The 3 Main (Nigerian) Tribes Of Judah by GodSon34(op):
The ancient kingdom of Judah / Widdah / Ile Ife Owodaiye (Ife Oodaye) in Nigeria consisted of three main tribes namely:

1. The Ijebu aka Jebu aka Jebusites
2. The Egba (main city used to be called Ba)
3. The Ketu

Please note that other sub-tribes also formed part of Judah .e.g. the Egbadoes (south of egba)

These tribes were later incorporated into what we know today as Yoruba and occupy Lagos and Ogun states. They are not Yoruba. Slaves were referred to as a Nago-Jebu., Nago-Ba (Egba), etc

N.B. There is a chance that other tribes migrated from Judah. For example there is a link between some Igbo and Ijebu people.

Dude! What is wrong with you? Even the Ewes in Ajudah ( land of the Judahites) in Benin will tell you they are Yorubas who migrated from Old-Oyo empire. An Anlo first prince named Mawuli Mawuvi who is from the Levite tribe of Benin said an Aja ( judahite) was once king in Oyo. Stop this crap please.

The Ewe people from Benin , Togo and Ghana have migration history from Ile -Ife and Old Oyo empire and will tell you Yorubas are their relatives. These are people who hold a far superior evidence than anyone in west Africa as Hebrews . The Germans who colonized them have these evidences in their museum and even claim old Oyo was Judah and a re relatives of the Ewes.

I’m sure you’re an Egba man trying to patronize yourself . Smh
