Akua Yoruba is a second language here.
Its seven constituents are small village groups or villages in three parts: Ukwugu, Idumogo and Uburubu, which a Yoruba named Orogbuda is said to have founded; and Oburukpa, from Ezechima.
Oburukpa is the same village attached to Ezechima, entry 12, so the two entries overlap at this point. The people of Odiani are also said to speak the Akua Yoruba dialect as a second language.
