Yoruba champion the opposition party that brought about CHANGE from to darkness to light, kerosine N50

successful opposition party

very irrelevant and childish thread.

what are we meant to do with all these falsified and deluded information

But the Eguns are not Yoruba, even the Aworis which you claim to be are also denying same... A visit to Badary where the Eguns are shows that their way of life and language and also name is totally different from a typical Yoruba. U claims thus is faulted... Other tribes ad ethnic groups also have their unique achievements, don't come here and start claim suphisticacy or being a pioneer more than others...

Story for the gods....... successful in backstabbing

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL NOT JUST IN AFRICA, BUT THE WHOLE WORLD!!
BETTER THAN THE AMERICANS AND GERMANS PUT TOGETHER.

achievements from Anambra indegenes will make nonsense of the rubbish OP put up there

there's is something called "acculturation." im from Ilorin but stayed in badagry (mowe) for a huge part of my life. It's true egun people originally are not Yoruba but its almost impossible to find an egun person who doesn't have a Yoruba name or speak Yoruba. In fact, the grandson of the Akran, who's a friend of mine, has a Yoruba name. Most often than not, egun people don't disprove it when u call them Yoruba. With respect to the aworis...that's pure false. There's no awori person who claims he's not a Yoruba. In fact, the ooni of ife is not more Yoruba than the olota of otta or onijanikin of ijanikin...if you've studied Yoruba history very well and lived amongst them...you'll grab my point.
