Sunshineg5:
So which local government did they control in Lagos and Ogun coastal areas?

hammerP:



Answer the question, who in Lagos is actually Yoruba?

Sunshineg5:
Epe is owned by Ijaws and Egun

Ibeju is owned by Ijaws and Eguns

Even Lekki peninsula is owned by ijaw and Egun

It just so happen that all this areas have Yoruba kings and not a single ijaw or Egun king

In addition, ijebu water side in Ogun state and Ilaje local government area in Ondo is being owned by Ijaws and Eguns

Afriifa:
Wait oooh bro... you mean to say the man that sang that song is from Ondo state?

hammerP:


Ahhh!

The Awori people are from Bini originally.

They own the main parts of Lagos.


Again, i ask you, who in Lagos is Yoruba?

Sammy07:


Afriifa, here's an Ilaje man.
He'll tell you the pure truth

Tunde835, Pls, as an Ilaje man.
What do you think of the Ijaws living in Ondo.
Are some of them Yorubanized or not

Sunshineg5:
You see your problem

Awori came straight from Ife and founded towns in Ogun state like Sango Ota as well

There are three Yoruba groups in Lagos together with the Eguns

Ijebu: Epe, ibeju and Ikorodu

ilajes : Majority of the areas around the water bodies

Awori: Majority of Island and Mainland including parts of Badagry

Egun: Badagry


You better stop listening to Radio Biafra, it is damaging your ability to think

Afriifa:
despite your rumblings and forcely classifying them as yorubas, the undeniable facts still remains that they are Ijaw and that can never change even with your yorubanized mission. about names and dressing, oga don't deceive yourself. if you're closer to the Ijaws, you would know that Ijaws are not tribalistic with name-given. even in Nigeria, we are the only tribe with most foreign names. They can give any name that pleases them, it has nothing to do with being converted or that. in Rivers, we have Ijaws bearing Igboic names. that does not mean dey av been igbonized. see there is one prominent man called Barister Ajuwa in Ondo state, He's seemingly bearing a Yoruba name, but he speaks Ijaw eloquently than most ijaws in Delta state. Karinto is an Ijaw High life Musician from Ondo state, I have heard so many of his songs, and I can tell you, nothing is missing as Ijaw in them. oh as for the names, I forgot, even my Surname 'Afrifa' is not an Ijaw name but a Ghanaian name. I'm bearing it in all my documents. does that make me a ghanian? about the dressings, ask Tacha who is Ijaw but dresses like Ibo. ooh too far, ask Aunty Bisola who bears Yoruba name but Ijaw.

Sunshineg5:
This is not true bruv

The water areas of Lagos to Warri is inhabited by Ilaje and Ijebu clans

Hence, even in the history of Ishekiris they mentioned that they were originally ijebu and Ilaje communities who were rulled by a Bini prince.

Ode.
You don't know my state more than myself.
Deputy Governor of Ondo state is Hon (Barr) Ajayi Agboola Alfred. He married an Ondo girl. He's from Kiribo in Ese Odo local government.


Western Apoi tribe of the Ijaw people live in Ondo State, Nigeria. The tribe (also called Ijaw Apoi or Apoi) consists of nine settlements: Igbobini, Ojuala, Ikpoke, Inikorogha, Oboro, Shabomi, Igbotu, Kiribo and Gbekebo. The Apoi inhabited higher ground than most of the other Ijaw tribes. They speak the Yoruba language as they no longer speak the Ijaw language . They are bordered to the north by the Ikale and to the west by the Ilaje. The clan also shares border with the Arogbo Ijaw to the south and the Furupagha Ijaw to the east across the Siloko River.


What's your next statement
I told you earlier that they have been Yorubanized.
Go and speak Ijaw to him if he'll understand

RuggedSniper:
Omoyele Sowore is also from Kiribo who are APOI. Oral history says the Apoi ancestors are originally from Ile Ife and settled in the Eastern Apoi after losing their way. So the Apoi of Ese Odo are returnee Ife descendants. Wikipedia.
