The people of magongo are not Yoruba we don’t share a Yoruba culture our people know that we stayed with idoma some years ago being related to them
You can’t find up to 10 people in magongo or speaks or understands yoruba

What does kecha mean in Yoruba?
What does ishomaro mean in Yoruba?
What does arumega mean in Yoruba
What does Eba mean in Yoruba
What does osibina mean in Yoruba?

My aunty told me that we are said to have migrated from ile Ife but it might not be true and if we are to do a proper research we would fall under idoma or edo

As we speak osayen
We don’t marry other than edo/ogori/delta/idoma
And edo and idoma refer to magongo people as brothers

Qua qua qua qua.
Pls... what is especially special about the names Akpafa, etu, idu or okpowo? LMAO .. All these words could have meaning in any of the numerous Yoruba dialects.

Its also funny how you remember those ones, but don't remember the most important parts of town: AIYEROMI, ARAWU, AYETORO, EKU OBA, ILETEJU, OBINOYIN, UDADEGUN, OMODA, OBATIGBEN or OJUBEDI.

At least if you want to mention areas of town the least you could have done is list an ample sample.

Agenda must agend with you.

I’m from magongo you can’t find up to 10 people who speaks Yoruba
We speak osayen
Does kecha mean anything in Yoruba
And what does ishomaro mean in Yoruba we traded with Yoruba people cause we are welcoming it doesn’t make us Yoruba of Igbo
We are much more related and relaxed with the edos and idoma
Some people in magongo would say we can be traced back to edo or idoma and we are just forced to go with Yoruba
Please don’t change our history

True,ogori may have had contact but not necessarily originating from Yoruba as widely claimed even by ogori/magongo people.

Ogori language, oko is grouped with idoma and Nupe,it is said to be idomoid,and prof akerejola wrote in his history of ogori book than ogori lived with idoma for up to 200years.

Ogori is a distinct tribe,but my hypothesis is that we are more edoid than yoruboid

In magongo we don’t speak Yoruba we don’t understand Yoruba
You won’t find up to 10 people who knows can speak Yoruba
We speak osayen and my name is osisiemesse
Is that yoruba?no it’s not my aunty in magongo said it’s true they say we came from ile Ife but if we were to do a proper research we are not from there but from edo state

babasolution:
This is akin to what I have been saying ,but someone accused be of trying to discredit Yoruba,the thing is that many minority tribes history as falsely been made to be subsumed by major tribes,like the case of ogori and magongo which as been subsumed to a Yoruba subgroup which might even be wrong.

Many tribes close to the Yoruba like the edos and even smaller tribes like ogori,egun etc have a forced ile-ife origin link.

There needs to be a broader perspective to the history of minority groups .The ile-ife myth needs proper research it's to one sided.

The Yoruba have tried to link almost every tribe under an ile-ife origin, further consideration as to be made to determine the veracity of these claims

Note:there has to be a proper explanation as the ile-Ife link to the magongo people are not true
We do not speak Yoruba we do not understand Yoruba
We speak osayen and if magongo was to be properly checked out we fall under the Benin kingdom
Our history has been changed and we need to learn the difference magongo is different from ogori
Know this and know peace but we are not enemies
