Just be expecting the nairalanders from the land of igogomigodo to crucify you for this.

There has been so much admixture in history of the people of Niger area. We all share the same dna. Work together for good or kill yourselves, that’s history too. What ties us together is the great river. Go and empty it so we can all go our separate ways.

Nop Itsekiris' are from Yoruba and not Urhobo.
Re: edo, Uhrobo And Itsekiri Are Yorubas..... by Oghene1st: 6:49am On Feb 25, 2022
How are we similar to the Yorubas? Yoruba that has no culture other than Ewedu and Amala, Agbada and Adire? Urhobo is similar to Igbo in cultural practices, though not same with Igbo either in language or traditional practices.

You need to understand that Urhobo, Edo and the Anioma fought to break out of old western region due to differences in culture, and plan by Yoruba to assimilate them.

The only tribe similar to Yoruba is Itsekiri and they frustrated the breakaway moves (to leave old western region) by other ethnic groups in Midwest Nigeria. Why? Itsekiri knew that once the Midwest is created, they will become irrelevant. And truly, they were politically irelevant in Bendel politics and in Delta politics.

As an Urhobo man, I don't understand Yoruba, and Yoruba man can't understand me. We don't have similar culture with Yoruba, not in marriage practices, welcoming of visitors; our foods are different, our names are different, our mindsets are different, our traditional wears are different, etc. So what is the link?

The only tribe similar to Urhobo is Isoko.

Funny thread.

Yorubas can annex Urhobo, Isoko and Ishekiri but they shouldn't come close to Anioma, Ika and Ndokwa because these are Igboid groups and Igbo linguistically related people in Delta.

there is no way the bini people are from yoruba. people should not forget that before the coming of the controversial king (ikaladarain ne ovio ogiso) which the bini claim ran to ife while the yoruba says he was sent down to bini, this two tribes have been in existence. the binis have had igodomigodo dynasty down to that of the ogiso's while the yorubas also have their own as well.the way of life regarding the binis and yoruba are way different , greetings, marriage, dress codes, food and so on. the word oba came into play in the bini kindgom because of this controversial king and other similarities. how come the ooni of ife father is still alive while his son is the ooni ?? while in bini it not so. there as so many things and differences that put this two tribes mile apart and i do belive it because of this annexing issues middle belt region was created like someone right said here

You are even incoherent in your attempt to give it a basis in history.

Like it is well established, it is the Bini royalty that started from Oranmiyan,a grandson of Oduduwa that is 100% Yoruba, you are right if you as a Bini subject may not be Yoruba.

But for the Bini royal family, they are Yoruba and the family house is still in Ile Ife .

To complete his rites to the throne of Oranmiyan, every Oba of Bini must go to Ile Ife at assumption of the throne and historically return to Ife at his demise by burying his head there. No Ooni goes to Bini to complete his rites to the throne, same way no Alaafin goes to Bini.

The current Oba still did same by visiting Ile Ife to complete that leg of ascension to the throne of Oranmiyan in Bini. It is not the other way round and in heirarchy, next in line to Ooni is not even the Oba of Bini because Alaafin still comes ahead of him.

I repeat, this is not for the subjects of the Oba of Bini but the royalty. This is where the Itsekiris are different, they are Yorubas but got their crown from Bini royalty who are actually Yoruba.
What OP is alluding to is that the Omawunmi video is sang in Itsekiri language yet every word , the itsekiri word , she pronounced in that video is Yoruba variant and a Yoruba can understand it clearly yet she is speaking Itsekiri in the song.

For most folks who do not know this, OP just tried to educate them.

Yoruba has enough priorities to focus on that annexing those who are not homogenous with the Yoruba. Creation of mid-west was supported by the mainstream Yoruba whereas the same request for other minorities to have their own seperate region from the old eastern region was not possible.

Finally, every race and tribe is related because we are all creatures of God.

guy go and check the bini history, there was nothing like orumiyan in the days of igodomigodo and that of the ogiso's. the picture u posted is during eware 2 visitation to all kings that where present in his coronation as a thank u visit. during eware 2 coronation he said the lost prince should be added to the rulers of bini dough he did not rule, so instead of him be the 39 oba, he should be the 40th adding the lost prince. orumiyan as u claim, him papa dm neva born am nor to talk of him self

Please calm down sir. You are not Yoruba but the Bini royalty is.

If you do not know Oranmiyan then you are obviously not Bini too and you either go and read up or there is no point discussing with you. I thought some non-Yoruba claim that the Benin monarch does not leave his palace and have you not wondered why he did not visit other royal fathers that attended his ceremony or you did not know that few of them attended too. That is the problem with lying, when you say one lie you will need other lies to cover it.
You are definitely not Yoruba and it is obvious I never insinuated that you are one.
OP just educated few people who do not even know that Itsekiri language is a variant of Yoruba language.

Btw, there is nothing special about a monarch of Yoruba descent, visiting Ile Ife since their root and family house still exists in Ile Ife.

Just few days ago,the King of the Ga,King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II of Gã State, in far away Ghana visited Ile Ife just like the Oba of Bini so the visit is in line with history and tradition. Those who value their root do not joke with it. If a whole Ga King can come all the way from Ghana on pilgrimage to his root then it should tell you why it is not different from the other visits by other royal fathers of Yoruba descent to Ile Ife.

Just in case you do not know the Ga people who are Yoruba, The Ga-speaking peoples are organized into six independent towns (Accra, Osu, Labadi, Teshi, Nungua, and Tema).
Accra is the capital of Ghana and it is the land owned by Yoruba-descendant Ga people of Ghana who migrated from Ile Ife wink

bros go check, the oba of bini went to sokoto as well to thank the emir dere for coming to his coronation. Google is your friend, now when the bini says oba does not leave is palace it is true just as the king to don't see eye to eye with his first son (heir apparent). but this things where abolished during eweka/eradiawa time as kings. look there are alot of forbidden things this kings both past and present has stop, so many to count. now awolowo never supported the creation of Midwest. just do some googling you will get more answers and info regarding awolowo against the creation of Midwest, it was oba eweka and some prominent deltains (igbo, urhobo ishekis and co) that fought for it
