Revealed: How Whites Stole These Yoruba Names And Made Them Theirs by funmo(m): 11:49am On Aug 04, 2015
Truth be told, I've nothing against the Whiteman, except that I hate the fact that he steals from we blacks and Africans, then go ahead to patent it and make it all theirs. s m h ! ! ! First off, it was formal education, stolen from Egypt, and then they stole the black identity from Jesus, and made us believe he was a white. The Garden of Eden is in Africa. They came to steal our great-fore-five-six fathers. And the stealing stories continue till the stories get stolen again. Of course by the Whiteman. If they had their way, they would steal the Sun, and make us import it for huge amount. Ahn Ahn. Kai! And if you never knew, Whites stole Yoruba names. I've always known this as a kid. Now I'll unravel the mystery. These names are originally of Yoruba descent, until they got stolen.


Tobi


Remember Spiderman? The movie and not cartoon. The actor's name is Toby. Doesn't Toby mean big in Yoruba? Oluwatobiloba - the lord is a big king. And Oyinbos decided to put it in their names' list. And put Y instead of I. These people sha.


Lola


How can Whites permanently shorten Omolola - the child is an honour? to Lola and make it theirs for life. Whites steal and don't think of the consequences. What does Lola mean in English?


Alan


My name gangan is Alani. Alani - behold the purest. But the whiteman back in the pre-colonial days, came to Africa and stole a slave by that name. The eventual slave owner envied the name and removed the i, just so that it'd sound Oyinboish. It's Alani, not Alan. OYINBO NA THIEF O O


Remy


Oluwaremilekun - the Lord done took away my tears. But the Whites say it's Remy Martin, Loic Remy or Remy Ma. Well-played Mr Whiteman. Your stealing case will be judged separately on judgment day. Thiefu!


Adele

They even now pronounce this one Her-del. Del ko, Toshiba ni. Adele - someone who watches over the home in your absence. Oyinbooo!



As if not enough, they had the nerves to steal these other Yoruba names and assign them to other things.


Akin omo Akin, the brave man. They now say Akin means similar to. What!!! Simi- rest. La- excel. SimiLa - Simi excels.

Ado, the capital of Ekiti. Even Shakespeare made this one popular, saying it means fuss. Hmmm. Much Fayose about nothing! I see

The first-ever Mr Banjo will never forgive the white man for saying his name means a type of guitar.

Bimbo, Abimbola. I won't even say what the Whiteman calls this one.

Akimbo... Hakeem.

Heskey...Esike/Sikiru

Ode... Ode mumu

Ale




Is OK Oyinbo man... keep at it.
