I never said so,ogori was previously placed under kabba province by the colonialist.

However,Yoruba was used to propagate Christianity in Akoko-edo,ogori zone as it was a neutral language, some sort of lingua franca like English due to the fact that the zone comprising of numerous small villages which spoke different Languages.

Ogori was the first village in the whole Akoko-ondo, Akoko-edo zone to establish a primary school,the Anglican agents and the church propagated Yoruba language in the school and church. infact ogori were the ones who then preached and propagated Christianity to all that zone using Yoruba language.

Okay

No Igbo in any North central State. But we have alot of Igala in the East. Anambra is even an Igala ancestral State. Some parts of Enugu are Igala too.

Igbo States are only Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and half of Enugu States

For Ogori though it doesn't have any history of following oramiyan though,infact the reason stated for OGORI leaving IFE was banishment due to failure to fulfil sacrifices or discontentment by a so called prince.

There's no story of this prince in ile-ife, there's no story of this so called banishment in ile-ife

The story is concocted

Where did you see prince went to Ogori from Ife?

The point remains that around the time Ogori left Ile Ife 500 years ago, all the people there had been conquered and assimilated.

How is it possible Ogori maintained a culture and language different from Yoruba? Hmmm!??

No evidence of any Yoruba conquering,ogori-magongo language is neither yoruboid nor edoid,its a unique language and culture. Ogori also has a history of crossing the river Niger and staying in idomaland for close to 200 years,all these point to the fact that the ogori, had a culture and history far from Yoruba.

Our history did not start 500 years ago

What's their population in those places?..

Most of the people you call Hausa are actually not Hausa.. Yoruba population in Kwara state number over 2.5 million... The Yoruba people in kogi have the largest landmass with a population of approximately 1 million people. The whole kogi west and some part of kogi central is Yoruba land. There's no way the egbira outnumber the Yoruba in kogi, there's a lot of controversy surrounding the kogi population..
You have time for idiots. See him allocating most populous tribe in Kwara North to Hausa people.
Baruten and Kaiama people are now Hausa.

It was clearly stated in their history they came from Ife. Oludo was the first settler in one quarter while Akinbuyi in another quarter.

Unagogo was Oludo's son which later metaphor to Magogo.

Either ways, they migrated from Ile Ife but has somehow changed in language.

You're not an ogori, no ogori can deny his root... The ogori people have not for once deny their heritage..

The below is you in Jan 2022 saying ogori is akoko stock and should join Akoko Ondo or Akoko Edo. From your comments there, a reasonable mind can deduce you know nothing about ogori and you're not from there..
The second image show you in Dec 2022 saying another thing and trying to discredit the Yoruba heritage of the Ogori people.

You can only deceive the gullible, your hatred for Yoruba will be your demise..

Say wat ever you want,I know were am from,my both parents are from ogori, ogori is older than Yoruba and not of Yoruba roots.

My comment about Akoko stock,is tru,I also said here,that ogori has inputs from Akoko stock, I still stand on it,especially of Akoko-edo, even many Akoko ondo lay claim to Benin and not to IFE.

Many ogori do not know their origins and they assume because many have Yoruba surnames they are of Yoruba roots.

Ogori is not an hybrid of ebira and Yoruba,OGORI doesn't have any Yoruba association, as an indigene I can tell you this,no ogori person can naturally speak Yoruba unless they learn it,the older generation were taught Yoruba in schools.

Ogori doesn't historically worship Yoruba gods,they have very minimal Yoruba culture, but plenty Benin related culture.

Yoruba naming convention started after ogori fled to ijebu owo during the Nupe wars and also during colonial times.

Ogori historically married many ebira women,this explains the ebira influence in ogori otherwise ogori has no relationship with ebira.

No family in ogori can trace it's origin in any part of Yoruba land,not even their Yoruba neighbours in okun or Akoko.

The ENI clan particularly recalls it's time in Benin.

There are ogoloko swords in ogori thought to emerge from Benin

Ogori crown is of Benin mould,it has been confirmed as recently as 1979.

What is the “Benin mould” for crowns?
What does the archetypical Benin crown look like.. can you show an example?

I do not how it looks like but there is written document on the fact that ogori crown was taken to the oni of IFE aderemi in 1979 to confirm its origin,the oni stated that the crown is ancient and of Benin build,also stating that since Benin crown is said to be from IFE then it's ultimately from IFE, but he categorically stated it's a direct Benin build crown type and must have originated from Benin and not IFE
