Are The Ilajes, Aworis, Egbas, Ijebus, Ikales And Eguns Really Yoruba? by Bialegend(m): 7:15pm On Aug 31, 2015 |
Are Ilajes, Aworis, Egbas, Ijebus, Ikales and Eguns really Yoruba? Infact who are the real Yorubas. I was discussing with my co-worker whom i thought was Yoruba, so as the dicussion progressed, i said something like "you Yorubas", and this guy got so annoyed and cautioned me immediately and maintianed that his ethnic group is Ilaje and wanred me seriously never to call him a Yoruba. He also made me to understand that even the Aworis, Egbas, Ijebus, Ikales and Eguns are different ethnic groups from the Yorubas. So my Yoruba peeps in here where is the different between you guys and the Ilajes. 1 Like 1 Share |

@op, i have never come accross any ikale, ilaje, egba, denoucing being Yoruba. They are all dialects in Yoruba language. Moreso, nobody is more "yoruba" than other, no division in Yorubaland. Though, i dont know much about Egun! 17 Likes 1 Share |

Egun are clearly not yoruba, awori have repeatedly warned against being called yoruba. An ijebu chief last month insisted they are from sudan and not yoruba. I think a proper study needs to be done to avoid lumping pple with another group against their will. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

For crying out loud watch yourself. All the names you've mentioned are just the different dialects of spoken Yoruba, Ijebu for example is an Ogun state dialect. Please change the name of the thread as you are making it seem like Yorubas are confused people, we are all the same from western Nigeria to Togo. And please google is your friend. Bialegend: Armaggedon: Again google is your friend, Egun is a Yoruba word, Ijebus are famous due to there very powerful YORUBA army, and which Aworis, Aworis are 100% Yoruba, the name means the plate has sunk in Yoruba. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awori_tribe 7 Likes |

Armaggedon:This is exactly what i want them to understand, but Ola6 is here claiming Yoruba when he is just Awori and nothing else. He need to ask his people serious questions about whom he is. Perhaps, he is still too young to understand exactly who he is, so we can forgive him. Those from Badagry don't even see themselves as Yorubas, talk-less of a full blooded Aworian. 2 Likes 1 Share |

You dare not even call people from Ijesha, Arogbo-Ijaw, Akoko, Ife, Ogbomosho and Okun Yorubas without getting a dirty slap in your face. The Ife people for example are from Sudan and this have been proven already. 2 Likes |

Bialegend: You are a hypocrite. You are here asking him not to speak for Ikales, yet you are quick to hang on to and believe your imaginary "co-worker". I am yet to hear of any of those folks you said your non-existent co-worker listed (with the exception of Eguns who aren't Yorubas) claim to be anything but Yorubas. In other news, is Philip Emegwali right when he said the following about the inhabitants of Onitsha? ![]()

Bialegend: Please do not call me a liar. You sound so silly you realise right that there's no 'specific neutral' type of Yoruba, they all come from a specific sub-group. Example my family originate from the Aworis and Ijebus on my mothers side and ijebus on my father's side. Who is from sudan ?, ile ife is a Yoruba term to describe the orgins of the Yoruba. Look are you Yoruba ? I'm guessing your not, as the things you are saying make no sense. Wikipedia cannot be edited as easily as many people claim, that is a myth,you can try if you want if you don't believe me. All there articles are moderated by experts if you try editing an article. Look how did I even end up arguing with people who are clearly not Yoruba about our OWN culture. Let me leave you to deceive yourself. 5 Likes |

Femolacaster: I think nairalanders (or nl igbos) say Egba are Igbo. It's believed Ilajes used to be around Ife or thereabouts, but some of them might have moved to their current location after the arrival of Oduduwa. That would make them sort of the original inhabitants of Ife or it's environs. not set in stone though, I stand corrected if wrong. |
