True! That includes them too. Those ethnic groups around the Niger-Benue area are close to the South.

yah, Benue-Kogi we are somehow culturally closer to the South. We wonder how we were ever grouped as northerners.

Oohh, how and where did he tell u that? Can u link me to the thread?
Many northern fanatics don't like us identifying as middlebelters buh that is really their problem if you ask me. Everyone knows that there is a big difference between the middlebelters and the core-northerners.
To you yourself, are we the same?

Holly Nigerian women have as much beauty and elegance to challenge any calibre of women from all over the world we have won the miss world if am not mistaking. yaaah i fink we have.
Nigerian/African men on the other hand cannot match half of African American men in hotness and elegance. Nuh nuh nuh

I haven't seen too many hot African American men. Most are cringey. The community also has an obesity problem they don't wantto admit.
Would chose Nigeria over AA any day. Upon all that stress Nigerian men still manage to look good.
Yes, our miss world looking age less

It was a post. She was originally claiming all Southerners hate them and their religion. I pointed out middle best people are trying, and she said there is no middle belt. Of course they don't, it will make their numbers less. No, you guys aren't the same. Much kinda and smarter, and less violent, but I didn't say that

Marcelo290:
Objectively speaking, we can't be better in everything, both countries are developing at their own pace, when it comes to serenity of the environment, maintenance of structures, electricity, tourism...i give it to Kenya. when it comes to general industrialization, entertainment, civilization, Fashion, culture, influence e.t.c Nigeria leads.

About the health care, comm'on, Nigeria has more health care facilities when compared to Kenya, the problem is when relating it to the large population. The Kenyan government is actually trying, so I give you guys some credit..

Most of what you guys criticize us about, you are also guilty of, I thought our police force was worst, until I just watched a video which reiterated that Kenyan police is worse off, same goes with corruption...

Hahaha No o, it's not as of i come across only those who deny their ethnicity. I have also come across many others from these places who are proud of their ethnicity. I am only stating the exceptions because they are exceptions.

About Ilorin, yes, yorubas from other yoruba states form the highest immigrant populations there, so of course, complete cultural yorubanization of the city is around the corner.

I went to Covenant university on my bros convocation and another bro of mine who went with me and travels to Benin republic a lot as a car dealer decided to take us to the border (Idiroko) and we decided to cross over the boundary into Benin to buy some stuffs (cos apparently they are cheaper). That was how i met the so called Ajashe speaking woman.
Are you familiar with that boundary town in Benin republic? If yes, is it occupied by the Ajashes, Eguns or other yoruba groups?

Cool, so you schooled in Ogun state? Yes I'm familiar with Idiroko. The area is a tripoint of 3 Yoruba subgroups: Awori, Yewa(Egbado) and Nago. Idiroko is in Ipokia lga and it's a Yoruba town of Nago subgroup. Idiroko literally translate to beneath the tree.

Those Ilajes i was talking abt, i met them in Warri, and they could not speak central yoruba, except Ilaje and when i heard them speaking at first, i was confused what language that was because i studied yoruba in secondary school and know it a little, the language did not sound like yoruba but i could still hear some few yoruba words in it. And after asking them, they told me that what they are speaking is Ilaje and not yoruba and that they are not yorubas.

Actually Ilaje is very Yoruba, the reason why it sounds odd to you is because some of the words are a little different, but mainly the fact that it's spoken in a different intonation. It's a strange experience if you are not familiar. Some letters and sounds that are absent/simplified in general Yoruba are found in Ilaje like gh, kw, gw, kh, rh, en etc. The word for mouth in Yoruba is "enu" and "erhu" in Ilaje. Ilaje dialect like may other Eastern Yoruba dialects is closer to the original/ancient Yoruba. Standard Yoruba was based on an simpler dialects like Oyo and further simplified to make it easier for everybody to learn.

I think the issues there was that they wanted to emphasize on how different their language was from Central yoruba cos i was emphasizing that their language is a yoruba dialect. It may be ignorance on their own part.

Maybe it's due to confusion, but in reality no one, except for Oyo/Ibadan peeps speak "Yoruba" natively. Even their Yoruba is slightly different from the Standard Yoruba. The vast majority of Yorubas like 90% have their own distinct dialects. Majority of Ilajes are fine being Yoruba. Some Ugbos of Ilaje would even claim they are the original Yoruba hence the Olugbo's controversial statements.

Some people do not understand the concept of an ethnic group and dialects of an ethnic group. Most of these people i am referring to have never lived in yoruba hinterland and maybe the reason they have not understood that yoruba itself is a language cluster of many dialects, they feel anyone who is yoruba must speak the general known yoruba and they themselves do not speak it.
This is exactly the case with many Itsekiris. If central yoruba had penetrated Itsekiri land, they would have had no issue claiming yoruba identity.

One of the claim some Itsekiri like to use to counter the claim that they are Yoruba is that their throne is from Benin because Ginuwa, their first king was sent from Benin. Yorubas use origin of ife throne to unite, even Akoko people use Ife Obaship throne. Itsekiri use Benin's. Language is definitely a unifying factor, but it's not the only.

And that Ilorin gal, yes she was mixed, it's obvious, she's from the Bello family and their people intermarried hausa-fulanis a lot, she even speaks hausa. Those from the rich and aristocratic ruling emirate families of Ilorin are the ones who promote fulani and arewa identity mostly.

Many of the Ilorin families you find in the north will tell you they are proudly arewa. I understand this, it's probably just to fit into where they find themselves. Of they have been born and bred in Lagos or Ibadan, i bet they would have claimed omo yoruba.

That explains it then, she's mixed otherwise she wouldn't be claiming Fulani and Yoruba. It's not rocket science. No Yoruba would ever claim Fulani just for "prestige" unless he or she has Fulani blood flowing in his/her veins. Yorubas just recognize Fulani as a different ethnic group. You can ignore your maternal side all you want. Personally for me, you are no longer Yoruba the moment you start claiming something else. A Yoruba adage goes "Odo to ba gbagbe orisun re a gbe" meaning a river that forgets its origin, will surely dry up.

Have you ever lived in any northern city? Like Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Zaria?

Na, I've actually never lived in any of those cities. I've been to many parts of the North though.

Same, it's called politics and visionless British people. Culturally they are closer to the South and those states sit below the Niger-Benue rivers. Kwara, Benue, and Kogi state are all culturally South.

sebi Evander Holyfield was in Lagos about 3-4 days ago, why don't u fight him?

vaxx:
you are twisting the angle again. in ghana public school are also subsidized. no public universities is paying more than 700 cedis in a section. Govt heavily subisidized it. Yet govt still offer loan to student who are not eligible to pay the low fees or student of private uni who pay up to 2000cedis per semester

and those students will struggle hard to pay d loans after graduation abi?
