hey naijacutee, ibim

nice to meet ya, where r ya

I just made a discovery today. There is a trace of Yoruba language in GREEK, LATIN, AND GERMAN languages

In Yoruba language, the word "ADE" is a noun and it means crown.
the verb "DE" means to wear on your head (e.g. HAT)
it also means to COVER


I don't know if my findings is true but I got it from this website "http://www.babynamesworld.com/search.php?tab=3&f_gender=2&f_start=ade&f_submit=1&asearch=1&browseby=1&x=30&y=8"

They lumped all African languages together but we know there are hundreds if not thousands of languages in Africa.

Fayola could mean:

Fi ayo la - Use joy to lick (lick what? )

Fi ayo la - Use joy to succeed OR Fi ayo la - Succeed happily

Fa yo ola - Crawl to draw out wealth/riches

But that is if it's Yoruba. Who knows if it's actually Swahili since the website says 'African' origin.
I remember I've once asked Medube the meaning of Fayola before but he didn't answer.

this is an ibo name, i love it

ota gburu agu>>>>>>he who kills a tiger

lol @ IAH

we should defn ask medube how he pronounces the name
