Its truly beautiful. If Africa was not colonized there would have been perhaps 5 or 6 nations on the continent today. 5 or 6 far stronger nations. And these fools argue daily over Biafra this, Arawa that! 1naija, (from a Biafran) |

the term yoruba didn't exist before the europeans came. |
Re: Map Of Africa Before Europeans. . . . by oyinda3(f): 3:40am On Jul 04, 2009 |
i'm sure it did. i don't think the europeans made up the word yoruba. lol I read somewhere that it is a corruption of another word the hausa referred to us as. |

How can a map showing countries like Liberia, Orange. . . be "before Europeans"? |

If his was "before European" you would be seeing places like Mali, Songhay, Oyo Nri, etc. So there were more states before Europeans than now. |

That map is not accurate in the slightest. |

bawomolo: oyinda.: you're both partly right and partly wrong. Yoruba was a term but not as widespread as it is today. People identified themsleves by their villages, not by their language and culture. The slave trade vis a vis its abolition was a major or primary factor that united the Yoruba (after the wars of course). |
Re: Map Of Africa Before Europeans. . . . by tpiah: 2:47pm On Jul 04, 2009 |
poster Liberia and Sierra Leone did not precede the Europeans who created both countries. and wetin concern you with Yoruba, freed? This is the same thing that happened before oh. All the scatterbrains scattering themselves. Really, I dont understand why people will say they want autonomy, then turn around and try to rope others in their personal issues. What you need to do is have a role call- all who want to join you say aye and leave. Give them landed property on your side and live happily ever after. Everybody thinks they're a |

udezue: it's a pretty idealistic map considering the empire shuffling that was present in Africa and even europe at the time. I read somewhere that it is a corruption of another word the hausa referred to us as. they were city states and didn't come under one "yoruba" kindgom. similar to sparta and athens before they became greece. The yoruba kingdom is an European invention. is your full name oyindamola? |
Re: Map Of Africa Before Europeans. . . . by oyinda3(f): 9:04pm On Jul 04, 2009 |
bawomolo: i didn't say it was under one kingdom. of course it wasn't. lol u were talking about the term (that's what i read in ur post) and I don't even think most europeans saw yoruba as a kingdom. lol (the places on the map are not necessarily referring to kingdoms) srry if i read ur post differently. no dats not my full name but i'm yoruba. is ur full name bamowolo |
Re: Map Of Africa Before Europeans. . . . by bawomolo(m): 3:05am On Jul 05, 2009 |
oyinda.: oh i get what you are saying now. bawomolo just joins the first letter of my first name and then my last name |
Re: Map Of Africa Before Europeans. . . . by oyinda3(f): 3:41am On Jul 05, 2009 |
