Ittsekiri and yorubas are brothers from the same father

Nobody invited Reno small goat to come and wear asoke agbada, and he couldn't gate crash the event too. 😅😃

That's nice, she is truely Nigerian

I know a lot of people will be surprised hearing her speaking her dialect fluently.
We are Nigeria.

The lingua is Yoruba. Let me read about those people. Where is my chatgpt?

Being able to speak your dialect is a big flex. The connection to your people is seamless. I need to go learn both Ekiti and Ijesha dialects.

What is a slave betrayal seller doing with a phone, his ancestors started slavery

I am Yoruba from Ekiti, but I could hear and understand almost everything that Her Excellency said.

Itshekiris are truly one of our distant cousins.

Politics is local..

Make whatever you want to from that simple statement above !

If you like blow English pass Oxford dictionary, your husband can never ever win a FREE and FAIR election. If na lie give us real time transmission of our votes.
I wish say na as you dey blow am, na so your husband dey fix 9ja like he promised. No forget, your husband say make we no vote am for 2nd time, if him no fit give us electricity. Till now, we never see ELECT, not to talk of CITY, and him claim to be City boy.

We don hear. But why the thing con dey pepper you?

She didn’t quite sound fluent, though, it felt like she was mentally counting words like a student trying to stretch a five-minute presentation into ten. Even without understanding Itsekiri, you could tell it wasn’t flowing naturally. The tonal twists were so Yoruba-adjacent that if you weren’t paying attention, you might assume she was speaking Yoruba.

Still, what stood out was her composure, calm, educated, and refreshingly unbothered. The kind of grace that doesn’t scream, doesn’t rage, and certainly doesn’t join online stampedes with digital cutlasses. This is the type you can't find among the headless mobs in 10 millennia from today.

Blessings to Oluremi Tinubu, proof that calm elegance still exists in a world that often prefers noise over nuance.

Where is originally from even

See how They are campaigning vigorously, tomorrow those gang that can't even put their party in order will be busy shouting rigging

Really? The same slave trade that has been a practise since Bible times. I guess his ancestors were the brothers of Joseph who sold him to the Egyptians.

Itsekiri is just like yoruba.

lanodam:
Impressive. It’s good to be multi lingual.

She's itsekiri, she's from Delta state.

So we should clap and start dancing?

This is another way of saying you’ve given up on 2027 elections. It is well o.

I swear, the language sounds very much like Yoruba and vice versa

Remi is partly a Delta woman her mama na Itsekiri and I'm happy the Olu of Warri acted in good manner, Remi na your pikin she is partly from that land don't act like my own people who Tinubu sons wife is partly from their side yet still harbouring so much hatred towards their own daughter simply she got married to Seyi.
