HATE TO SEE IGBOS THAT SHARE EVERYTHING INCLUDING NAME, LANGUAGE AND TRADITIONS WITH ANIOMA PEOPLE OF DELTA STATE TO HAVE A SEPARATE COUNTRY


BKAYY
ACHALUGONWA
ADADIKE
NGENEUKWUENU
CILICMARIN
MONOGAMY
OBALOLA55
TUTUDEZ
ERASETHEDOT

And who come get the other element Fulani Lol

Before people start posting trash. YORUBA related group is not only Igala, but nupe, borgu, tribes in the Republic of Benin and tribes in South South of Nigeria.

Idiko1:
The bolded is arrant nonsense!!! Yoruba migrated to present day Nigeria from southern part of Upper Volta which was northern part of Gold Coast. They formed a migratory team with Fulani and settled in Oyo ile which was 30 to 40 miles north of Ilorin, Kwara State. The southward movement of Yoruba was as a result of uproot precipitated by Fulani and Nupe. The crap about Ife is a made-up story.

A renown drunkard must have authored your book of history. The book published must be under the influence of strong captivity.

The igala people of Kogi state are part of the Yoruba race, the igala language is a branch of the yoruba language.

Igala people even though living in the middle belt of Nigeria have the same ancestors and share the same culture and traditions with the yoruba people just like the ishekiris in the niger delta and the Bini people of Edo state.

The dialect of the igala people Idah, Imane, Ankpa, Dekina, Ogugu, Ibaji and Ife all have the same sounds and intonations with yoruba language even many yoruba people understand what an igala person is saying.

Conehead aren't you supposed to be skull mining

Atiwaye:
Many Benin speak Yoruba fluently.

BUT ALL ANIOMA PEOPLE THAT SPEAKS IGBO FLUENTLY AND SHARE THE SAME CUSTOMS AND TRADITION SHOULD NEVER JOIN THEIR IGBO KINSMEN IN THE EAST AS A NATION.


I’M ASHAMED OF YOU

Y'all arguing to me is useless,Igala are of two type the Igbiod and the Yorubiod,the former looks and speak like Igbo,same culture and religion,the latter speak and and look like Yoruba also culture and religion included

See me see whala oo when did I say Anioma shouldn't join biafra man?

Aboki. When you want to make a claim of anthropology, you need to provide historical and scientific facts and back up with reliable, verifiable sources of previous works that strengthens your claim or you seek to disprove.
Or are you people starting your own aboki science?

Sammy07:
Well, that's the decision of igalas themselves, if they want to go with Igbos fine, if they prefer Yorubas fine and If they wish you go with northerner people so be it.

As for Omoluabi wey i be, Yorubas are going with the 6 states of South west and with a referendum for Itshekiri (Delta), Kwara south and Kwara central, Kogi West and igalas

I'm surprised and ashamed that you a Yoruba will join him in this foolery. What next? That Nupes are yoruboid or whatever you call it too?
Commonsense dictates he brings proof to back up his claim.
You should be wiser than allow an aboki whine you up based on hate for another people who don't want to be with them.

I guess it takes a person whose history book is authored by a renowned drunkard and published under influence of strong captivity to recognize another. I suggest you get off your lazy behind and find historic records of true events. Stop reading from the Ojos and Olumides.

Igala language is a Yoruboid language, that's the fact everyone knows

Sammy07:
Oga shut up, I dare you to write 5 sentences in Igala if I won't as a Yoruba guy understand 60% of it.

Yet Igala is not a Yoruboid language

Are you a dunce? My previous post was in line with the fact that some part of Kogi West has a vernacular intelligible to a Yoruba person due to close affinity with Ekiti, Osun and Ondo States.

How because they shared close boundary with Those states means everyone in those states will understand the language

And why don't Yoruba in Kwara understood Nupe

Or Yorubas in Okun understood Igbira

BKayy:
Leave these wicked people. If you follow their mouth, you'll behave like a fool.
Apart from Ikwerre and Ika, we are going with all our brothers, even the Ekpeye inside Bayelsa won't be left with the swamp people.
Every body is moving with the Igbo ship

Swamp people ki, Lol, u get mouth. Those are my people o. But sha, long live Biafra.

Someone is envious of a certain thread that shows Idoma people are overwhelmingly pro Biafra.

Praxis758:
Itsekiri and Yoruba land are connected via Atlantic Ocean. Same way Alaska in the US gets connected to the mainland US.

A simple study of the map will teach you that Alaska is closer to Russia and and shares thousands of miles of boundary with Canada but far and detached from the US in physical land territory.

We oduduwas and the Itsekiris will connect same way Alaska and mainland US connect together.

Pls tell me the diplomatic and economic factors that favours Edo Republic if they get independent Republic?

When you don't know about something you should ask questions. Do you even know the history of Alaska and how it became part of United States? Alaska was originally part of USSR/Russia before they sold it to America. Go and read history!

You now want to compare your situation with America, really? You think UN will allow Itshekiri that has no land border with Oduduwa to join them when they know the sort of problems and logistic challenges it will create?

You really need to go read about the UN and the factors they consider before granting autonomy or drawing boundaries for new nations.

Sammy07:

You are arguing foolishly. Those Kwarans with close affinity with Nupe, be them Yoruba or Fulani, can understand few Nupe.

Sammy07:


You served in Kogi yet you don't understand igala language

Let's type igala words and see who will understand igala language better than Yoruba people



This is igala language, yet you tell me its not Yoruboid

An average Ekiti or Ondo man like me will understand igala easily

Ojo is God not day
Anẹ is land and not night...
This selective amnesia from Yorubas is getting very toxic!

zero8zero:
Why do you guys think only itshekiri are Yoruboid in Delta state. We Ugbodu/ Olukunmi in Delta state are also Yoruboid.

The moment you claim Yoruba, you lose those lands you're occupying. Your history on that land can be traced to the time you arrived as refugees fleeing from oppression.

The case of Itsekiri is quite different because they're indigenous to the lands they occupy unlike you. So you better be careful and know what you wish for.

Sammy07:


Guy do you know what's you're saying?

From ilaje, I do go to,warri without passing Edo

Stop saying what you don't know because there are people who are from the place.

I'm from Ondo state and Ilaje is connected to Warri

You're a dunce, do you pass through land or sea? Is there any land connection between both places?

You can only have Itshekiri if Edo people accept to go with Oduduwa otherwise forget it, it won't work!

Unfortunately for you guys, Edo people don't seem to be interested in going with Oduduwa so your claim to Itshekiri becomes null and void because UN will never endorse such arrangement.

reminds me of a funny story. In the early eighties when my dad just got to the north, Kaduna to be precise, he started greeting the Igala people he came across in Yoruba language but they would not respond. It was a colleague, an Idoma man who told him he should stop greeting them in Yoruba as they are not Yorubas. According yo my old man, what he found funny was their similar tribal marks and their pronunciation which is also similar to the Yorubas.

I'm a good student of international diplomacy and history. Alaska was bought from USSR and the later is history.

UN cannot stop the Itsekiris from joining the Yorubas if they wish. Boundary can be either land or Maritime which is legal and permitted under international jurisprudence and boundary.

Internal agreement through referendum/consensus is all the UN needs to append its signature. History, etymology and culture are all in favour of such a union.
Our proximity through the maritime territory in Ondo state is an added advantage. And note that my insistence is not based in the oil deposit in the Itsekiri land but the cultural and historical affiliations.
