Reminds me of one of Ayinla Omowura's songs. I can't remember the name Ayinla Omowura used to throw jibes at bleaching women in his songs lol. The women of that era are still the ones we see today looking peeled Dem no learn anything. The desire to look beautiful overrides every other thing Aanu re lo se mi o Lo je ki n ba e damoran Aanu re lo se mi o Lo je ki n ba e damoran O ye ki o bi ibeji ko to bora o Ko to bora Aanu re lo se mi o Lo je ki n ba e damoran |

The Oriki of Daja is
Omo owe omo owe sekuseku
Omo akuko nla ko koje omiran ko
Omo amuda se opo ile omo oludaja okondosu
Omo arinkan ona meji aya
Omo ase apo duree omo arin pere sokan duree pere bi ila

Omo ogun riro, omo ogun airo
Omo Ogun mejeje n le ere
Aidifa ile ona agbede l'airo

There are 3 types of Oriki. Oriki oruko, Oriki idile and Oriki ilu
The first one is usually short, mostly special names your parents like to call you. Oriki idile is actually the oriki of your ancestry. Oriki ilu is the Oriki of your town
Oriki idile is usually a combination of both Oriki ilu and your family's name. There isn't much difference

Abeg Owe can go extinct jare it does not matter that much because the younger generation are switching from Owe dialect to another form of the language ( general Yoruba). Which is all well and good- at least to me sha. infact dialect levelling has to occur among all Yoruba subgroups. Owe is the dialect of Kabba town and environs. Olukumi on the other hand is very much worth it. because these are Original Yoruba villages switching to a conpletely different language (Igbo). Lailali they can't be lost jus laidat. |

I don't agree that all Yorubas have to speak the same dialect. Maybe it's just me sha, I feel like there is something beautiful in the diversity of dialects.  That's why I'm beginning to seriously fall in love with Ondo state lol. Maybe because I'm a big fan of diversity. As long as there is no bad blood between groups. But yeah....I agree with you on the olukumi one. Even though, I've always been quite pessimistic when it comes to "lost" groups . It's hard to tell where that loyalty lies. |

Baba oir differences have to be levelled out so that we become a monolithic group. it is all those seemingly 'small small' differnces in certain things, which to me and you are insignificant and just peripheral that some peole will take serious and tell you things like: "We Okun are not Yoruba, our language is similar to yoruba but we are not Yoruba... oya see, Yoruba call knife Obe, we call knife Uhin- shey you see". 😂 😂 Abi you think if Ijebus didn't give up most of their dialectal uniqueness for the greater Yoruba cause- the man from Oyo town would be able to communicate with us? 😏. Check out all those nation states in Europe telling people ohh we are French- ohhh all of Germany is German, ohh Italy for Italians and you will discover that a great deal of dialectal levelling and identity unification have taken place. They had to conquer their smallish internal differences first before they could set out to doninate the rest of the world. we have to start preparing for the possibility a Yoruba nation and a big part of that would have to do with minimizing the differences between us. we don't want another Awo vs Akintola playing out amongst us in future-- |

People that don't like you or don't want to be part of you will always create non-existent artificial differences. No ethnic group anywhere in the world is 100% United lol. Even in Lagos, some people are asking for Lagoon state, when we are talking about Odua republic  Trust me, you'll still see so many useless groups show their faces when this restructuring thing is close to being implemented. But I get your point sha |
