Read what I wrote again Ewe , Ga, Egun of Ghana, Togo, Benin Republi all descended from Oduduwa and migrated from Yorubaland though they speak the Language of their Akan Gbe Neigbhours


By the Way the Yorubas also have bona fide Yorubas in Benin Republic and in Togo and some of the Tarbon of Ghana still speak Yoruba language

Well I won't argue with you again

Even if they have relationship with Yoruba they said they are not Yoruba and reject being Yoruba.

Nobody can force them to be what they don't want to be, you read what David posted on Twitter? So it is your problem if you still call them Yoruba, to me they are not Yoruba.

Soso75:
Sadly these wannabe “Yorubas” don’t know that the only true Yorubas are the Ibadan people. Every other Yoruba today was a Social construct set up by the British colonial master and their puppet Samuel Ajayi Crowther in an attempt to Christianize Western Nigeria. Same as Taiwanese are not Chinese, Ikweres are not Igbos ,Austrians are not Germans etc. That’s how Lagosian are not Yorubas, Ondo are not Yorubas, Ekiti are not Yorubas etc. Read people!!!

You are the one that need to read, stop peddling falsehood


Even Ibadan people originated from some where and they came from Ile - ife in Osun State.

If you are not Ignorant you would know that Ibadan people are also known as Oyo people.

The indigenous people of Osogbo in Osun State, Ede in Osun State, Ikirun, gbongan, Ogbomosho in Oyo state, Ila Orangun in Osun State, Ibadan in Oyo state etc. all belong to the same sub group of Yoruba known as Oyo people.

Tell me how Ibadan people are the only True Yoruba when they speak the same Yoruba dialect as people in Osogbo, Ede, Ila Orangun, Ogbomosho, Ggbangan, Ikirun, etc?

You see how stupid you sound.

I am an Ijesha man from Ilesa in Osun State and I can understand all Oyo people in Osogbo, Ogbomosho, Ede, Ibadan etc when they speak their dialect, same way they can also understand me if I speak in my dialect, linguistically there is almost no differences except for pronunciation and intonations of certain words in Yoruba, culturally we are also the same, we greet the same way, worship the same kind of gods, wear the same kind of clothes etc nobody need to tell you you are the same kind of people to know you are the same kind of people if you have brain.

You see that you are the stupid one that think he is wiser than 30 million people.

The Egun and Ewe and Ga of Ghana are the same descendants of Yoruba People that all left Nigeria around the same time but reach due to heavy War along the Dahomey Coast reached their destination Locations at different periods and in different groups and they all speak Akan Languages Which came from the ancient Ghana Empire but they all practice Paternal Lineage like their Yoruba Ancestors did

The Egun People migrated all the way to Ghana with the Ewe that left from Oyo and the Ga that left from Ile Ife only to reach Ghana and migrate back to Ouidah in Benin Repubic because that was were their Oracle sent them to when War broke out with the Akwamu tribe in Ghana

Yoruba is different from ewe and Ga people of Ghana

Stop saying what you don't know.

Etinosa1234:
we were never Yoruba in the first place

Yes you are not Yoruba

The Bini People that we can call Yoruba were the people that followed Oranmiyan to Benin to helped him with ruling over Benin but overtime they got heavily influenced by Benin people and became part of them so they are no longer Yoruba.

Christistruth00:
Look , the Yorubas of Benin Repubiic and Togo, the Egun Of Benin and Togo, the Ga and Ewe Tribes Of Benin, Togo and Ghana all migrated from Ile Ife and are descendants of Oduduwa

Ouidah ,Weme and Allada were all originally part of the Yoruba Popo Kingdom that reached Togo

The Fon Of Dahomey Conquered part of it and intermarried with the Popos to produce the Egun People and Language

Even the Fon People themselves had some Yoruba Ancestry but it was the Slave trade that truly put them on the Map

They were Truly a Slave raiding and Trading Nation they didn’t even bother with Agriculture till Slavery was abolished after french Colonisation so the Egun had to flee from them to save themselves from Slavery

When the Alaafin of Oyo reconquered the Kingdom both the Fon and Egun there became bilingual

speaking Yoruba too in addition to the Gun gbe Language

Yoruba don't have any kingdom that bear Popo or Popo kingdom

I don't know where you take your own history lessons from

Christistruth00:
You definitely didn’t read the article

High Chief Wauwatosa Of Badagry Kingdom said Egun migrated from Ile Ife

It is wrong they came from Benin Republic not ile ife.

What that chief said is totally different from what their Historian said and what they claimed themselves.

Christistruth00:
The Egun are the offspring of the Yoruba Popo that migrated from Ife and the Fon Of Dahomey

If the Egun were denying their Yoruba Ancestry they wouldn’t have settled among their Yoruba brethren in Yorubaland

Read this interview with an Egun high Chief
https://www.vanguardngr.com/2019/03/yoruba-in-badagry-are-from-ile-ife-not-ghana-high-chief-wawu/

They are linked to Benin Republic not even Ghana.

The fact is that many of them don't claim Yoruba and none of the history you said linked them to ile - ife or Yoruba.

At least you heard what David said, you can't force them to be what they don't want to be, they even demand their own state in Lagos.

You are entitled to your opinion but to me they are not Yoruba, many of them don't even claim it and they are not even listed among part of Yoruba.

Christistruth00:
The Egun are the offspring of the Yoruba Popo that migrated from Ife and the Fon Of Dahomey

If the Egun were denying their Yoruba Ancestry they wouldn’t have settled among their Yoruba brethren in Yorubaland

You lack knowledge about Yoruba history

There is no Yoruba sub-group that bear popo

And what you are saying is their History is totally different from what they claimed.

There are Ijaw people in Ondo state, it doesn't make them Yoruba just because they lives in South west.

Christistruth00:
Urhobo do not claim Edo but everyone knows they are siblings though their Language is different

Yoruba and Egun are exactly the same

They might have some relationship it still doesn't make them Edo or Bini

Same way Yoruba have relationship with Bini and we still don't call them part of us.

The Oyo Empire conquered Dahomey Kingdom and ruled it for many years, it doesn't make every people in Dahomey kingdom Yoruba, the people that claimed being Yoruba in Benin Republic today are people their ancestors migrated from ile-ife, Oyo Empire, Ijesha kingdom and other Yoruba people that migrated from South west region in Nigeria and settled in Benin Republic and Dahomey Kingdom in those days.

Dahomey kingdom still have its own indigenous people that are not connected culturally and linguistically with Yoruba in any way.

It is just like saying every Nigerian is a British because we were colonised by them.

The only thing that can make Egun Yoruba is the fact they have been living in Lagos Nigeria and Yoruba land for so long, which make them naturalised Yoruba, but you still can't call them full blooded Yoruba they would be egun - Yoruba. It is just like when Nigerian traveled to Britain, USA etc and became their citizens for living in there country for so long or getting born there but they would always be Nigerian - Americans or Nigerian - British.

Linguistically and culturally egun is different from Yoruba.

christistruth01:
Do you understand Ekiti?

The Egun are our People and descendants of Oduduwa through the Yoruba Popos

They are the offspring of Yoruba Popos and Fon of Dahomey marriages do you expect us to deny them ?


The Alaafin ruled over the Fon of Dahomey. For nearly a Century

I am an Ijesha man from Ilesa in Osun State and I understand Ekiti people when they speak their dialect.

Our ancestors understand each other very well in those days even with their different dialects, but English language is now changing every thing, many Yoruba can't even speak their dialect again and can hardly speak pure Yoruba without English but you want to understand those that can still speak their dialect very well when you can't even speak and understand yours.

Christistruth00:
They are our People and they were Bona fide Citizens Of Alaafin’s Oyo Empire


They have no Historical relationship with Igbos

These are the known sub groups of Yoruba and it even include Yoruba groups in Benin Republic and Togo that migrated from ile ife. There is no egun on the list.

They might have relationship with Oyo Empire doesn't mean they are Yoruba, at least your ancestors must had migrated from Ile - ife in Osun State to consider you Yoruba.

The Oyo Empire conquered Dahomey Kingdom and ruled it for many years, it doesn't make every people in Dahomey kingdom Yoruba, the people that claimed Yoruba in Benin Republic today were people their ancestors migrated from ile-ife, Oyo Empire, Ijesha and other Yoruba sub groups that migrated from South west region in Nigeria and settled in Benin Republic and Dahomey Kingdom in those days.

Dahomey kingdom still have its own indigenous people that are not connected culturally and linguistically with Yoruba in any way.

It is just like saying every Nigerian is a British because we were colonised by them.

They do not even claim Yoruba, at least you read what David Posted on Twitter.

And You lack knowledge about Yoruba, there is no Yoruba sub group that bear Popo

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Yoruba_subgroups

Damisic:
Until they realize that yoruba is not a tribe but a race made up of over 100 tribe with distinct culture and language is when they will have peace

The Yoruba sub groups in Nigeria are not up to 100

The sub tribes of Yoruba are not even up to 20 and they are connected culturally and linguistically.

All the founders and ancestors of these sub groups were people that migrated from Ile - ife in Osun State.

Stop peddling falsehood if you are ignorant, egun people are not even on the list and the list even included Yoruba people in Benin Republic and Togo

Benin People have historical relationships with Yoruba but you don't see us calling them Yoruba, same thing with egun. They might have some relationship with Yoruba it doesn't mean they are Yoruba.

They don't even claim it themselves

MrColdsweat:
Egun and aworis are the owners of lagos and they are not yorubas, infact, most Egun people I have met hate yorubas.

No, they did not migrate to badagry.
They own badagry.

Awori are Yoruba but egun are different they don't even claim Yoruba.

LegendHero:
Egun people are fully Yoruba. I am an Ibadan boy and I am just as Yoruba as an Egun boy. One people under olodumare.

David Hundeyin is a fool who hates everything close to him including his father.

I won’t be surprised if he wakes up tomorrow and say he is not a black man.

I think his only true friend are the Meth people because they are the only set of morons that take every garbage he spill in and out.

For the friendship to remain intact, he is willing to do anything to feed their single digit IQ brain with more jargons per minute.

Egun people are not Yoruba, they even reject it

Yes they might have some relationship with Yoruba but they are not Yoruba, they are like Benin people.

Two igala villages on the Anambra kogi border?....loool

A Full blooded Fulani Emir is ruling over yeroba people in Ilorin ....Shameless dingbat

Nzam, Igbedor, Inoma, Odekpe, Owelle, Ukwala, Onugwa, Ode, Ala and Igbokeyi.

All these are two Igala villages?

Typical Osu Alusi, you are obviously the shameless dingbat here.

Keep crying on behalf of Ilorin people while Igbo in Anambra are Igala slaves.

Obalatule:
Delusional dingbat

Please mention the igala lands

Meanwhile why is a Fulani Emir ruling Yoruba people in Ilorin?

E dey pain....chai! o ma se o

Check this thread on Nairaland

And you are obviously the one in severe pain



https://www.nairaland.com/2494402/igala-people-anambra-state

Obalatule:
where are the imaginary igala people?

Meanwhile I went to Ilorin and asked for Oba and they told me a Fulani Emir is king in yeroba land?!!! Chai!!

Go to Igala lands in Anambra and say it belongs to Igbo, come and give your testimony on Nairaland if you come back alive.

Obalatule:
You are clearly talking of Ibadan

It's a well known brown roof slum.....even yeroba people dey reject am

No I am talking of Anambra, Abia, Imo and Enugu. Go to Ibadan and see your brothers with their Wheel Barrows and meat pie push cart

Obalatule:
Yes I'm even an igala man myself

Fulani still won't give yeroba Ilorin back despite your wailings

You are the one wailing on behalf of Ilorin and you dare not confront igala people living on your land unless you want your generation to be massacre.

Obalatule:
[s][/s] No be only igala na igolo

Ilorin is now firmly under Sokoto Caliphate and will remain so till eternity

Cry me a thousand oceans

Go and take back your lands from Igala people living in Anambra, Igala slave

In fact I even heard Obiano Governor of Anambra is an Igala man. Try to chase away Igala people living on the lands they took from your forefathers they enslaved and see if they won't waste your generation.

JonCleary:
A lot of forward thinking Nigerians have emigrated to Ghana simply because the system works over there

Unfortunately an absentee president like Buhari just popped out of nowhere and spoilt everything for them...the truth is that the Fulani oligarchy are determined to keep Nigeria in a state of chaos because that's the only environment where predators like them can thrive.

The system works over there but Ghananians government is closing down their businesses because of every flimsy reasons and excuses.

How many Nigerians businesses have been shutdown in USA and UK for the same reasons?

Why won't Ghana shutdown their businesses when people like you won't stop glorifying their shithole. Ghana is still a shithole like Nigeria nothing better or special

Bobbybrwon:

The Lagos State Government says it recorded 81 per cent of the projected revenue for the first half of 2020, in spite the scourge of COVID-19 pandemic on economic activities.


The Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Mr Sam Egube, disclosed this at the 2019/2020 Annual Press Conference Week Lecture, of the Lagos State Governor’s Office Correspondents (LAGOCO).

The theme of the lecture is ”Rethinking Lagos from The Post COVID-19 Era”.

Egube, the guest speaker at the event, who was represented by Mr Lekan Balogun, Senior Special Assistant to Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Economic Matters, said that the 81 per cent performance of the projected revenue for the period was at N432.6 billion.

He said that in spite the COVID-19 pandemic, the government had been able to re-strategise to conform with the demands of the present realities.

According to him, good governance is one which has the ability to respond when disturbances arise.

”Lagos State economy remains the largest and arguably the fastest growing economy in Nigeria.

”The state’s economy was projected to grow at four per cent prior to COVID-19. However, COVID-19 has affected the possibilities of achieving such prosperous target.

”Having looked at the half of the year budget performance, it showed that despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the total revenue recorded in performance is at 81 per cent of our initial target,” he said.



Egube, however, said that while the state’s economy was projected to record a four per cent growth, the COVID-19 pandemic has brought in strains that demanded a contraction in the state’s budget by 21 per cent in response to constriction in economic activities.

He said that the review of the budget was, among others, necessitated by lower GDP growth, decline in demands for goods and services, and shortfall in revenue generation.

The commissioner said that the review in the state’s budgetary plan was effected to maintain a strong response to the effects of the pandemic on food, ensure job creation, economic stability and economic reforms for ease-of-doing business.

He said that the experience of the lockdown brought the government to the reality of the shortcomings in the state’s food storage system, which necessitated the increase of the allocation to agriculture to N2.8 billion.

Egube said that with the experience of COVID-19, the state government had introduced the creation of stabilisation fund at one per cent of yearly IGR, to provide support during future emergencies.

In his remark, Sanwo-Olu, who was represented by the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, said that in spite the COVID-19 crisis, ”governance never stopped”.

According to him, as soon as the lockdown was eased, the piloting of the state commenced, which has led to the commissioning of a number of completed projects, while those undergoing execution are set for completion.

He said that the projects completed amidst the COVID-19 lockdown included the rolling out of new buses for ease of transportation, unveiling new boats and channel-routes for waterways; commissioning of new health facilities; housing schemes, among others.

In his goodwill message, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Gboyega Akosile, appreciated members of the Governor’s press corps for the support given to Sanwo-Olu’s administration in terms of publicity of government programmes.

While urging the journalists to continue in that regards, Akosile assured Lagosians of the readiness of the governor to deliver on his campaign promises.

In his address, the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Lagos State Council, Dr Qasim Akinreti, commended the governor for showing exemplary leadership, in spite of the attendant challenges.

According to him, Lagos has excel very well to redefine the way people do things.

”It is on record that when COVID-19 came, the governor stood up to be counted and responded appropriately. Lagos has become a reference point, other governors have come to borrow a leaf from Lagos State,” Akinreti said
