Happy Yoruba New Year! The new year is according to the IFA Calendar.

Happy new year to us all

Igba odun, odun kan ni fun wa. Odun a ba odun lowo wa.

IFA religion should be the national religion of Yoruba

I find it interesting that a comment on this tweet said that ILE IFE was founded in Yoruba year 10,063, and we've had 7 Ifes since then. Meaning we are far past 10,063 Anyone know about this?

And his tweet lead to a link that showed that scientists recently discovered that Yoruba DNA is archaic and predates modern homo sapiens, being up to 1 Million years old!

Specifically, by comparing the genomes of 405 West Africans with Neanderthal and Denisovan genomes and applying computer modeling, Durvasula and Sankararaman have discovered that contemporary Yoruba and Mende people derive between 2 to 19 percent of their genomes from this mysterious archaic hominin. In terms of averages, 6.6 percent of the Yoruba and 7 percent of Mende genome sequences are archaic, they calculate.

Durvasula and Sankararaman deduce that the mystery hominin split from the Homo line about 625,000 years ago (mean), though their margin of error is again stupefyingly wide: 340,000 years to 1.02 million years.

Up to 19% of Yoruba DNA is attributed to an unknown archaic DNA source?!? Jesus! We really need our scientists to look more into this because that's not a small number.

You know about this @christistruth01?

Same to you

Nice one, but I thought Yoruba New year is about April and May

Yoruba is mystery ...time for the birth of a nation.

Britain knows who we are.They are intentionally caging us using fulanis

Very much so. They are conniving and purposeful in this endeavor.
