FisifunKododada: lolx.. you really haven't listen to an itsekiri man speaking, those from ondo can understand him clearly, the olukumis only bear Yoruba name, they ain't yoruboid believe me, they are more igbo. 1 Like |

Efewestern:Again not true. The language called Olukunmi is a Yoruba language NOT Igbo. Yes, I have heard that some Olukunmis now see themselves as Igbos. 7 Likes |

Efewestern: No it doesn't. Read up on the Olukumis. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/the-history-of-the-olukumi-people-in-nigeria Surrounded by predominantly Ibo-speaking tribes, they speak a variant of the Yoruba language, which surprising is yet to be subsumed by those of their dominant neighbours. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Efewestern:True. I've met one. Her dad Olukunmi, her mom Igbo. They all bear Yoruba names tho. But they neither see themselves as Yoruba or Igbo, she sees herself as a Deltan or Olukunmi girl, but she's more inclined and closer to her Igbo side than Yoruba. She understands the Igbo language. Maybe because her mom is Igbo from Imo. She also told me most Olukunmi men love marrying Igbo. I.e her Dad |
