Why Do Nairalanders Refers To The Akoko-edos As Yoruba? by GuidoVanRossum: 7:21pm On Nov 30, 2017 |
It amazes me that almost everyone on here refers to my people as being Yorubas. Is it because of the name "Akoko?". Please, note that the major languages in Akoko Edo are: Okpameri Uneme Etuno Ososo And a very very tiny % of Yorubas. Akoko-Edo isn't a Yoruba land. Yes, we have Yoruba influence and it shows in our names and all that. But we very different both culturally and in terms of language. I therefore implore you all to stop calling my people Yorubas. PS: This does not mean we hate the Yoruba people as they are our brothers in the same geographical contraption called Nigeria. Mind44, Lalasticlala, please help us educate others. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

..but what do you expect when you bear Yoruba names. Names are the hallmark of all cultures. If you truly want to strike an identity for yourself , then drop those names and take up your local ones. 6 Likes 1 Share |

pcgist: Thanks my brother. In akoko edo, our culture, way of life, and traditions differ greatly from the Yorubas. But people just refer to us as Yorubas anyhow here. Any little arguments that has to do with the edos, you hear people ignorantly refer to us as Yorubas. Afe-home, ame-water and other common typical edo language shows we are far more edos than Yorubas. 5 Likes 1 Share |

verydark: Yes. I understand that, that's why I'm trying to correct that wrong categorization. Below is a celebration of carnival in one of the towns in Akoko-Edo. You can deduce that our language and culture differ greatly from Yorubas. 3 Likes

The Etunos (Igarra) are more closely related to the Ebiras than the Yorubas. The Ososos and Okpameris are more closely related to the rest of the Afemai who are more closely related with the Binis culturally than the Yorubas. |
