odumchi: Many of these "facts" are quite questionable...

ShyM-X:
^^^^Nri Priest, I see you've stopped stalking the Yoruba's - it's now back to stalking the Ijebu's, no?

TerraCotta:

These guys are looking for your attention. There's a whole thread full of fantasies and hyperbole about their group but they don't seem to have any interest in that. You're better off reading and then writing about (verifiable) Ijebu history and culture if you're that passionate about it.

ShyM-X:
Don't derail the thread...

You should be able to state which ethiopian tribe you're referring to, since ethiopia in itself covers many different ethnicities.

Amharics generally have a very distinct horner look, maybe you mean the afars or one of the other negro tribes present there.
