This was not what you said when Osuji was doing his thing. Now you want to justify Yoruba well known brainlessness with an Igbo equivalent. You are pathetic.

Dede1: @OAM4J

I seriously doubt if you are qualified to act as a moderator on any forum. You are a bigot and pathetically ill-informed one too. I could not fathom any other reason why you had to ban Dede1 for the use of words-Yoruba and Yooba except you are under undue pressure of tribalism and ignorance.

I am Igbo and shall remain so throughout my life on earth. I feel honored when I heard Awolowo say “I am Ijebu before Yoruba”. Nigeria is in a total mess today because certain ignoramuses forced different groups of people who had no business staying together into one country.

Please get some education and it is even cheap through Google. Yoruba or Yooba is alternative name of Yoruba and has been used in numerous texts even in Arabic. There was no intent of derogatory when Songahi Scholar used the word-Yoruba to describe certain ethnical group found in the acreage that later constituted into Nigeria.

I had not intentions to abuse you but you should realize that lack of knowledge of certain rules does not absolve you from punishment due to crass blunder. My quarrel lies with the person who introduced free-education-policy in western region of Nigeria. Again, you need to place your itching ban fingers on a leash. A weeklong ban of Dede1 can not and will never change a thing.

OAM4J:

Ordinarily, I would have just banned you again for continuously typing Yoruba as Yoruba. But I want to give you this last benefit of doubt. I asked you before and I ask you again give me your sources from Google and other Language experts who refer to Yorubas from Nigeria as Yoruba or other variations while writing in English.

If I dont get a good response from you in 12hrs I will be left with no choice than to hide your post and consider another sanction against you.

Thanks.

Andre Uweh: @OAM4J
Please end this impasse now. Yoruba, Yoruba Ibo etc are all wrong modern terms.
Encourage posters to type Yoruba and Igbo.

OAM4J:

Thank you. I will review your sources.



Ibo and Yooba are acceptable. If Yoruba is also valid for Yoruba, then we will accept it.
