Funny country. We've always known that all the buzz about Igbo Hebrew heritage from Yorubas is envy and nothing more.

Most of the West Africans are one people. Nigeria is the dispersal point of the bulk of people that spread through the sub Sahara.

The Hausa forms the bulk of people in the Northern Nigeria. These people can be found as far as Niger, Ghana e.t.c as indigenous people.

The Yoruba forms a bulk of people at the southern Nigeria, the Yoruba sub-ethnic groups can be found as indigenous people of Benin Republic, Togo, Ghana and Sierra Leone pre-colonial era.

The Igbo forms the bulk of the people in the south eastern Nigeria, the Arochukwu have a good connection with the Cross riverians and the Bantoid group that spread down towards Congo and south Africa right from time.

Now the Yoruba group have in its antiquity a primordial relationship with the Hausa, and the Yoruba tradition attest to this as it says "Aina o, keke lo gun, l'Hausa lo ti wa". Not only this, the tribal mark was invented as means of identification, the Gobir (gongobiri) in Hausa bears identical tribal marks with their Yoruba counterpart in their own fashion.

Yoruba is a variant of Bariba.

How many West African countries have their people fanning into other neigbouring country as Nigeria?

another source right?

My point may not be good enough for you, why not do your own research sir?

Please, do your own research.

Neither Yoruba or Igbo have hebrew heritage in any way. However both might be related to ancient Chinese and Japanese people. The Jews are closer to europeans and other middle easterners than anything else. Yoruba have more similarities with the Asians than anything like Jew. I don’t know why Africans are obsessed with being Jews when they are clearly not. Arabs are 99% related to Jews and y’all never pretend to be Arab. We are more like Asians than anyone else. Religion has really ruined our spirituality

People bring up the race card, talk about inferiority complex and so on just to earn some likes from shallow thinkers like them and sees themselves as superb and accomplish historians or their advocates, or perhaps the ones who are protecting or promoting African values.

I have seen enough of that already, you never solve any intellectual problem. You only try to profit where you will sow nothing eventually. Most often, these clique knew next to nothing about the African traditional religion they claim to profess or its place in history. They just want to insult and earn likes.

I am using bible as a history book on this thread, and on all my other history related threads too, maybe understanding that can do a lot of help. I do quote Ifa oracle when I have to, so I'm not proselyting your converts, try and see beyond religious sentiments as basis of my claims.

NaijaPrince18:

You have inferiority complex to the Jews that’s why you are claiming something you’re not. There’s nothing jew about us we are west Africans. The Bible is not a history book. You can’t even prove anything but are just being extremely emotional

Bro, we are not "West African". There's no people who identify themselves as West African pre-colonial, we were "schooled' to be slaves and wear a given identity with pride. That's the heritage of "colo-mentality" from someone screaming "inferiority complex". It would be very difficult to see this in ourselves, as we are now "educated".

Now let's say the people we call "Oyinbo" were so: "oyinbo", meaning, they agree with us that they are oyinbo, irrespective of what that word means. Since the word itself is from west africa, would oyinbo have the etymology of this word in their lexicon? What does it matter, you will say. If you are not perpetually stuck to "inferiority IQ", you will understand this better: would Oyinbo man say of themselves, "we are oyinbo, that's our history"?

I am an Awori man, a Yoruba man in extension. In that name, a multicultural, inter-generational and intercontinental history is embedded. That's a fact if i have the depth to proof this. You are a West African, in that name, identity is lost forever. All your past become dissolved in the name that you were called by some foreigners who conquered your land in the 19th century.

How do we superimpose thousands year of history that we are ignorant of beneath a foreign name that we are called about some centuries ago? That's a people who lack historical and linguistic dept speaking, and from their angle, we can see weakness covered with empty pride. This is the reason you can't tell me about my antiquity, because antiquity never exist in your idea of "history". In extension, you are ignorant of history.

Bro, this is what you will keep saying from now till thy kingdom comes, once you have this angle, you will have the confidence you know something, whereas, you have shared what you know much earlier, you don't have clue how the world map looks, you don't have the idea of the world before the 20th century.

Inwardly, you feel inferior to identify with "superior" Europeans, if not, share how you discover our connection with the Far-East. You can't convict another person on the same crime you are culpable by default.

NaijaPrince18:

We are not west African now? 😂😂😂😂. Just stop posting please. It’s embarrassing. Please tell me what the root of awori is? Is it not ife? Which is Osun state not Israel.
I’m not the one obsessing over Jews. You clearly feel inferior to them. Jews are middle easterners not Africans or Europeans

absoluteSuccess:


LOL, just go and play bro, or wait a little time longer and you will get the likes you want from your "like farm".

Running home. Okay, we are from Osun state, which is Ile Ife. Once we say that, we have come to the end of discussion right?

Now, who named Ife,Ile Ife?

Who was Osun?

What does Awori means?

What are the proof of your claims?

When you can't defend your own claims, you start running here and there laying allegations, its slavery to reduce your story to West African that's what I'm saying. Without that name, you wont have had a name to describe yourself by right now.

NaijaPrince18:

You’re a 🤡? Who named your bloody Israel that you wish you were from? You have no heritage outside west Africa. Maybe be better and stop being so useless and create something to be proud of

Absolutesuccess, there are plenty of us who do not have a quarter of the knowledge and information you share on Yoruba origin and antiquity. It is refreshing to read your input. I followed the link you shared to quora.com, I could not believe that someone, not even a Nigerian, had taken such interest into Yoruba and Biblical duplicates. So many of us enjoy learning from your posts. However, it is irritating when you get sidetracked and chased after something else of no consequence. Your opponents know hot to derail your thoughts, all they do is easily raise a challenge and get you off tracks. Do you have the discipline to ignore all contributions that are non-supportive of your message and mission? If anyone believe we arr one with Asians, they should open their own thread with a topic to share what they know. It is not your position to banter with them, just act like you didnt see what they posted and continue with your message. Not hard to do at all.

absoluteSuccess:


Very true dear brother.

From now, I promise never to respond to what does not matter to what I am saying.

BabaRamota1980:
I am not conversant in the verses of Odu, but Isn't there also an Odu which cites Olugbon, Aresa and Orangun as the three wise men called upon to take gifts and pay obeisance to the arrival of a new born infant, whereupon they raised objections, until an Awo divined and revealed to them how to approach the challenge? They ended up visiting and felicitating with the new baby in humility, and as is typical when a sacrifice has been performed, their ways were forever smoothened. The challenge here is overcoming ego, and the lesson is humbling oneself irrespective of situation. I know this kinda jumbled things up but my attempt is to support your take on the three legends - Olugbon, Aresa and Orangun.
