The mecca bullshit doesn't make sense chronologically since our exposure is 7500 to 10000 years ago. Islam is a relatively new religion. Our arrival here predates the founding of all that mecca BS by approximately 5000 to 7500 years.

Cultures also influence each other and correlation isn't necessarily causation.

Neanderthal didn't roam around in Africa.

Nobody said otherwise.

People came to join the Yoruba people but there was no time the Yoruba were nomads from the inception of time to the present moment. There is no such account in our oral history or in the Ifa corpus. The Yoruba were never nomads

Hence the extraneous vocabulary in our language ?

OPCNAIRALAND:


Im a new.comer.to these discussions and like ive told you before dont involve me in all that Egypotologist and Canaanite and Mecca and Mondiana nonsense....I just think though that we must not.close our minds to these talks, however craxy they may appear at first drop.

What im getting so far is this:

For every content in the Yoruba culture, rites of worship, deity and.cosmic belief a mirror image exist in two places, 1) in Yorubaland; 2) in Eurasia.

For each located in Yorubaland a corresponding cognate is found in Eurasia. Similarly for every concept and item of divinity or political practice linked in Eurasia, a matching pair is found in Yorubaland.

The challenge is which one of these two was the original home. There should be no argument at all on whether or not Yoruba had footprints in Eurasia....its a given! We should query which of the two was our sojourn and which is ancestral home.

I hope im correct.

I would have thought the above quote would have streamlined or shape discussions from all sides into focus.

Stop it Sir. The ancient Yorubas were nomads. Being nomads has nothing to do with barbarism. If you doubt, why remigration outside of ILEIFE? Ponder over it.

since people landed from outer space our people have been living in towns under Kings, there was no time our people followed cattle about like the bororo do today. We were never nomads

Well, No sir, because the Yoruba ancestors who developed the idea of survival theory through their invention knew the complexity of the world. Unfortunately you and others underestimated the word of ‘SHEPHERD' . DÁ ÉRÁN is an ancient Yoruba word and without yoruba ancestors being Shepherds,such lexicon will not emanate. Beside, advanced knowledge of ancient Yorubas made them domesticated some animals during the olden days. Have you suddenly forgotten this idea?

Infact when the Yoruba ancestors were domesticating animals and rearing them ,others didn't realise there were difference between the hunting and rearing. You see ignorance has made a lot of people see things with over spiritual eyes because there is nothing like people from outer space. In fact the most archived information in Ifa Corpus does not have anything as outer space of Yoruba people but migration information.

so because Shepherd is in our vocab it means our people were nomads? The ugbo are called omo atorunwo, children of those who landed from outer space. Even the Bible in Genesis talks of people landing from outer space

Shepherd staff is Opa Ashe in Yoruba land. Hence Yoruba were nomads but not in the form of the ones you see today which you see among Fulanis. The nomads are the ba alawos, princes, warriors, citizens etc. In fact, the old Hebrew didn't rear animals as you might think inform of wandering about like the herdsmen but take them to places for feeding and stray them back to their base for another time.

Ato'hun rinwa is not about Coming from the outer space but a distant land. Unfortunately, it is a derogatory word used on some uncultured strangers who want to lay claim or feel superior to the indigenous people that owns the land the strangers lives.

The giants you mentioned are not specifcally about outer space people but born giants on earth by people who were Godly but became wicked . Have you not seen in the days of Jesus when he said, ‘You are gods'. Is this different from the son of gods? So, If you read the Bible in the context of literature book, then you will interpret it from the angle of bestseller but if you can read it carefully and understand the Bible from the spiritual angle then you will see it as a sacred book and its figurative speech will make a meaning to you.


Cheers.

Vocabulary arguments are as weak as a limped dick. Languages of people change in less than 100 years. Focus on DNA not some half assed linguistic connection

corect but even in the absence of dna evidence(although there is), linguistic attempts should be thorough and methodical not something like 'television' is 'tell a vision' that clowns do on this forum
