Be it as it may, We are all sons and daughters of ADAM & EVE since time immemorial... Not minding our Tribe or Origin.

Emilokoiyawon:


you have been exposed as a Biafra. Your bigoted claim that Yoruba people know ho to re write history to make it look as if every other tribe arround them are from Yoruba... exposes you as a Yoruba-hater (of no consequence but hater all the same). The Yorubas are not expansionist Biafrauds going around claiming anything and everything that is not Yoruba, Edo or Hausa/Fulani. Our cultural self-esteem is too sure for that childish nonsense. If the Ibillo say they are from Benin, or Ife or Madasgascar or wherever its their business, and their history. Yorubas are known all over Nigeria for the simple motto of 'just live and let live.' We don't have time for your childish Biafra business. I have EXPOSED you now move on.

Emilokoiyawon:


who is claiming you? ONLY BiaFRAUDS claim people. Yorubas are too sure. Ki lo kan wa?

Bros, You need to encounter your consciousness and ur true identity

Thanks a lot EZANAFE, you tried jare!
Your contribution is highly appreciated.

Deadlytruth:
I know Igarra very well. Well, Igarras are not Yorubas and they have no links with Yorubas in any way. Igarras have v and z in their alphabets while yorubas don't have these letters in their own alphabetical system. Igarra people of Akoko-Edo speak Etuno dialect of the Oshuku language. Some Igarra names are Ozioma, Ofuje, Adaviriku, Adeche, Eneze, Ajimego, Ochavinekine, Asusheyi, Iramofu, Ukana, Osireyeriopa, Ozaime, Ozeyeivo, etc, and I don't think any Yoruba man here can interpret any of these names based on Yoruba diction.

Go back 5 thousand years, Yoruba was not spoken anywhere in Nigeria just like English was not spoken anywhere in Britain, the people adopted the language in same way we are adopting English nowadays. I for one believe that the old language of the Yoruba was Akoko but in a proto form more related to Igbo and Edo than it is today. Just like in Britain there are still a few Celtic languages including Irish, Welsh and a few in England, we also have Akokoid languages remaining in Yoruba land. Those languages are directly descended from our old languages. They will be close to Orofe, the old Ife language known to many Awos. The present Yoruba language is descended from the Kemitic Egyptian in exactly thesame way English is descended from old German. Those Akokoid tongues are the old languages of Yoruba people which means the people are more proto Ife than the people in Ile Ife who now speak the new language derived from Kemitic Egyptian.

macof:



Yoruba language has nothing to do with Kemetic language. nothing about Yorubas descended from Egypt. we are pure west Africans
if we must trace our origins outside west Africa. .. such proto-YEAI language would still be part of the Niger-Congo languages. .. not an Afro-Asiatic language which ancient Egypt spoke

lawani:




You can google it, words like suegbe-fool, ika-wicked, lareja-knowledge, ibudo-dwelling place, On-person, ma-know and over half of modern Yoruba vocab was used in exactly thesame way in kemitic Egypt. So that our current language is descended from that language is not debateable. it is the fact. i for one believe our ancestors spoke Akoko dialects in the past. I once heard an Awo on radio saying our old word for house was Arigidi and that Ile is new. That we speak a language descended from kemitic Egypt does not mean we are descended wholly from kemitic Egypt but definitely a large number of them joined us and we adopted the language same way we are now adopting English.
