The IGALA, a group that speaks a clear undisputed yoruboid language, where there are clear Yoruboid phrases used.

The IGALA are cut from connection with the nearest Yoruba area,the okun area by the river Niger.

How come this group speak a clear Yoruba language do not claim any ancestry at all from IFE, yet the Yoruba say all yoruboid groups are from IFE.

There is even no tale or legend of Yoruba migration to igalaland.

Narratives of IGALA migration to Yorubaland are denied by the Yoruba.

Even the Yoruba,eg the ooni of ife has never attributed igala to be from IFE, he hardly talks about any narrative of the igala Yoruba relationship.

The igala group are very far from Yoruba land yet retain Yoruba facial marking styles,cultural similarities and language, likewise the olukumi and itsheriki.

Yet the Yorubas do not claim the IGALA as being part of them.

But the Yorubas are quick to appropriate yorubaness to groups that do not speak any form of Yoruba dialect or yoruboid language and do not have any yoruboid culture or facial marks like the Akoko-edo and ogori etc and Benin.

Again why are the Yoruba silent on IGALALAND

Yoruba lagba🦹

Yoruba being from Ile ife is but a fairy tale, Ancestors of the Yoruba people originated from the modern igala area.

Lobatan!

Yoruba are not igbo

babasolution:


The yoruboid IGALA language is too widespread to be due to neighbours influence

Chill, you don't know Igala well

Some part of Igala trace their origin to Anambra North.

Ibaji local government especially Idoko side are connected to Anambra North. They speak and answer igbo names. Are those ones yoruboid too?

I don't too know about other parts

Bendeco2020:
Igala can't be Yoruba. Their behavior are not similar.

Yoruba are fearful unlike Igala.

Herders cannot kill Igala king and they sign peace.

If Igala have the population size of Yoruba, they will be more feard in Nigeria.

Even in other aspects they are not alike.

The language similarities is because of their neigbor yoruboid tribe in Kogi.

Tell us any historical event that portrays Yoruba as cowards in Nigeria. Also be bold enough to tell us your tribe and let's confirm something.

The majority speak a yoruboid language

Bendeco2020:

Language similarites cannot only make two tribes have same origin.

What about their apperance and behavior?

Igalas don't feel insecure

The thing is there is somewhat a strong connection of the IGALA with the Yoruba but it's totally ignore by Yoruba proponents,yet they are so concerned with tribes that have no Yoruba connection

It is so funny and unfair to say Igala is a yoruboid language, what if it's the other way round. What if Yoruba is a Igaloid language,,,,make una think....

The term yoruboid language as been standardized by scholars,however my point is there is an igala Yoruba connection which is not talked about enough
