pazienza: I've already made my point. You and the rest of the Igbo revisionist bandwagon can continue. I even saw one person like yourself saying Abeokuta was originally an Igbo town called Ebe Okwute, before Yorubas corrupted it into Abeokuta. lol.

StarFlux: Very soon Some Igbos will come here and start arguing with everyone that Osikakpa , The Igbo word for rice which even kids know in Igboland is an Igbo word. Even though those who are more aware know it was borrowed from Hausa word Shinkafa. The problem here is that some people think that it is a shame to borrow words into the lexicon of one's own native language. The truth is that not all languages have the same level of development. 3 Likes |

pazienza: Your lies stink to the high heavens lol. Onye Igbo and Oyibo in pronunciation sound COMPLETELY DIFFERENT even to a toddler, and even with the removal of a n and a Gb! lol And in West Africa here, we know that tones can make a whole world of Difference in meaning. Oyibo in the proper intonation anywhere in Nigeria means Nada in Igbo, and you know it. Kpele. 3 Likes |

StarFlux: You dey mind am? That guy na core Igbo supremacist, so mind how you deal with him. By the way, there is als a written historical account that dates to the 1830s of Yoruba people referring to whites as Oibo or Oyibo..... I think I saw someone post it somewhere before. So it's not even as if there are no written records of them using it from way back. 4 Likes |

pazienza: Another Ika man already came on this thread and said that they still use Onye Ebo to refer to white people in his village, and not oyibo. So, tell me what stopped the Southern Igbos from doing the same? Ndi Ocha was the Original Igbo word for Europeans. It is not hard to see that later on, Bekee and Oyinbo came via external influences based on which people the different mba Igbo were relating with at the time. Oyibo from the Western front through Edo/Delta axis. and Bekee from the Southern coastal front. 5 Likes |

pazienza: You are the one who should be ashamed for trying so desperately to weave a fable round the meaning of Oyibo. Of all the explanations, the igbo one sounded the most like a fairytale. Even the Bini one made more sense. Out of Nigeria's East and West Coast, which people saw white people first? Hian! 5 Likes |

pazienza: The truth of course. Most slaves from Igboland were conveyed mainly via forests, or two main rivers. The Imo river and the Cross River. Both in Southern Igboland area. So I don't exactly get ur lies that Oyibo was igbo mockery of white people asking for "Onye Igbo". Shey na Awka abi Nsukka people dem dey ask for Igbo pple from abi, Oratta and Ngwa.

pazienza: You should read ur brother's comment here: AndreUweh: When swamp Igbos don't use Oyibo , na Enugu Igbo on a hill close to Benue wey neva see white man until like when.... go come dey claim ownership of a Yoruba word. Stop lying bro. Oyinbo is a Yoruba word. Anambra/Enugu Igbos denasalised it by removing the nasal n before the B, because their dialects lacked nasalizations. And from there, it entered pidgin as Oyibo, because majority of yorubas do not go near pidgin. But now, the Yoruba form is gradually coming back to take pre-eminence if you notice the internet very well. 4 Likes |

Posting gory pictures won't change the facts that What Yorubas do is small compared to our own, it was just one month ago that a dog sniffed out a human parts selling restaurant in Anambra state.

Some parts of Igboland don't call white people Oyibo, they use Bekee. So that Igbo explanation kinda does not make sense, as it actually does sound like something that was "cooked" or made up. Also the Intonation of Onye Ibo or Onye Igbo is quite different from the way Oyibo is being pronounced in Nigeria today. The word (Igbo) has two falling tones on I and O, While the 'ibo' in Oyibo has a falling I and a rising O. which is exactly the same as it is pronounced in Yoruba. Òyìnbó Besides the PROPER Igbo word for white people is "Ndi Ocha" not Oyibo. You can never find the word Oyibo when you are having a deep Igbo conversation. Whereas even conc Yoruba people use Oyinbo in everyday speech and formalized academic literature. The Wikipedia Igbo page for whites for example, has the title "Ndi Ocha" https://ig.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ndi_ocha The Yoruba Wikipedia page for whites has the title "Awon Oyinbo" https://yo.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80w%E1%BB%8Dn_%C3%B2y%C3%ACnb%C3%B3 Even today, the Yoruba word for "Body Bleaching" is still "Bo-ra" Bora from Bo - peel, Ara - body. 76 Likes 9 Shares |

Igbos should by know that Rukwos /Ndi mba mmiri (aka Ijaw, aka Izon) are not part of the Biafran State. We are Alone. And I say this without mincing words. Any Igbo still "romancing" the idea of a country with Ijaws in it at this stage is just fooling his/herself cc: Amarabee. 6 Likes |
