I said it is the reason for the common belief. I didn't say it is my belief. I am from an Igbo family that descended from an Edo settler in Igbo land. I think we are all inter-related because of inter-tribal marriages, migration and captured slaves who integrated into their new communities. To me, race and tribe are loosely defined.

I didn't say it was a lie. It is a claim. We don't have a lot of written history in Africa so we often rely on storytelling which gets distorted over time. Please avoid the term "you guys/people" as we are all the same. RemiOAjayi: |

Kfed4ril:Propaganda won't help you. Edo by right belongs to Edo and to a larger family of yorubas. Edo to igbo is that not madness?? Edo is for edo. Igbos aren't found in Edo state. 1 Like |

Ctorch:So it takes a mod to say something for that thing to be true. The said mod once erroneously claimed in another thread that no part of Edo State is a hilly terrain and hence exposed his ignorance about the state he so speaks of with authority. Unfortunately you have not given any specific citation or instance of the similarities you allege between Edo and Yorubas, yet you claim eyes can see them. I have rather pointed specific examples of similarities between Yorubas and you Igbos. In all his Yoruba irredentism Awolowo the most knowledgeable Yoruba man to ever walk on earth surface, never targeted anywhere in the present Edo State because his personal reserch visits made it clear to him that there is really no cultural or linguistic affinity between Edo and Yorubas. The only place he targeted is the Itsekiri enclave whom he helped install/impose their Olu as the Paramount ruler of Warri hence the intractible Warri crisis. But it continues to beat common sense why you Igbos focus on Edo in your search for Yorubaness but abandon Delta with the obviously Yoruboid Itsekiris and Olukunmis. How doesn't this prove clearly that it is all aimed at political blackmail? The bearing of Yoruba names in Edo doesn't make them Yorubas any more than their bearing of Nupe names like Damisa, Daniyan, Attah, Dirisu, Daudu, Mayaki, etc. make them Nupes. All these are just due to cross-cultural interferences through trade or war and conquests. Yorubas too do bear such Nupe names, and it doesn't make them Nupes. Igbos never really had interactions with many other tribes prior to colonization hence the less frequency of adoption of names of other tribes. 1 Like |

AgentGoat:Does the similarity of the languages automatically translate to being the same? The mere fact that we are even talking of their similarity makes it clear that they are not the same. If they were one and the same language, then no one would be talking of similarity in the first instance. Please recall that you can't be saying Hausa is similar to Hausa or Igbo similar to Igbo. But we can say "Igbo is similar to Yoruba" meaning they are different languages in the first instance to warrant a search for similarity. Above all, similarity is a relative term whose validity is difficult to measure. 1 Like |

Owe, Okun, Bunu and Yagba are listed as separate ethnicity then the poster went ahead and included Kogi state as one of Yoruba speaking states. Which Yoruba speaking people come remain for Kogi aside these four? These mentioned groups do not qualify to be called English separate ethnicity because within the Okun Yoruba subgroup, we have Owe. The Bunu people speaks Owe. Okun is not even a language per se, it's just a way of greeting. These four listed here have no business being on the list. They're all Yorubas. 1 Like |

Ctorch:There is nothing like a larger family of Yorubas to which Edo belongs. According to Bishop Ajayi Crowther who was himself a Yoruba and an authority on Yoruba Anthropology, the Yoruba appelation is a very recent invention aimed at unifying previously unrelated ethnic groups occupying the Southwestern parts of the territory now called Nigeria. Prior to the advent of that appelation the Edos had been known as a distinct and cohesive people. So how does Edo which existed before Yorubas suddenly fall under the so called Yoruba family? |
