Other networks that I know of have large population of grown ups, retirees, parent and so on. Their seminal is often about their products, wellness talk and compensation plans. It is very scarce to see people below 30 at these places. In fact my upline in greenword is a retired custom officer. He picked interest in me while I was discussing the GNLD and sinagog.

Godmother:
The GNLD drug in itself is not bad, although it doesn't perform the miracles you just listed ther. Lol . What is bad is these people painting the drug-selling opportunity as a job. They place adverts online for other job vacancies and invite you over. That's where the problem lies.

Well I dont hype. That was just like 70% of what the man said and what my friend shared with me. I've never been to GNLD, however, it is a reputable company and the only one using flyer for job placement to bait young and despirate prospects. Personally, I wont encourage anyone to do what I or they don't understand as a person, lest it boomerang and their end is worse than the beginning.

U see what I mean? Funny set of daft people. U really think truncating my post at that point would fool anyone?? smh4u

Feel free to vent your annoyance, I choose direct marketing consciously after reading numbers of investment books. Your resentments may be borne out of inability to learn something you don't understand. You never met me but you are fill with the perfect hatred for someone you don't know. That's sort of sickness. I wish you work on this area and be tolerant. God cares. Move up to your success, God bless.

See them... oga take several seats to the back joor. The op was even very polite. Ladies and gentlemen, last yr I had same experience in Owerri (that was during the NUC strike).

I and my pals located the place with some difficulty - a rented hall in owerri town. I spent over 300 blessed naira to get there.

Let me not bore u all with the ridiculous details because everything was almost exactly as the op described. The only difference was that there were many more (mostly naive) people, we were divided into groups, and there was no final process or test - we were told there and then to invest in gnld and be rich overnight.
I dont know why they didnt think of hiring a clean set of suits for their "speakers" so as to make them look the part at least, and help their hustle. The guy was telling us, "As I am here talking with u, I have money making for me in abuja, I have money making for me in Enugu, I have money making

I'm happy for you sir. You are welcome.

Yemisi63:
we have heard you Sir

Good to know.

Hillarious indeed. Sometimes back, we were discussing TB Josuah and miracles and healing for HIV. A man express a strong reservation. Then I narrated a story my friend told me about a broke hiv positive fellow who had been surviving on gnld product. when the gnld guy couldnt continue providing the drug for the hiv guy, he took him to sinagog and miracle happened, acodin to my friend. The man I was speaking to ask me to stop for a sec., he said once upon a time his wife was semi paralized and no drug prove effective until they tried gnld. my wife is so strong now thanks to those people, he said. I am not in gnld though a networker. It is a nitche of business, you may not like their idiosyncracies, it is not a scam sir, if it is gnld.

No one has been able to tell us the meaning of "yoruba"
Is it that it has no meaning or what?

For all we know "yoruba" might be an ancient cuss word (just kidding )

That's why I prefer being referred to as a Nigerian rather than a Yoruba

Sounds like the position of Femi Fani-Kayode in his article, titled 'who are the Yorubas' 3.

donroxy:
for real I don't know the Origin of the world ''Yoruba'' but I read it was Hausa folks that tagged us that way while some neighbour of ours were tagged ''Baruba'' .....

As for Oracle, it will point us there but only few if not non awo would decipher the ''ohun Ifa'' !!

Whatever sha , Kokan-Aye !!

Lets pay attention to this, our neighbour were called Baruba and we, Yoruba: all the people involve have ba as prefix for father while Ye is Yoruba prefix for mother. The Yoruba have Yaba, Ayaba and Yewa as their own lexicon, inbetween these titles lies the root of the word Yoruba. Hausa version, Yarba is akin to Yoruba's Yaba, a place name.

StarFlux:
Interesting thread as always.

Starflux ahoy! Good to see you back with us fella. I miss ya. Happy new month, hope to hear from you more about the homeland. Good fortune ahoy!

Ok then.

But lion king is not hard to come by though.

Yes, I was actually talking about district 9, that was the post I quoted last night, happy sunday tpia.

I am a son of Olofin Iseri, I am from Ado-Odo. I am proud of my Awori heritage, the heritage of seafaring. Kitigbe omo Oluwe wun? Odua a gbewa o. Ase.

tpia6:
^ bro, stop making destruction a part of your normal lexicon or else it will stay with you.

someone will greet you, you reply lukuluku lo ma pa e, someone says hi, you reply aye e lo ma baje, someone says ladi i love you, your response is may ebola carry you.


and you say you are better than somebody with short temper? How?

anyway, i assume your attitude is due to your experiences in life which you are yet to receive healing for.

just theorizig here.

Oh no. You miss the point. I am saying that I am short tempered and can't be a lier as a result. I like being open minded to a great extent. I would be careful with destructive words, thanks.

tpia6:
haba, why are you folks such inexperienced liars?


una dey snag women with these weak tales?

I know very well that lie is the way to go with women, but I dont tell lies because I can't beg for too long or stand the shame if caught. Truth is weakness, short temper cannot inhabit the same soul with lies, it is short cut to destruction. I'm telling the truth.

itstpia1:
you got this epiphany from lion king?


nice.

i better not ask if you've watched district 9 then.

I did not comment because the film is hard to come by, I give up.

I can't stream it online for my impatience. But I have had its plot online.

I wont mind a recap. At least I might refuel for the new dawn on the horizon.

We can't ever exhaust the pack of tricks.

Ladi ooooo

Where are you zeemore?

Why did you have to go?

Well I believe you will be back.

I believe you are a phoenix child.

Come back home babe.

With the night comes the moon,

with day comes beautiful sunlight.

When we are out of the day's light,

we may miss the resplendent sunshine.

Come back so the day can be renewed.

9jacrip:
Sir, I appreciate your time, input and patience but I need you to try and understand me.

My standpoint is not to shout one theory down in order to prop up the other. Rather, I am only interested in the most plausible and logical argument(s) which Egypt theory falls into considering the migration to sub-sahara due to desertification theory.

I don't quite get what you meant by 'elite' in the conext of your post but the Afro-Asia and Ife vpoints are worlds apart. One has verifiable facts encoded in the socio-political, socio-cultural, political economic and even socio economic systems while the other appears as mere fantasy and even suspect to being a means of proliferation of religion proselytization by drawing fraudulent relations between culture histories and source of Abrahamic religions.

A thorough study in Hausa language and its derivatives while considering a carefuly analysis of the relationship between Oyo (the actual Yoruba in this context) and the Hausa.

In one of your posts, you posited that Yoruba was the original name of the ethnic group in discussion and the Hausa only revived it. Can we apply this to Katunga as well to mean the original name for old Oyo and was merely revived?

Let us not make ourselves a laughing stock for other groups, let us not water-down our cultural history by making it offshoots of entirely different one that may not have recorded major feats up to par with what we have.



Tony baba, I hope you got my point, no knowledge or input is a waste sir, I just fear how unrealistic, uninteresting and un-scholarly it would appear if we tow the Afro-Asiatic line which may appeal to our minds due to word similarities etc but not necessarily give us any headway except corroborated in records of the Afro-Asians.

Hey 9jacrip, pardon my excesses please.

I think with the bolded, the limit to which we can go is set, lest we engage in unscholarly and unrealistic and uninteresting line of thought that may not give us any headway. Who am I to object? I believe in you, sir.

I also believe that looking to where some of us are not comfortable with is scholarly aberration, and that the masters who choose what is pleasant must be pleased. They are right on arrival. Having dissent view is appalling.

I understand your sentiment 9jacrip. How can we have Ife and some folks will still look about to AfroAsia? You are making a rule but breaking the rule: is it a must that Yoruba comes from AfroAsia, is it a must that Yoruba comes from Ile-Ife? The point is, both tradition were sourced from the same matrix. Trying to silence one only to announce the other is creating imbalance, meaning Yoruba (did not) originate at both places. The elites gave us both origin. Now what was the name of the empire of Ile-Ife that the name Yoruba overshadowed when it became Yoruba identity in the 1830s? It is only something that does not exist that has no name.

Singing

I know what you're doing

Want to see some Yoruba stuffs on frontpage for weekend feeds. Its now you know.

Chiwude:
To be unbiased, the word 'Yoruba' has its etymology in the Hausa language. It means people under the Oyo imperial lands.

The Yoruba are close kin of the Hausa at some remote age, so the name Yoruba was not Hausa invention but a Yoruba memorable word that has fell to disuse long ago among the Yorubas as the peoples population increases and cities were built. But the name had stuck with the Hausas as the identity of the southern people. At the advent of colonialism, the name Yoruba resurfaced to replaced other Yoruba's trial-names.

meanwhile there is lead to that metaphisical's opinion.

Euroba is a moon goddess of some sort to the Semites.



"There is likewise in Phœnicia a temple of great size owned by the Sidonians. They call it the temple of Astarte. I hold this Astarte to be no other than the moon-goddess. But according to the story of one of the priests this temple is sacred to Europa, the sister of Cadmus.

She was the daughter of Agenor, and on her disappearance from Earth the Phœnicians honoured her with a temple and told a sacred legend about her; how that Zeus was enamoured of her for her beauty, and changing his form into that of a bull carried her off into Crete.

This legend I heard from other Phœnicians as well; and the coinage current among the Sidonians bears upon it the effigy of Europa sitting upon a bull, none other than Zeus. Thus they do not agree that the temple in question is sacred to Europa."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_%28mythology%29


The Yoruba are close kin of the Phoenicians and the Greeks and the Egyptians, they have lived in proximity with these people in the past before their migration. As such, Egypt and Greek as place names has fossilized in Yoruba language till date.

Daughter of Agenor?

Ajanor, Aje-nor that word means wayfarer in Yoruba. It is easy to understand the fact that most of these ancient people have common heroes and do a lot in common, so part of their stories are meshed with what becomes "our traditions" as time went by.

Also in the wiki piece above, it is said that Europa disappeared to Crete with Zeus.

The point is, Europa may be a facsimile of Yoruba migration celebrated in the oral tradition of the land after migration, which then is anachronistically absorbed into the legends of the gods and Zeus centuries after the event.

To me however, Yoruba is a name of a historic matriarch.

TonySpike:
I have two suggestions:

YORUBA could be the corruption of the word EUROPA. Thanks to metaphysical.

Secondly, YORUBA could be related to the combination of the word ORU and BA. In ancient Egypt, ORU Is the chief deity known as HORUS and BA meant HEAD. So, Yoruba could mean "Head of Horus".

Suggestions are welcome!

Very many thanks Tony Spike, it's been a long time. Perhaps good times are here again.

I can only hope Metaphysical come on the board to share his findings after many days.

I'm not too keen on the the Egyptian theory of the Yoruba origin, but the going will soon get tough as usual.

Lets keep moving as we await other learned men of the forum to come along. Maybe we will have more insight to ponder upon.

Meanwhile I picked one up from a thread somewhere where Rosike allude to Euroba as where there is no sun or sunset. He said this has

its origin among the Akkadians, who sees the west as Erebu. Maybe from this Europe was born. However, the Greeks have Europa, a daughter of the king of tyre and the lover of Zeus.

On the Akkadian version now: that word has some sort of Yoruba orientation, E re bu, it goes to the horizon. Ibu is the opposite of Oro. Ibu is

frontal view while oro is upward view of a plain or measurements in Yoruba.

Yoruba is the name by which the south-western people of Nigeria and her Diaspora are known. This effort is an attempt at getting to the root of the eponymous name ‘Yoruba’. What could this ancient word mean?

The fact that the term ‘Yoruba’ has not really been studied in order to be decrypted shows that perhaps, less is gong on as research geared towards understanding the checkered Yoruba history at this era in time.

The onus lies on us to investigate as deeply as possible the meaning of the mysterious name Yoruba so as to learn from its secrets. This present title is the most recent effort at understanding Yoruba history from new breed of writers.

Tan mo o?
ko wa so.

The Yoruba originated in Ile Ife, according to Yoruba tradition.

Ife Moore Mope.

The word Ife is Yoruba homonym for love, and the mantra of Ife is 'onife abure' that is,

'whoever has love will attract friends'.

May this love work for Yoruba, Naija and her people.
