Pls can i have your email.

I patiently read this origin of the Yorubas and why they say Ile-Ife is the cradle of Yoruba civilization and can't stop shaking my head. Do Yoruba Christians and traditionalists alike believe in that staff about Olodumare and Obatala and what have you?

It actually makes for a good folklore, the type you say the Tortoise fell from a height and broke its shell or those about the hare running a race and what have you. Any attempt to add more value to this story amounts to nothing but insanity.

Thanks.uthor=ghostofsparta [post=33649089]

somegirl1:


A good number seem to take that fairytale seriously.

macof:


And how does this affect you? You don't even know a thing about the yoruba

ghostofsparta:

modify and remove my email from that quote. Someone attempted my email for an OLX scam.

duni04:
The OP of this thread should post his address so we can gather at his house and lynch him! Very stupid thread! So ugbo people, or people of the bush, have magically turned into today's Igbo? The mod that forwarded this to the front page without a link or verifiable source should also be lynched!
Bloody îdiots!!!

somegirl1:


Where did I state that it affected me? Or that I care to know about "the yoruba"?

Pharoh:
The yoruba origin story is very deep and like most cultural myths it is only the initiated that has this deep understanding of those stories, not even the common yoruba people talkless of outsiders.

macof:


read and understand this before u come talking about people you supposedly don't care about


since u aren't affected or care about yoruba issues stay away then

somegirl1:


You should take your own advice i.e read my comment and understand before responding to my comment.
I glossed through the article. I wasn't interested enough to read in detail hence my not commenting on the main article but responded to a comment that caught my interest...which I read and perfectly understood before repreplying.

macof:


I understood your comment but you don't understand what you comment about

somegirl1:


Perhaps if you'd taken your own advice, you'd have noticed that I simply agreed with the comment below.

macof:


exactly why you needed me to call you to order
why agree with the comment if you don't care and aren't affected by Yorubas. . plus you don't even know a thing about the yoruba nation

somegirl1:


Because I was interested in the comment. Surely I don't need to explain to you how it is possible to be interested in a single comment and not the main article.
I'm not really interested in learning about the yoruba nation, I reiterate.

Ihuomadinihu:

And he doesn't know a thing about the Igbo nation. Girl,you can say whatever you want afterall he is they one jumping around on Igbo threads and topics. Especially when he doesn't know a thing about Igbos. Respect is reciprocal! I expect him to equally stay away from Igbo stuffs as it doesn't concern him. Old habits die hard,they say!

somegirl1:


Well, until I encounter him on an Igbo thread.
I just find it amusing how some people seem to take certain stories too seriously.
Mythology is great as long as when people know that it is was it it, just myth.

Ihuomadinihu:

Never mind,he is always there,esp when igbo is mentioned along side hebrew or some distant culture.

somegirl1:


Lol
Nothing wrong with him expressing disbelief as long as he's not insulting an entire ethnic group.

Ihuomadinihu:

No p. Saying you know nothing about his culture is bad enough. Pot calling kettle black.

why don't you face me directly? ever since I asked for proof to ur ridiculous claims you've been hating on me is such proof of the name of the geneticis that discovered Euriasian gene in Yoruba so hard to furnish? btw you keep saying I know nothing of the Igbo Apparently I know better than you - who claims Hebrew origin of the Igbo without evidence or any sort of compelling proof just wishful thinking

I love culture and history that includes the Igbo's so this quite different from the case of somegirl1 who doesn't care about the yoruba yet comments on what she knows nothing about calling it insane myth

how can one appreciate what he doesn't understand or wish to understand?

Ihuomadinihu:

Hebrew or eurasian whatever is for another thread. Why would an adult like me be afraid of facing you directly? Lol.
It's absurd how you go running your mouth abi fingers on numerous igbo threads writing what you have no idea about. Yet when an Igbo contributes a word on Yoruba threads,you come out with your long fangs,claiming they know nothing about Yoruba.
Just learn to respect people's thread especially when it's connected to their oral tales. Just like you have dismissed Igbo-ugbo-yoruba tales,it would be better if you stick to your history and solve its mystery. Igbos will equally solve theirs,as technology and genetics advances.

macof:


Oh I have full idea what am writing about, it's very simple really. .you're trying to propagate a claim, I want to learn I ask for proof you have none you flare up you act like your fellow igbos haven't kicked your hebrew claim right out in your face
Oh so now hebrew origin is recorded in Igbo oral tales? this is new

why should anybody say things like Ugbo are igbo or Ijebu-Igbo are Igbo or Egba are igbo and you expect me not to correct such shameful blunder. ..again your comparison doesn't relate with me

Ihuomadinihu:

You are no authority on Igbo history,think twice before jumping all over igbo threads with your baseless judgements and disapproval on what does not concern you or your history. That's all. Like i said,hebrew stuff is for another thread. Nevertheless,hebrew or no hebrew, censor your comments if you have to contribute to stuffs that are not related to you. I have seen you force some ignorant opinions on Igbos,don't understand why you should become defensive when others do the same on your history?
And who are you to dismiss ugbo-igbo oral history so abruptly without academic back ups? There is always a dash of truth in everything,it's left for you to seek for truth without adding your tribal sentiments.
