How do you establish who borrow from where?

You have a 'default tokunbo orientation'.

Akuko nd coc.k sound alike because both brits and Yoruba adopted onomatopoeic

kukadodo.

Papa is yoruba for grassland, why not papa meaning the same thing in both languges?

baba is father, so you can argue that baba is from father.

Both languages share homophone for dirty.

Did Yoruba learn of dirty from england?

grin grin I can't believe you didn't applaud the op. isn't this what you and metaphysic do?

every Yoruba word that sounds like a word of Afroasiatic languages must point to yoruba origin from the middle-east


why doesn't Akuko = Ccock and Baba = Papa not mean that Yoruba had footprint in the British Isles? cheesy


you are also guilty of the "tokunbo orientation" you accuse chowlade of. examine urself first

if the yoruba word "Ebora" comes from "Deborah" as you said, why can't "Akuko" come from "Ccock"?

Ccock is pure english. Papa is of Roman Influence

Still let's say, if going by absoluteSuccess, Who believes homophones are valuable resources to decoding yoruba origin. ..Yoruba must have been the ancient romans of old that settled in Britannia

To carry strong feelings like this for another man across the year means something.


It revealed something about your persona.


I'm happy for you. When you place my extreme imaginable beside your imaginable @ the bolded, what did you conclude on?


Sorrow blood and death.


A fool was actually using woman dp and sex to lure me to Akure on whatsapps.

Why not slit my throat online?

If not conforming to your opinions makes me st.upid: you forgot to seize the opportunity to share your pristine knowledge?


Mockery is knowledge.


You are still echoing my frames, the frame from a stupi.d person has pinned on your mind. Why not the foolproof of your knowledge?


Which of your personally conceived 'trademark knowledge' has stuck on anyone so far? But my stupidit.y stuck on you.


You can only scare fools with death and ridicules. Keep making me part of your problem you don't want to see again with gunshot.

I will always be here to be a big issue in your lives from sunrise to sunrise.

That was a joke and wasn't even a direct response at you, it was a general statement over different things I've read on NL in recent times so relax.

Let 's not buzzword Akure, thanks.

Post whatever you need to post without referring to Akure.

I'm sure you've been whatsapped to other places in Nigeria, don't single out one place for mention.

Killers of Cynthia met her on a faceless forum, already a threat to life has been made by your clique.

And you have dropped an alibi in the bolded, and in the past conversations of your ease for human sacrifice on a thread.

These are forensic enough, and you don't know the level of culpability you are init.

You can be traced, so don't deceive yourself. I know your spies

This is also filed.

As to your question on what the Akure girl has to do with it, that's your bait to obtain and verify the picture of who is to be shot.

ok, I hope you are done with this phase.
Can you make sense now and answer simple questions? why are you ashamed of what you posted seeing someone else post the same thing without connection to the middle-east? maybe you can start seeing how easy it is to link yoruba with any place on the planet.


"Adele", the singer is and "Bale" the footballer are all evidence of yoruba footprint in Britain...what do you say?
