Lagos to Ilorin ke! kilode! That's stress and besides Kwara is not part of the DAWN Project so i don't see that happening.I hope they integrate Kwarans though but i have some questions for you as an Ilorin resident

Funjosh:



Am more confused bros u no answer my question

laudate:


May I come in here?? Or is this thread only for Yoruba people??

ProfShymex:


Lol.

I only know two Ijebu chics on here - yetseyi and some funkybabe that used to post back in the day. Only yetseyi is active and I doubt she speaks Ijebu, tbh.

zimoni:
His brothe Barrister Sapara Williams was the first Nigeria Lawyer.

Sopona, I learnt Sopona ravaged Ijeshaland for years in those days before they found remedy. So it was this man that provided the remedy. Nice one, local disease requires local cure.

Till now, some local Ijesha people still use sopona to curse someone. They would say "Sopona La Je Ojure or Sopona La Pa Ooooo". My people can rain curse on themselves.

You are doing a wonderful job ProfShymex.

I hereby give you a Chieftancy Title - The Okanlomo of Yorubaland.

wytecat:
You love Yoruba and not afraid to show it. And more importantly you are honest, so, you are very welcome!

Now wat wil ya hav? On rock, riders or bottle?

ProfShymex:


Okay. But are they Yoruba and do they see themselves as Yorubas? Also, do they speak a language that's intelligible to Yorubas?

And which one are you from - the Yoruba side or the Edo side?

IlekeHD:


I think tpia is Ijebu. Ask her for lessons.

Funjosh:


Akure Dialect and Ekiti is almost similar, but Ondo Dialect is a different from them.

ProfShymex:
Superstar1

I know you're from Osun. What part of Osun is Adenle family from?

IlekeHD:


Ok

I remember Queen E (forget her name). Losing her daughter to childbirth changed her.

ProfShymex:


Lol. Tilapia is not and will never be Ijebu. We don't breed nutjobs.

She's from Taraba but surprisingly she only speaks mandarin. That's how mentally effed up Tilapia is.

mandarin:


I did answer your question. I said not just the Akoko are Yoruba but also many other tribes not well covered in Samuel Johnson history which centred on Oyo empire. Tale the Ogongo Magori ,Igala, Olukumi and the Bini royal houses

superstar1:


I careless about any clan that does not make effort to identify with the mainstream yorubas.

Though majority always write their ethnicity as Yoruba

superstar1:


Efunsetan.

She was very mean because she did not have any child. She was very rich and powerful. She was the Iyalode. More or less like the Leader of women.

superstar1:


Adenle is a royal family in Osogbo.

Arogunmasa:


Have never being to London but I hear one of my uncle says he takes metro train to work everyday, a journey of 3hrs hence my view. Abi how many hrs journery is Ilorin to Lagos.

I also witness man hrs wasted on Ikorodu road, while the inland water ways is under utilised. For instance we have pple living in Ijede when their place of work is VI.

Lagos to Ilorin is about 4 hours 30 minutes journey according to Google but don't forget this is Nigeria.I've heard some people say its over 10 hours by train.Its only in Nigeria I know a Car can be faster than a train God bless us

IlekeHD:


Please don't quote me when you talk about her.

*runs*

IlekeHD:


Interesting.

I understood 10% of what she's saying

Nice.

So her grandad used to be the king of Osogbo then. Cool.

Is Fagbenle also an Osun name?

Funjosh:



I joined the train sometime from lagos to Offa, we left Lagos 10am and got to Offa 3:45am the following day

superstar1:


Efunsetan. she was not a queen.

She was very mean because she did not have any child. She was very rich and powerful. She has many slaves and she was always maltreating them. She was the Iyalode. More or less like the Leader of women.

Then, she was controlling the route between Eko and Ibadan. The egbas and ibadan always deal directly in trade through her. she was an agent/middleman. She usually takes a certain percentage from both sides.

She was bold, confident and very intelligent. I do not know whether she wwas pretty sha.lol

Funjosh:



Am talking about the Akoko of Ondo state

ProfShymex:


I think you have to blame Nigeria for that. The Itsekiri one is the funniest one, especially when they speak Yoruba and they still have clan that're proper Ijebu waterside clans. Heck, their history shows that they're Yoruba. As for Akoko, I don't know much about them - so won't dabble into a topic I'm clueless about.

Then with Kwara - I think Yorubas need to allow Ilorin folks join the North. Those folks have nothing to offer Yorubas, not even resources. I don't even see the as Yorubas, to be honest.

Funjosh:

Does that certify the fact that its only in Nigeria that Cars are faster than trains

superstar1:


It is.,

Missy89:


Yes i know

Funjosh:



Yea you will still understand these ones. If you have travelled round most of the Yoruba town you will still pick 50-60 percent of what they speak.

But not the Akoko people
