Can you imagine this coming from an ipod loser!

erusen:

ariesbull:

He isn't igbo
Igbo seems to be your peeps nightmare

I served in Benin and lived in Benin oredo local government and new Benin ..I am yet to see any Benin gat speaks Yoruba or bear a yoruba name
Is uyi a yoruba name
Is Ivie
Osamudanen
Uyi etc they are not yoruba names
Yoruba names are Tunde , Femi, Funmi et al..so why confuse us

I know that utsen and environs speaks a mixture of Yoruba and Benin ..and that's a cultural intersection that doesn't mean that Benin are Yoruba


Why this issue

Kagawa10:

The akoko Edos speak a form of adulterated Yoruba.
Come to think of it, what's the bini word for child? Isn't it omo?
Is omo not a yoruba word? Names like Omosheibi, Omonifemi, Omopariola are all yoruba names betwn. Hence, bini can't claim otherwise that omo is a bini word.

BarryX:
So the word omo is indigenous to the Yorubas? Sorry to say this but you just succeeded in adding to the negative stereotypes people are having about the Yorubas.

Yoruba own Omo detergent too?

OK continue

Kagawa10:

A case study is we Nigerians claiming to have been superior to the British when we serve their God, speak their language and incorporate their cultures into ours! Wouldn't that be an absurd claim?

So Nigerians are inferior to the British because we serve their God

Really? What are we not going to read on Nairaland
OK continue

Kagawa10:

Omo is pronounced differently..
The same way Osun is different from Osu.

Kagawa10:

No one is saying we are inferior but claiming to be superior is stup!dity at its peak.

BarryX:
You just inferred that though with these statements.

Hope your complex personality is intact

BarryX:
There are lots of ethnic groups in the Niger delta region(Isoko, Urhobo, Ezon etc) that supposedly use the "omo" prefix in either their conversations or names and it has the same meaning and pronunciation.

In your words, they probably borrowed it from the Almighty Yoruba that owns the Omo word.

When did Africa get to this point again?

OK continue

Kagawa10:

You obviously need to see a doctor If that's what you could only see from the post.

Kagawa10:

I doubt any Isoko/Ezon/Urhobo uses the word 'omo' as the prefix of their names or words! And when I say prefix, I mean names where the word 'Omo' could stand alone as the other word. E.g 'Omo' nifemi, 'Omo' wunmi.
The word 'Wunmi' and 'Nifemi' would still make the same meaning words even without the word 'Omo'.

Don't feign ignorance please or rather leave your comfort zone and know more about the country you reside. Ignorance or doubts in this context is not an excuse, coming out to defend the Almighty tribe with you uninformed jibes says much

They have omo-oghene (child of God), omote(girl), Omoshare/Omoza(boy),

erusen:
guy u need to south south there numerous tribes,some I don't even know their names that use omo,omo is used in urbobo stop doubting start teavelling

Kagawa10:

Borrowing the word 'omo' isn't the bone of contention here but the origin of the word 'omo'
No one cares if dinosaurs also borrow the word to be part of their language but the origin is what matters. As far as I'm concerned, no tribe uses the word 'Omo' as part of their names the way Yoruba uses theirs.
As a matter of fact, only Yoruba has used the word 'Omo' which dated back as far as millenium years ago. One of my sec. school friend's surname is Omosheibi. Can you imagine someone's great great grandfather to have been bearing the said name? And this is what you bini want to claim?
Try another!

erusen:
wait are u fighting for"omo"?.u don't understand do u?,omo is used in most south south languages,u just dey for useless thing,you want "omo" come and take it

Kagawa10:

They (with the Binis) obviously borrowed it from the Yorubas.
All they have is the use of "it" in their language/statement. Yoruba on the other hand has names (with the word 'Omo') that dated back as far as several centuries years ago!

Kagawa10:

LOL!
Typical!
Tell me how many of those names can stand alone and still retain its meaning without the word 'omo'.

BarryX:
All of them.

BarryX:
Sorry bro.. How old are you?

erusen:
not only the binis use "omo" many tribes in south south use it too.what is omosefe,that is a Bini name,tell me the meaning

Kagawa10:

As always, only you could see that!
It actually baffles me how some one could think Oghene without the word 'omo' would still have the same meaning. Let alone omotza, omote et al. Obviously, I've been wasting my time here with these bini dullards!
