Nairaland doesn't belong to you na. The point remains Hausa are not the majority indigenous people in Niger state. Fact lie.

He is not from North Central and those from the zone

The guy is lying

There's no point in history that Ogori Magogo trace their origin to Benin

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

Ogori is not an hybrid of ebira and Yoruba,OGORI doesn't have any Yoruba association, as an indigene I can tell you this,no ogori person can naturally speak Yoruba unless they learn it,the older generation were taught Yoruba in schools.

Ogori doesn't historically worship Yoruba gods,they have very minimal Yoruba culture, but plenty Benin related culture.

Yoruba naming convention started after ogori fled to ijebu owo during the Nupe wars and also during colonial times.

Ogori historically married many ebira women,this explains the ebira influence in ogori otherwise ogori has no relationship with ebira.

No family in ogori can trace it's origin in any part of Yoruba land,not even their Yoruba neighbours in okun or Akoko.

The ENI clan particularly recalls it's time in Benin.

There are ogoloko swords in ogori thought to emerge from Benin

Ogori crown is of Benin mould,it has been confirmed as recently as 1979.

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.
The guy is a clown

Every article point to the origin of Ogori's Yoruba origin but the Ebira later immigration from Kararafa had significant influence on the land scape of Kogi in general.

You the one lieing,
The older generation were taught Yoruba through the Anglican mission which established Christianity and education in ogori,their mode of communication for church activities was Yoruba.

This is factual

Till today,the Anglican Church in ogori conducts it's service in Yoruba.

They were they agents of yorubanization in ogori and magongo

I never knew Yoruba is the official language of the Anglican church grin

Meanwhile, Anglican church had mission across the middlebelt region of Nigeria, so how come it was only Ogori people that were forced to learn and speak fluent Yoruba?

Why not Ebira, Igala, Idoma etc.

Is Yoruba the language spoken in heaven grin

Yoruba language was used by the Anglican Church in the Akoko-edo zone,ogori and ebira.

Both my folks are from ogori,they too acknowledge learning Yoruba from schools ,go to ogori today,no one born n bred there can speak Yoruba except they learn it,ask any ogori older gen person they'll tell you,no one speaks Yoruba naturally in ogori.

It's not even a second language, but online it's stated that it's a second language in ogori,this is a misconception of outsiders about ogori

Who discredited it?

Lair

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.

It's a lie,majority of ogori that speak Yoruba are the older generation, from the 80s Yoruba stopped being thought in schools younger generation do not speak except they lived in yorubaland.

It is discredited by indigenes in traditional discussions, however they are some articles on it,you can search online for it.

You also forget that ogori was previously under kabba province right

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.

Emergence from IFE doesn't even signify Yoruba origins,IFE was a mixture of people's ,however the IFE origins ot benin tale is discredited,probably only the royal house

Many followed Oranmiyan to Benin and married the indigenes to create Yoruba indigenous group. In addition, there was long wars that eventually dethroned the Ogiso and established the royal house.

However, emergence from Ife at that time of migration which was just 500 years ago significantly signifies Yoruba origin because that area large and by were conquered and assimilated by Oduduwa.

You people are talking about articles, am talking as a confirmed indigene from both parents and having read authentic books,written by even a former king,he never acknowledged Yoruba,only association with Yoruba he mentioned in that book was that ogori might have some indirect connection with Yoruba,the key word is indirect.

Which family did the so called akinbiyi come from in IFE?, which was his clan in IFE? etc.

The online articles are gotten from a historically discredited book by Gideon eyika.
It was written in 2003, so it was mostly widely available and people copied from it to post it online.

The authentic history written through painstaking research by a most reverred king in ogori was written in the 60s and is not available to most people.

You are just relying on online articles and basing all your arguments on copy and paste online articles

For Ogori though it doesn't have any history of following oramiyan though,infact the reason stated for OGORI leaving IFE was banishment due to failure to fulfil sacrifices or discontentment by a so called prince.

There's no story of this prince in ile-ife, there's no story of this so called banishment in ile-ife

The story is concocted

I never said so,ogori was previously placed under kabba province by the colonialist.

However,Yoruba was used to propagate Christianity in Akoko-edo,ogori zone as it was a neutral language, some sort of lingua franca like English due to the fact that the zone comprising of numerous small villages which spoke different Languages.

Ogori was the first village in the whole Akoko-ondo, Akoko-edo zone to establish a primary school,the Anglican agents and the church propagated Yoruba language in the school and church. infact ogori were the ones who then preached and propagated Christianity to all that zone using Yoruba language.
