During the Ishekiri vs ijaw crisis in warri between 1997 to 2003,the ishekiris where almost decimated by the ijaw militias,guess what,the Yorubas never rendered a helping hand to their dying so called 'brothers',even at a time the ijaw in Ondo and other places in the riverine areas of south west almost wanted to move in to the hinterlands of southwest as occupational forces,thanks to Obasanjo that used federal might to stop them.
So of what benefits will they yorubas ever be to the Ishekiris.

You want cowards to help who?
People that die several times before the real death.
I meant some yorubas like illicit and helinues, not all, some are great people.

Its the Itsekiri that are going back to their roots? And not what we commonly see with one tribe (Igbo) that try to force others into them

So you believe Igbos are impoxing themselves on other people but you are not doing same?

This how they have been forcing Yoruba on other tribes in south west.


Many times Aworis tribe, the real owners of Lagos have said they are not Yorubas,yet Yorubas Keep claiming Lagos to the level that none of them identify with their five Yoruba states again.




Everyone from five Yoruba states is now a lagosian grin grin

Oga stop claiming what you are not. I have told you that your use of "Okwa Ya" clearly shows you are not from the east. Own your tribe with all sincerity and stop claiming to be what you are not. Nwokem Gbara ogu gi nwuor!

Interesting.

You're guilty of cybercrime and posting of false information about other tribes. FG suppose use you as deterrent.
Awori mean Awon ti ri (dish sank). A Yoruba word. All their ancestors pointed to Ile-Ife in Osun State. All their culture is of Yorubas. The name of the person in the post you shared is Okunnu, a Yoruba name.
Some of us non Yorubas are aware of Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo and other tribe's history and won't let fifth columnists like you to bring chaos to Nigeria.
Anuofi a waste of seme n.

You're pained that Ikwerre people will never visit any obi or eze of wherever to declare that they are igbos. Itshekiri king led his people to visit Ooni to confirm Ile-Ife as their source. Now, their high chiefs just visited Alaafin to pay homage and confirm their Yorubaness. It really pained you to the bone marrow.

Nonsense!

That was how they tried to include my people as Yorubas in the past. Thank God for our historians who debunked that baseless fairy tale. Itshekiri is Itshekiri, and Yoruba is Yoruba.

Every tribe, irrespective of size, has the right to exist without being coerced to accept another tribe.
ITSHEKIRI means AWA ISHE KIRI. You people hail from Ijebu-Waterside many centuries ago.

Your language is largely old ANAGO language but have been influenced to some extent by other rival settlers from other Tribes that is why OmoWumi is spelt OmAwumi AwaIsheka language which is yours.

The Olu of Wori family and every true Omo Away ISHE KIRI knows that THE ARE FROM IJEBU-WATERSIDE.

You people get problem , people came all the way to Oyo and claim they are yoruba you are here shouting that yoruba are forcing people , yourba don't need to force anybody because we are never a minority that is fighting for existence. Even yoruba in Brazil, Cuba , Trinidad and Tobago, El Salvador, Togo , benin Republic, Ghana etc are still trying to claim their yoruba ancestry. When are certain tribe in Edo declared that they are of Igbo origin you people are here celebrating but now it is an issue because itsekiri people are laying claim to their yoruba origin.

Yes and I strongly believe the Benin royalty was infiltrated by Yorubas after the Ogiso dynasty and they brought in their Oba system. A lot of lies have been buried and I used to fight Yorubas for saying these but in recent times I believe they are right. The truth is coming out in bits though the battle is still on going between the Oba of Benin (descendants of Oranmiyan) and the Ogiamen royal family (the direct descendants of The Ogiso's) I believe they lost the rights to the throne during the battle of Ekiokpagha. You can research on it though.

Baseless analogy: I guess Aussies are equally Germans because of language proximity.

In all, your analogy only says that Yoruba, Igbo, Anioma, etc. are the same people since they are all from the same sub KWA language.

Please stay focused. No south south tribe has an Yoruba ancestry. The closest would have been my Bini tribe but scholarly expertise proved otherwise.

Yoruba should rest; Itshekiri has every right to exist as a people.

You almost made sense until you mentioned my people of Igbanke ethnicity who sought to reconnect with their language brothers from the east. Let me remind this: they made the proclamation themselves and backed it up with a protest; many can see determination and resilience of their spirits. It is not one addict of a king calling Itshekiri Yoruba.

Itsekiri is yoruba but igbanka, ikwerre, not Igbo how?
