what about that of benin corpus, did the history not tell you that it was their mothers that was Yoruba, while their fathers are benins, or since they married yoruba they automatically became one

Where did Oduduwa come from?

Ogu people are not Yoruba

The simple truth is that Yoruba as a construct is a 20th century construct within the context of Nigeria.
Ogu language is not in the Yoruba language family and there is next to zero mutual intelligibility. At some point in history the Ogu people like the Egba e.g fell under Oyo domination

They have similarities but they are different people

MDM2021:
All you are saying does not indicate any conquest of Owo or Akure. Rather, it suggests a mixture of the Binis and the Yorubas whether true trade, marriage or due to their close proximity. Your argument simply supports what the Yorubas know and have always said that the Obaship in Ibinu land, not the Ogisoship please, was from Ife. Oranmiyan went to Ibinu from Ife and he returned to Ife. He neither died in Ibinu nor was buried there. If he was from Ibinu, he would not have had any cause to return to Ife. Igodomigodo and Ogiso are quite different from Binis and Oba respectively.

Where did the ancestors of the Igodomigodo come from?

ishekri ,ogoni , and oro nation and Igbos that have over 85% of Nigeria's oil don't even talk but na ijaw , uhrobo , ibiobio , ikwerre way no even get too much oil na them they shout our oil pass

Remember a video of Igbo chief in Rivers state ( ndoni ) saying " those people way they make noise about our oil our oil how many of them have oil wells ?

No tribe have more oil than Igbo nation

But oil per population ? Oro nation is the highest but ibiobio n anang no them even allow them feel their oil Money

MDM2021:
So, who are the Yorubas? The Ekitis, Ijeshas, Egbas, Oyos, Ifes, Aworis, Ijebus, Egbados (Yewas), Eguns, Owos, Ondos, Akures? Who among them can we call Yorubas as it appears you more about the Yorubas?

MDM2021:


Where did the ancestors of the Igodomigodo come from?

You'd better learnt to live in peace with your neighbours.

TAO11:

King Oduduwa of Ifẹ (aka Ọṣin Ọra) hails from the hilly community of Oke-Ọra — 1 of the 7 hills surrounding the Ifẹ bowl.

TAO11:

His claim that the name “Yoruba … is a 20th century construct within the context of Nigeria” is an ignorant FALSEHOOD.

The name “Yoruba” may be seen in a writing from the year 1615 (and perhaps another earlier writing from the year 1597). Refer to the red highlight of the first screenshot below for its presence in the 1615 writing.

The existence of these writings of 1615/1597 further proves that the name had obviously been in existence (in non-written form) even long before 1615/1597.

I would like to think that the years 1615/1597 comes prior to the creation of Nigeria ✌

Moreover, the 2nd attachment is from an 1863 work. It clearly shows the existence of this name. It also goes to show the geographical delineation.

Again, I like to think that the year 1863 comes prior to the creation of Nigeria ✌

Cheers.
