The Oworo ethnic nationality represents a group of people around the Niger-Benue confluence speaking a Yoruba dialect called Oworo. They are generally classified as part of Northeast Yoruba(NEY) of the Yoruba race.〔Bayo Ijagbemi "O-OKUN YORUBA IN YORUBA ART HISTORIOGRAPHY: HISTORY, PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS".PhD Thesis. The University of Arizona〕 == Origin== The origin of the Oworo people by oral tradition is linked to three brothers who left Ile-Ife to hunt around the present day Oworo Land. The successful adventure caused them to name the place 'owo mi ro' which means 'my hands are full of blessings'. Another Legend called "Ako", meaning "we met", says that people came form several locations to converge on the present day Oworo land. This legend accommodates the group(clans) of Oworo that claim not to be of Yoruba decent〔, Orungbami T.S. "Oworo People of the Niger-Benue Confluence Area" JHL Nig.Ltd, Lokoja, Nigeria.〕〔Funso Afolayan. ( "Yoruba state(other than Ife and Oyo)" ), 24the July 2015, Retrieved 13th of October 2015.〕 Ade Obayemi however opined that the Okun people( the Northeast Yoruba people including Abinu(Bunu), Owe, Ijumu, Ikiri, Iyagba and Oworo located in Kogi State did not migrate from Ile-Ife but are aboriginals in the Niger-Benue Confluence.〔("The History of Okun Yoruba: Research Direction" ), Yorùbá Identity and Power Politics , Editors: Toyin Falola, Ann Genova, Volume: 22, Publishers: Boydell & Brewer, University of Rochester Press (February 2006) Page 111-126〕 Europeans, like Temple O. , who made early contact and wrote about the Oworo people referred to them as Aworo. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oworo people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
