macof:How is it part of tradition? Care to explain? 2. Amazement, fascination.. That is what draws people to pseudohistory. A historian such as myself would not take what someone obviously made up as historyGuy you have no clue what you want. How can you make claim for a man in two opposite directions? Oke ora? Heaven, sky? I already know your escape route. One was his manifestation as god and as man later ![]() That should be tenable to a hypnotic historian like you. It's your way of escape. What level of interpretation did you employ to get beyond all other possible meaning and arrive at the fact? What if it's "Oduduwa a tewon ro"? That is, "one who descended from the prison"? . What stops you from viewing it from all possible angle? |
macof:When I told you that you are a plaigerising lot claiming to be historians, you were all like you are the best thing that ever happened to Yoruba history. But here you all came for the bait because you wanted empty glory you never laboured for. Again macof, you are a pure serpent parading himself as an expert.i thought you claim "critic" is what you do best? You can post the other info about oke ora, via Wikipedia but this tradition is not fit for public consumption, but the moment you saw my book, you became the advocate of the core truth you are hiding. Don't you have brain enough to see I gave the very same interpretation you are submitting afresh before you did? So what's your excitement? That's called afterthought. In fact you are a very clever clown. When you make your claim to Oke ora, I asked you for a core tradition on Oduduwa, you came up with festivals, rituals and rites of Ife. I told you to let heaven be heaven and that you are turning the tradition of Oduduwa coming from heaven to Oke ora urban legend. You came back claiming all sorts. Now that you saw my book, kia lo gbe oke ora ju sile, Erin fee pami So you know this but hide it from the public?Can you see you are still confused? Can you please validate the tradition of descention of Oduduwa with fixed oral tradition from Ifa? At least you are the historian. A tradition that has been in a culture for long should gather debris and become an enigma. A self acclaimed historian who picked up such and relay it the same way is not fit for the job. Things are not the way they seems. |
macof: TAO11:Great |
My error, I forgot to put "West African" as "asset" in Yoruba history. It's another historical phrase plucked from Yoruba antiquity. That phrase is pregnant with "History". ![]() |
illicit:Great effort bro, However I think you may have missed some great points that your oriki is meant to communicate to the historian. My take is "... where they kill their [errant] child with a golden sword at Osi Asise". That would be the closest possible interpretation of the line in question. Osi Asise The left (West) side of town where offenders are beheaded. It may be in this present town or somewhere else altogether. That the place exists will help the kids obey their parents and abide by the law of the land, such that the community is policed with the dread of the west side of town. Omo Owa The descent of the seekers. The Owa were an ancient guild of empire builders of Yoruba that many household in Yoruba trace their descent. Granted, Ilesha was their capital, but the folks like every other cohesive guild at the founding era have members that sought and settled wherever they liked on the good land with their immediate family. Hence we often have people says that they came from so and so, meaning that the family descended from a member of a group that may have camped elsewhere originally. From here we have the splinter group. I mean, Angelique kidjo may claim that her grandmother's mom or so descended from ibadan yet that link may be thousand of years. It could mean that Dahome and Ibadan have premordial link. The same reason the egun (Ajase) would claim to have descended from Oyo. Then one individual from Ajase will claim his great grandpa travelled from Oyo royal family and then hunted in the bushes and built a house and the place now became a town. Then he will recite the oriki which will surely turned out part Yoruba part egun, and one may be lucky to pick something regal from it also. We could map the horizon today but that was not possible in the ancient times. The Yoruba device the oriki as tracer for Yoruba bloodlines. It's worth our review because it also gives hints about how the ancestors lived and how much they knew back then. It helps us to be wiser. |
Victory belongs to God. |
Jman06:Tell me something. May the protection of God be certain over us. |
In a thousand years you will go in circles with this guys without a finish line in sight. All they want is to make the subject "inconclusive". They never made you study Yoruba history through "Yoruba indeginous knowledge", because they don't have any idea a knowledge like that exists. The irony is to go through modern "Oyinbo scientific knowledge" as proxy to "Yoruba history". You never get to learn anything Yoruba from this folks. Their treasure or assets are foreign words and phrases like lower guinea, Bantu, Niger Congo etc that has no interpretation in Yoruba. Isn't that "Historical colonialism" or "whitewashed" African history by folks blaming others for inferiority complex? So what is the difference at the end? That's fake history bro. Fake history from precision machines and Pittsburgh hoaxes. Why not employ Yoruba tradition to tell the white man's history? We are not dinosaurs of Sahara, we don't have to be discovered from electronic apparatus, we can tell our history the way tradition put it. We need no 40 million of years ago to be proud of. Just allow Yoruba tradition speak as your DNA and other precision machines speaks too That's all. ![]() |
Jman06:You know that the Italian football championship generates crowd in their stadiums, that's the springboard for the disaster. We don't have that kind of gathering here at this time, and then the weather and the Divine hand. If we don't have any alternative, we'll use natural herbs. I believe that till scientifically proven cure is hatched, we must depend on nature. |
Jman06:Bro, just assume that the index case that got recorded is the Italian and from there, others began to be closely monitored. However, the issue has penetrated (earlier than this) from community level. Already, the disease has been spreading without check. The informal index case cannot be traced by anyone, so anyone sick at this time Is a suspect. If I've had fever in few weeks ago, I am a suspect too. Let's say Lagos State was quick at raising alarm about her covid19 cases, compare to Kano. It would be difficult tracking Kano confirmed cases now. It's not about the equipment but poor monitoring and management of cases as they unfold. Just before it gets out of hand. The level of awareness in Lagos will help a Lagosian to be more conscious of the pandemic and alter it's spread than where the disease is handled with kids gloves. Let's build strong immunity, it's our lives, not government. Let's follow due process as instructed. It's well. |
OgbanjeProphet:You have a good point there. But the question is, what did they do right? Let's attend to our immune system. We need no government to tell us that. We shall all share our testimonies at the end. |
Spot the "phone" has it. I just spotted the phone. It's not a physical phone, it's the word. |
MetaPhysical:Our 'historians' here complained rather than do the job. One was asking how long it took me to make a post? Is that one an avid reader? We are working with ancient masterpieces in Yoruba and Levant linguistic tradition, he created a "mockry piece" as "just a junk" as usual. And his brother said it's born out of "knowledge". Because if imagination is greater than knowledge, then his brother is right. These are foolish lots. Imagination is volume of knowledge that could ever be, which is infinity. Knowledge however is the capacity per individual to tap from this volume scientifically or otherwise. One claims he has taught me bantu and lower guinea. The same person claiming Yoruba is his only identity. What should we believe? So what about his other bantu and lower guinea identity? How does that flow into Yoruba history? There's no single example of what it's like. You give precept, you give examples. Examples helps the mind understand precept. Examples is actually the root of the original precept. The man you quoted is here with another complaining system. No new thing will be here for another long wasteful back and forth. |
RamessesIV:I have served up to this point. Thanks for telling me my error. Now whinnying got us this far. Make a difference, start right and teach people the truth. I've not rob you of your chances. History is not about me, you can teach without two to tango. Sorry if I've wronged you. Leave me out of it and teach. |
ekitimanalways:LOL, Well I didn't finally settle down with my AkwaIbom gf. I miss her though. I eventually married an Ijebu woman. Things fall apart the year I decided to get married by fire by force with nothing in my pocket. My lady said her bride price was 500k and some emoluments here and there. She's a princess. My brothers came and asked about my marital plans and I shared my plans with them. My immediate elder brother can be funny, when he learned that I'm rooted for uyo. He said the marriage would have hold before we get to Akwa ibom for the distance. My eldest brother na die. Bunch of funny people got me realize I'm too broke for the journey. So I did proposed but really broke. My lady can't wait. I considered someone in my church. Well I targeted three ladies in my church. I was getting familiar with them. One was green. The following week, they stole her phone. Someone close to me complained about our age difference. Then a brother in the Lord suggested my would be wife. I said no, she has almost the same attributes as my first crush. Well I know she won't agree but just to prove to the woman who said she's my wife (ab initio) wrong that she's not. I approached my wife. But before then I saw another babe in the church, she's so beautiful. And we've been having eye contact lately. She sat beside me in a program and I was wearing a nice cologne and my handwriting is really nice. Also I got an award around the time. Her dad is rich though. Her dad knows that guys are not smiling at that parish and broke guys' menace add-join. All eyes on his daughter. Just now now the lady is heading to Canada. But she had a crush on me. I know she did. Because of her look when news of my marriage plan broke. I've felt the same way earlier too for another lady in the church that I like. Although I admire that rich bae but would have lose. She and my wife were both climbing down on the staircase the day I wanted to open the file for one of them, then I was at the balcony and I said "beautiful ladies". My wife is a real beauty and brain just like the first lady I asked out earlier. It's what I was running from that I settled with. Now in that marriage, I was once broke, but now I have peace and financially stable. I've earned respect with many folks around me for this. I make some enemies too. Please the crust of my yarn is this: don't wait to be rich. Your success could come from your marriage. I didn't leverage on whatever my wife had, she never worked in 4 years. But I think God blessed me through her prayers and supports. As for my Uyo bae, it's long I've heard from her. I believe she's doing well too. I wish her all the best in life just as myself too. She will always be my sister. As for my original crush, she allowed the way things were then to inform her decision and her mom never helped matter. She encouraged her to marry up which is good, but it backfire because her daughter eventually married late, not sure she had her taste. If you want the doctor, you can be the doctor too. Her desire is to marry a doctor, but the husband turn out to be a graphic designer. The Mom was late, business is not as it used to be. Everything is in the hand of God sha. |

MetaPhysical:Very well bro. Vertical from generation to generation, horizontal by how the custodians of oriki has spread and improved upon the information handed down in their new abode. What I've found so far is that oriki has proven to be scientific: it's a tradition built on cogent and genuine information. Then it's a guide. When the students are ready then the teacher will appear. The place names you've listed are the group that formed what became known as Yoruba today. Ife, Ado, Cutonu (meaning perilous mariners), Ilesha, Oyo etc, in no particular order. From what you have posted, we'll re-exermine some words that can be considered stickers because they've stacked on since inception. A good instance is Iwase. Its the best way to start, hence I've keep track with it. I will be back. |
MetaPhysical:Quite nostalgic! I've just read your post on the oriki, great insight as usual. I have a co-discussant in you. I think Whydeh is François for Awanden, which in fon means Awan (penile, warfare) deh (tough). By this, Whydeh means battle strong. The peoples oriki confirm the obvious: wanganvi, pekonu. Alojehvi, alojeh mapekoh. Wanganvi means "scion of the war head". Somehow the Yoruba have equivalent for the word whydeh, Alakija, ikijah, battle strong. The earliest form of this pertains with Elekiyah. That's Beyoja. The oriki I cited belonged to poenu, the people of the lion or feline (omo ekun) similar to the egbas' igbedu ekun tofitofi, omo ekun to tirutiru. |
macof:There is a source where your itemized points were derived, stop taking people for a fool, give them the substance that informed your conclusion. Giving a sketchy points afterwards your conclusion is drawn insult every reader as being incapable of making conclusion on their own. Now, this is fresh, put the traditions you are referring to up here. You made the claim, the burden of proof is now on you. |
macof:It's not scientific if not repeated twice. Every culture sharing this tradition should be family all across the world, not just lower guinea: by this token, every culture claiming God were family. Because Sargon and Moses shared the same tradition of birth, then the two historical figures should be the same. Because Bible and Epic of Gilgamesh talked about flood, then Noa and Utnapishtim should be the same and both Summer and Semitic culture should merge. Because the Hebrew claimed to be descended from Jacob and Esau, their story should be combined with Romans who descended from Romulus and Romus, because they were twins too. You can see how I mentioned names and places here, stop your stupid superficial copy and paste nonsense. You copy stuffs and make it your own. Knowledge is different from information. |
MetaPhysical:B'Oloun bati fota eni han ni, kolee pani mo. My brov I'm pressing forward, I'm happy you find time to check out your hommies here, omo abule s'owo. Our Igbo friends are striving to help us fix our history in proper linguistic "ancestry" made possible through precision machines and linguistic theory. May we not be a spectator in our own history. It's not straight about Ad but the clues derivable from it has really helped in decoding idumea and related ideas. |
Work out your history and allow the Yoruba work out her history. You can explore the "we" relativity the way you like but "we" don't share common original tradition, so explore science for your "Igbo" history. macof:Kindly assume I know what's on my mind for once if you are clueless about my point. I know exactly what you want to do here: I didn't say "traditional thought" if that's what "common tradition of origin" means to you. How hhypnotism works Earlier, all I said is that the Yoruba and Igbo doesn't share common tradition of origin. Tradition of origin to me is how a people claims they originated. But the hypnotist created a different phrase to take us from my point to somewhere else he can do the kill. Once done, he can party with the Igbo man he is backing up and they can have party after party, party after party after party sort of things. Meanwhile, this is a man who did not provide any indigenous proof of connection between Yoruba and Igbo, but whose slander phrase "traditional thought" is the joker The joker is meant to do the talk while I do the proof. At the end he has brought nothing to the table but kindled my fire to devour me. But there's something foundermental. Communication Theory One of the basic theory in communication that we learned at school was that information derived from a source, then travel through s channel to a destination. I am the source of ikoko and okoro, macof is the channel, he adds nothing to it for like, 8 years. Here is the destination. Effective communication generates feedback. Mr. Daramola (para) would say.By this, my claims are effective. Knowledge emanates from a source, it travel through a channel as information. If macof is knowledgeable, he should draw from his own resources. But no, he wanted to hypnotise and take us from the issue to a smokescreen where he can laugh with his brother doing nothing. |
macof:Be whatever you like to be, you are a pretender with excuses you will never take from anyone as you can see in your response. I don't have to put you to shame about this, you are helping me to putting yourself in perpetual shame on autopilot every time. Why do what your enemy will do against himself for him? The fire of my enemies shall devour them. Just let me handle the complicated part. |
macof:Yes I said that years ago, probably 7 or 8 years back. I said now that Igbo doesn't share common tradition of origin with the Yoruba in the simple sense that Oduduwa will appeared in their tradition. By this token, I respect the uniqueness of Igbo tradition as different from Yoruba tradition. If I know nothing about it, the limitations are mine not Igbo tradition. That difference extends to the uniqueness of Yoruba tradition too. If an Igbo man doesn't know a thing about Yoruba tradition, its not the limitations of tradition but that of the fellow. The methodology inherent in this scenario is the principle of Set. We do not share common tradition of origin. So on our original circle, Oduduwa is part of Yoruba property that does not extend to Igbo or others. However, we were not neighbors by accident. Whatever we shared with every other culture at our neighborhood (or beyond, as the case may be) with each having the same explanation is the "intersection" property so to say. That property is what I mean by relativity: whatever it is we have in common with the Igbo or any of our neighbors. I am not dealing with the intersection, but with the unique Yoruba tradition. Yoruba history is already established... So you know that? Yet you have attacked the establishment of yoruba history for years, trying to rubbish it and turn Yoruba to Hebrew descendantsYour sickness is assuming my inferences to twist my point to your information. Whatever you know multiplied by the fact that you are not Yoruba but pretending to be one equal to ZERO. |
MetaPhysical:Yes bro, quite a while. Hope you are good bro? Thanks so much for your interest. I believe you have read my findings on the Ad? Great knowledge is infective. You see that they are incapable of addressing the issue questioning their identity. Even the most callous criminal breaks when you get them, imagine if they were the ones having that to use against you. They will turn the anger to something else and you must be careful not to play their game, just keep the cool to see where else they want to hide. It's for the destroyer to find a prey. The point is already made, only a fool wallow in their kind of polemic. Macof and ihumadinuoju were both Igbo, they needed Yoruba to be what they claimed for a purpose. But can a total stranger become authority on Yoruba history? They were "phantom authority". They will strive but end up in shame at the end. The end is the progression of now. |
kayfra:Your need to be invincible is without end. Read again Igbo man, I'm not playing your game. |
kayfra:Ihumadinuoju "We" doesn't work in Yoruba/Igbo history. Work out your history and allow the Yoruba work out her history. You can explore the "we" relativity the way you like but "we" don't share common original tradition, so explore science for your "Igbo" history. Oko kii je ti baba at'omo k'oma laala. Yoruba history is already "well established" on scientific "ground" and thus, not needing your "scientific" theory to function. You don't understand this "BLINK" about Yoruba history as ingrained in her culture. That's what the thread is all about. |
kayfra:Have you seen what prejudice confused you to believe? What does this say of your collective IQ? The same way it has far reaching effect on your collective psychology. I've told you before that you are fading off into thrash and vulgarity. |
kayfra:Igboman, Is this the best you can do? ![]() |
macof:Guy why are you like this? You clutch to any flimsy opportunity like your life depends on it. But let it be another person, you cry the ocean. I am absolute success, ladionline, prexios and 2prexios. Do I need to always remind you? Are you clear now? |

. What stops you from viewing it from all possible angle?
