Igbomina Tribe

The Ìgbómìnà (also colloquially Igbonna or Ogbonna) are a tribe of the Yoruba people occupying the north-central portion of the Yoruba region of southwestern Nigeria. They speak a dialect also called Ìgbómìnà or Igbonna, classified among the Central Yoruba of the three major Yoruba dialectical areas. The Ìgbómìnà spread across what is now northern Osun State and eastern Kwara State. Peripheral areas of the dialectical region have some similarities to the adjoining Ekiti, Ijesha and Oyo dialects.

Famous quotes containing the word tribe:

    Poor and content is rich, and rich enough,
    But riches fineless is as poor as winter
    To him that ever fears he shall be poor.
    Good God, the souls of all my tribe defend
    From jealousy!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
