konoplyanka: Never had kings? How do you know this? I think the word you are looking for is Didn't which points to certain Igbo groups not having ultimate rulers at the time they were discovered by the Brits. Oligarchy which Igbos practiced is a more advanced form of government than monarchy - circa 800 BC vs 2000 BC, and was therefore a natural step up from kingship Kingship was restored/ introduced by Europeans not Binis. Unless you have information pointing to Bini style kingship east of the Niger. That Aniomas et al are Igbo is a very convenient assertion when it suits certain agendas. Anyhow, if "today they are Igbo" as you stated, it reinforces my earlier point that Igbos influenced Bini's east-bound exiled subject to the point that their origin is debatable. What a feat. 8 Likes |

BabaIbo: Omg, am I dreaming? lol. Yorubas and Igbos who better pass for traditional medicine? lol .. don’t make me laugh. Even today you all have abandoned all your village dibias and are too busy gulping agbo like there is no tomorrow. How can Igbos introduce Ewuro into Yorubaland? I thought you were saying before that there is nothing like Ewuro? What is your I.Q pls? Did I say that it was an English proverb? What is the Igbo word for Jedi-jedi? 2 Likes |

baby124: idio.t but you said Akara and kpomo which is fried beans pud and animal hide or skin respectively are borrowed from yoruba. you are just too stupi.d, efo is a yoruba word for leave, it's like calling premier or Eva oshe! |

maclatunji: You intentionally digress. What does access to sea, kidnapping and slave trading have to do with domination? Your claim that Igbos were dominated by Binis is what I addressed. That you have to kidnap individuals rather than simply command their groups to produce a number of them for sale demonstrates a lack of dominance over them. 6 Likes |

You Africans argue alot, English and German have similar and sometimes the same words meaning the same thing, does it mean that one borrowed from the other one. You came to this world and met your language and you are arguing wether the other one borrowed from your own.something that you dont know how it came about. 6 Likes |

maclatunji:Of course appointing a king should be a taboo or some sort of illegitimacy in every given entity reasonable dwellers considering the manner of authority or power such king is to bear. So I don't need to stamp it into your tick hairless skull that 'APPOINTING' a king in Igboland is till being frowned upon up till this day and I believe same for Yorubas too. Despite your claims of not heavily populated, unorganized, little or no military might the so called conquerors never left a foot print worth noting. I know must be wondering how the Igbos managed to survive while eluding the Bini conquerors and their allies despite their military sophistication and superior civilization. 3 Likes |

BabaIbo:Lmao. I am obviously arguing with a jobless person. Akara, ponmo, egusi are all Yoruba words. In fact there is different Egusi cooking methods by Yoruba group, but one thing in common is the way they make the base. Spinach is popularly called just Efo. But it’s really Efo amunututu. I am done arguing with you. Soon you will say Shaki is an Igbo word. We also have Tete, Shoko yokoto (another spinach), Ewedu 5 Likes 1 Share |

somegirl1: The report I quoted states thousands. That's almost the equivalent of millions by today's standards. I call it 'subjugation', you call it 'kidnapping'. Is it even possible for Igbos to kidnap Igbos, move them to the coastlines to be sold to Europeans in places they do not control? That is where access to the sea comes in. Igbos did not dislike themselves enough to sell the number of slaves that were taken out of Igboland, it was not kidnapping too. The only rational explanation, is a superior force raiding Igboland for a very long time. It wasn't the Nupe nor Yoruba, it had to be your immediate neighbours, the Bini. |

BabaIbo: lol you have toured Yorubaland more than me in your previous live maybe. But definitely not this one. You were arguing with two people mind you. I wasn’t the one wbo said efo is spinach. SPINACH in Yoruba is Efo tete. BITTER LEAF Is Efo Ewuro WATER LEAF is Efo Gbure Etc Like that, like that depending on the particilular specie of EDIBLE vegetable LEAVES. Your knowledge of Yoruba language is like a toddler just picking up terminologies in a new tongue at the level which I am at. I can bet you don’t even understand Igbo as much as I understand Yoruba. 3 Likes |

Lordave:Even the Bini influence on Onicha is debatable. I mean, people would always refer to Eze Chime (a reverse migration which occurred then) as if there weren't people living after the Niger river. P.S.: I do not think it went further down into Anambra. 3 Likes |

scholes0: mumu tinko is an Igbo word which was derived from the sound it makes when you're eaten it... it's gotten from donkey hide or skin, go to north you and ask who are the major buyer or consumer after this let's close this case please, I can see you have never been to hausaland before, they eat more sugars than yorubas, they have stronger medicines for jedi-jedi... I understand, you want to claim jedi-jedi just the same way you tried to claim ireke (sugarcane) which is reike or alubosa which is alibasa abi... ask yourself one question do you consume more sugar than them or do you suffer the ailment than them... again, do you cultivate sugarcane and alibasa (onions) more than them, they are the ones supplying you all those things so why do you think the name originated from buyers angle instead of the supplier (producers) angle 1 Like |
Re: Red Ibo In Jamaica: A Profile Of The Igbo People Of Jamaica by konoplyanka: 2:42pm On Jan 22, 2018 |
BabaIbo: Yes efo is general name for edible leaves. But there is a particular leaf we also call efo. That's efo Tete. If you call Tete just efo everyone would understand you. But you can't call ewuro just efo unless you say efo ewuro. So no matter how you try you can't understand yoruba more than the indigenes so quit your folly. |

maclatunji:Poorly equipped military yet, they waged war against the British for close to 40 years. The Binis have never claimed to conquer Igboland or fight them unlike when of recent, Lagos and Ado-Ekiti were being debated. I really do wonder where you get your history from. Isn't it Maclatunji, the one who enjoys twisting things to suit his purpose? sapientia:LOL! Of a truth, the narrative has been making sense. bibe:On the contrary, I think the Nok culture (from which it was claimed the Yoruba and Bini culture are an offshoot of it) was the oldest in present day Nigeria. 2 Likes |

BabaIbo: See someone who claims to have taken first in Yoruba language at his school arguing with me about the origin of Jedi Jedi. lol first from the back of that class list maybe. Either that, Or maybe your school was filled with Igbos only or complete Olodo yoruba boys and girls. Reke and Alubosa are Hausa and Arabic words respectively- nobody is arguing that. It is so funny the way you keep bringing the unrelated Hausas into this discussion. Hausa language isn’t even Niger Congo yet I can still point to many Hausa terms of Yoruba origin. Is there any Hausa word of Igbo origin? (just for curiosity) Pls focus on the topic at hand or let the discussion end there like you already proposed. 1 Like |

BabaIbo: You are too daft. How can you claim jedijedi as hausa if you don't know the etymology of the word itself. And you were claiming to come first in Yoruba. Another reason I don't take you ibos serious because of your lies. Anybody who understands Yoruba can't make such ignorant claim. Je idi je idi= jedijedi Idi butthole Je=eat It means something that eats deep into your butthole. You scratch your butthole when you have jedijedi. |
