I can't speak Itshekiri but I could understand half of what she was saying. I'd say anyone from the Owo, Ondo, Ekiti axis should be able follow without issue.
The language sounds like the Owo, Akoko dialect

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.

If you have walked in her shoes, you will become dead to the flesh, nothing will move you. You will develop an absolute thick skin that even a two edged sword can't pierce.

You think it's a tea party to be married to a controversial and enigmatic character like tinubu?

Do you want to imagine what she has seen, heard, done, witnessed, eaten, suspected, tried, bathed with, coarsed to do, fought about, fought off and still grapple with for being married to the most powerful Yoruba man dead or alive?

In all, she has been very good at managing them all! Keeping most of her secret tears and fights secret and only coming out with the celebration.

Looking and listening to her, she looks sallow, spent, aged and tired but like a stallion, must trudge on because she's battle tested and not expected to crouch.

Obi's wife too isn't Igbo and atiku's first wife too isn't fulani nor hausa......it's no biggie on the surface but it's a big statement politically for the tinubu campaign.......huge inroads have been made into the SS by the incumbent and this is gargantuan mileage,obi's voters base he is depending on is being eaten into in large chunks.....edo,delta,Rivers,cross rivers,akwa ibom......bayelsa isn't a bother because of its voting size,add these to sizeable SW voting block......atiku has been totally locked out of this region.....obidients if una like make una noh accept.....it will be a very tall order for obi to best tinubu in the south......NC xtian votes in benue,plateau and nassarawa is also being taken from him,yoruba votes in kwara and kogi.....where is obi getting his votes from outside SE.......Abuja is gone,maybe NW or NE sha!!
Obi's wife is Igbo

She probably has not spoken it in a while. Initially you will struggle but it gets more fluent as you progress. I was born in a state outside mine and I caught the language of that region early, but did not get to speak it for more than 30 years as we moved in my early childhood. It took me about three months to get the flow again.

I think she tried.

First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu speaking the local dialect to her Itsekiri Compatriots

These people are fuxxcking Yoruba. The language is so close to several dialects in Ondo State such as ikale, okitipupa, owo and even ondo town.
It's easier for anyone from Ondo to understand this dialect than to understand most Ondo State dialects such as Akoko dialects. Itsekiri people are 100% Yoruba.

Re: Remi Tinubu Speaks Fluent Itsekiri As She Visits Warri by sweetkev(m): 11:09am On Feb 27
Her mother is from that part while her father is from Ijebu. She grew up in Ijebu at a time.
Re: Remi Tinubu Speaks Fluent Itsekiri As She Visits Warri by grandstar(m): 11:09am On Feb 27
Their language is similar to Yoruba.

I think Itshekiri is a mixture of both Ypruba abd Igala.
