some of these guys in sierra leone are igbo and yoruba slave descendants hence the higher proportion of igbo and yoruba names there.as for someone saying that it is because they like to name their children after african heroes abeg tell that to the birds.so all those igbo and yoruba middlenames are african heroes past?

Mukina2, you are really getting it all wrong. No Igbo here is trying to claim you or anyone. I really do not like the way you are turning things around. I find the whole episode educating, hence, I kept asking you the meanings of kanu and okoro in those languages.

Ofcourse, you keep running away from the questions in the guise that someone is trying to claim people.

You are becoming annoying and repetitive

She doesnt want you to claim her, go look for other people to claim,like the Jews, the Somalis, claim anyone but her and her people. Why is that difficult for you to understand?

Are you Ibo?
Re: We Have No Roots In Nigeria- Obi Metzeger, Ayo King by aljharem(m): 11:31am On Feb 13, 2011
mukina2, excanny is right. Can you answer the question about people with Kanu, Okoro, Obi etc with middle or surnames in Salone

it is actually very educative to know this things and learn about other countries since you have lived there undecided

We are waiting for your reply smiley smiley smiley smiley smiley

The truth is that the first Igbo bible was done in Isuama dialect in Sierra leone.The descendants of those Isuama people are still there.

There is no need to twist issues here in order to turn against Igbos.That is absurd and Mukina or whatever you call yourself should not try to re-write a documented history because it is too late.

Do you even know the meaning of 'Akpu'? It's a foreign food in Igboland.

Your folks in Ngbatiland eat it most. mou-mou.

I know but not to the extent of having a handful of people in freetown with Igbo names because of the reason You gave.

handful where? I can name 10/20 creole/oku/foulahtong people with yoruba names but ask me to name 10 with igbo sounding names i'll struggle to make 5. I only gave that example because you assumed my uncle is igbo related.

All through out school ,  the only igbo sounding name i knew was one chukwuemeka(sp)

ogini egebchi anya ibo kwenu! j/k

Some Salone people I  know have "oku" names and know what Oku is, but they dont know what yoruba is cause the name "Yoruba" is foreign from our lanuage created by the British for specifically Nigerians who speak the language. So what we say in Nigeria say is 'yoruba' if we want to be an ethnic group but others in other countries call it

Salone -Oku
Ghana- they might say Tabom or Oyo, Ilorin
Cuba- they might say Lucumi
Benin republic they might say Ajase, Ketu
Brazil they might say Nago, Aguda, also  Ketu

There are different type of yorubas peeps tho- dummies in Nigeria think we are all the same

Just like a fulani person in Nigeria will say they are fulani but in other countries people will identify with fula, peul, fulbe, bororo, fulfide, wodaabe

Coming from someone who said Okoro is not Igbo. If you can't make out 10 "Igbo sounding" names, I can do it for you.

The Okoro in Christopher Okoro Cole's name probably is because he had Igbo ancestry.

However, Okoro is not an exclusively Igbo name, just as Ojo is not an exclusively Yoruba name, though we often assume otherwise.

Another resounding blow to the already depressed claimappola spirit of the Igbos.

Michelle Obama is Igbo as well as Obama.

Anyway, one persons opinion does not change that of the thousands of Krio people who are prod of their Igbo ancestors.

"As recently as during the 1970s, some members of the Sierra Leone creole community continued to identify themselves as Igbo."

Dont tell me you believe that article?

It seems you are bent on claiming other people as your own. The article has no historical backup and it is replete with falsehood.

If that helps you psychologically, I can understand. Now dont go crazy on me ok?

PS: It really sucks to be you. Like I said, Hilary Clinton, I once heard, has some Igbo origin
