[quote author=laudate post=80479413][/quote]I’ll cure you of your heboid foolishness if you let me.

[quote author=laudate post=80478766][/quote]Get off Nairaland and get to church. Your lost soul could do with a bit of deliverance.

[quote author=laudate post=80478622][/quote]Those captions you keep sending me don’t prove that individual Okun people might not see themselves as Yoruba.

[quote author=laudate post=80478232][/quote]I know what I’ve heard through the interactions I’ve had with certain Okun people and that’s the extent of my experience on the matter. Doesn’t mean I’m fabricating just because the experience I had was less common than you’ve heretofore pictured it to be.

laudate:
They don't. Anyway, you are good at spreading fake tales when it comes to people's identity, so why am I not surprised??

So out of however many Okun people exist there’s not one who denies their Yoruba heritage? Not a single one? That right?

laudate:
You are still arguing here like a dumbbell even after Okun people have come out to clarify that they are clearly Yoruba? Your silliness is getting worse by the day. Saying that an Okun man is not Yoruba, is like saying an Ngwa man is not Igbo.

Not saying they’re not but some deny it.

laudate:
Oga, is the faceless NL person who you are quoting the final authority on the identity of the Akoko people in Ondo State? Stop arguing about what you do not know, biko.

Akoko people in Ondo state are Yoruba. Please can these Yoruba people enter here to tell this chap the truth?
_{ODVanguard, 7lives, IamPatriotic ,
9jakool, abdulwastecxx}

And some deny their Yorubaness. Fact. End.

laudate:
Hmmn...you are always inventing fake stories when it comes to the identity of other people. No be you, again? Where did you meet the Okun people that denied being Yoruba? From which towns in Okun land?

I hope you realise that people like Dino Melaye, the late Sunday Awoniyi etc, are Okun people. They have never denied being Yoruba, o! So take it easy with your lies, biko.....

Just like there’s plenty of confused Enuani Igbos who deny it there’s plenty of Okun Yorubas who choose to self-identify as Okun first and foremost. Take it easy with yourself. You don’t need to have a heart attack over that fact.

laudate:
Guy, you sabi lie, o! I have never met an Okun or Kabba person, saying he is not Yoruba. Where did you meet the ones you are talking about? Inside your dreams? Or the cartoon series you deceitfully crafted in your mind?

As for the Egun, you have to go and read their history to know their origins and where they belong. Anyway, let me eat my popcorn in peace. I will allow those Yoruba people to come and give you a good reply. B

I’ve come across plenty of Okun people who deny being Yoruba to be fair. But I know what you’re saying.

Only time I’ll ever half-agree with you. Igbo identity no be by force to divergent groups.

IkpuMmadu:
Please differentiate between igbo (noun) and igboid (verb)

Oya...talk

....you guys can be funny some times

Same as what differentiates asusu Yoruba from asusu Igala. Cousin languages yet distinct enough and not mutually intelligible enough to be regarded separately.

You tell me how much of Ekpeye language you really understand truthfully.

IkpuMmadu:
it's igboid dialect

This is the king of ekpeye

Eze Logbo II

Is Eze (Igbo word for king ) and that is what they call their king Eze ...or would you say Eze isn't igbo again..,

Clowns everywhere....now read about ekpeye and their villages and tell me if they sound Greek ....





All the time, the Ekpeye lived in towns settled by members of one, some or all the Seven original distinct families of Ekpeye – Imaji, Uchi, Agolo, Uzhi, Ishikoloko, Edyiwulu and Akpa. They practiced full representative democracy. But the challenges of the politics of colonial government forced in changes. First it was a pseudo kingdom established by one Nworisa Odu of Ogbele town who initially successfully challenged British entry into Ekpeye land via the River Sombreiro. He was pacified with recognition as the Eze of Ekpeye. He was later lured away to Degema, a colonial administrative center,where he died later in about 1890. Eze Ashirim, who became the first Eze Ekpeye Logbo, brought peace, publicity and pomp to the Ekpeye monarchy and with it came recognition by the Nigerian government and additional political influence in the region. Today (2006) the revered monarchy, is occupied by a retired Nigerian Air Force officer, His Royal Highness Eze Robinson O. Robinson, The Eze Ekpeye Logbo II of Ekpeye land. Although many monarchs in the region are usually hereditary, The Ekpeye monarch is one of a few which relies upon a democratic process in the selection of a new King. Every Ekpeye son or daughter can vie for the throne when it becomes vacant.



Get small sense naaa

-

Igboid, not Igbo. If it were Ogba or Izzi I’d agree with you but Ekpeye people are in a world of their own. It’s not by force to claim people who don’t want to be claimed.

IkpuMmadu:
You are not in position to tell you how he feels


This is what he approved ....Yoruba always claiming ...well he can use your language to make money of you

He is pure igbo from Ahoada in Rivers just after Ohaji

Burna Boy, born Damini Ogulu, arrived into the world on July 2, 1991, in Ahoada. He was born to Nigerian parents Mr. and Mrs. Ogulu, who raised him in Ahoada and later moved to Lagos State, where the performer completed his basic education. According to records, Burna Boy attended Montessori International School, from where he moved to Corona, Agbara, Lagos, for his secondary school education.

Ekpeye isn’t Igbo.

RedboneSmith:
LMAO.

There's Egbeda in Ikwerre land too. Add am for your list.

Anioma spokesman. Any idea what region answers the surname Ebenuwa?

bigfrancis21:
It's possible. We are spiritual beings in physical bodies having a physical experience. Physical life starts at birth but the soul itself predates physical birth.

Do you remember being fed abacha and party jollof rice with oka from your mum’s womb?

I was just listing a random pair of features. The two don’t go hand-in-hand and I didn’t even imply that.

2mch:
So light skin makes people better looking? FOH with your small brain

Did I actually say that?

UltraSphinx:
this is a result of prolonged physical and social interaction with other ethnicities as they are located on the extreme ends of Yoruba land.

their way of life definitely reflects that. same can be said of kwara yorubas bordering Niger state (Nupes), Kogi Yorubas (in a peculiar potpourri of another level), badagry in Lagos etc
but these factors doesn't nullify their identity in anyway

It’s only those with a third eye that’ll understand the significance of those differences.

UltraSphinx:
really?
so Edo state is part of ibo land too?

Didn’t say that but it’s common knowledge that Ondo and Ekiti people are a very different breed of Yoruba than mainstream Yorubas. Several of their cultural and cuisine features point eastwards to say the least. At least compared to the more westerly Yoruba clans.

Officialgarri:
Father to a fàg. How disgraceful

Very soon, your secret will be in the open

That’s how plenty of young kids dress these days. Leave your conc. African mentality for strictly African matters.

Ondo and Ekiti people aren’t far removed from Igbos at all. It’s no wonder Ondo people are lighter-skinned and better-looking than mainline Yorubas. Not to mention a few other shared traits across them and us.

bigfrancis21:
My earliest predates this lifetime actually, reasons why I was born, planning for this life etc. Somehow the memories never left me (partial veil of forgetfulness) and have guided me up until this point. I pretty much know how my current life would pan out till the end and my life up until now has panned out exactly the way I was shown.

My earliest in this particular lifetime would be during my 1 year old birthday. I remember standing in front of my cake and seeing so many people in front of me which scared me so much that I started crying and ran away from the cake stand as fast as my legs could carry me. This was happening outside (in Port Harcourt) in front of the flat where we lived then and it was around evening getting dark. I ran behind the building then my father walked up to me where I was, smiling he opened up his arms and beckoned on me to come unto him, which I did. It was very calming and he carried me back to my stand.

Our Francis was a baby boy.

RedboneSmith:
I'm not saying the accent is fake, but for someone that grew up in Manchester, the accent sound more American-ish to me than something from the UK. Just saying.

Many confused Afro-Brits mimic more influential black cultures (aka Afro-American).

Lol...probz...I was only playing nau...one kant play peacefully again

It's not about that, I just thought it's something that would interest someone of your insight and third-eye knowledge. I just quoted the wrong post.

Ishi, how much is your bride price? Hope it is affordable?

Those books are for you to read in your own time. They'll broaden your understanding of human nature and help see personality beyond rigid 1950s gender boxes/wrongly attributing one personality type to one gender vs. the other.

mubeela:
I dnt blv it cuz Rivers is a Christian state.

Are other states in Nigeria not Christian?

hisgrace090:
Why start a journey you cannot complete?

That’s nice.

Likes are well and good but who wants to actually comment?

Thought it would be interesting to strike off a topic on this considering the matrilineal nature of their clans. What's the status and role of women in that side of ala Igbo?

Anyone over the age of reason who chews any swallow other than agidi should be castrated. Especially an onye Igbo.

RedboneSmith:
First African country?

Didn't South Africa decriminalise homosexual relations ages and ages ago.

Countries dominated by Caucasoids aren’t seen as truly African countries though are they.

Send them through.
