Obiagu1: It must really really suck to be Igbo. Chai! See you in pain after learning the truth. Andre Uweh: Yoruba's are claiming Kwara? rotflmao. Kwara IS YORUBA! FACT! Yoruba Empire went all the way to Abuja, there are some people in Abuja towns that go by Yoruba names. Dont kill yourself oh. semasir: Anyway back to sane people, I am trying to educate you on what has been lost in translation and what you dont know. So that elements like the Obiagu whose culture makes them talk like wild animals will not deceive you. i meant LTV8, sorry about that and i never claim what i dont know. Yoruba go waaaay back and always proud to identify ourselves as Yoruba. This actually disproves the fact that Yoruba is an European/hausa concoction. The group Yoruba has been known as Yoruba forever. And yes we know our history and people very very well. We dont claim people that are not ours, never have and never will. Maybe Egun lost their history over the years. But we have seen them ask the Alaafin for clarification on if they are "Anago" and foreigner's as some elements in Ogun wanted to use as an excuse to take over their lands. So you see, there is more than kinship and blood. In Ghana Yoruba have over 50 villages, but they do not speak OUR Yoruba or bear our Yoruba names. http://www.worldlingo.com/ma/dewiki/en/Tabom_People "Accordingly, the Egun Concerned Group strongly disagreed with the attempt to derisively referred to them as Anago which the Egun said there is no where in the history of Yoruba land some sections were called Anagos. While making reference to their fact finding mission to Oyo Alaafin during the Alaafin of Oyo's birthday in 2006 and 2008 to find out if there was any tribe bearing Anago in Yoruba History and that the Alaafin denied it." Why will they ask the Alaafin about their history? http://www.compassnewspaper.com/NG/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47845:egun-faults-bodys-claim-on-ogun-community-&catid=42:commune&Itemid=796 |

Abagworo: The person said "Delta people". The Igbo denial is found in Onicha, talkless of (the rest of) Aniocha. There were (I don't know if there still are) Onicha traders calling others Igbo to separate themselves from them. It's only recently that the Aniocha have 'come back under the fold' of Igbo, and the same is happening for Ika, and silently for the Ikwerre and other groups as Nigeria tightens up. |

ezeagu: Igbos actually call other Igbos names and it is no way peculiar to Onitsha.We call other Igbos Igbo and we are still Igbo.Owerri people call other Igbos Isuama,Ngwa call other Igbos Ohuhu,Ikwerre call other Igbos Isoama. What I meant was denial of Igbo and not what we call other Igbos. |

Abagworo: That's what I said, there were Onicha people calling others Igbo, but not themselves. So they will say there are Igbo traders in this market and we Onicha traders who are not Igbo. There were people among the Aniocha that denied being Igbo as well, but what the person I was replying to said was that the "Delta Igbos violently" deny being Igbo, which includes the Aniocha. |

@Uweh: everybody has got the right to protect his/her possession and identity. They- as well as Badagrians or any other Ogu speaking community learn to inculcate the habit of preserving this culture thru which the parents and elders teach their young ones. |

Are Egun people dumping the language for Yoruba? |
Re: Our Language Is Going Dead- A Case Study Of The Ogu (egun) Language Of Badagry by semasir: 10:47pm On Feb 26, 2011 |
@Ezeagu: never will the Eguns drop their language for Yoruba or viz-a-viz. |

The Egun seem to be a subgroup of the Yoruba. |

@Jason123, what do u mean by the poster deceiving himself? I need you to clarify this before I comment on it. |

semasir: You're the one who said the language is going dead. So people must be speaking something else, or are you saying the Egun people aren't reproducing? |

tyrant11: @tyrant11: your response shows how uncivilized you are! Endeavor to be cultured in your manner of approach to whatever trend you see and I wonder how clean you are to taunt others and potray them in bad light over a section of a group who aren't all from Badagry but the Rep. of Benin. Get your facts and figures right. 1 Like |
