Well done!

What is the meaning of Igbólé in Ekiti and Òkè Igbó in Ondo states?
Igbole (Igbo Ile) means the bush/forest around the home. The farm area of such people is likely to be far away from their settlement, however, there is an expanse where they can do small scale farming or hunting around the settlement area, that's why it's refer to as Igbo Ile, some also refer to Igbo as Igbe. If you want to be specific with it, you call Igbo as in Forest while Igbe as in Bush.
Oke Igbo is just a hill or mount around the bush or forest

Igbo means forest.

So most of these town are named after the resources mostly found in the area

Igbo-Elerin means forest of Elephants
Igbo-Ora is gotten from Igbo-inu ira meaning swamoy forest.
a gave u a like,but I wish it was 60likes, I gave the man who asked the question clue. I have seen a facialR of my aunty in a big commercial area, I thought na my aunty and approach her, she said she is a Igbo woman, I thought na my aunty spirit until I call aunty number. Another version of you may be in another town,my version may be in Cross River, who knows ? Another version of you may be in Enugu, Jos, Niger,Osun,Edo. There is a mystery about this life and our existence that nobody knows except the Mighty. If data of twins, accurate data with technology are use for populations of twins round the world, don't be suprise Igbo~Ora in Oyo state is the highest even more than Brazil. But anything whites said we swallow without doing our own health.

You can say that again. She's one of the reasons me and my twin bro are alive today.

Stop worshiping white people.

Are you saying if not for Mary slessor, you would hav been killed in 21st century for being twins?
Do you know how many people they burnt on the stake in white man land for having epilepsy thinking they were possessed?
What of slavery? What’s the difference between slavery and killing twins? They are both crimes against humanity

And Mary slessor only stopped killing twins in some small remote area not even the entire Akwa ibom . And without her, they would have stopped eventually

Mary Slessor stopped the killings of twins in some parts of Nigeria and not Yorubaland. In fact, the Yorubas literally worshipped twins because they were believed to have paranormal powers. The birth of twins used to be celebrated more than the birth of a single child.

So it will be the greatest height of ignorance to attribute the evil practices being practiced by a few tribes in Nigeria to every part of Africa before the invasion of the colonial invaders when the cultures and practices are different like night and day.

refusing people to vote because they look like igbo is more tribalistic than my comment that's nazism you should be more concerned about that


Next election will be worse for you if you do pass yourself. We don’t regret giving you that treatment and you deserve it. You were beating and refused to vote and nothing happened with all your chest beating. Cowards

It's because there's abundance of gonadotropins in Igbo-Ora, that's why. Make nobody attach one spiritual meaning to it.

3 Nigerians are listed among top Billionaires in the world. They are also the top richest 3 in Nigeria.

Aliko Dangote
Abdul Samad Rabiu
Mike Adenuga.

So, a Yoruba man is among the top richest in Nigeria and enough among top 20 richest in Nigeria. We are silent archivers. We don't have to make noise about every little thing.

On the contrary, killing of Twins has stopped in Yoruba land before Mary Slessor stepped her feet into Nigeria. She only eradicated killing of twins in Akwa Ibom and by extension, South south states.
There was no even Nigeria in that era. So that appellation is ambiguous to say the least



Kotankotan wo leleyi nsọ gan! Which history told you Yoruba once killed twins in its culture?

There was no time there was killing of twins in Yorubaland as cultural practice! Some of go just comment as if na water dey una head!

The town with the highest number of twins in the whole Africa.
No household without at least a twin.

Research has it that they eat a particular diet that probably leads to the high rate of twins.

The information is not free grin

Research shows that they come all the way from Afonjaland to steal twins from Igboland. We should hold Theifuibu and Amotekun terrorists responsible for this grin grin. IgboAmaka
