BabaIbo:

nko- edged
nko- hook
nko- to tease or abuse some one
and so many more... can you tell me it's Yoruba meaning

maclatunji:


You have not noticed? Too bad.

laydoh:
nonsense,u no ntin abt yoruba n kip 4mng jagaban,jide is nt stand up,dide is stand up whle jide is wake

laydoh:
y u dey fall my hand na,u no sabi anytin n u go dey 4rm,d NKO dose guys r talking abt doesnt correlate wit d ones u listed hia,na d nko wey everyone dey use for pidgin dem dey talk.eg,you nko.

BabaIbo:



Guy are you for real, swear that you can't use jide for stand up or rise up... why do yorubas call it Ojo ajinde and not Ojo adinde...

it's a case of one part using dide and others using jide... you need to go back to your brown roof village to get yoruba tutor from your people...

Jide is more general than dide, Q.E.D

scholes0:


Omg, am I dreaming? lol.

Yorubas and Igbos who better pass for traditional medicine? lol .. don’t make me laugh.
Even today you all have abandoned all your village dibias and are too busy gulping agbo like there is no tomorrow.
How can Igbos introduce Ewuro into Yorubaland? I thought you were saying before that there is nothing like Ewuro?

What is your I.Q pls? Did I say that it was an English proverb?

What is the Igbo word for Jedi-

jedi Fine. Now what is the Yoruba word for Ogwu Iba?

baby124:

Lmao. I am obviously arguing with a jobless person. Akara, ponmo, egusi are all Yoruba words. In fact there is different Egusi cooking methods by Yoruba group, but one thing in common is the way they make the base. Spinach is popularly called just Efo. But it’s really Efo amunututu. I am done arguing with you. Soon you will say Shaki is an Igbo word. We also have Tete, Shoko yokoto (another spinach), Ewedu

aljharem:
So many false statement here. Alaia and moi moi are borrowed words from Yoruba. Until the amalgamation of Nigeria there was nothing like bean in igbo land. The demography does not favour such!!!!. So how did they get food made from beans. Haha!!!!!

scholes0:


lol, at this stage, I am even wondering if they have claimed the word Dodo (fried plantain) as well.
I think they would have o.

maestroferddi:
Fine. Now what is the Yoruba word for Ogwu Iba?

konoplyanka:


You are too daft. How can you claim jedijedi as hausa if you don't know the etymology of the word itself. And you were claiming to come first in Yoruba. Another reason I don't take you ibos serious because of your lies. Anybody who understands Yoruba can't make such ignorant claim.

Je idi je idi= jedijedi

Idi butthole
Je=eat

It means something that eats deep into your butthole. You scratch your butthole when you have jedijedi.

scholes0:


that sounds so Yoruba already, mr.
Ogun Iba is the word.

Ogun - Medicine
Iba - Malaria/High fever

Ha- Igbos don steal all our terms finish ooo

Probz:


Where’s the evidence that egusi’s an exclusively Yoruba thing?

Probz:


Yoruba Igbo
Ogun Ogwu
Iba Iba

scholes0:


See someone who claims to have taken first in Yoruba language at his school arguing with me about the origin of Jedi Jedi.
lol first from the back of that class list maybe.
Either that, Or maybe your school was filled with Igbos only or complete Olodo yoruba boys and girls.

Reke and Alubosa are Hausa and Arabic words respectively- nobody is arguing that. It is so funny the way you keep bringing the unrelated Hausas into this discussion. Hausa language isn’t even Niger Congo yet I can still point to many Hausa terms of Yoruba origin.
Is there any Hausa word of Igbo origin? (just for curiosity)

Pls focus on the topic at hand or let the discussion end there like you already proposed.

Probz:


Yoruba Igbo
Ogun Ogwu
Iba Iba

BabaIbo:


mumu na the word you dey talk before?


don't change your point, check my reply to confirm I wasn't referring to the name and don't try to derail from our argument please

scholes0:


You werent referring to THE NAME? but please what is this thread all about pls?
Aren’t we all arguing about the origin of words here?

What were you referring to then? Mr referrer.

konoplyanka:


Lol so it's a shared word now?

Ok keep Sharing our words o.

BabaIbo:


you're the jobless one because your brother scholes0 just made a quote denying the fact that he didn't call efo spinach... I also asked an elderly yoruba woman here just to confirm and she said efo is edible leaves like I said that spinach is called efo amunututu... please do me a favor and stop quoting me...

BabaIbo:

Jide is more general than dide, Q.E.D

BabaIbo:


but you didn't remember this question when you digressed to talk about traditional medicine, ewuro, efo and others, right?

it's now that you remember that we should follow the thread or topic... typical yoruba boy(betrayals), I know how to handle your type...

scholes0:


Egusi sounds too Yorubaish me.
It was also listed in the compiled word list of the Yoruba language in our first modern dictionary.

Egwushi sounds Igbo though if you modify the spelling of Egusi to fit the Igbo way of articulating words.

“Egusi sounds too Yorubaish to me.”

Revolutionary evidence.

“Oyinbo sounds too Igbotic for me. Ogiri sounds too Igbotic to be shared with Yoruba. Akara sounds too Igbo.”

That way round and you’d have a heart attack. Or is it somehow different?

scholes0:


What is so Igbotic about Oyinbo and Akara?
Lol Akara that is rhe favorite food of was it Sango or one of these 5th century Yoruba figures.
Ogiri is under contention. That one might be an actual shared word from antiquity like Iba.


What is the Igbonword for masquerade?

BabaIbo:

Lair have you ever eaten a soup called ewuro soup before, if not don't quote me again please...

It was when igbos got to these place that they started cultivating those things here or maybe it was in the forest but they were not aware of its usefulness, even up till now there is no specific thing yorubas use ewuro for...

scholes0:

What is this one saying abeg? Whatbis the Igbo word for Agbero?
lol

Probz:


That’s exactly my point. If I said so heads would be rolling. But it’s alright for you to make sweeping Yoruba generalisations?

Egwu-egwu.

scholes0:
