Wikipedia description:
The Ìgbómìnà (; also colloquially Igboona or Ogboona) are an ethnic subgroup of the Yoruba people, which originates from the north central and southwest Nigeria. They speak a dialect called Ìgbómìnà or Igbonna, classified among the Central Yoruba of the three major Yoruba dialectical areas. The Ìgbómìnà spread across what is now southern Kwara State and northern Osun State, in an area collectively referred to as Igbominaland. Peripheral areas of the dialectical region have some similarities to the adjoining Ekiti, Ijesha, Yagba, and Oyo dialects.
