maestroferddi: Borro borro ko.... Yoruboids bound Igbos directly or indirectly on two sides, while Yorubas don't share border with any known igboid peoples. Who is borrowing what? Do you even know that conc Nsukka Igbo might contain up to 15% Yoruba-ish words? 2 Likes |

maclatunji: 1. You contradict yourself. Did you not in an earlier post allude to the fact that Igbos lived autonomously in dispersed communities? How then might a sense of oneness have been established between an Igbo community in Owerri and another in Abakiliki. Igbo groups did not identify as Igbo until fairly recently. 2. The word subjugate means to "bring under domination or control, especially by conquest.", conquer, vanquish, defeat, crush, quell, quash, gain mastery over, gain ascendancy over, gain control of, bring under the yoke, bring to heel, bring someone to their knees, overcome, overpower, hegemonize etc. I ask you once again to prove that Igbos were "subjugated" using the tests I mentioned earlier. E.g. Modern English includes a mix of Anglo-saxon, Latin and Frankish words which demonstrates how the language was influenced by conquerors and settlers. Scotland Gaelic is a secondary, rarely spoken language in Scotland due to years of English rule. Many Scottish names and place names have been replaced with English names. I'm going too far. Africa is a prime example of the effects of subjugation with the residues of colonialism littered across the continent. Can you point to any residues of Bini subjugation in Igbo land today? 6 Likes |

maclatunji: I want you to post the picture of Obi of Onicha and state how his regalia imitates that of Oba of Bini. Secondly ,of all the Anioma towns I want you to tell me what language they speak . Thirdly, I want you to articulate how the Bini kingdoms dominated the Igbo,in fact tell me the Igbo towns that were defeated by the Bini. I will not go into mocking and deriding Yoruba people because that is trashy but I want you to prove these things you claim happened ,else you wont be more that an ignorant kaikai drinker at the bus stop. 6 Likes |

scholes0: this is same thing I was saying the other time and some people here were saying I fall hand nko in igbo and nko in yoruba... from what he typed here if someone is arguing with him will you know the guy is talking about for that girl that types in red font and laydoh can you see that my silence to you guys was as a result of the low insight you people have.... scholes0 egwu has numerous meaning in igbo, e.g dance deadly fright, horror music, panic alarming, be afraid concert, dangerously fears, dances orchestra, terrible fear, formidable earthshaking, threatened fearsome, tracks awesome, be scared terrific, afraid alarmingly, frightened... let me ask you which tribe owns that infamous sound "ehn ehn"? I bet you will say yoruba in your deluded mind or believe |

somegirl1: Yes, they were autonomous and even when they fought had enough reasons to end the battles quickly. Yorubas fought wars for about 100 years. Igbos did that? Let me break it down for you: Village UmuX with total population of 500 fights Village Umu Y with total population of 700. The winning side has maybe 100 captives maximum. The location of the battle is 12 days from the coast, battles take place once every 10 years because quite frankly both or similar villages cannot afford to battle too much. Is this the kind of paltry return that fuelled thousands of Igbo slaves being sold across the Americas? Nope. |

OMANBALA1: Never said that, just told you historical facts. There were many Yorubas sold into slavery but the conditions were different. |
Re: Red Ibo In Jamaica: A Profile Of The Igbo People Of Jamaica by scholes0(m): 3:50pm On Jan 22, 2018 |
BabaIbo: I would say Yorubas own ehn ehn because it ends in a Nasal vowel. So many of my Igbo friends cant even pronounce such Yoruba words right. Some call Funmi : Fumi and call Akin: Aki ... Lol Are those the same people than want to clain ehhn ehn? Only Edos can pronunce those Yoruba terms without an accent or deformation. Besides, the pronunciation of the Yoruboid Egwú is different from Egwu (dance) / (danger) you listed up there. They are therefore not the same words going by the rules of tonal languages. 2 Likes |

maclatunji: Again , we want you the expert to prove this elusive domination we cant obviously see. How can a grown adult who has been on Nairaland for more than 10yrs spew this sort of ignorance. The joke will be on me if i dare educate you once more because you dont want to learn. So, tell us what is a civilization? Its funny because I know you are a yoruba ....lol 2 Likes |

laydoh: mumu why should I even bother my self about that, I'm an Igbo guy, i even tried to know yoruba to a good level, can you speak / write mine or anyother Nigerian language? see as e pain am as if I'm from your village, gerrof Moreover that is not the purpose of the thread |

maclatunji: You are an insecure basstard thats why you are bent on pulling people down to feel good about yourself. You are still in the primitive stage of development. I will not argue about slavery because its a shame but I want you to prove Igbo has no civilization...Pull out the facts and educate us with abundance of your knowledge. Teach me Igbo history,punk.

djon78: I'm Yoruba but I absolutely agree with u.... U cant claim civilisation without anything to show for it.... An advanced civilisation goes beyond conquering n subjugating ur neighbours.... There must be both physical n social evidence of such empire visible to all..... I live in canterbury and I marvel at the city walls, cathedrals, castles etc built hundreds of years ago by its inhabitants..... Thousands come from all over the world just to visit these monuments..... Where is the contemporary of such in ancient African civilisation.... None bothered to invent the wheel to make transportation easier.... None made effort to have an organised n structured religion strong enough to resist foreign ones..... None of the traditional healers made any effort whereby knowledge of herbs could be taught n passed on in a structured manner in order to prevent abuse n corruption of the practice.... . Ancient civilisation has a standard definition n redefining it to suit to own ego is unacceptable..... Rather, let's learn from our ancestors n ensure we build a proper African civilisation we can proudly bequeath to our children. 7 Likes 1 Share |

maclatunji: Too many suppositions in one post. You forget that your claim and the ensuing debate was based on your personal epiphany rather than research. You seem to actually be on your way to believing your hypothesis. How do you know warring Igbo tribes had reason to end battles quickly? You are yet to show evidence of Bini influence on Igbo culture. 3 Likes |
