Nowenuse:
You and forgiveness should read what the Attah of Igala land had to say about IFA.

You can clearly see where he said Igalas are Yorubas with Kwararafan influences.

Abeg, I don't want this thread to be derailed with Yoruba issues.
I think I will open another thread for this issue.

Igbos & Yorubas must not project their insecurities into every single minorities thread. This thread is not for SW Yorubas & SE Igbos.

@ emboldened

Please I need link to this

And this thread isn't about Middle belt republic either..

And I don't recall anyone appoint you the spokesman of all minorities in Nigeria or the Ishekiri communities.

Nowenuse:
There is no town in Delta state that is indigenously Ilaje. If there is pls mention that town.

Ilajes are settlers in Delta state.

Olukumis are of Yoruba origin, but they are surrounded by Igbo settlements and have been heavily Igbonized. They now identify as Enuani, Anioma or Delta Igbos and not Yoruba.
Infact, the time Olukumis left the west, there was nothing like pan Yoruba identity at that time.

Itsekiris have not come out to officially tell the world that they are Yorubas.
Go to Warri and address Itsekiris as Yorubas (95% of them reject it).

Straight out of the Arse record

Oh intelligent one

Nowenuse:
I don't understand.

What link do you need?

Do u need a link to show you that Igala is a Yoruboid language? Or you need a link to show that Itsekiri (Warri kingdom) was founded by a Benin prince?

Itsekiris were not conquered by war. They were only unified under one crown by a Benin prince. It was the Okpotos (Igalas) that were conquered by war.

Oh very smart one

A Elder stateman amongst the Ishekiri known as Pastor Ayo claimed in an interview that the odu ifa told his people that a prince will come and rule them

Pastor Ayo also claimed they are Yorubas.

So when he eventually came they welcomed him with open hands.

Google is your friend..

You are not the one that would tell me Igala is Yorubiod language, I have read enough about the Igala to understand they are not Yorubas.

Nowenuse:
First of all, what is Yoruba?

Was Yoruba existing as an ethnic group outside Oyo 150 years ago?

Did Ijebus, Egbas, Okuns, Ekitis, Ijeshas, Ikales, Aworis e.t.c identify themselves as Yorubas in pre-colonial times? Hell no they didn't.

All the Yoruba speaking tribes were merged together under the Yoruba umbrella by the British colonial masters.


Igalas speak a Yoruba based language or Yoruboid language just like the Itsekiris (according to linguists). Google is your friend.

Igalas were neighbors to Yoruba speaking Okun people until Ebiras came and put them asunder.

Just like Okun, Igalas were a Yoruba speaking people. And shared boundary with other Yoruba speakers before Kwararafan colonization came.

Oh very smart one

Yorubas actually identify by different names before British

The Central Yorubas were recognize as Akus

Southern and Western Yorubas were called Nago

And North Yorubas were called Oyos or Oyo oba

And Eastern Yoruba were called Olukumi

More importantly, Oh smart one, we had the ifa religion which united us also known as Odu Ifa which the Igalas don't practice.

forgiveness:
Can you please show me proof Igala were Yoruba people?

The "very smart boy" will never give any solid proof outside some questionable studies, if he has any.

He knows everything about Nigeria simply because he came from jos and lived in among Igbos who taught him how to hate.

To him, the nonsense he wrote about conquest of Ishekiris and Igala without any documented evidence is sufficient empirical evidence.

Hence, anyone that questions him becomes dumb.

Nowenuse:
You and Tobrasky think I am a Yoruba hater, you guys are not serious.

Wait oo, you are saying Itsekiris never wanted to leave the Western region, did those who voted LEAVE not win in Warri divisions?
I used to have that poll result somewhere and I think pro Midwest voters won in Warri division.

Itsekiris killed Ijaws too in that Warri crisis.
Ijaws fight with almost everyone over land. Ikwerres, Ogonis, Binis and even Ilajes. Are Ilajes not in the SW?

You don't appear very smart to me. (Sorry).

Ok oh Smart boy

Please! oh smart one, do you know a lot of Uhrobo and Ijaws were also part of the Warri division that voted?

And putting that into consideration will affect the outcome of the result.

Oh smart One!

Nwanyiogwashi:
We will soon kick them out

Ok oh

You will settle your dispute amongst yourselves, you can't kick them out of their land now.

I feel Oni is waiting money tbh

Nwanyiogwashi:
Are they comparing in Delta state? Put your focus in your state and leave Delta mata for Deltans

You mean complaining in Delta?

Google is your friend

Nwanyiogwashi:
If you use this energy you use in claiming itsekiris to kwara state it wouldn't have gone to Fulani land

I repeat, I am not claiming Ishekiri but I just want them be given the opportunity to choose what they really want.

Their numbers are so small that people tend to force them to make decisions against their wishes.

Ishekiri should be given the opportunity to choose.

Owologbo:
anywhere Belle face people. please look elsewhere.

Abeg commot my mention and go face your two local government area jare.

Owologbo:
there's nothing to school about.
we have two local govts and we don't go about claiming other tribes, land or State as ours.

Yes oh but know who is Yoruba or not from your two tiny local government area smaller than the smallest local government in ibadan.

Guy Abeg!

Owologbo:
young man, you are becoming irritating with this your argument.
there's no Yoruba in Delta State. Delta State has no business with yoruba.

Isoko boy, stop mentioning me, if you just going to continue repeating the same thing like a toddler.

Good gestures

But why waste money, Bayelsa can afford it

Why not buy things like More food to feed more people in the west in form of Palliatives or something.

Owologbo:
John snow, you know nothing.

You are the one that knows nothing

Do you know the history of Moremi and Ilaje ugbo people of Ife.

Do you know the true story behind Olugbo

Isoko boy if need be I will school you about the history of your two tiny local government area in Delta state.

Owologbo:
there's nothing to understand there. even the Ilaje are not Yoruba (even twitwi of wazobia fm can attest to this?

Another Isoko boy looking for oil far away from his tiny Isoko enclave

Ilaje are not only in Ondo, they are found in Ogun, Ondo and Lagos and Delta state.

Twitwi koo Biscuits nii

Nwanyiogwashi:
[[s]quote author=Sunshineg5 post=89736442] Go and do your research properly

The Ilaje king Olugbo always claim to be Yoruba more than Oni himself

You people will be saying nonsense [/s] No Yoruba in Delta state Mister man, what is your problem

Ok

AhoadaRivers:
yorrober revisionism. I went to school to you people, I wonder why my yoruba classmates didn't make all these anti-Biafran comments whenever we talked about the civil war. They cowardly pretended to sympathize with Ibos during the discussion instead of saying their minds and insulting Biafra.

I would have had fun breaking tons of yoruba teeth and nostrils if they are bold enough to air their honest feeling about Biafra like you are doing here.

Cowards!

The way you type like a two by two shop apprentice doesn't show you attended any school of repute TBH.

Owologbo:
there's no Yoruba in Delta State.
Even the ilaje that are in Ondo State will tell you they are not Yoruba (make your research).

Go and do your research properly

The Ilaje king Olugbo always claim to be Yoruba more than Oni himself

You people will be saying nonsense
