Why Itsekiris Are Not Yorubas But Binis by EzeNri(m): 6:42pm On Apr 22, 2021
Itsekiris traced their origin from Bini, so I don't understand why Yorubas are trying to blackmail them into accepting Yoruba as their origin like they did to Aworis and Ijebus.

Itsekiris and others voted overwhelmingly in the plebiscite of 1963 to exit the yoruba-controlled Western region to join their Bini brothers in the Mid-Western.

If they are Yorubas, why did they voted MASSIVELY to leave the western region?

Here is an extract of the history of Itsekiris from Britannica—the world's largest encyclopedia.

The Itsekiri live on the coast in an area of extensive mangrove swamps and freshwater wetlands. They are primarily fishermen and have employed traps, fences, and nets, as well as rod-and-line techniques. Women make mats and baskets from reeds and palm materials. Silversmithing has died out, and blacksmithing has declined.

Myths of origin establish that Ginuwa, the Itsekiri founder and first olu (king), was originally a prince of Benin, so that subsequent kings are descendants of the oba of Benin. Lesser chiefs once met as a council and advised the olu. Chieftaincy is being redefined in conformity with modern government, and some settlements do not participate in chieftaincy at all.

Just like Itsekiris, here are other non-yorubas, our yoruba brothers are fighting hard to smuggle into their yoruba ethnic group:

1. Ijebu

2. Aworis

3. Egbas

4. Ilajes

5. Isale-Eko

6. Ife (Igbo settlement)

7. Ugbo

8. Bini (their biggest attempt at land grabbing)

9. Eguns

Itchekiri is Bini, Bini is Yoruba. Therefore, itshekiri is Yoruba. This is logic.
We are not after that. We are after breaking Nigeria into pieces so that the selfish politicians can be held responsible when they are living in your backyard. Nigeria is too big to be a country try in Africa. Until Africa develop, no Nigeria.

You only make sense with the last paragraph.

Ekiti, ondo, itsekiri, lagos, part of osun are all Benins


The enire yorubas are benin by cultural influence


Benin conquered the entire yoruba and forced them to speak their words

Names like ogun, ayelala are all bini idols


Words like oba, ugbo(farm), cat (ologbo), police (olakpa) are all, benin words borrowed by yorubas as a result of we ruling them for 500yrs


They denel us for the made up ethnicity called yorubas that was foemed by the British


Because the britsh decided to reduce the Benin political power

All Yorubas are originally binis who lost their way to the bristh new identity

All Yorubas in the past paid homage to the oba of Benin
