Igbo has 5, they're a minority in Delta. You can't tell me about a place I know.

I know you can't trace your lineage and I can understand your angst and frustration.

But let me begin your radical therapy

DeLaRue:
Yorubas are not Olukunmi because 'that's what they call them in Delta'.

As a word, Olukunmi has been part of the Yoruba lexicon from time immemorial.

It means My Friend.

In places like Owo, and I think may be Okitipupa, in Ondo State and a few other places, till today, you refer to your friend as Olukunmi. People from these places don't instinctively use 'ore' as those from Oyo, Lagos, Ekiti etc do.

It is no coincidence that the Itshekiri and the Olukumi's migration from Yoruba land originated from or passed through Owo.

Oluku means friend in Ijebu dialect. Olukumi means my friend in Yoruba but that word is common among Ijebu, Owo, Ondo and Okitipupa dialects.

2cribz:
Kudos to my tribe itsekiri. Sadly I grew up at benin

E no matter bro. There's nothing to be sad about here.

There's a street in Ifo LG, Ajuwon precisely, street is named Itsekiri Street because of the concentration of the Itsekiri people therein.

I'm from Ajara Vetho, Badagry and I've stayed up north for a big part of my life. Aside from the Fon drivers that I've come across over here I haven't met up to 5 Badagrian up north.

ProudlyLagos:
like I said, direct your grievance to the ikwerres, they will be in a better position to explain that to you, but we know they don’t want to be identified as ibo and they have the right to their choice.

You guys over there seems to know better than them, so that's why am asking, if you can't answer my question, you can skip

Olukumi
Lukumi Yoruba.
Is that not Reno Omockery's family?

What is the meaning of OMOKRI in Itsekiri ? - no meaning

What is the meaning of OMOKRI in Urhobo ? SMALL GOAT

How can Reno be a member of a tribe (Itsekiri) when his father's name has no meaning in that tribe, but another tribe (Urhobo) ?

In conclusion, with all strict sense of logic, Reno is Urhobo, NOT Itsekiri

Embassy in Abeokuta use it but written and pronounced as -OLUKUMI- . But the correct spelling and pronunciation is 'OLUKUNMI'. Contextual breakdown : OLU - a lord or important pwexonality , KUN -

Gustavowhite:
The Olukumi shit can’t work,they are already acculturated by their Igbo neigbours and remember their land is not contigous to Yoruba land,except Yoruba will move them from their ancestral land and near to Yorubaland

What is this one saying?

Olukumi is pristine Yoruba from Ilé-Ifè the Source. Friends are called Oluku in Ife till today. Olukumi means my friend. So they migrated directly from Ife

It doesn't matter. Richard Mofe Damijo is an urhobo man but he bears Itsekiri'name

Gustavowhite:
ok
Lagos Island have Benin origins,No?

And what is the origin of Benin or Bini? I don't mean Edo or Igodomigodo oo, Bini pls

AreaFada2:
The Ogiame/Olu, the aristocracy and top chiefs are Benin people. A large population of Itsekiri are Eastern Yoruba, some Edo and neighbouring tribes.

Correct. But the Ọba and ruling house of Bini are Yorubas directly from Oranmiyan, a true son of Ogun, and step grandson of Odùduwà.

The Ijebus ruling house are also directly of Odùduwà blood but not all Ijebus

Tonitoniton:
Itshekiri are not Yoruba in any way. Itshekiris are bini and not Yoruba

Just as anioma or delta north are not ibo.

Most of the coastal dwellers in Yoruba land are either ijaws or binis that migrated along time ago.

Sharing cultural relics or what ever does not make them Yoruba.

The same olu shared some thing of that nature with Zulu in south Africa, does it now mean itshekiris are Zulus?

And pls tell us who Binis are?
Not Edos that Yoruba call Ados but Binis

temitope27:
Reno na itsekiri, from royal house

Abeg him papa na Urhobo, na him mama be Itsekiri pls.

Goodvibes007:
Reno is Itsekiri. He just calls Yorubas Olukumi as that's what they call them in the Delta area. In Benin Republic, they are called Anago.
In Togo, they are called Ife Ana.
In Sierra Leone/Gambia, they call them Aku people.

Highly amorphous.

Zionmdde:
Don't really like doing this but let me ask
Isinyemeze and atuwatse from delta are from yoruba groups
But ifeanyi from delta and amaechi from rivers are not from Igbo groups.

Hope you can help me explain better though

I said it in the thread that was talking about Amaechi denouncing his Igbo heritage that every Emeka,Uchenna,Infeayi,Ngozi,Adaeze in Delta state and Rivers state is an Igbo person.

Also,any Adeyemi, Balogun,Oluwakemi,Fumilayo,Tunde, Adebayo from Delta,Kwara and or Kogi is a Yoruba person.
If the person doesn't like it that way,she or he should first of all change and deny such name before denying his larger tribe.

You cannot bear such typical traditional names of people as I mentioned above and be arguing about your ethnicity.
To me,it does not always make any sense to me at all.
Name and language is an important symbol of ethnic identity.

Trash. Since you know you don't have any meaningful thing to write, just eat your food and sleep. You are exposing yourself here.

MightySparrow:
Awon ọmọ Oodua mọ ara wọn.

This fellowship should be extended to Obi of Onitsha.

Truly Oodua.

One black race with respect, achievement, spread.

To where?
Obi of Onitsha?

zero8zero:
Delta North is not only Igbo. There are several tribes in Delta North.

I believe you understand what I am trying to say

Christistruth00:
No

Unless you want to claim that Benin itself has Ile Ife Origins but
the father of the Awori Ogunfunminire
Who gave Lagos Island to his son Aromire was an Ife Prince

Benin itself was founded by an Obatala dynasty Ife Prince called Obagodo

stop this nonsense, I hate seeing this, how can ife give Benin a dynasty at a time when ife didn't have a dynasty, how can you give Benin monarchy when you didn't even have a leader let alone a monarchy, don't you find it interesting that till this day, the ooni title is being rotated as there is no direct bloodline, can you compare that to the oba of Benin title.

Love800:
Benin is still yoruba too.

Back to your question, itsekiri carved out from yoruba. They are a minor yoruba group.

Urhobo, edo, itsekiri and yoruba all have the same pedigree or ancestry!

not true stop lying pls, Benin isn't yoruba

In Sierra Leone/Gambia, they call them Aku people.

Please go and do your fact check.
Reno is an Urhobo man.
His mother is from Itsekiri.
His father is a retired Chief Judge.
He followed his mother side.
His Late Father resting place is still there.

In Ghana they're called Ga ,you can modify your post .

yeah, Delta north senatorial district duly represented by Ned Nwoko

I see. Now I see why the senator is pushing for the creation of Anioma state. I remember once watching him on Channels Politics Today, saying his senatorial district has 9 LGA.
