Yoruba has a calendar. Google would have helped you.
Lol. Over here nobody needs Google. I stayed in yorubaland they don't have Native names for days of the native weeks for local markets.
Please compare. See igbo days of the week and the corresponding days of oyibo week.

The point and some other people's point on this thread is that: It is NOT only Igbos that have a pre colonial calendar. Shikena. All this whether Yoruba, Nupe, Kanuri, Ijaw, Isoko, urhobo, Itsekiri, Hausa or Fulani market or not is secondary.

That makes you either a liar, an ignorant person, or even a tribalist. It could be any of the 3 or a combination of 2, or just 1 lol. For the benefit of doubt, If it's just you being ignorant i.e. Not aware of the fact, just apologize for goofing with the "only" in your original post.

Story, as if you know much about other ethnicities.

Let me give you good example
Most popular market in Maiduguri is The Monday Market
Most popular market in Nnewi is Nkwo Nnewi
The most popular market in Awka is Eke Awka

Kanuri has no native week, no other ethnicity in Nigeria has well known names for days of the week

No be only Google. Same Google that gave another twelve calendar month.
Those rubbish were created by a academic revisionist post colonial.

When we tell them Igbo nation represents enlightenment, they call it chest beating. The fact remains, the igbos were the first to identify the concept of chromosome; this is the first step to civilization, a way of identity.

Only Igbos have a very accurate pre colonial native calendar.

Because you stayed in the SW don't mean you know jack about the culture of the people there. Your lie in the bolded to remind you why you were called out
