laydoh: 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 |

konoplyanka: fool you should have asked me my perspective or point before jumping into the argument... I tackled him because he claimed jedi-jedi(as a illness and the cure) is originally from yoruba, even the name is self defined... jedi-jedi is yoruba word for pile which means Tari in hausa... you are the one daft here... we dived to jedi-jedi part because we were initially arguing on the originator of traditional medicine or pike cure in Nigeria and not about the naming like you're making it look... Go back to our previous quotes on page 6 to 7 and check... |

Probz: 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. 1 Like |

Probz: That guy is arguing from ignorance. Igbo and Yoruba words are very similar. We did it then in secondary school. They belong to the same linguistics in black Africa with some other tribes from southern Cameron. There are so many similar words does not mean each copied the other. 3 Likes 1 Share |

scholes0: “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? 3 Likes |

Probz: What is so Igbotic about Oyinbo and Akara? Lol Akara that is the favorite food of was it Sango or one of these 14th century Yoruba figures. Ogiri is under contention. That one might be an actual shared word from antiquity like Iba. What is the Igbo word for masquerade? 1 Like |

Probz: Baba probz I have always known you to be someone that diacusses on a high level of brain power (Intellectual discusser), so me and you can’t have any long lasting issues. Lets just try to iron some few things out and we will be fine - unlike some others on this thread. Honestly, I am not trying to psych you up or anything. Egwu as I know it to be isn’t a general igbo word, am I right? I thought Igbos generally call masquerades Mmanwu? Similar to the word Mmuo (spirits)? Egwu/Egun is of Yoruboid origin meaning masquerades , spirits or ancestors. 1 Like |

scholes0:We really need to look into African history which was majorly written by Europeans. It appears Igbos must have influenced Yorubas one way or the other because the frequency of etymological similarities is rather curious ... Ogwu and ogun - medicine Iba is clearly a traditional Igbo word for malaria...If Yorubas use it, they are doing borrow borrow... 5 Likes |
