Yoruba okun should be in that list. The okun people in kogi state are 100% Yoruba.

Incomplete..

There are yorubas in Kogi, okun/ yagba there are Ijo, Irun, Ijumu
Yorubas in Brazil, and other south American countries

But according to most Yoruba people, they say there are no Igbos outside the south east. Does it make any sense?

Not complete even within Nigeria not to talk of the yoruba peoples of Benin Republic, Togo, Cuba, Brazil etc.
Oga, kindly educate me oo. Are you saying there are people in Cuba and Brazil who speak Yoruba or a dialect of Yoruba? If yes, kindly share a video clip. I mean indigenous people of Cuba and Brazil not japa people oo.

Obasanjo's Owu People are not there

Ilajes ND many more are not yorubas
Don't try it

Their King the Olugbo is still claiming that his throne is the oldest Yoruba Throne because it was their forefathers Oduduwa met at Ile Ife

MrOkenwa:
Ketu- they are not ohoris. Alaketu of ketu is a prominent Yoruba monarch.
Eguns- They’re prominent people in yewa, ogun state.
Anago- It’s a name used to describe Yoruba people in some neighborhoods like Togo and Benin republic but there is a small tribe in yewa known as anago.
The eguns have their own unique language and culture though, they’re part of us.
More precisely, Yoruba is split into like four to five groups in Benin republic; the ohori living around ketu, sabe, the idaasha, living across the weme river, the isha living in Bante, Manigri etc, the shaworo group in Tsaorou where the former president Boni Yayi came from and we also have the Ana-Ife group in Kambole, Anie and Atamkpame in Togo

Yes, Linguistical and archeological studies have shown/postulated that ilaje/itshekiri area is where the oldest or purest form of yoruba exists and its confirm by the olugbo that they were the aborigines chased away from ife in the Moremi stories
