Lolz, that's why internet is free
Once you see Badagry people, just know they're Egu.
They've lived among the Yorubas for long.

That's why there's no much difference

Awori are in Badagry too, just as Egun are in Ipokia region of Ogun State too.

seunmsg:


If Aworis are not Yorubas, who are they?

If you know the meaning of Awori, you won’t be embarrassing yourself in this manner.

Aworis are Awori, not Yoruba

FACT

diadem10:


You dey ment.

My ilaje isn't Yoruba? Na ment? Awori, Ijebus and Egbas aren't Yorubas? na ment?

Meanwhile, the David hundeyin doesn't even know where he came from. One moment, he thinks he's from Ilorin. Another time, he's from Egu which he can't even pronounce right. Someone who seeks for attention by writing trash.. Always claiming nonsense just to seek for attention.

Hundeyin is a national hero. Put some respect to that name. Through him we now know that Tinubu is a drug Lord.

Ilajes are not Yorubas

FACT

IamAtikulate:

Aworis are Awori, not Yoruba

FACT

What is the meaning of AWORI? Why do Awori people call themselves Omo Olofin? Who is Olofin and where did he migrate from?

Femifasola:

See this one. I'm just an osun village boy who hasn't gone out of my state interested in knowing much about my region Nd how is that a crime

Where is your hometown in Osun?

Ekealterego:

You are right though. Yoruba was not the national name of people in the SW. The SW was not homogenous.

They were called Akus. These Aku or Oku comprises the Yoruba and some many other smaller tribes.

As for Egun, their language is not close or related to Yoruba. Their language is a Gun language. Related to Fon people from Benin Republic.

Where did the Egun of Badagry migrate from to Ouidah and which Tribes were their Ancestors?

What stupid national hero? Someone that seeks attention for living. He doesn't even know where he came from. One minute he claimed his father was from Kwara. Minutes later, he claims from Egu which he can't pronounce well. Na ment? Maybe that's why he's angry with his parents since his mum doesn't know where he came from.

Only a fool without brain believe the copy and paste trash David hundeyin writes. If you've got a brain, you would first engage it and ask why Tinubu wasn't arrested like everyone else caught with drug? If you've got a brain, you would know what an investment company means. If you've got a brain you would realise that Tinubu was only operating an investment company which is no different from microfinance banks where people invest their funds in. Of course some questionable people could have invested their money in it.

Of course their funds got traced to the banks and investment banks after these people were arrested. The money was eventually siezed. That was all. It's like calling a bank a drug dealer just because some questionable people saved their money in it. Na ment? Do you have a brain at all?

Well, I know David hundeyin is one of the most brainless people I have ever seen. Someone who doesn't even have a degree. Copy and paste blogger who seeks attention for living.

That being said, who says my own Ilaje isn't Yoruba? Una dey mad?

IamAtikulate:
There are also Ijaws

Ijebus

Egbas

Aworis

Ilajes

None of them are Yoruba

sowore is ijaw. Also add Benin people of Edo state.

Present Oba of Lagos is Benin...Edo decendants.

Many of the people of Eti osa local government migrated from Benin...Edo.

Hundeyin is Egun..his surname says it all... Djimon Hunsu? Compare the surname with Hundeyin and see the similarity....Hun is a god peculiar to the Eguns...I know so many Hundeyins the family is a popular one in Badagry!

You IPOBians are clowns walahi.

@Topic.

Discussing ethnicity, religion and sectional differences as much as Nigerians do daily, to even the most minute level, is actually a big indicator of how unsophisticated, unevolved and under-developed the minds of most Nigerians are.

You see how painful it is when you people claim Delta Igbos are not Igbos and at the same time say the 1965 coup is an Igbo coup.

We know Aworis are Yorubas, but we just want you guys to see how foolish your thinking about Delta Igbos are.

We will continue to push that narrative until Yorubas repent.

Aworis are Yorubas but Egun, Ilajes and Ijebu are not. They don't even share the same ancestry. They were only Yorubanised due to closeness to Oyo Empire.

FACT

Yeah, I forgot.

Even Idu Mota are not abroginal Binis.

Thanks for reminding me

Bro, Yorubas are the most religiously and ethnically tolerant and cohesive Nigerians to exist. You IPOBians should be learning from us, for your own good, not seeking to 'teach' us anything. This is why you guys are going backwards.

You remain obsessed with the wrong things while ignoring your deep and many problems that makes you perhaps the most troubled and ideologically 'restless' Nigerians existing today. Face your business and stop your obsessing over everything/everyone Yoruba.

Find out why Kenya is sanctioning Flutterwave. Tinubu wasn't arrested to the plea bargain.

It means whatever it means in Awori language. Oloku is Awori patron god which Yorubas adopted as their sea god.

Again, omo and Olofin are both original Awori words which Yorubas borrowed, just as they borrowed Oba from Bini which they now claim.

Keep deceiving yourself

Lol. Listen to yourself. It appears you've made it your business to know even the most minute details about the culture and ethnography of the Yoruba people and their s when you are actually Igbo.

How is this knowledge useful to you and why did you seek to gain the knowledge in the first place if not to try and 'weaponize' it as a tool of deceit for your sad and pathetic agenda against Yorubas you are obsessed with?

I am Yoruba and I know diddly squat about the sub-grouping and/or linkages of Igbo core ethnicity and affiliations. Nada. Not interested because it is useless information to me that does not add anything to my life.

That's how it should be for normal folks with real lives to live and real targets/goals to achieve.

In other words, Yorubas are allowed to think anything they like about Igbos but Igbos are not allowed to form their own opinion about Yorubas?



Igbos are more progressive than Yorubas in all indices, expect of course on NBS data.

Travel to Igbo villages and compare to yours and you will cry for your generation.

Nairaland Yorubas are something else. Most of Yorubas will tell you that what an Igboman will do for them, their own brothers will NEVER.

Some even go as far as saying that they will prefer to be Igbos instead of Yorubas.

Most of them prefer to do business and buy from Igbos and Northerners than from their brothers.

I love Yorubas because of some many things and their tolerance. But spreading lies against us is what Igbos will never allow.

How is your lies Delta Igbos useful to Yorubas?

Femifasola:
While growing up in osun which is my state of origin, I had thought the south west is entirely yoruba not knowing they're also Egun people in Ogun and lagos state which David Hundeyin belong to. Interesting to know.

It is new to you but we know too well. We have many tribes in between. Most of the Egun people bear Yoruba names because they have mixed like the Hausa-Fulani

IamAtikulate:

How is your lies Delta Igbos useful to Yorubas?

Bro, go and drag those you claim lie about Delta Igbos. A term I am only loosely familiar with because I don't care to delve deeper.

Those people, if indeed Yorubas, are the characters on your level. Not me. I am.about progressive thinking and solutions provisions.

I don't waste my time and thought on things that do not elevate my chances of increasing both.

You're clearly in pain and have many unresolved issues. You clearly have unrequited and unhealthy feelings towards Yorubas.

Nairaland is not the place to seek closure. Go and get professional mental care help.

christistruth01:

Egun or Ogu people didn't migrate to that place, that is their ancestral lands. If anything, they were pushed back during the Oyo empire expansion.
Egun or Ogu people are from the great Dahomey kingdom who defeated the Oyo Empire.

Due to their location, they are traditionally water people who engage in fishing, basket making etc.

You're the one crying. Obvious you're obsessed with the Yorubas and crave their validation.

Bruv, Egun is not a Yoruba or Yoruboid language in any single way. Egun is a fon language. with the dominance of Yoruba in the region it is only commonsense that they adopt some names or some filler words from Yoruba or even understand the language. Their native language is not in any single way, Yoruba. They are fon, which belongs to the Gbe language group.
