OK GLAD i finally caught up with one of you egun people.


can you people please carry your dirty stinky makoko village and move somewhere else.


that place is an eyesore.

take your rubbish and move back to badagry .


why must u live like a dirty villager in a civilised area.

that place is an eyesore.

go back to badagry .

i am sick and tired of folks who think everyone must be in lagos.

I'm telling u , u guys are lucky that i am not the governor. cus i would have destroyed that slum .

go back to your village and fish.

@tyrant11: your response shows how uncivilized you are! Endeavor to be cultured in your manner of approach to whatever trend you see and I wonder how clean you are to taunt others and potray them in bad light over a section of a group who aren't all from Badagry but the Rep. of Benin. Get your facts and figures right.

ROMFLMAO!!!!!! Baba Egun!!!
Keep deceiving yourselves . . . . .  "Egun man"

what do you mean by deceiving yourself?

ezeagu:
So what are they dropping their language for?

@Ezeagu: for nothing. They'll keep to the language or do you personally intend dropping ur language for anything?

PhysicsMHD:
The Egun seem to be a subgroup of the Yoruba.

Yes of course.

@Ezeagu: never will the Eguns drop their language for Yoruba or viz-a-viz.

@Uweh: everybody has got the right to protect his/her possession and identity. They- as well as Badagrians or any other Ogu speaking community learn to inculcate the habit of preserving this culture thru which the parents and elders teach their young ones.

Let's get it on. What's your prediction Arsenal vs Birmingham?
You can as well win airtimes if you predict correctly. Text your predictions to 3 5 8 1 1 in this format: SD 6496 Ars 3 Birm 2. Goodluck

Abagworo:
Igbos actually call other Igbos names and it is no way peculiar to Onitsha.We call other Igbos Igbo and we are still Igbo.Owerri people call other Igbos Isuama,Ngwa call other Igbos Ohuhu,Ikwerre call other Igbos Isoama.

What I meant was denial of Igbo and not what we call other Igbos.

@Abagworo: interesting

TewMuch:
It must really really suck to be Igbo. Chai! See you in pain after learning the truth.

Yoruba's are claiming Kwara? rotflmao. Kwara IS YORUBA! FACT! Yoruba Empire went all the way to Abuja, there are some people in Abuja towns that go by Yoruba names. Dont kill yourself oh.

Anyway back to sane people, I am trying to educate you on what has been lost in translation and what you dont know. So that elements like the Obiagu whose culture makes them talk like wild animals will not deceive you. i meant LTV8, sorry about that and i never claim what i dont know. Yoruba go waaaay back and always proud to identify ourselves as Yoruba. This actually disproves the fact that Yoruba is an European/hausa concoction. The group Yoruba has been known as Yoruba forever. And yes we know our history and people very very well. We dont claim people that are not ours, never have and never will. Maybe Egun lost their history over the years. But we have seen them ask the Alaafin for clarification on if they are "Anago" and foreigner's as some elements in Ogun wanted to use as an excuse to take over their lands. So you see, there is more than kinship and blood. In Ghana Yoruba have over 50 villages, but they do not speak OUR Yoruba or bear our Yoruba names.

http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/dewiki/en/Tabom_People

"Accordingly, the Egun Concerned Group strongly disagreed with the attempt to derisively referred to them as Anago which the Egun said there is no where in the history of Yoruba land some sections were called Anagos.

While making reference to their fact finding mission to Oyo Alaafin during the Alaafin of Oyo's birthday in 2006 and 2008 to find out if there was any tribe bearing Anago in Yoruba History and that the Alaafin denied it."

Why will they ask the Alaafin about their history?

I can't laugh

Obiagu1:
@ the bolded

I now understand why Yorubas are cowards and bitchy. No wonder.

@Obiagu1: ah, Ah, Ah, That's unkind of you. Can someone refer to the Igbos-I mean all- as being fraudulent by nature and you'd glad by it? You don't judge everyone by picking a sample.

@Tewmuch:

TewMuch:
Besides fashola has given egun people a spot on nta to promote their language so it doesnt seem like Awori's are trying to take advantage.
"THE NUBIAN TONGUE PRESERVES ITS AUTHENTICITY BY ABIDING TO ITS ANCIENT SPIRITUAL LEGACY. THIS IS EVIDENT IN THE ADA LANGUAGE OF THE GA-ADANGBE SUB-NATION, WHICH RETAINED THE ANCESTRAL NAME "NIMLOR" SPELT BY THE MODERN HEBREW,GREEK OR LATIN AS "NIMROID". THUS, A SAYING IN THE ADA LANGUAGE;- 'NOR NOR TSHAPI "NIMLOI" OR "NOMLOI", LITERALLY MEANS ;THIS PERSON IS NOT A "NIMROID" (NIMLOI). THIS SAYING IS ADDRESSED TO A PERSON WHO DO NOT POSSESS THE CHARACTERISTICS AND QUALITIES OF "NIMLOI" AS A WARRIOR, KING, AN ORACLE OR A PERSON OF HOLY SPIRITUAL PRACTICES. THEREFORE, A PERSON WHO IS NOT A GOOD PERSON, OR ANY PERSON OR PERSONS WHO WILL DO ANYTHING BAD MAY BE ADDRESSED AS "NOR NOR TSHAPI NIMLOI".

MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS B.C. THE “ADA/KROBO”, “GA,” “GBE” AND OTHER RELATIVE NATIONS WERE PART OF THE "YOOHUBA" NATION (YORUBA), THEN PART OF THE SUMA/ UBAIDA PEOPLE WHO WERE ATTACKED OUT OF THEIR LAND BY TERRORISTS AND VANDALS. DUE TO THESE ATTACKS SOME OF THE NUBIANS WERE ENSLAVED WITHIN THEIR OWN NATIONS AND SUB NATIONS AND MOST OF THEM RELOCATED TO MANY RELATIVES AREAS ON THE NUBIAN CONTINENT NOW CALLED “AFRICA”. MOST CHANGED THEIR NATIONS NAMES DUE TO SECURITY REASONS, AND OTHER NAMES WERE CHANGED DUE TO EUROPEAN COLONIZATION, COUPLED WITH RELIGION AND LANGUAGE CONVERSIONS.

MANY OF THE (UBAIDAN) “IBADA” PEOPLE THEN OF THE SUMA TERRITORY CAN BE FOUND AMONG MANY TERRITORIES IN THE PRESENT AFRICA, MOSTLY IN NIGERIA'S YORUBA. YOO-RU-BA = THE FEMALE COUNTER-PART OF THE SUPREME DIVINE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. THE MALE COUNTER-PART IS "NU". "

Even Lamurudu/Nimrod is mentioned

that's investigatory of you. I find it good when we share common thoughts on the positives though to enlighten ourselves.
I guess you meant LTV and not the NTA?

Go and check at the link below to get it right that Badagry has the first storey buildings o Nigeria. Please be informed as well that I'm not judging civilization based on Religion or whatever but trying to get you informed that civilization came to Nigeria thru Badagry. How do you define civilization if not as being an "advanced and organised state of human social development"?( OXFORD ADVANCED LEARNERS DICTIONARY ). Thru Badagry, advanced ways of living entered Nigeria and that's all I'd say for now.

ezeagu:
The area that came to be known as Nigeria had civilisation before the arrival of Christianity and Western education. There were children in different parts of what is now Nigeria being schooled in different things before 1900, including writing. The Europeans only brought their own standard education. Christianity is not a measure for a civilisation, and the people already had their own religions. There is no proof that Badagry had the first 'storey building' in Nigeria, in fact, the whole idea Badagry having the first storey building in Nigeria in the 1800s is complete nonsense. Hausa architects had been building sotrey buildings at least 500 years before a missionary ever built anything at Badagry. There are Igbo war towers still standing that have multiple platforms. Benin architecture shows evidence of storied buildings.  Badagry does not have the 'first storey building in Nigeria', by far.

PhysicsMHD:
apparently "Egun" is a Yoruba word meaning "bones"

http://www.bioline.org.br/request?ep03009 (talks about the "Ogu" or Egun-speaking peoples and their family structure)

@PhysicsMHD: I don't mean to play down your intelligence and as well don't mean to insult you but that's rude of you not knowing what you really want to say. The Yoruba word "EGUN" with the ascent (re re) is far too different from "ÈGÙN" with the ascent (do do). These two words are only synonymous in spellings but not in pronunciation, they are two WIDE and distinct words. Always make posts of things so sure and confirmed please.

TewMuch:
Mr Egun, get your story stright with your fair weather stories. Andre Uweh is a very mischevous fellow. See below:

"
The other two groups of Lagos State citizens are the Ogu people of Badagry and its environs, and the Ijebu in Ikorodu and Epe Local Governments.

Badagry town houses the first storey building in Nigeria, built in 1845 and still standing on its original site.

Badagry's original name was Gbagle a contraction of the word Ogbaglee, meaning in Ogu (not Egun as commonly mis-pronounced and mis-spelt) "a farmland near the swamp". The Ogu people are historically reputed to have migrated from the ancient Ketu.

Kingdom (part of Oduduwa's Kingdom) and they left Ile-Ife around the mid-13th century, for Accra in Gold Coast. The Ga/Ewe (Aja-Ogu) speaking group of today's Ghana are indeed the kith and kin of the Ogu of Badagry. "

Perhaps they bear Yoruba names because of their kinship with Yoruba's and so many inter-marriages. You can't deny your father's heritage Mr. Semasa no matter how certain elements will want to misconstrue it politically. Peace, knowledge is power.

that's interesting of you assuring your claims but be reminded that as much as I respect the authorship one thing stands clear in this that "Ogu" is the language not "Egun" as rightly said but "Egun" is the people itself and it should not be wrongly gotten that is outrightly Yoruba, its just the interrelationship that exists that bring them together and mind you, it was the Yoruba speaking community of Republic of Benin that migrated from Ile-Ife not the Eguns rather they do so from Ghana.

@Andre Uweh: you got me all correct. Egun or local names are quite important than foreign names for identity and originality purpose and cultural promotion as well.

@TewMuch: the multi-ethnicity in Nigeria doesn't mean that Egun is a subset of Yoruba, rather it simply means they're considered or grouped as Yorubas simply because they fall on the same geopolitical zone. I need you to convince me that a Calabar indigene considering self as an Igbo or others doing same.
