Obiagu1:

@ the bolded

I now understand why Yorubas are cowards and bitchy. No wonder.

Andre Uweh:

Boy, you got it wrong. Ndigbo are not claiming Delta state and Never. The point is that there is Igbo in 9 LGA's of Delta state. You guys are the ones who are even claiming Kwara state, a state that has Nupes, Fulanis etc. This is a fact you can not deny.

semasir:

@Tewmuch:

that's investigatory of you. I find it good when we share common thoughts on the positives though to enlighten ourselves.
I guess you meant LTV and not the NTA?

TewMuch:

It must really really suck to be Igbo. Chai! See you in pain after learning the truth.

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.

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.

"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?

Abagworo:

All the people on your list are from Oshimili and Aniocha.The Igbo denial only exists partly in the Ukwuani and Ika area.

ezeagu:

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.

Abagworo:

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.

@Ezeagu: never will the Eguns drop their language for Yoruba or viz-a-viz.

@Ezeagu: never will the Eguns drop their language for Yoruba or viz-a-viz.

ezeagu:

So what are they dropping their language for?

PhysicsMHD:

The Egun seem to be a subgroup of the Yoruba.

Yes of course.

jason123:

ROMFLMAO!!!!!! Baba Egun!!!
Keep deceiving yourselves . . . . .  "Egun man"

semasir:

@Ezeagu: for nothing. They'll keep to the language or do you personally intend dropping your language for anything?

@Isinweke: that's just it, I'm proudly an Egun boy and had never denied it once even when the odds are low. It'd be better if Egun indigenes bear their local names, mine is Semasa as well and I cherish it so much.

@Afam4eva: yes it is but that does not mean Yoruba names must overwhelm Egun names. Have you seen a Chinese bearing others name?

ogoplus:


Please @semasir...what is the meaning of Semasa (your name).
Thanks...

semasir:
Semasa can be implied as Gift- it means what the creator give or in a longer version = OSEMASAMEPEPEMAGANHO i.e. What the creator didn't sell, no one can buy it (literally)

ogoplus:


Thanks

semasir:
You're most welcome..... Wondering why you're so interested in the name though

ogoplus:


I have very strong links with Badary na.....

Olapresh:
Hey guys. Please what's the meaning of 'wo bia no we, o to Jehovah she, ye ni je e to ni gon pa' ... its a song in your dialect. Thanks
