Don't be stupid. Ijebu called themselves Omo ALARE, is Alare not a Yoruba word, is Ijebu not a Yoruba word?? By the way, all the people who are referred to as Yoruba, all came from Ile-Ife. They called themselves Omo Kootu Oojiire!
@adewilliams8, please, mind your language. Awujale said it many times that Ijebu - Ode were not Yoruba though some of his people disagreed with him. Please, let's be civil in our comments.
yoruba is not our name original name...yoruba is OYO name giving by fulanis ...we are omoluabi ,Edekiri or olukumi people ...but because of Oyo empire was so powerful ..ever body have to adopt their name especially where white people came ...every olukumi people were force to accept the name yoruba which is OYO name...ijebu were the last to accept that..there are still olukumi people that dont accept that... itsekiri people accept their olukumi people but they dont accept the name yoruba..what i want you to know is OYO is yoruba .....if ijebu was most powerful kingdom among olukumi/omoluabi/Edekiri people...white people would have force ijebu on everyone ...is like you go back home and they all your siblings have chnage your family name ..but you dont accept it .....we all came from ile ife
Omo Jebu Alare Ni Mi!! Awa ni Canaanites ni Ibible..Jebus to South Sudan to Jebu Original name of Jerusalem is Jebu..1 Samuel in bible...Canaan begotten the JEBUSITES..We are not Egyptians!!! Ham had four sons Cush, Put , Egypt and CANAAN who is father of AWA IJEBU Look at Genesis 2
Watch and see those same ‘slaves’ you’re so eager to distance yourself from will be Rulers over all in the end. Be mindful that your ego doesn’t lead to your shortcomings.
