The idiot is not Okun. He is trying to plant a seed of discord among the Okun Yoruba and their brothers in the Southwest That's why i ignored him.
He and the OP are typical examples of "da bi mo se da". They are trying to spread the confusion and disunity in their climes to other ethnic nationality. It is their type you will see shouting. "Fulani has enslaved Hausa!", "Fulani has hijacked Hausaland", "The Ilorin hates Yoruba" Ilorin belongs to the Fulani" "Yoruba Muslims hate Yoruba Christians!", "Yoruba Christians will not allow Yoruba Muslims to sell them" and all those kind of rubbish divisive comments and phrases. The best way to knock their empty cranium is to ignore them.

No Okun person, dead or alive will disclaim being Yoruba.

Gbam!

The general Yoruba language is a modification of the dialect of Oyo which because of the legacy of the Oyo Empire was the most widely spoken when the Yoruba orthography were formulated.

It however should be noted that Oyo Empire included non-Yoruba peoples and had close interactions with highest number of other peoples like Nupe, Hausa, Songhai, Malians, Fulani, Ewe and Fon.
In the process , their languages was influenced by all these peoples e.g The now accepted Yoruba name for


Prayer = Adura (old Yoruba= Iwure)

Priest= Alufa (old Yoruba= Abore)

Thanks for this enlightenment

myobjective:
The guy has serious inferiority complex. He doesn't speak for majority of Kogi west people who Yorubas.

I was born in the north and being from Ondo state (though mother from Ilorin) but since I stay and more used to my Ikare side, I tends to speak Ikare dialect more.

You may not know though if I switched to the general Yoruba because I grew up among people from Oyo and Osun state but these groups still find a way to ridicule my Ikare dialect when Is speak it to family men.
I'm not really ashamed to speak the Ikare dialect and I make it a point to explain to them that Ondo,Ekiti,Ijebu and Okun dialects are closer to proto Yoruba language than Oyo dialect that has shown my innovation due to their closeness with Nupes, Borugu etc.

Thank you jare

I will flog you if you don't stop quoting me. Nonsense

Whatever bro, If you Like.claim Ebira.
Who u help?

Bendeco02:
You called his own reasons and opinion rubbish... So for your mind u're more sensible than him?

You can't understand or take his own opinion yet you want him to reason the same direction as you.

Mumu!

U're entitled to your own reasons just like him.

Sure, he's entitled to his opinion that's why I retorted back that South West no dey beg them.
Why is he then antagonizing

In fact they should go with their Ebira and igala people, I think that is fair

nisai:
You cracked me up.

I understand u bro but let's give him the benefit of doubt. He may be genuinely hurt about those experiences hence his decision.

I am Ijebu and I have had my fair share of discrimination too. It's even much worste for the Ijebus with all the stereotypes coined for them by other Yoruba subgroups yet we embrace our Yorubanness like kilode.

His decision may be too harsh and irrational but we should make him realize it by good logic and explanation.

I wanted to fire him before too but i noticed the tone of his comments does not give him away as those impostors hence my diplomatic approach towards him.

Btw, I hear you Ondos do not like us, why?

Sorry jare.
@bolded Ondo and Ijebu have wars in the past.
We still call one kind cutlass as Ida Ijebu.

And I believe there can't be two captains in a ship as you're stubborn, we're equally stubborn

Well, that's in the past tho.


Modified.
The cutlass is called Ijebu Peyinda

Sufferingboy:
Last person(that is person wey dey carry last)

So anything wey he dey do in his life his bad name go dey disturb am dey go.

Lmaooooo

Sufferingboy:
His name is Ikpeazu so nor too blame am.

What's the meaning of the name?

Maybe you should come and carry the ballot box sir on the election day

Ikpeazu abi wetin be ur name.

Shame on you.
Tomorrow nah another year, ur uncompleted fly over go be 7yrs old

nisai:
Noooooo Sammy.
Omo iya wa niwon ao ribi tiwon si oooo.

Abeg no justify weytin the guy don dey yarn since about discrimination.

The guy just dey yarn rubbish.
He faced discrimination up to Ijebu people?

They'll say Ijebu are stingy, their wives no dey last in marriage abi na their husband self. Etc

Many years ago, we and ijebu people no dey marry. We believed there can't be two captains in a ship cos we both have Stubbornness.

He never face discrimination up to Ondo/Ijebu people

Most times I speak English, if I speak Yoruba my dialect go show, they'll ask where I am.from, I'll tell them Ondo.
Next thing is, Ah Ondo Aje Aja bla bla. Their girls dey "Do ofo"

Etc, with that I go turn am to laugh that no be some people dey eat snake and Lizard ni etc

He now dey yarn nonsense.
Mtcheeeew

walefresh3:
oga keep shot... If u are a Yoruba person u wont talked like dis ? You can hardly differentiate between ondo Yoruba and okun Yoruba... So who are the people discriminating you... Don't ever call yourself a Yoruba person with dis kind of attitude...

You should should.have shut his mouth since page 2.

Nonsense, who know him?
He should be called egbira or igala who cares or even Fulani.

I just dey vex.

Very funny, I blame you guys for prolonging this issue.

An an Ondo guy, it was very hard for me to speak general Yoruba without my dialect showing, I knew Kwara state 4 yrs ago, anything I speak nah laugh, they'll even abuse us that we eat DOG etc our girls bla bla. Any Ondo guy can attest to this


So because of that I should renounce my Yorubaness

Mtcheeeww

yunqdady:
Any Okun person that claims Yoruba has not met with a Yoruba person from South West before.
Maybe such Okun person lives in the north or lives in Okun region or lives where yoruba people are not present.
Yoruba people will be the first to tell you you aren't part of them. But call you agatu, tapa, Ebira or abokiii. It is due to ignorance because majority of Yoruba people don't travel. And they are very tribalistic. Even their fellow people IN South West, they show tribalism, how much more you that is outside their region.
Nonsense.
Only the educated and INFORMED SW person will agree to Okun being called Yoruba.
I spent 17years in my little town here in Kogi West, and I always call myself Yoruba.
When I gained admission into a university in SW, I stopped.
I was made to feel inferior. My Yoruba accent and some mispronounced Yoruba words( imagine an Ijebu or Ilaje speaking Yoruba with their own accent) always make me stand out and I was laughed at. So why should I still claim to be who I was told I wasn't?
Although, I blended after a semester but that experience is enough to deny.
Yoruba people need history and geography lessons, too bad and poor!
Imagine someone living in face me and face you having guts to look down on you living well all because he's "proper Oyo".
Thunder faya them. Nonsense

[/s]

Nonsense, bear whatever you want to bear.

No be you wan join South West? We forced you?

Call yourself egbira self, who cares

nisai:
Bro, there are such ignorant tribalists everywhere, even within South west Yorubas, even within Kogi west Yorubas. Every Okun person is Yoruba by default so don't give up your larger identity because of some ignorants.

Abeq leave am, is the whole yagba or whatever it called developed up to Ondo west local government?

We don't force people to join us.

Maybe his or their negative views is why they haven't become a governor in their co owned state.

Nonsense and rubbish

AkalaJ:
@yunqdady: I've always held the view that anyone is free to be whoever he chooses to be. Your case is rather unfortunate because your obvious anger stems from firsthand experiences you had during several encounters with SW-based Yorubas. You're only human, therefore I cannot fault your reaction to these unwarranted/unpleasant experiences from your supposed kinsmen.

Their attitude towards you was borne out of sheer ignorance. Let's just say Nigeria happened to all of us; we're all victims of the geographical fraud that previous administrations perpetrated on our race to balkanize, divide, and engender this exact attitudes towards one another.

However, in spite of all of that, I would still urge you to sheathe your sword out of maturity. You have more to gain as a component of the larger yoruba family than as an ethnic minority (there's power in numbers). There may well come a time when the geographical aberration/anomaly that birthed this problem would be redressed once and for all. All the best.

He's stupid who force am?

Mtcheeew. So because some just downgrade him it means anything?

He probably never heard that in the past Ondo and Ijebu don't marry. If not things that have changed.

Mtcheeew. He should interpret their names in Okun dialect and not Oyo Yoruba

Or never listen to Yoruba music, Culture, food and studies

Nonsense.
Even the Ijebu or Egba that should be doing this no do am.
Mtcheeew

oyatz:
You don't have deep knowledge about what you are discussing.


* There is no language called Okun. Okun is the way ways Yorubas salute each other while working and it literally mean 'strength'

The word Okun was adopted based on the suggestions of the ace Historian, Prof Ade Obayemi and other elites from the old Kabba province as a name to identify certain Yoruba speaking people of the province that share close relationships.


There are other people that also speak Yoruba language in addition to thier distinct languages in Kogi but have assimilated substantial Nupe and Ebira population and thus consider themselves non-okun e.g Oworo and the Ogori-mangogo people respectively.

However, the most important issue is , do Okun people consider themselves as Yoruba?

The answer is an overwhelming YES.

No mind those clowns.

I dare them to interpret their senator name Adeyemi in Okun dialect.

Mtchreew

yunqdady:
Ignorant yoruba people that have never stepped out of their brown root huts in their villages said we are not yoruba. Therefore we can't force ourselves to be what we are not. . We are Okun. We are not Yoruba. Nonsense

You're not.Yoruba so what are you? Where do you come from? What is the name of ur king?

I double dare you to interpret Adeyemi in Okun language

sirwilly5:
You know nothing of the Yoruba's in Kogi. Their language is total different with little similarity to the Yoruba's of the south west.
The Kabba people speak okun while the Amoro people speak yagba.
Same thing with the Igbo in rivers and delta.
Am from Kaduna pls but a constant traveller.
Thank you

You know nothing bro.
If I speak Ondo to you,.you won't hear.
Only Ondo/Ekiti fit understand wetin I talk

iwaeda:
You missed our good Kwara then.
Adesoye college was the balm then, even IBB had his children there too.
I have friends in Ondo too,been to many Akoko towns and villages, ,Oke-Agbe, Akure, Owo, Ijare, Omotosho, IgbaraOke and so on. One of my family members married from Akure

Wow, you're doing well.

@bolded be like that school has become a shadow of itself.

GboyegaD:
Why are they dressed like Pentecostal pastors? Just curious though.

Lol

iwaeda:
When I was younger, I love passing through that Okin Biscuits because of the aroma. I have been to the factory as as student, they gave us raw short cake biscuits, I love Okin malt, Noble, okin foam. Demsco and Erinle paper. Afolayan candles and Garments, Iddo-Oro, Buhari Oloto clocks, Sugar Bacita and so on. Owode, Oro markets
Mehn Kwara used to be fun then. May God bring back those great days

Mehn, I've not been to Kwara when Okin was functioning o.
I knew Kwara about 4yrs ago.
Nah Ondo I be

You know most time I come in through Ilorin, since then I pass Ijagbo, but Oju irin reluwe issomehow.

Is an eyesore

iwaeda:
I did not know that Okin biscuit has been abandoned, that you come in through Ijagbo. Mehn fear caught me as in only me. Until I got to Eleyeoka. My uncle said nobody pass that place again. Since then Ijagbo, but those speed bumb can destroy your sump if your car is low

Okin biscuit abandoned tipe tipe.

True then coupled with multiple police check points

iwaeda:
Erin ile to offa not too good.
Offa to ajase (offa to eleyoka is bad, eleyoka to ajase is good).
The last time I travelled home, they were repairing Eleyoka to Ajase, I thought they will get to Omupo- Idofian and Oro.

Yes they repaired eleyoka to ajase

Buh offa/ijagbo to Eleyoka is bad.

After Omupo is bad till you get to Idofian.
From idofian till u enter Ilorin is good.

Ajase to oro/omu aran is also good.

helinues:
But you created this thread asking about how state roads are fairing. Why mentioning federal roads then Emeritus?

No he said, state of roads to your home town.

State of roads different from state roads
