Ok I have seen enuf evidence.. that shows that itsekiri is a continuum of the yoruba language.. my argument which I was standing on was that the reason why I said itsekiri was different from the yoruba language is because I used cultural practices and dressing patterns as well as history which pays more reference to the benin empire. Also our chieftaincy titles r more related to the benin language. That was why I said the itsekiri was nt yoruba.. thanks for adding to my knowledge Cc:setaje scholes0 7 Likes |

Where do we fit in the Olukumi people of Delta state who are said to be originally Yoruba's? I read through their history which indicates that their language is more like ancient Yoruba language. Olukumi literalily meaning my friend is also known as the Lukumi tribe in American/ the Carribeans slave history. |

delpee:They are yoruba as well, but are too small.... read this..... Odiani clan comprises 8 communities which are said to have historically emigrated from the Akoko area of Yoruba during the wars which raged in that part of precoloncoil African, during the 18th century when they arrived at their present day Delta State, the Yoruba Edo (Benin) émigrés and Ibos from the east of the Niger river had been on ground for a minimum of three centuries. Unable to communicate with the hostile people all around them, they courtesied all had Sunder who they came into contact with “Olukumi” a word in the Akoko of Yoruba language which means “my friend”. |

teeowl:Actually learned historians have the opposite opinion Igala and Yoruba have important historical and cultural relationships. The languages of the two ethnic groups bear such a close resemblance that researchers such as Forde (1951) and Westermann and Bryan (1952) regarded Igala as a dialect of Yoruba. But actuallly, Yoruba is not a dialect of Igala and Igala is not a dialect of Yoruba. Both are dialects of an original "Yoruboid language" 1 Like |

JingoOAU: Initially (long ago), most people in Akoko Area didn't speak Yoruba. Yoruba took over their original languages (which were originally all Edoid or "Nupe like" ), and continues to spread eastwards, Edo languages and Ebira are the next in the line of danger. this is from my own personal extensive research. 3 Likes |

All this arguments are something you can put to rest wit a little research How are Itsekiri/Ijekiri not part of the Yoruba family? Even names like Oritsefemi, omawunmi, ayo oritsejafor should make you think 1. Counting in all yoruba dialects are identical -this of course includes the beautiful Itsekiri 2. All Yoruba have a history that is interwoven- includes Itsekiri . Their migration from Ijebu tells it all 3. The very meaning of Itsekiri/Ijekiri - Voyage of wandering about 4. The Itsekiri king is still an Oduduwa descendant through the Omo n'Oba n'Edo 5. Every yoruba Speaker (regardless the dialects u speak) understand Itsekiri. I even understand Itsekiri songs better than Owo. .Owo has too much Bini influence 6. Itsekiri language is closer to Standard yoruba dialect than Akoko...yet you don't see Akoko saying they are not yoruba 7. Itsekiri communities have Yorubic names 8. Bare in mind yoruba dialects are all different so saying Itsekiri is not yoruba is like saying there are no Yorubas 9. Ilaje, Owo, Ondo, Anago, Awori, Ijebu watersiders dress differently from the major Yorubas too, so Itsekiri isn't the only one 10. The messed up political structure of Nigeria shouldn't destroy a people 5 Likes |

Re: List Of Yoruba Dialects by Wulfruna(f): 6:07am On Apr 25, 2015 |
macof: It is not fair to say Revd Johnson just made it all up. As a matter of fact, he didn't. The version of Yoruba-origin story that Johnson used in his book was obtained from an account given to Hugh Clapperton by the then Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammadu Bello. That version appears to have been relatively well-known in Muslim circles. It is legit to criticise that account as Muslim propaganda but it is not fair to Samuel Johnson to say that it was he who just sat down and made it all up. People often accuse Johnson of making up things, when most of the times he only related what he was told by the Oyo arokin of his day. What he was told was sometimes not accurate, but it was not he himself who originated the inaccurate bits in his book. 1 Like |
