I was going to say Nupe, then Edo. But I can see you already have those, in that order, too.

Itsekiri is most closely related to Yoruba, If you are ijebu descendants you will understand Itsekiri people when they are speaking

I don't see where language is mentioned in the question. The world "culture" is not exclusive to "language"

Yup!

1] In addition, Itsekiri and Igala are
Yoruboid linguistically. The two
also have Yoruba ancestries.

The Attah of Igala HRM Michael
Oboni said in a 2017 Punch publication, that Igala evolved via migrants from Wukari in Taraba who moved along the River Benue
and got to the area around the confluence of the Niger and Benue Rivers where they met and fused with a significant number of Yoruba and Edo groups, and to a lesser extent the Ibo. He also said Ifa divination is made or consulted before anybody becomes an
Attah of Igala.

2] Fon (Fon is a fusion of Yoruba and Aja peoples) Fon, Nupe and Bariba were incorporated into the Oyo Empire and they paid tributes to
Oyo.

3] The Ewe are neighbors to the
Yoruba-speaking part of Togo or the Atakpame Region.
