I have come to realise that South west is very diverse, they comprise of different ethnic nationality but conquered and dominated by yorubas. The word yoruba to me seems to be a unifying coinage just like Anioma, to bring bring all different ethnic nationals together.
However, unlike Anioma, different ethnic nationals in South west have nothing in common, aside that, they adopted yoruba language as a lingual franca..
among them are 1. Aworis : they occupy some parts of ogun state lagos and ondo state they have different culture and background, they have stated that they are not yorubas 2. The ijebus are fierce and aggressive, they have also affirmed that they migrated from sudan, so they can not be regarded as yorubas, 3. The Egun, they are found in Benin republic, lagos, Ogunn state and some part of oyo state. They have nothing in common with yorubas both in culture and language, they are the only one still tied to their traditional, maybe because they are very conservative.
others are ekiti, egba, ife, etc all these ones have aligned fully to the big family yoruba. but the question is who is the pure yoruba, because I hear people describe some with funny tags and names.. I need a very serious clarification here

I believe this post is aimed at causing disunity among the large Yoruba family either for political reasons or for any other sinister reason best known to the OP.

MrMaestro:

A blind man can see the Igbos are always envious of the homogenous nature of the Yorubas. They’ve been trying to cause disunity by state (which Yorubas never fall for), by religion (which Yorubas never fall for), and by dialect (again, which we never fall for). Again, just another failed attempt at this.

They should focus on themselves. More and more igbo children in the southwest are speaking only English and a bit of yoruba. They don’t even speak Igbo anymore. Soon they will all be subsumed.

When Azikiwe engineered Awolowo's imprisonment in 1962 and organized the Midwest Referendum to Cut the Western Region into two while refusing his own Eastern Region Minorities the same did it not backfire Spectacularly?

Uptheante:

Of course it did.
That's why many minorities in the South-south geopolitical region detest being associated with anything Biafra.
They prefer forming their own independent republics instead.
In contrast, non-Yoruba tribes like Bini & Itsekiri love associating themselves with the Yoruba race.
