While this discussion was going on, i put a call to my co-worker and he still angrily told me never to associate his Ilaje group to Yorubas and hanged up on me, so now who do i believe? When you look at the facial tribal/trade mark of the Aworis, it's far different from that of the Ilajes and the Yorubas. The Ife people who are from Sudan also have different facial tribal marks.

tpiander:
so you're saying your conversation went like this:

bia-idle: "hello, are you Yoruba?"


bia's imaginary kinsman: "I say am not Yoruba, kedu nah!"

bangs phone in annoyance.

Femolacaster:
@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!

anulaxad:
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.






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.

Armaggedon:
Your explanation is so dry. How can you say that egun and awori are yoruba words therefore they are yorubas.
Do you know edo means yellow in igbo. Does that mean Edo pple are Igbos?
Try harder.

Aworis are not Yoruba's, there was a time they asked Yoruba's to leave lagos for them. Ijebu too are not Yoruba's, oba of ijebu said they are Sudanese.
I don't know of egba but egun definitely not yoruba.

I don't know of egba bit egun definitely not yoruba.

OkutaNla:


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? :

Good for you, anyway it seems like you have gotten a hold of the Wikipedia page, what is the very first statement that you can you read?

The Awori are a tribe of the Yoruba people speaking a distinct dialect of the Yoruba language.

Case closed.

Armaggedon:
u re still repeating the same thing without proof
my take is that aworis, ilajes and eguns and other coastal pple of south west are of ijaw stock. prove otherwise and stop repeating same thing.

If you read my previous statements on this thread I have told you people already that [b]my mother is from an Awori backgroun[/b]d, sometimes I wonder if the people typing this nonsense are even human, have you been designed to cause trouble, an information website is showing you evidence and you are rejecting it, how senseless naive and arrogant can a human be? Where are you from sef?

If you are not Yoruba I have no reason to answer to you as you are speaking out of ignorance. Let us know where you are from.

I can easily re-author the wikipedia contents, so no sane human should rely on wikipedia for serious information.

Mckennedy:


I grow up at Badagry and they're Egun,, I even hear little Egun language.

Bialegend:

Do not speak for Ikales because you are not one of them, let them come in here and prove you right or wrong which i am sure youy are. I believe we have people from Ikale in this forum.

TonySpike:
The OP is being forgetful; Ekitis, Ijeshas, Arogbo-Ijaws, Akokos, Ifes, Ogbomoshos, Okuns, Ondos, Oyos and Igbominas are also not Yorubas. Ode lasan lasan...
