The same people that will tell u the igbo speaking area in Niger delta are not igbos but migrants from Benin republic will be quick to accept the okun people as yurobas, let us continue to deceive ourselves in this country when we are ready we all will know, the okun people have never complained about their relationship with the northern region just like the igbo speaking south south until now they are feeling insecure with their adopted brothers, when we are ready as people we will know.

The is a request made by the Okun Descendants Association (ODA).

They never mentioned Igbo and I don't know how you manage to bring in Igbo into the discussion.

samsard:
Hausa is sparsely spoken in Benue and mostly by people of Hausa or core north origin.

Hausa is also 'sparesely' spoken in Ebonyi State especially among people of Hausa or core North origin.

Bkayyy:
Lies, Kwara is not all about Nupe and Yoruba. The biggest ethnic group in the state by population is Fulani followed by Yoruba then Nupe. But when it comes to land mass it is Nupe followed by others.
Below is the local Government dominated by yoruba. I even included ifelodun that is shared with Nupe oh.
You can count it yourself

This guy.do you realize that most governors from kwara are yorubas just like most of their elected representatives? Oga show us areas dominated by fulanis

Haywhysat:
Hausa is common in Kwara? Lol, seems you haven't been to Kwara before

The ilorin emirate is fulanis, the title is emir, its been fulanis

Bkayyy:
You mean this kwara below is a Yoruba state? The local government circled are yoruba, remember that yoruba share ifelodun with Nupe.
Forget the number of local governments yoruba have in Kwara, number doesn't equal land mass

Do you realize that those Yoruba lgas are more puoulous than the uncircled ones and that you will meet 4 yorubas from kwara before one non Yoruba? Why the intentional mischief

Mraphel:
Is lokoja part of Okun?

Part of Lokoja is Okun. From Felele downwards.

seunmsg:
What do they stand to gain from a mere academic exercise and why would they indulge in that? If they are comfortable, they wouldn’t be writing letter.

If I may ask, what’s your own in this matter? The people have made their collective intention known and you’re here talking nonsense.

That guy is meleszenawi, he loves taunting yorubas

You have to drag Ebonyi here. Yoruba man and their love for one nigeria.

Others are fighting to leave, these ones are fighting to join SW and continue the parasitism movement.

Well, the letter is just an academic exercise.

azmanaty02:
Fulanis owns them by virtue of conquest.

U can't do nada about it. Arrewa, come and explain to him

you ehn.......

GarangDeMabior:
These places you named have been known as north for a long time.

They have a common language binding them which is Hausa.

Hausa biding them in Benue State?
Seek your truth and unlearn what you have been fed as truth.

I think they have a valid point by wishing to join their fellow kinsmen. This scammed boundary formular by the North to acquired more land mass and be claiming majority is fraudulent.

GarangDeMabior:
These places you named have been known as north for a long time.

Please educate your self. I hate safe induced ignorance. Kogi and Benue do neither have a binding language or share any culture or values with core Northerner.

All of you are not smart a bit by insulting this people(Okun) or their tribe.

Do you all ever uses your senses to ask if Nigeria is to break what is the fate of people like Okun and others who are geographically mapped in a wrong region? Will the North release them back if the country break up? Hell No so the first smart step is for them to first fight their reunuion out of their wrong location then if break up happen they are safe.

Think! Think!! Think!!! Gragra, abusive, chest beaten always ends in failure and dissappointment.

Wisdom is golden!!!

myobjective:
I'm from Ondo state and I bear Abdulahi, my siblings bears Ismaila, Suleiman etc. Man you sound daft, religion has nothing to do with ethnicity, and for your information, the Ilorin always bears a Yoruba middle name or surname that makes them a unique Yoruba.

Why Abdullai and not Oladejo, are you a slave to the Arabs that you're not proud of your indigenous name?

Mrbillionaire:
Why Abdullai and not Oladejo, are you a slave to the Arabs that you're not proud of your indigenous name?

Why Micheal and not shibuzor? Are u a slave to the same tribe that enslaved your ancestors for years? U see, it has nothing to do with Religion

[quote author=Bkayyy post=93873303]LOL, the Oba that answers to the Emir of Tsaragi. You make me laugh.
Do you know how many people that claim Oba in share?
Where did you make up that 12 out 16 Local Govt from anyways?
The map below shows yoruba in Kwara, and Yoruba shares ifelodun with Nupe and significant amount of ilorin east and west with fulani

(For your mind you are making sense, So your own Moro and Asa is not Yoruba area, for you to marked it out. Which Nupe are you chestbeating all about, are they not the tribe that are out of scheme of things in the state and almost all of them can speak Yoruba. Don't let me go to Fulani side sef. Guy join comedy group, you are mere entertainer in exercise , though you may be referring to another Kwara in Enugu.)

Fulani invaded and conquered those Yoruba areas long time a ago and Yorubas never did anything about it. You know, slaves can't do sh*it to their master.

PVision2020:
That will be a good development.
Femi Gbajabiamila should use his good office to Fast track this amendment.
Okuns are yorubas, as such should/must be counted with their kith and kin (South West)

Ye ye yen. I rememberd how Yoruba people in ny school always tell the okun students they aren't Yoruba.
Yoruba people are too tribalistic to wants Okun people. I know how my okun friends always say they are Okun and not Yoruba because the Yoruba people especially the tribalistic people of osun and oyo dk not want them. Only Ondo and Ekiti can relate with the Yorubaness of Okun

Think9ja:
Too much disunity in this country.
I honestly also don't like the part of country where I come from.

It's in a very good location, but religion sentiments have stalled it's progress.

Where in d north

computer0810:
no, igala and igbira are also not part of okun

Who is this one? Which Igala

ayenale1:
Same goes to countries in North Africa, if not for the meditteranian sea Egypt, Morroco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya etc would have joined their Arab brothers.

North Africans are not Arabs. Don't argue with me please, use your Internet. In fact check Google and see how thise who traced their origin through DNA were shocked to see they don't have a single Arab blood in them.

Seunelvis:
That is why I thank God for my decision to leave Lagos and all the south to study in Nasarawa state, now telling my FAM that always calling me mallam that I didn't study in hausaland that Nasarawa, Benue, Plateau, Taraba, abj, Kogi all even south of Kaduna are not Hausa/Fulani is still baffling them. prior to the jihad there was no emir in all those places mentioned above, even abj till now Dont have emirs, they are trying to force in abj but gbagyi ppl no gree, fact Hausa are not more than five States in the north, and are not muslims before the Jihad they have their traditional religion,what happened was that after the jihad was that most Hausa ppl that fled the war came down to the middle belt. Me telling me ppl down here after graduation that those places above are not Hausa and most of them are Christians and there are more ethnic group in the north still baffles them. if someone check well self they have more Christian population than us that's y Fulani ppl are trying to push then to the wall, like Plateau now as never had a Muslim governor never and I'm not sure they will ever have cause those ppl hate Hausa/Fulani jos crisis will give you the record, Hausa are minorities in Nasarawa with Eggon and Alago and madam being the main ppl eggon is the dominant ethnic group, Benue are Mainly Tiv and Idoma, with other tribes like uju, novemir who born you where there is ochidoma, and Tor'Tiv strong kings. in fact even the north east is not Hausa, they have there own dynasty, it was Jihad if not for British that stopped that war they would have taken over Nigeria, hmm those ppl that came in tru caravan slave( Trans shahara trade). so it was after the Jihad that started in Gobir forcing out the Last Hausa king Tunfa that Uthman Dan fodio put his brother as the head of Sokoto calaphate while he was in other that have forgotten the name. so no reason am if the minorities in north rise up Hausa/Fulani themselves are minorities in the North. But everybody adopted the language for common understanding, if Eggon, Mada, Alago, Tiv of Benue and Taraba, remember Tiv is forgottenthe Fourth largest ethnic group in Nigeria, Idoma, Nupe in Niger state (even Niger state don't have emir, they have their king have forgotten his name, if all these group decided to speak their language nobody will understand anyone hence the adoption of a popular one which Hausa.

This is so painful to read. Learn how to write.

Come, let's bath together

Cloud007:
brother... hausa is never spoken in Kwara. Get your fact right. Even the core ilorin people that lost the throne to Fulani speaks yoruba. Have you seen any emir from ilorin that does not have Yoruba name? The Arabic names are only for politics. If push comes to shove...they will screams southwest.

He didnt say that. Did you read his post well? Go back to his post and see what he typed. That's why foreign countries requires IELTS.

ModestGal:
Lol, Ondo people will not follow them, I can bet my life, they are very stubborn people

There are okun villages in Ondo state. They share boundary with Kogi.
