    There have been many misconceptions regarding the cultural identity of the Okun people. This is a result of inadequate historical documentation of the Okun people.
    Many people believe that the Okuns are not "true" Yoruba, and in some regions of Nigeria, particularly the North, they are seen as Northerners who have no ties to the "core" Yoruba in Southwestern Nigeria, Benin, and Togo.
    On the basis of languages and oral traditions, this video seeks to showcase the Yoruba ancestry of the Okun people.

I saw what looked like a Hausa masqurade, then the Igala influence from the OmoIgbo who uses the 4-piece kolanut for prayers. Then of course, the wooden gong which did not originate from the West!

      Without trying to sound like an expansionist, the original lands of ancient Yoruba/Oduduwa, streches far into the core north of the country....and outside present day Nigeria, deep into the reaches of Ivory Coast, parts of Ghana, SierraLeone & Liberia. But unfortunately, the involvement of the Europeans & most especially the illegal partitioning of the continent in 1884-1885, delinated and separated most of our people. No ancient empire in Africa today, retained its full size, as they were before the white man came. The breaking off was deliberate and systemic, to make it difficult for us to unite and return back to our former days of glory.

Quite unlike many novice and mediocre documentary makers in Nigeria today, the commentator here was very diligent as he allows the people to take control of the rendition of their history. This is professionalism at its peak which separates this producer from the pack of poorly trained documentary makers in Nigeria. Excellent editing, narration and very interactive. I hereby welcome this producer to the league of the best documentary film makers in the world as this by every yardstick meets international standard. My meagre support for you is to encourage you to take on more important subjects across the board. I wish you more corporate and personal success. Kudos!!!!!!

    My people are from kabba and they speak yagba. I haven't heard anyone speak the language in a long while since I only hear it when my dad speaks to his siblings. I didn't know okun is now a tittle !. Watching this made my day 😊. It's showcase the people with so much beauty that I'm proud to be a part of this tribe. Thanks for such a beautiful work.
    Ps. My favorite parts... the dialect and my best-loved local snack AADUN.👍

    • @MayowaBlades

      Yes you're right. They were commonly called Kabba people because the whole Okun part was put under the Kabba province of the British protectorate of Northern Nigeria. I am happy you enjoyed it.

    This people are part of Yorubas people, it was the politics system of Regional/Territorial division that's causing this kinds of confusion among our people. However', someo of u my Nija people mostly from outside Yoruba Tribe or Region are so ignorant & are unbelievably lack of critical knowledge when it comes to the internal Affairs of our own Dear Nation Nigeria, or when it concerns the certain people, tribes or Ethnic, & even of course, their territorial boundaries.
    So instead of us to do the thoroughly searching b4 we start to uploading or posting misleading rubish, no' we won't, but we always wanted to create separation among the people of the same lineage which is wrong & as well will be impossible. I want to thank u Mr Mayowa Blades for this post that's not only shows that this Okun people are part of Yoruba's people or Yorubas extension of which our Gov't were thru politically motivation & manipulation cut off from Yorubas Territorial Land then put them under newly created region by then in order to reduce & to destabilize the Yoruba's people, but also for the piece of little historical fact from the Royal Majesty himself just once again negated those political propagandas from some of our non Yorubas Nigerians out there.
    This piece of Documentary clip here will once again short down those gainsayer among our fellow Nigerians. May GOD OLODUMARE continue to help & bless us all; May GOD OLODUMARE continue to help & bless the Yoruba's people everywhere; May GOD OLODUMARE as well continue to help & bless all Nigerians including all our nigeria Ethnics everywhere both home or abroad, Amen.

I know I am going to enjoy it. Egbe gbisi naa! I appreciate the effort and thoughtfulness put into such production. I think the producer should also think of exploring and producing such work on other people group in Nigeria. I am from Irabon Oro ago, in Kwara State, not too far from the Okunland. Blessings.
