Thetruthsayer10: Let me guess, you are quoting Wikipedia. Lol. Why angry because I tell you the truth? Now look at the last sentence in the screenshot you pasted. It says Olucumi/ Olukwumi/ Lucumi is spoken by the Oshimmili people of Delta State. Those Oshimmili people are Igbos. Stop arguing pointlessly. 3 Likes |

Thetruthsayer10: There is no need to create an unnecessary argument. The Oyo people were the first to be known as Anago or Nago. Other "Yoruba" speakers came to be known by that temrinology especially in the zone of the Oyo Empire.The word itself is an Oyo word This is well documented by the Portuguese and Spanish centuries ago. You seem to be suggesting that migration stopped with the creation of Nigeria. You will be surprised to find out how many Yorubas living in Porto Novo are of Nigerian origin . Not Just Benin but Togo FYI there was an incident of Nigerians must go in Ghana in the 60s right in the middle of the civil war most of them were Yoruba and that is why the 1981 retaliation went down well in Nigeria though today many don't know it was a retaliation Emmanuel Adebayor is a good example.He is of Nigerian origin That is all I have to say on the past . Regardin listening well or not. That depends on Your grounding in the language. What may see strange to you is commonplacee to another I did not and will not comment on what is happening today in Benin but bear in mind that not everyone here is a child. I remember, I did not read or hear, when Benin was called Dahomey so I have personal acquaintance with changes as they have occurred over time 4 Likes 2 Shares |

rlauncher: There is no such thing as Yoruba. Every afonja on this thread has admitted that the term "yoruba" is an alien descriptive. Instead of you to go and find out what your ancestors called themselves before afonja's betrayal you are here clinging to a dergotray identity. Pathetic and sad. The Okumin people have really fallen and their ancestors will be reeling at the insult in their graves. 3 Likes |

GBTYO: You this guy needs some form of deliverance from some form of demons. Igbo in Yoruba language means "BUSH".tell me when you have ever heard it anywhere of Yoruba people calling Igbos bushmen and bushwomen. We would not do that because it is wrong to do so.

GBTYO: Liberate ourselves from what! We don't have a second class citizens mindset like you people who think you and every other people are slaves to northerners. You Igbo people are the ones who need deliverance from mental slavery. Nigeria is not a hopeless country you people are painting it to be. We will certainly emerge from our challenges. It is a matter of time. Believe, pray and do your own part to help the country succeed, not selling fake and adulterated cheap products on the streets of our cities. 3 Likes 1 Share |

0monnak0da: Igbos trying to twist our history on this thread should shut up and find something else to do. The name Yoruba does not carry any negative connotation. It does not matter to us where it originated from. It was adopted by the people whose origins was from Ile-Ife, the ancestral home of all Yoruba language speaking people to distinguish them from other people. This happened after the fall of the Oyo Empire. The Yoruba speaking people of the present southwest -Nigeria originally consist of several independent kingdoms or nation states ruled by a king known as Oba. The kingdoms includes Ile-Ife, Oyo, Ijebu, Ilesha, Owo,Ketu, Ede, and several others. Each kingdom had its own boundary and king. I think you could be counting up to 24 or more of them. Eventually Oyo gained ascendancy amongst the others and dominated them militarily, politically, and economically. The Alaafin of Oyo became the de facto emperor of what was then known as Oyo Empire. The other Yoruba kingdoms became vassal states under the Alaafin paying yearly tributes to the Oyo Kingdom. At that time, the entire Yorubaland whose boundary extends from the coast of present day Ghana to Warri in present day Delta state, south of the Niger Delta was referred to as the Oyo Kingdom. At the fall of the Oyo Empire which was actually celebrated by the other Yoruba kingdoms due to their desire for independence from Oyo colonialism, the other Yoruba kingdoms quickly reasserted their political independence from Oyo. Overtime, there arose the need for a unifying name with which to identify these people whose ancestry could be traced back to Ile-Ife. Since Oyo and Ile-Ife were formerly co-equal kingdoms , it would be inappropriate to adopt any of these names, hence the adoption of Yoruba. 8 Likes 2 Shares |

0monnak0da:In as much as I hate tribal nairaland wahala, I'll want to set the record straight on this. Igbo means people in the Igbo language and that is why some names of people and places all over Igboland have an Igbo prefix. Igboukwu is in Anambra and it means great people, Igbokwe means the people agree, Igboanugo means the people have heard etc. Just the few examples I can think of for now. So the word Igbo has a meaning in the Igbo language. 3 Likes 1 Share |
