What's their population in those places?..

Most of the people you call Hausa are actually not Hausa.. Yoruba population in Kwara state number over 2.5 million... The Yoruba people in kogi have the largest landmass with a population of approximately 1 million people. The whole kogi west and some part of kogi central is Yoruba land. There's no way the egbira outnumber the Yoruba in kogi, there's a lot of controversy surrounding the kogi population..

No part of kogi central is yorubaland

Also in Mokwa. Besides, indigenous Hausa are not much in Niger state. Perhaps, you are confusing yourself with Niger republic.

No Igbo in any North central State. But we have alot of Igala in the East. Anambra is even an Igala ancestral State. Some parts of Enugu are Igala too.

Igbo States are only Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and half of Enugu States

Even if you migrated to a place already inhabited and established by a group or ethnic group 1,000 years ago, you are not an indigenes but a visitor. Gbam

According to history books written by a late king and another prominent historian from the community, they admitted that they can't decipher the exact origins of ogori-magongo.

However,history records that they were once in Benin due to some ancient swords of Benin make that ogori possesses and the ogori crown which is confirmed to be of Benin make,but ogori was probably in Benin as visitors and didn't originate from there.

Some clans also recall presence in the owo,Akoko zone as passersby probably on the journey from benin before finally settling in their current location

Some clans recall presence in as far as idomaland crossing the river Niger from the east end into ajaokuta and okpella axis,then to the northern Edo axis before settling in their current abode.

Note: that the okpella which isn't too far from ogori have in their history that they met an aborigine group called okwo in the lands they currently are.

Ogori actually call themselves okwo.so it probably might have been the same group.

Some narratives also state IFE origins but it's highly disputed and as been refuted by many historians within the community.

Some clans also state that they are autochonos and didn't migrate from anywere,the language highly supports this view.

In summary ,ogori seems to have a very ancient history, forming from an autochonos/aborigine group and later migrants from close by mainly from Benin and the Akoko zone.

Note: ogori arrived and had formed way before the ebira coming to that zone

Founding members include onu,adubane,oso,and ENI,however the name ogori is a corruption of the name of an ancestor called igoli,while mangogo is the corruption of the name of another ancestor called unagogo

Ogori-Magongo people are said to have descended from an adventurous prince of Ile Ife, one of the earliest settlements of the Yoruba ethnic nation.

What is not true? That you migrated to a place already inhabited then claiming to be indigenous because of your population. Na fat lie. Except it's by assimilation or total conquest, nothing like indigenous if you migrated to well established place.

No doubt Hausa are indigenous to few local government hence doesn't tantamount to being the largest indigenous ethnic groups in Niger state. Fat lie.

However, if you're counting the Hausa that migrated from other states then count Igbos that has thousands of migrants there now.

Afterall, they might have migrated there 70 years ago

Benin the corruption of Ilu Ibinu people are Ife married with Edos. Infact, the official language in the Obas palace was Yoruba before oyinbo came. Meaning, majority of Benin people have their descent from Ife but today they claim Benin.

This history tale from this website is gotten from the book written by Gideon eyika called the people and culture of ogori,it has been discredited as not factual.

The authentic history is the one written by the late ologori GB Akerejola( history of ogori) and the one written by Baba. Oshiedu ( historical facts on ogori) quoted here which also as some disputed facts pertaining to the formation of the language,it has been proven that ogori language is not ena,it is not a mixture but an aborigine language.

The adventurous prince issue of ogori called akinbiyi as been discredited.There was no akinyibi.It is a concocted tale to legitimise ogori royalty during the colonial times.unFortunately people like this website run with it and mislead people like you.

Ogori Magogo are hybrid of Ebira and Yoruba just like Akoko Edo.

It was clearly stated in their history they came from Ife. Oludo was the first settler in one quarter while Akinbuyi in another quarter.

Unagogo was Oludo's son which later metaphor to Magogo.

Either ways, they migrated from Ile Ife but has somehow changed in language.

Show me one newspaper article or journal article discrediting it.

It is obvious you are not from that place because majority of Ogori Magogo speak Yoruba language fluently.

And before you lie that it's because of Yoruba politics. Ogori/Mangogo has always been in northern Nigeria control since independence.
