Abohboy: Yeah that maybe correct since iwo ẹlẹru is stated to be different from modern day yoruba, so it's an archaic human different from all modern day humans. 1 Like |

sherlock229: Why'd you add the trust me bro clause to my comment? Then proceed to agree with me? My claims are backed up by scholars and by science not by my opinion although it is possible that the middle belt could have the actual location of the oldest habitation in Nigeria seeing as multiple scholars claim it is the source of all modern day ethnic groups in Nigeria and with the Nok culture and all they could be right |

sherlock229:Iho eleru's fossil human has always being compared with Yoruba people's ancestor and not with all shade of modern mankind. This comparison has never yield any findings that shows connetion. Rather, the analysis on the bone showed no link with ancient Yoruba ancestors. Below screenshot is Iwo eleru(cave of ashes )

toyinid78: Omo means child in Benin, Adesuwa has nothing to do with "crown or Ade" as it is in Yoruba. An ethnic Yoruboid Edo Benin person is not representative of the regular Benin person. Please have enough understanding of Benin language and conventions before saying a name is Yoruba. An Edo person with a Yoruba mum may have a Yoruba first name. I know Benin people whose first name was given by a Yoruba or Igbo family friend or neighbour, grandfather/mother, in-law, etc. There was once a time when people related much better irrespective of tribe or religion. A lot of Benin and Igbo words are similar but I wouldn't say that one tribe or the other comes from the other. Our problem is that we are still high on the fallacy that this or that tribe came from Israel, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. The truth is that those Southern tribes were probably at one time together or at least very close neighbours before spreading East, West and South. Kogi/River Niger area is the most likely place where all were together. The Igbos probably migrated away first. For example, Igbo call Benin by the oldest name: Ndi Idu. Idu is considered the progenitor of Benin people. 1 Like |
