TAO11:
You’re trying too hard to be manipulative.

Also, why are you begging me to stop exposing you?

If what you want is a 1500s/1600s text written with the Latin/Roman/English scripts, it doesn’t exist.

But if what you request is a 1500s/1600s text written with Arabic/Ajami scripts, you have it up there.

Unfortunately, for you however, you’ve demonstrated to be illiterate in Arabic/Ajami. You cluelessly said the text says “Yor”. Lmao!

Not only do you have no clue of Arabic, you have also chosen delusions over reality by kicking against those (like John Hunwick, Fatima Harrak, et al. & even I) who have all informed you of what the Arabic (which you lack knowledge of) says — i.e. “Yoruba”.

But for some delusional reasons, you have chosen to belief that all scholars are trolling you. They’re all out against you. Scholars are out for LightOnScams. Lol.

John Huwnwick is trolling you. Fatimah Harrak is also trolling you. Even Akin Ogundiran is trolling you. I am trolling you. In short, all scholars who have accessed the text, and told you what’s there are trolling you.

Wait o, you actually started out by citing A. Ogundiran where A. Ogundiran was alluding to the fact that this very name “Yoruba” appears in these texts from the 1600s & 1500s. However, you claimed he said 1800s.

But when I called you out on your misattribution, you claimed you only made a mistake — in other words, you’re claiming to be aware that it’s actually 1600s & 1500s, or even earlier.

I knew you didn’t make no mistake. I knew you really tried to lie about the period. Now see how you’re back to your square-one which you had pleaded was only a mistake when I called you out on it. Your true color came out—i.e. Delusion×Dishonesty=LightOnScams.

As an appendix, please transliterate what I wrote in my attached screenshot if you can. I just wanna check something.

It has to do with the city of Ifẹ̀ which you have falsely attributed to Ibn Khaldun (who has nothing to do with Yorubaland). Please transliterate it. I’m waiting.

I told you that urchin must be Edo, once he said we should stop trying to claim Itsekiris who are actually part of us, I knew he's a bitter low IQ Edo urchin.. he might be the giddy guy with a new moniker.. He's nothing but a troll, he's not interested in learning, he just wants to troll. Stop engaging the clown.

I agree, when he said bring a text but not translated yet he can't translate the original. It was clear it's all a gimmick. He definitely knows the truth and wanted to pull legs. Seeing we are knowledgeable people here he falls short and just has to continue to pretend

I doubt he'll be back.

Great work ma! @tao11

I think I know you on Twitter bro, I appreciate everything you do to defend Yoruba race from these evil Edo urchins.. These people are everywhere spreading their propagandaa. The good news is there's ethnic nationalism growing among the new generation of Yorubas, it's a just matter of time, Edo people will be put in their place soon. Once I saw the line 'stop claiming Itsekiris' I don know say na Bini urchin.

lightonscam might not be bini..he might actually be from one of the groups in Yagba. But he is obviously suffering from some sort of complex, i mean...its obvious from the Yagba variant of Yoruba that he teaches. His sense of identity is muddled up and he is trying hard to fill the pseudo gaps he created to justify his delusions.

@TAO11, you are obviously a very intelligent person and am so proud of you. You are very well read and shows how hardworking and detailed you are. would like to learn from you

LightOnScams:

While we agree that Itsekiri being related to the Oyo Yoruba, why do you consider it a subgroup of a language far up North than others in the same SE language stock? We know why. The spread you talk about started with the Oyo/Ibadan military expansionism.

Personally and to many, the use of the term dialect to refer to Itsekiri is in many ways derogatory. Itsekiri, according to most, broke out earlier from the Proto-Yoruba-Iteskiri group just like the Igalas did earlier. Why force the subgroup term on them? I'm curious

So Itsekiri is related to Oyo than Iléifẹ and other settlement such as Ijebu, Ilaje, Bini,Igala etc ? Wonders shall never end on NL.

It was YRB actually. Only the vowels appear to be missing. I don't know the rules of Arabic writing, but I do know some early Semitic writings didnt make use of vowels, such that Yahweh was written YHWH.

Arabic uses diacritic like Yoruba to attribute intonation.

/ This is ALIF, it is positioned on top letters, never anywhere else. It produces Ah sound. Example - letter Y with Alif becomes YA.
B with Alif becomes BA, K with Alif becomes KA.


\ This is KASRA, it is on bottom of letters, produces the Ee sound. Examples are YI, BI, KI.

9 This is Waw, it sits on top of letters and produces Wu sound.
Examples are YU, BU, KU.

Beside these three, there are other sound diacritics. There are also diacritics for double vowels and vowel-less words.


For instance, to construct REDBONE

RDB<insert letter alif with letter waw here>N

Rdbawn written in Ajami ردباؤن

Arabic letters are read right to left.

We will fck 'em up. They are beasts rescued from forests, our ancestors put clothe on them and taught them civilization. After centuries of showing them the way, they refused and rejected our ways and hang on to their treacherous ways.

LightOnScams:
Because a language sounds similar to the general Yoruba does not mean it evolved from Yoruba .

I've heard ignorant comments like "Igala is from Yoruba", "Itsekiri is a Yoruba dialect", "Your Yoruba is not pure", etc.

Bro, STFU , especially if the language is in the east. They're probably older.

Hhm, i was wondering what was going on, whats genesis of the whole commotion on page 3, and now i found it.

Americans dont deny that their english dialect and accent is descendant of the English language written and spoken in UK. Nonetheless they identify proudly as American. In addition, they celebrate their founders root in Ireland.

Itsekiri speaks a version of Ijebu tongue that no longer exist in the Ijebu peninsula. Itsekiri is ancient migrant, they have existed in their domain much earlier than Oba dynasty was rooted in Benin. Benin Kingdom loved the sea.
A powerful force blocked Benin from acquiring sovereingty of the Bini river all the way down to its estuary in the seacoast. Itsekiri owns the coast today, as it always has.

They are Itsekiri today because they have always been independent and powerful, otherwise they would be a different identity now. The language they speak is Ijebu dialect of Yoruboid.

There is a Yoruba sub group in Anioma, Delta. Isolated due to migration but continues to thrive as a chipped-off copy of the original.
