Konquest: lol, to me Urhobo have always been cousins. Indomie generation are the most ignorant set of children in Nigeria's history. Their views are limited to the 1999 artificial geopolitical constructions of Nigeria. Before you say Pim, they will start shouting We are south-south, as if Ogoja man and Itsekiri man have anything in common. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Informative thread as usual. When the children of Ogiewen in a Yoruba colony up to today called Ile-Ibinu indirectly still refuse to accept their names in Yoruba of their ruling house, their Arts heavily influenced by Yoruba and their lingua franca in the palace in Yoruba; one has to wonder why every group surrounding them they claimed they influenced accept their Yoruba origin. Even anyone with a deep knowledge of history frawn on this obvious ignorance without getting involved. Anyway, this thread prove we have more in common than the desire of being the suzeriegn group. As for Lagos, it is still surprising that a portion of land where one house is built for the compromised king between Awori Ashipa and Oba Bini surrounded by many houses of other Awori in Isaleko has now become Bini influence in Lagos. Can anyone compare that one piece of land to Brazilian quarters, Sierra Leone (Saro) influence, Dahomey, Ghana and Engish influences on Awori the Idejo owner of Lagos from Eti Osa to Badagry into Dahomey? 1 Like 1 Share |

Rex123:^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^ @Rex123 I like your use of "Edodroid." [Edo Android]. Macof could not help being amused too... Okay... Itsekiris are Yoruboid and Edoid in terms of ancestry and culture. Before the arrival of Prince Ginuwa [his mother was from Ife] with 70 of his royal supporters from Benin after he had to go on exile because of a cultural violation, there were already Itsekiris of Yoruba ancestry of Ijebu, Ilaje and Ife origins in the Itsekiri region of Delta State. Prince Ginuwa [whose father was Oba Olua of Benin] arrived in Ode-Itsekiri in the 1480s and met Chief Lenuwa and his people of Ijebu origin who accepted and his entourage on learning he was of Royal origin from Benin. Prince Ginuwa eventually became the FIRST Olu of the Itsekiris. I must add that the Itsekiri language is similar to Yoruba dialects of the Eastern Yoruba regions [Ijebu, Ilaje], with Edo words and Portuguese loan words as well! Omadino is another Itsekiri community that was founded by Ijebus just like Ode-Itsekiri. The oil-rich Ugborodo [otherwise called Escravos] was founded over 500 years ago by Ilaje people who migrated eastward from Ugboland in Ondo State...which shares boundaries with Itsekiriland in Delta State. The popular "George fabric" was first used by the Itsekiris several centuries back because of their early contact with the Portuguese and other European explorers even before the Binis. I hope this information helps. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Itsekiri Modern history (Post 1480) starts from Ginuwa. Itsekiri primordial history starts from Yorubaland. 1 Like 1 Share |

scholes0:^^^^^ ^^^^^ Absolutely @Scholes0. I've corrected my post...1480s is Ginuwa's arrival in Itsekiriland. On the other hand, I saw a post of yours on the Akoko-Edo thread and Ibillo thread for the first time 2 days ago. I would like to know from you which one of the Akoka Edo towns have Yoruboid indigenes in them. Is Lampese one of the Yoruboid communities? I know that most Akoko Edo represent Edoid ancestry. A friend of mine in the University in Nigeria told me he wasn't Yoruba but Edo decades back... even though his name was Femi Ajakaiye. He was from Akoko Edo. It was interesting getting to learn his family history. He even spoke very fluent Yoruba. Thanks. 1 Like |

Itsikeri are Edo (Meaning: first class citizens of Benin Kingdom, like Urhobo or Anioma ...), they used to be politically aligned with the south-west. But it ends there. They are part of Benin Kingdom. You guys need to stop with all these stories. Stop confusing little children. Konquest: |

Y0ruba:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ @ Y0ruba Thanks for your brilliant summations. What is the English translation of "Age re ge?" Yoruba was derived from "Oyo Oba"... Please shed more light on the etymology of the name "Yoruba." Thank you! |

Konquest: Ikakumo, Ayanran, Aiyeteju, and Ago-Ogbodo In most of the others You will find some people saying Ife, You will find some saying Benin, while yet still you will find some saying they came from Ife, but via Benin after they had settled there for a while hence the language disconnection. Me right now, I am more personally interested in the truly Yoruba communities in Ovia North East and Ovia South West. 1 Like 1 Share

The Edo must be verry special for yoruba to be so obsessed about Edo. Everyday yoruba must try to claim one Edo group or an other, just keep trying to claim ! Very soon these yoruba will be trying to claim my children. I would really like to understand where this obsession comes from. Why don't you just try to claim egypt or mecca like you used to ? Why us ? scholes0: |

Konquest: Beadbury (1967) who did extensive research on the people of the area on the other hand, reported three sources of ancestry for the people there, Benin, Ife and Idah. It should be noted that the Ebira groups are the ones who used to claim to have come from Idah. These days, they still mention Idah but only as a stopover location from their true origins among the Kororofa. 1 Like 1 Share |

Konquest: The Ebiras used to be ruled by a figure called the Atta of Ebira before, they not too long ago changed it to Ohinoyi. Political enmity between them and the Igala have increased their differences. Funnily enough the languages both groups speak have nothing to do with Jukun. Ebira has about 30% cognate similarity with Nupe, Gade and Gbagyi , While Igala has about 65% cognition with Yoruba-Itsekiri. As for the Akoko-Edos Here is your confirmation as to my earlier point which I made years ago in the other thread. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

scholes0:^^^^^^ ^^^^^^ WOW! Akoko Edo axis reminds me of the history of Anioma region [Delta North] that has Edoid, Yoruboid [Olukumi], Igala, and Eastern Ibo immigration. |
Re: Yoruba Names By Region by scholes0(m): 1:07am On Feb 11, 2018 |
Konquest: Yes. Egbeta is one os such communities. Usen is another one. Their original migratory stock is at Okelusen in Ondo state which is at an higher elevation (hence the name). One thing about me is I always talk only about things I know about. If I want to contribute in a topic I am scant on, I make sure I do my research well. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Wow, you are not more educated than a 3 year old: The expression is WESTERN Igbo. "Eastern Igbo" is generally referred to as "Igbo". Olukumi are Edo not yoruba. And Anioma is synonymous to Western Igbo !!! And they are also Edo ! Konquest: |
Re: Yoruba Names By Region by Nobody: 1:10am On Feb 11, 2018 |
You can actually lose brain cells by just reading notes written by "yoruba". Shouldn't you yoruba rather be talking about your own people (on whom you don't know a single thing by the way) rather than venturing on other people on whom you know nothing as well. |
