TAO12:
Hahaha!

Gregyboy being agitated and on the defensive for being exposed to be one and the same person as Edeyoung. lmao!

Moving on, your claim that the deity "Olokun" is indigenous to Benin is just as absurd as claiming that "Samudradeva" (the Indian deity) is indigenous to Benin.

Just as the words "Olokun" and "Samudradeva" have absolutely no meaning in your Edo language, they therefore can never possibly be indigenous.

The former (Olokun) is indigenous to Yoruba, and the latter (Samudradeva) is indigenous to India.

I challenge you to break down the word "Olokun" into its components parts and then give the Edo analysis of each component (if any).

He will soon come to tell you Olokun is shining okun or red okun (after all red is sacred in Edo culture). He and gregboy think alike. awkward.

TAO12:

Hahahaha! He is the same person as gregyboy I have exposed him already.

babtoundey:


He must surely be. They sound and think alike.

Tell why i should believe yoruba own account of ownership of olokun against the scrrenshot edeyoung gave

babtoundey:


Why wouldn't you believe the account you cited? You cited it and you believe it even when it has weak and untenable backings
Anyways you are asked to give the meaning of olokun, ogun, esu etc in Edo language. People here have given you accurate analysis of their meaning. Many may even volunteer to delve into giving you the Yoruba eulogy of those gods.
Try and convince us in your own way. Just don't try the same tricks you played with the meaning of the word oba. Nobody will buy that nonsense. All those unagreeable terms like shinning Seki, it's red, it's shinning you used to analyse "oba" are awkwardly appalling.

gregyboy:
Tao11 is busy matching two different account i guess she is just one step to full time madness

TAO12:


A deity which you have absolutely no name for in your native tongue was certainly imposed on you by others -- 100%.

"Olokun" was introduced to the Edo people by your closest Yoruba neighbours -- The Itsekiris.

"Olokun" [from the Yoruba words "Olu-Okun" -- "Lord of the Sea"] is a Yoruba deity with a Yoruba name.

We also alternatively call it by the name: "Umale-Okun", or "Imale-Okun", or Umole-Okun, or "Imole-Okun"; meaning "Spirit of the Sea".

All these are pure Yoruba words. Stop attaching screenshots from Edo blogs and fraudulently passing them off as academic materials.

If you didnt want a debunk, why did you open the thread?

Bring an independent, non-edo source for this info on Olokun.
...and please hurry up!

Gayboy aka Edeyoung, stop clowning you've been exposed beyond damage control.

TAO12:


No amount of damage control can remedy the damage.

Forget it, you've already been exposed to the whole world as someone with bipolar disorder.



Hahaha! To think this is coming from someone who doesn't know where the Edos/Binis originated from.

You, particularly, have suggested different roots for your ancestors including.

Different roots/origin for Edos such as Nupe, Igala, Itsekiri, Udo, and even Birnin-Kebbi.

Having said that, stop passing off screenshots from your Edo blogs as academic materials.

Even your Edo blog screenshot (as junk as it obviously is) dared not identify "Olokun" as originating ab-initio from the Binis.

Notice that all your brothers and sister whom you called upon for help did not show up.

They've all actually forsaken you to continue your back and forth clown-jumping from "Edeyoung" to "gregyboy".

My question to you, which you're afraid of addressing, still remains as follows:

How come your supposed deity has a foreign name if it was indeed indigenously Edo?

What happened to its supposed indigenous Edo name?

BabaRamota1980:


Which includes forbidding them, at all ages, to wear clothes until he has given permission. If you see a 30yr old man or woman clothed, it is so because Omo Oba told them they can cover up, otherwise they dare not appear in public clothed.

Thank you gregyboy, for proving my point that the Edos/Binis truly worship Yoruba deities -- e.g. Olokun among others.

Please keep more proofs coming. Thank you, thank you!
