The Obatala kings of the Igbos in Ife, who ruled until the 10th century were called Oba Igbo.

GBTYO:
What we can all agree to in this thread is that:

1. Yoruba was NOT the original self-description which the people of modern day SW called themselves.

2. That the term Yoruba was coined by a Sahellian Muslim scholar.

3. That all Yorubas in this thread admit to the fact that Yoruba has no meaning in their language

Thank You

Okay

That igbodefender is the most pathetic history re-writer I have seen on this forum. He's the same fool that keeps propagating the lie that the January 1966 coup plotters wanted to install Awolowo as the president.

When I asked him what kind of president did they want to install. Is it a civilian-military head of state or civilian president without election? I'm yet to see his response.

Click this link and read excerpts from Achebe's books. The word 'Ibo' was only used in TFA printed in the UK by caucausians and that book was simply written for the consumption of foreigners who previously believed that Africans never had their own governments before the colonial days.

In subsequent editions and in other books it was 'Igbo' all through.

To feel good the guy who walks in and finds his houseboy on top of his mother will tell himself and anyone who cares to listen that they were cleaning furniiture or that he fell on top of her blown by a strong wind from the ceiling fan.In fact he will persuade himself that it is true.

Achebe wrote Things fall Aparf for the consumption of forreigners? Really? Tell yourself that until you believe it. You folk ae renowned liars


Just like the fool who said Onitsha Market is the largest in the Milky Way and the US Army buys drones there. You hear that and you are waitig for the smiley but he is dead serious

Another dunce said Orji Uzor Kalu is so rich the CBN begged him take his money abroad because the could not cope.They had no space.
So he went and the World Bank could only accept half and the IMF took the other half

Where is the logic in your statement. He wrote Things Fall Apart for Foreigners? Why? Later he stopped aand changed? Really? Who was he writing for then? Why?

You folk lie like children ,6 year old children. You have no understanding of fiction and reality

Kindly explain why Igbo is so unpalatable to foreigners but Ogbuefi Ezeudu, Okonkwo , Ikemefuna and Obierika are acceptable to foreign stomachs. Why not Obuefi ? Why Ogbuefi?

Olu317:
Of course yes, you are entitled to your opinion just as I. But here,it is about fact on Yoruba people identifiable names in different location and account of these folks, especially in Bénin and Togo where they are referred to as Anago or Ana. And the name was coined for a reason by Fon(Dahomey) people, who are the largest tribe in Bénin Republic. This is the point here.




Cheers

As in ehn, the guy is the yardstick/epitome of foolishness. How he conjures thrash from his akpu brain and state it as fact amazes/amuse me. It's like watching a mad man performing in the market square.

Debunk history with facts not emotional higgy hagga.

Nonaira1:


Do you people ever have Shame at all? Seriously Afonjas does your clan ever have shame at all? How many times do we have to tell you people THERE ARE NOT ANY YORUBA IN ANIOMA LAND!!!! Stop repeatedly trying to attach unaselves to aniocha through olukumni. We no want una!!!! The olukumni history traces them to yoruba yes but today they are not yoruba. The community in question don't claim una. Even the few celebrities from that side have never once claimed una yet you people just can't stop this patheticness. Please stivk to itsekiri you've been claiming and leave Aniocha land alone. Abeg. We don't want una!!!

igbodefender:

Dumb comment. Argue with facts not trollism.

Yyeske:
It's obvious to everyone here that Yoruba was actually imposed on you, Nigeria has a meaning, a contraction of two words -----Niger and area, at least your social studies class in primary school should have taught you that.
I've told you the meaning of the examples I gave you but you just want to argue over nothing you know about.
Meanwhile, give me a name of person or place in Yorubaland with Yoruba prefix or suffix and you cannot fit.
Yoruba was imposed on you and your people, QED.

Nonaira1:


Who the Heck told you the bolded? Olukumi is not an ancient igbo language. Have you ever heard the language? If you have, you'll know It is not Igbo. It sounds nothing like igbo. Secondly, the olukumis do not speak any olukumni or olucumi or whatever you want to call it. That speak Enuani like the rest of us. Only a hand full, usually their elders, are the ones that still manages to speak olukumi.

Nonaira1:


I suggest REREAD my post before quoting me and saying what I already said. Wtf did you think you just contradicted?

They migrated from Yoruba land fact. Today, they don't claim yoruba. They don't even see themselves as yoruba. They don't even speak the language. Only people that keep calling them yoruba are you yoruba people and it's pathetic!!! Stick to attache by force to iteskiri and LEAVE aniomaland alone. We don't want you people!!!

I know Olukumis because my family is related to them by marriage and I'll forever keep telling you waste things to stop una patheticness.

THERE ARE NO YORUBA IN ANIOMALAND.

Stick to your desperation with iteskiri people and leave us the hell alone.

Yyeske:
Thank God for OP and this thread, I never knew Yoruba was actually imposed on you.
We learn everyday

Yyeske:
Lol, a credible link indeed so why is Igbo in the names of people and places I talked about?
Remember you have not given me any examples in Yorubaland

Yyeske:
Give examples in Yorubaland abeg or let's forget this argument if there is none.

Nonaira1:




No he dresses like a chinese man just like Asagba.

All you said was on point jare.
pls carry your double wahala go front and don't ever quote me again. I'm allergic to retards.

Diademk07:

This is a Bini wear which is different from the Olukumi Oba who had strings attached to his crown like my Father's crown.
All that you've confirmed is Ibo are Immigrants in Asaba.

Diademk07:

What stupid example? OYO is a Yoruba state, isn't it? Btw, it was two words that were coined together. You can even see some folks bearing Oba as a prefix. The word is even pronunced 'Yooba' by the localised aged folks in Oyo villages however such word can't be used in an english diction because a consonant must follow a vowel hence the letter 'R'
