KwaraRat:
The word "Yoruba" does not have any meaning in the language of the Olukumi People but traces it's origins from the mockery the Hausa/Fulani jihadist used in describing the once great race after they had sacked Oyo Ile (the capital of the old Oyo empire) and annexed Ilorin for the Sokoto Caliphate.

The word Yoruba is derived from the two words: Oyo and Oba and from the Hausa/Fulani dialect was pronounced "Oyoroba" and was a direct mockery of how they (Hausa Fulanis) captured Ilorin, killed Afonja and the Oba of old Oyo.

How the Olukumin peope will accept a known derogatory mockery as the name of their race baffles me.

Please stop this. The Olukumi people are Igbos of the Niger Delta. Stop cursing your fellow Igbos.

In fact, stop tribalism. The South needs to unite, not all this tribalistic nonsense.

Olukumi has their present homeland deep in Delta part of Igbo Land. Name any other place in Africa where it is spoken indigenously apart from Anaocha Local Government in the Igbo part of Delta State.

The other people that speak it are the descendants of the Olucumis that were taken to America during the Transatlantic Slave Trade.

Olucumi is an ancient Igbo Language.

Olukwumi is the language of the Igbo aborigines of Ile Ife Moremi Ajesoro contended with in the 10th century.

There is a book about the whole thing, including the origin of the name Olukwumi (Nya na o lukwu mu?)

ojukwu stop acting like u know history. The name Yoruba was given by the Songhai scholar Ahmed baba in his book and was only popularized by Hausa to refer to people of oyo. Hausa did not sack Oyo Ile the nupe did and no oba of oyo was killed. I don’t know where ipob get their history facts maybe there is an alternative facts privy only to ipob that the rest of the world doesn’t know about.

This is just wrong .
There is no evidence that an person GAVE the name . That any person RECORDED the name allegedly is not the same as giving the name.
The name Yoruba was generally applied to Oyo people and or close Northern Yoruba groups it did not Apply to Egba,Ijebu Ekiti etc.
The evidence for this is in the Oriki of these groups and this is why we advocate teaching Yoruba to young people. A lot of these orikis are on YouTube study them.
Whether the word Yoruba was applied to Oyo people by Ijebus,Ekitis Egbas or even Edo is debatable and would probably never be unravelled but the Oyo people exclusively used to be known as Yoruba and I have met in my lifetime old people (now deceased) refer to Abaja as Ila Yoruba(Oyo tribal marks)
It is only after colonizatiion and Nigeria that everyone came to be known as Yoruba.In Benin for long they were know as Nago or Anago.
It is Nigeria that forced this Yoruba identity on everyone but historically it was the Oyos and arguably this name was applied to them by any one of their neighbours whether from the Oduduwa group or not no one knows

that’s what I meant it was recorded by the Songhai scholar Ahmed baba and it’s typically associated with him as the giver of the name but i also doubt he gave it too coz my gf is from porto novo Benin and she told me that her own clan are know as just Yoruba nothing more like egba or ijebu just Yoruba so u could be very right but wat am certain is it’s not given by Hausa or Fulani and not every Yoruba is known as Nago too there are also more clan. Listen to zeynab song a Yoruba singer from Benin republic she refers collectively as omo Yoruba so it’s wrong to also say Nigeria forced it on us to a certain extent we accepted it coz we are one and the same people

The more common description in Benin used to be Nago or Anago or Ana probably it has changed with the influence of Nigeria.

These terms were used to describe now Yoruba peoples by the Spanish and Portuguese in their earlier records centuries ago

It is important to emphasize the difference between language and identity

Austrians ,Swiss,Italy Lichtenstein and Luxembourg is home to Deutsch speakers but they do not identify as German just as not all speakers of Arabic are not Arabs

Generally the Yoruba language was known as Anago
