What is the meaning of AWORI? Why do Awori people call themselves Omo Olofin? Who is Olofin and where did he migrate from?

IamAtikulate:
Ok.

He is still a national hero


Find out why Kenya is sanctioning Flutterwave. Tinubu wasn't arrested to the plea bargain.



He provided the platform for the drug lords. He knew about the them.


He is the best investigative journalist in the country. He is a national hero.



My estate friend is from Ilaje and he is not Yoruba. FACT

huptin:
Hundeyin is Egun..his surname says it all...remember Djimon Hunsu? Compare the surname with Hundeyin and see the similarity....Hun is a god peculiar to the Eguns...I know so many Hundeyins the family is a popular one in Badagry!

wiseoneking:
sowore is ijaw. Also add Benin people of Edi state.

Present Oba of Lagos is Benin...Edo decendants.

Many of the people of Eti osa local government migrated from Benin...Edo.

IamAtikulate:
You see how painful it is when you people claim Delta Igbos are not Igbos and at the same time say the 1965 coup is an Igbo coup.

We know Aworis are Yorubas, but we just want you guys to see how foolish your thinking about Delta Igbos are.

We will continue to push that narrative until Yorubas repent.


Mumu. You keep writing nonsense and adding fact at the end.
Aworis are Yorubas but Egun, Ilajes and Ijebu are not. They don't even share the same ancestry. They were only Yorubanised due to closeness to Oyo Empire.

FACT

Throwback:
Awori are in Badagry too, just as Egun are in Ipokia region of Ogun State too.

candidtalk:
You're the one crying. Obvious you're obsessed with the Yorubas and crave their validation.

Why don't you check my posts and topic to see if anything indicate I give a toss about IPOBians.

Should we do same for you? What will we find?

Dsalvo:
Guy, "FemiFasola" is an Igbo poster.

Even the silly name, a desperate and obvious attempt to appear Yoruba, is a giveaway.

Bruv, dey check past post na. IPOB mischief-maker catching cruise and Yorubas are actually indulging him. Na fcking wa sef.

Lmao..

The same David hundeyin who claimed he was from Kwara?

Hun isn't any god peculiar to anyone in Africa.
And it's Djimon Hounsou..

David Hundeyin doesn't know where he came from I repeat.

The word "Egun" itself came from Yoruba language. Some of Egun's words like dugbe is from Yoruba. Dugbe is a town in Oyo. Egun came from Oyo empire which has its root in Ile ife.

Of course Egun's language may have been modified due to their interaction with other tribes in Benin Republic, considering Dahomey enslaved them back then however your root isn't tied to your language but tied to your culture and historical root. Egun's culture is same as Yoruba's. Egun's gods are Sango, IFA, Ga.. These are Yoruba's gods. Their Old languages has deep resemblance with Yoruba. They greet the same way Yoruba greets. They also give oriki like Yorubas do.

Femifasola:
Eguns aren't yorubas like us, unity begger. If language is not a factor then what else. Stop claiming them, I am contended with just Yorubas of 5 states. Lagos belong to the Eguns and we should respect our host

IamAtikulate:
Crave Yoruba validation?

You guys are clearly overestimating yourselves.

Ekealterego:
Egun or Ogu people didn't migrate to that place, that is their ancestral lands. If anything, they were pushed back during the Oyo empire expansion.
Egun or Ogu people are from the great Dahomey kingdom who defeated the Oyo Empire.

Due to their location, they are traditionally water people who engage in fishing, basket making etc.

I know. But they are not Yoruba

You don’t have a Clue do you ?

You are just making up lies as you go along


Oba of Egun Badagry got his staff of office from Ile Ife

Our forefathers were Visionary Nation builders you know


The Ife Princes were not sent out haphazardly in every direction without a trace or Purpose

They were sent out by Oduduwa to build durable Kingdoms that were built on Justice and Equity

Ekealterego:
Are Ogu/Egun yorubas?

Even 70 years ago, Ijebu and Egba do not even identify as Yorubas.

The whole people were called, "Akus" and Yoruba was just part of the Akus.

Again, there is not one single proof of all these origin stories. No group can say with certainty which particular spot they originated from. Most are folklores at best.

Bottom-line, Egun do not speak a language that is close or even related to Yoruba. So, how did their language just change from Yoruba to a completely strange unrelated language that is Fon/Gbe language?

By the way, this documents from Kölle in the 1800 proves what I am saying about the Yoruba ethnicity.

The Egun migrated from Ife and are descendants of Oduduwa


Edo and Urhobo speak different Languages that doesn’t mean they don’t share the same Ancestry and

History the two tribes are Siblings

Ekealterego:
Brother, Urhobo is an Edoid language. They are related.
Ogu on the other hand, IS NOT a related language in ANY way.
Oduduwa that fell from the sky magically birthed a people that spoke an unrelated language.
Oduduwa birthing all people in the SW is just folklore.

Says an Ipob miscreant.

Go tell that to the Oba of badagry, if he won't slap you.

Meanwhile, it's Awori, Ijebus and Egbas who own the majority of Lagos.

Look at Oba of badagry below. Look at his beaded crown like Ile Ife kings. Look at his cap like a typical Yoruba. Look at the beads on his neck and hands like a typical titled Yoruba. Look at his "aso oke" cloth which is Yoruba cultural attires.

Ojuntana:
You're misinterpreting the headline. There are Yorubas in badagry but Badagry is predominantly an Egun town. If you've been there, you'll know they don't identify as Yoruba. Your headline is talking about Yorubas in Badagry not the Egun people

Femifasola:
I'm proudly an ile ife born child, we're the real yoruba even

Will you keep quiet, ipob miscreants?

Christistruth00:
Chief Wawu that was Interviewed and Confirmed that the Egun Migrated from Ile Ife is an Egun High Chief of Badagry

The man understands what he is saying


The Egun descended from the Yoruba Popos Of Togo and Benin Republic but adopted the Language Of the Neigbhours just like many Fulani Adopted the Hausa Language and no longer speak their original Fulfulde

princdebola201:
oponu so where re we from?

Our progenitor olofin ogunfunmire was an ife prince.

Ojuntana:
Can you quote or screenshot where he said Egun migrated from Ile ife?

Femifasola:
See this one. I'm just an osun village boy who hasn't gone out of my state interested in knowing much about my region Nd how is that a crime

Christistruth00:
The Hausa and Fulani Languages are unrelated

And yet many Consider Hausa Fulani to be the Same People


Even your Igbo Nri Clan Claim their
Ancestors fell from the Sky on one nice a sunny day and Crash landed somewhere in the East

It is my belief that igbos has the largest population in Nigeria if you at the fact that they are more homogeneous than every other groups.
