OROSUNBOLB:Itshekiris are not Yoruba. They have given themselves another identity. Please dont bring insult to us. Let itshekiri stay on their own. We need them not! |

AkinPhysicist:This is what every Yoruba must accept. Itshekiris dont see themselves as Yorubas. Infavt some dont like us. They will only claim Yoruba when they have quarrel with other Niger-delta tribes. Let them stay on their own jor 10 Likes 1 Share |

OAUTemitayo:Ok bro no problem, but itshekiris should not be called Yorubas sha. They have a separate identity and they should be respected like that. When Nigeria splits, they can join Niger-delta republic 9 Likes 1 Share |

Deedeedee3: Se ibi bayi lo ye ko ma ko gbogbo eleyi? Are you the one to decide on who is/isn't Yoruba? At the end of the day, if they decide to come with Yorubas, what's the worst that could happen? Itshekiris are preferable to the chestbeating foreigners we currently have on Yoruba soil. 9 Likes |

kn23h:To be sincere with you bro, ko ni da ti won ba join wa. They have given themselves another identity. There is simply no way they wont complain of being marginalized. This might hinder is from progressing. Besides, not all of them are directly from Yoruba; some descend from benin people. That will not be good for the new nation you know. 1 Like |

Naijareward:No boss. We cant use one language. Let Igbos form a country and use their native language as their official lanugauge. Yorubas and Hausas should also do same. It is better like this. We are not united and can never be because we were forced into one country by the British govenment. Nigeria was not formed by us 8 Likes 1 Share |

OP - someone mentioned that there is also some Portuguese influence. Could you please identify some of those words? I know that there are Portuguese influence with a few other languages in ND. Also do you have the names of the traditional gods of the Itshekiri people? This would be very enlightening. |

onuwaje: Chai! Waje, thanks for this thread. I see Yoruba & Edoid languages (Benin/Urhobo/Isoko/Esan, etc) blended nicely. Kokodia is an ancient Benin name for Coconut, a term only used by elderly people or babalawo now. By the way Itsekiri closely resembles dialects spoken in some parts of Ovia LGAs in Edo State: Usen, Egbeta, Ogbese, etc. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Can you guys stop talking politics, let's celebrate our brothers from the other side of the divide, the itshekiri tribe has shown us the extent and influence of the Yoruba race,we even have Yorubas in benin, Togo and Ghana, are they lesser Yoruba if they are given other identity by the whites or other africans, even the Yoruba tag is an identity that separates us from a larger pool of homogeneous people. Another tribe in Nigeria similar to Yoruba after itsekiri is Igala. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Yes. I have always been of the opinion that in the case of break up, the Itshekiris will do very well in a Niger-Delta Republic. The effective/mature manner the Warri crisis was eventually handled is testament to the fact the Ijaws, Urhobos and Itshekiris can work very well together IF they choose to. Although, the Ijaws might be reluctant to form a country with Bini/Edo, I think eventually both will reliance that it is in their best interest to be in the SAME country. 2 Likes 1 Share |
