To debunk some fallacies raised by irredentists..

That the Aworis are an Edo-Yoruba group is of no argument. Yoruba and lagos historians all agree to this fact! In a research by the infamous R.O. Ajetunmobi,he stated that the name Awori is used for people of Edo yoruba origin

Please don’t rewrite history

If the proposed regions mean Yoruba claims over Akoko Edo, Okun, Itsekiri areas and all of Kwara, then we need to ask whether we are decentralising Nigeria or simply expanding the territories of the major ethnic groups?

Ethno-linguistic regions will shrink the political and economic space of minority groups while leaving the major three with disproportionate control.

I support regions created through negotiation between states, based on economic viability and mutual interests not ethnic claims. I also suggest that Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt should remain autonomous national economic territories.

Let regions compete, develop independently and remain within one Nigeria. Regionalisation should decentralise power, not facilitate ethnic expansion.

@Oton_0ritse @LakeSD_ABJ @King_Kuung What are you saying?! Do you have evidence for this ?

This is Ojah during one of their festival called Elimi festival.
In the video something is being repeated multiple times "erimi khe'nor" which is in our language, kindly interpret it in yoruba.

@akokoedotv Make them come see ooo… I hope say na another distraction Tinubu Dey do, cos Akoko Edo is going nowhere but I wish the others can speak up too

[AKOKOEDO TV @akokoedotv]

Akoko in Edo/Benin means gather/ gathering. Yes in this context it means community (the gathering of people). So Akoko Edo means the gathering of the Edo people #AkokoEdo #Edo #EdoPeople

Trying to be slick aren't you?

Uneme Aiyegunle was named as a result of the nearby aiyegunle town in akoko ondo more or less a reference point to the neighboring community samd with ayetoro, they have their own èdó names which the people still call them till date.
What you call uneme aiyegunle is actually uneme osu...

Ikiran Ile and oke aren't their name it's Ebune, ikiran was newly adopted and from all indications a reference to them by the Ondo traders...

And both uneme aiyegunle, aiyetoro, ikiran oke and Ile 'Ebune' all speak èdó language not yoruba....
--- uneme dialect is even 70% edo spoken in Benin.

[𝐄𝐃𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐂__ @Edocentric_]

Akoko èdó a unitary term used in referring to a group of segmented edoid group in the north western èdó region. This part remains one of the most dialectical segment territory occupied mainly by èdó speakers.

Are Akoko ɛdo yorubiod or part of the larger yoruba ethnic group ?

- Based on the willink parliamentary report,c.1958 it's noted that the akoko edo people are collection of tribes that though they might speak yoruba as an influencing language are not yorubas or yoruba speaking people, each tribe or group within the akoko èdó territory have their own dialect which is under the èdóid language... 'frame1'

The term Akoko Èdó is however derived from two èdó words → Akókó èdó →
akókó (rt) - kó ~ to gather.
A double kókó acting as an intensifying factor, before it eventually turns into a noun → Akókó - the act of gathering segmented part together
Èdó - the èdó tribe..
-→ Akókó èdó - a gathering of clusters of èdó speaking people.

There are also Igarra people in the territory who speak an Ethnographic dialect, the only none èdó group in the region.

`,Thomas Northcote Anthropology Research 1909-1913 also shed more lights on the èdó speakers and their reach, based on his map entirely on the èdó groups.
Areas like Isua, Epinmi, Ipele in akoko Ondo were once part of the larger edo areas in the region, hence this areas were and still entered as èdó speaking group in Ondo state.

',In R.E Bradbury Benin Kingdom and the Edo speaking people,c.1957
The following fact was stated, Akókó èdó people are an èdó speaking group, very different from the akoko ondo, to further tell them apart he opted to use the term 'North western edo' instead of just akoko edo.
- he also noted 28 autonomous edo group makes up the èdó speaking group in akoko èdó with igarra being the only exclusion.

Every documents that ever left Akókó Èdó recorded as èdó speaking group, it's high time we left gnorance and learn, Akókó Èdó are not yoruba or a yorubiod speaking group.
