now should we leave our own land because state come carry it name cover us?

PHijo:


It didn't pain me. If you had sense you would know that your Yoruba homeland has fallen irredeemably. As a matter of fact people like us a very happy that the Owu man fulfilled his destiny.

NaijirianKing:
The state has multiple tribes, and it is unfair to classify all of them as Yoruba when they are not. This is part of the problem of the country. All must be respected in such a multi tribal state. No domination or imposition, you can't complain of Fulani domination of your forests and then try the same on another tribe. Respect is paramount for peace.

tplayer:



But an Apoi, according to your history, is basically yoruba, since you migrated from Ife to present day Bayelsa, then to present day Ondo state? Am I correct?

NaijirianKing:
Ijaw are 12% to 16.6%

Shut up ijaws migrated to ondo state 200 years ago and ilaje owns the oil in ondo state not ijaw

nencounter10:


Apois are yorubas because they speak a dialect of yoruba language but are of Ijaw descent. No, they migrated from Bayelsa to Ife and from Ife to the now ondo state. They never returned to Bayelsa .

theFilmtric:

yes obviously
Even Ogun has discovered commercial quantities

Givaxy:

All those you're calling are dialects of Yoruba not multiple tribes as you claim

Givaxy:

They are 1% in ondo state

Yorubas are indigenous to 10 states in nigeria and spoken in 18 states in nigeria

It's a minority protest. It's social not security risk so let them be. It's ONDO STATE not BABYLON.

Which part of Akoko are you from?

There are so many dialects in the Akoko region of Ondo state, the majority are eastern Yoruba dialects.

Most people always mixed up with being Yoruba to speaking Oyo dialects. Oyo dialects is a northern Yoruba language and it's was adopted as a standard Yoruba dialect.

I know this because my father is from Ikare and my mother from Ilorin.
The Ikare dialect which is the largest dialect in Akoko Ondo overlaps with the standard Yoruba with more than 80%, I know this because I speak both languages.

The only influence in much of Akoko apart from the OYO we're the Nupes, Owo and Ibadan. Though, there are groups that speak an Edoid language in Akoko Ondo, but they now have been Yorubanized.

Finally, the Standard Yoruba dialect is being spoken as a second language or first language by all Akoko Ondos.

Another big lie!!
Yorubas are indigenous to only 7 states and it's spoken in that 7 states
Ibos are indigenous to only 7 states and it's spoken in 6 states.
Ijaws are indigenous to 8 states and it's spoken in 10 states.
Hausas are indigenous to 14 states and it's spoken in 36 states!!!!

zinizta:
...I just don't want to look aggressive by saying Akoko is Yoruba because the Benins have close affiliations with the Yorubas (note that I said Benins not Eshans)

Did you grow up in Ondo state? Cos I have friends that come from that area but it is whatever I am just saying.
.

Ever since someone non Yoruba told me that Ekiti are not Yorubas. I have been wary.lmao..
.
The way the Itshekiris and Igalas have that common or similar Yoruba like construct of language... You can't tell Yoruba by just listening....e.g The Ijebus.. you won't hear a word �

Ijaws are in rivers and bayelsa only
Yoruba are indigenous to 10 states and spoken in 20 states

u must be one of indomie generation. or u have been brain damaged by cownu.. we sold u to all over the europe.. we remain ur lord.

NaijirianKing:
So now Ijaw is a Yoruba dialect??

All tribes languages should be used, or English remains the language for all official state functions, so as to not leave any tribe behind.

Givaxy:

Are you senseless. Ilajes are Yoruba. Ilaje is the only oil producing area and they are yoruba
