[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=809408.msg9620555#msg9620555 date=1322103217]alj harem, I heard that you were an Igbo boy, pretending to be yoruba, supporting Hausas and claiming Kanuri.

How true?[/quote]don't know how true it is. But it is what it is.

Aigbofa:
Ode ni e. Why then are you blaming the media?

Ori e ko pe rara. learn to respect people's feelings. ode

Aigbofa:
Nonsense. Real people are dying; Being killed by some dum.b. northerners and you are here trying to portray yourself as different!!! At least Yorubas are not chasing anybody around with machettes.

so what is happening in kwara ? Stop displaying ur ignorance.

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=809408.msg9620543#msg9620543 date=1322102873]40yrs later, Igbo is still the major casualty of regional clashes.  Post 1970, you have lost in North alone almost half as much what you lost in the war.  So where is the value you put in your life?[/quote]stop gloating dude, just stop it. MUST YOU REMIND THEM of the experience. Na wa o

Today it is igbo, tomorrow it might be another region

Nothing is permanent unless CHANGE. It would not be like this forever. Remember that.

Aigbofa:
How dishonest, the media does not kill anybody. As a matter of fact the people doing the killings are not the greatest newspaper readers.

LOL see reasoning, where did I say the media is killing anyone. Stop showing ur ignorance here ok. If you have nothing better to say just ignore this thread.

Onlytruth:
Obviously some people are getting hard-on from Igbo deaths.
Make una carry go. You don't value your own lives. We value ours. Who is the fool?

No one is doing so nwanne, just calm down, agbofa and co don't in any form represent the yorubas or Nigerians.

this is Niaraland were we have ideeiot roaming about. Just ignore it. daalu

[quote author=Ileke-IdI link=topic=807895.msg9620531#msg9620531 date=1322102473]. . . . Now that we know that egusi is Yoruba, can we move on to another subject?

Flywhisk is purely Yoruba, for yoruba kings.[/quote] smh otito ileke idi

Aigbofa:
The same Alj who will not hesitate to slit your throat if you as much step on a manual written in arabic.

the same aigbofa who is an Yoruba ideeiot would not shut his mouth.

F-ing mouthy set of people. bloody ideeiot.

you think every one is an ideeiot like you or you think people come out of the bush with machete on people like it is in kwara ?

stay there, the North and the east are indivisible. Insha Allah

Aigbofa:
A beegi! Like they are sensitive to others. And why are your people killing them to start with? Abi dem kill sardauna again?
All these crocodile tears you are shedding is getting too much.

Oh shut it. No one is killing anyone, it is just some elements trying hard to cause division between the north and ndi igbo.

as jason said, how can u interview 2 or 3 people and claim people are living the north in masses.

If it is bauchi, Borno, and yobe, I would understand and in fact northerners are even leaving those areas as well so it would be silly for anyone to go there during this period.

apart from that, that is it.

Onye igbo

Don't listen to this rubbish media trying to cause division between the north and the east. Daalu

EzeUche:
These Yoruba Yoruba people have taken over this thread. I do not know how they are involved with such issues. If it does not concern you, then do not comment.

better. thank you

help me tell Negro ntns

htajz:
only a yoruba man will write such ,  so they should shut up when their people are being killed like you people do? abeg leave them to talk to discuss their issues ,they value the live of their kins men unlike  one ethnic group i know that dont care what happens to their kins men

Do you agree you are an Iddeieiot nwa igbo

why call ethnicity into this, u ideeiot

negro ntns

bros leave this thread. jor and please delete ur comments if u can

You have to understand, they are angry and they would say anything just like every other person. No one wants to lose their life for nothing.

Already whether they leave or not is immaterial. Believe it or not NIGERIA NEEDS IGBOS VERY MUCH

They go to every remote village etc to start up trade. NO OTHER GROUP DOES THAT APART FROM THEM

Lets tell ourselves the truth. Now sometimes this make them boastful at times but who does not do that ?

Insisted of tell them there options, why not try to say comforting words. They are part and parcel of Nigeria and we love and need them to be part of it to work.

Try and be sensitive to them

odumchi:
They're all Edo. I remember seeing these pictures in a textbook.

yep i agreee

My words to this thread are

You can only take a horse to the river, you cannot force it to drink water

Also, He who sees night and call it day is only deceiving himself.

[quote author=Chyz* link=topic=807895.msg9620438#msg9620438 date=1322100027]Just did some hard research, spaghetti is actually a yoruba food too. [/quote]LOL chyz you just had to lighten the mood

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620413#msg9620413 date=1322099311]Egusi is yoruba, the food is yoruba, the soil it grows in is yoruba. Are you happy now alj_harem?

The original argument before your introduction was the food, now it's irrelevant. Pele!!!!! You can cry and cry and cry, Pele ohh.

Everything is yoruba, are you happy now?[/quote]STOP THIS RUBBISH childish behaviour

we are talking of cultural influence and you are turning it to everything is yoruba

well that is NOT the case. At the end of the day, it is now a Nigerian food not even yoruba or igbo anymore

so what is ur point ?

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620399#msg9620399 date=1322098847]READING COMPREHENSION SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR YOU.  

On this topic only, most Igbo mentioned there is a very little Yoruba influence on Igbo land yet Yoruba’s keep drilling into our head that we are lying,  if we keep telling you what’s going on in SE and you keep believing otherwise then accept whatever makes you sleep at night It still does not change reality.  We'll laugh at the ign.orance, you'll believe whatever you want and everybody lives happily[/quote]That is the way to think of it. It is not about what I believe it is what it is.

I understand that the yorubas can be a bit pedantic and annoying on this site. And of course i see your need to clam otherwise because you do not want others to gloat over your people. I perfectly understand

But it does not mean we should change history, I and crayola had a very good laugh and I enjoyed yesterday's thread but when I perceived falsehood here by afam4eve and co I had to step in. nothing personal

until u came with ur coconut head and in ur post I perceived anger and Jealousy then I had to stop u in ur tracks there. No matter how bad you think of me, it does not change the fact that every culture has been influenced

if u read this thread I brought out Igbos influence on fashola's dressing which the yorubas insulted me as well

also how Nupe influenced the yorubas, they insulted me. But it does not change the fact that it happend

I am sorry if I generated any animosity. ndo nwanne m

very true but the reality of urs is a deluded one because other people perceive a different reality

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620373#msg9620373 date=1322098233]Pele!!!!!!  I'm going through all your links one by one but I have to ask,  If the soup originated in senegal as you claim (doubtful but i'll check it out, i'm going through all your links one by one, so far it the same thing.), what's your fuss on the fact I said the soup is not  a yoruba creation.  Pele!!!!!! oh,  okay i'll let you guys keep lying to yourself.

Igbo,prior to their introduction to yoruba, used the word Ogili for egusi
Hausa called it Agushi
Twi and Yoruba called it Egusi

Just because people are using your name of a seed, does not mean the food made by that seed is yours.[/quote]so you know it is ogili, ko !

LOL maybe it took sengalese airline to ala igbo and passed through benin and co.

HOW CAN a food be a creation ?

no one can claim to have created anything NOT EVEN sushi.

as far as Nigeria is concerned, it is what it is . Stop demonstrating ur Inferiority complex. Or is the mixing of culture a bad thing

what is wrong with you SMH

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620328#msg9620328 date=1322097101]What do I have against yoruba?  Nothing, just like messing with them.

Is it cultural influence? So far they haven't influenced igbos.

Intimidated by them?  Intimidated by what?  I laugh in chinese[/quote]Actually they have in a GREAT WAY even to langauge such as egusi

there is nothing bad in it

today Yorubas call isi ewu Isi ewu, that is Igbo influence on yoruba

Today tuwo shikafa is an Hausa food. it is still called them same in yoruba and by other Nigerians

Ogbono is a benin food, it is still called the same.

Egusi is a yoruba food and it is still called the same. I don't see what the problem is

the only problem comes when you are trying discredit them even though you would go to your village and order egusi. why ??

It has not taken your pride or anything from you. Has it ?

Culture is dynamic and it changes according to its generation.

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620316#msg9620316 date=1322096842]I laugh in chinese.  Whatever makes you people sleep at night.  We've already discussed this, I'm not one to return back to something already proven. 

When it comes to clothes,  your opinion is as credible as a dog's opinion.[/quote]LOL eyeeh, so you are actually sad because you got cultural influence from the yorubas. It shows the sort of hate mentality you have. What is wrong if Igbos today were influenced culturally in dressing and food even language in yoruba ? Is there anything wrong with that ?

Has Igbos not influenced Nigeria broken english with words like biko, nna etc Is anyone complaining and whining liek you are doing here

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE STU.PIDITY YOU ARE DISPLAYING HERE

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620309#msg9620309 date=1322096661]Nwoke, you can keep pretending to till the end of the world. You are faceless person, I do not know you in real life but based on ALL YOUR REPLIES on Nairaland, anybody can conclude you are Yoruba who keep pretending to be something he is not.

It is pathetic that despite giving yourself away so many times, you still keep pretending Tufiakwa.[/quote]cry me a river, keep deceiving urself. Only an iddeiot would take Nairaland serious. Whether I am yoruba or not HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE THE DISCUSSION AND FACTS.

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620301#msg9620301 date=1322096442]NONE OF YOUR LINKS  said Egusi soup is a yoruba creation.  IT SAID EGUSI is the yoruba name of the melon.  READ CAREFULLY.  

Your own links
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=J7kdAQAAIAAJ&q=origin+of+egusi+soup&dq=origin+of+egusi+soup&hl=en&ei=2SDNTuSlI8W98gPLl8wE&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAA

Egusi is apparently a yoruba word.

Where is the claim Yoruba created Egusi soup?

Another link
http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=6jrlyOPfr24C&pg=PA185&dq=origin+of+egusi+soup+yoruba&hl=en&ei=uCHNToDFMsOk8QO6rJXbDw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=2&ved=0CDEQ6AEwATgK#v=snippet&q=egusi%20yoruba&f=false

Egusi derived from the Yoruba language

I ask again the soup?  Where is the claim?

I credited Yoruba for the name Egusi because it is a yoruba word, THE SOUP IS NOT their creation.

Every West African region be it Igbo, Hausa, Wolof, Twi, etc have a name for a Egusi that isn't Egusi excluding Twi.

You gave something a name then automatically it is yours.  WTF?[/quote]cry me a river who cares if Twi or whatever, in one of the links I brought out, it said it orignated in senegal and was called agushi

today the yoruba thought the Igbos, ashanti and co and it is called Egusi. Again cry me a river  

as far as Nigeria and west africa is concerned. Yes it is them, go read those links again because i brought out not just 3 links.

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620267#msg9620267 date=1322095531]That your proof on my supposed claim of Akara originating in Igboland.  

Only bigotry fool would read into that?  

I guess in my past previous post when the discussion was on an agbada and I expressed shock at ileke-idi and cohorts statement,  going by your logic I was claiming that as an Igbo creation too right? Mscheww[/quote]LOL, agbada is orginal fulani cloth called Babban riga.

Agabda is a yoruba way of calling it.

Just like Gele is original yoruba byt igbos call it Ichifu or so.

It is a cultural thing. nothing wrong in that. There is no shame in that. As one of ur brothers said

Yorubas made it, we make it look better nothing wrong in that. Just don't act in shock or change history

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620257#msg9620257 date=1322095236]We all are aware you are yoruba so lets not even go there.  

Fixed your question for you and the answer is yes you can.  I do not care what you do with your life.[/quote]Now you can ROTFLAO

Na wa oo

tell me what you have against yorubas. Is it because of the cultural influence or u are just intimidated by them.

I have posted my address for Henry101 to see and come visit me, maybe he would tell if I am yoruba or not.

ask ur brother afam4eve he would have a better say

[quote author=One_Naira link=topic=807895.msg9620252#msg9620252 date=1322095138]where did I disclaim that?  I said the name is Yoruba, THE SOUP IS NOT YORUBA.[/quote]But it is said otherwise on one of the links I brought out in the beginning and moreover tell me why it can't be yoruba

what do you have against them ?

If it was Igbo, I would immediatly point that out without all this discussion. I accept my mistakes easlly and ready to learn from them like what stillwaters,tpia, andre uweh and co do. Not you that u are aguring blindlly

ezeagu:
Random internet websites and books are not "cited journals".

What I NEVER POSTED ANY RANDOM INTERNET WEBSITE OR BOOKS

Dude, use google scholars. Do you think because I can't type proper english I am an ideeiot like that One Naira ? Far from it, I know what is orginal and that can be quoted and what to be seen as COMPLETE RUBBISH

What One Naira brought out is complete rubbish, What I brought out or Journals and verified cited websites.

Check every single link I posted and prove me otherwise

Okay, you are dismissing other Nigerian claim despite saying you've asked all Nigerians and they said IT IS NOT igbo just because it did not agree with you.  SMH.  Typical hypocritical attitude.[/quote]Usual ranting from an ideeiot

we had a discussion, yet you are calling me a yoruba pretender

should I allow u to wallow in ur ignorance or what ?

maybe you missed the place i posted Igbo influence on other cultures which inculdes yoruba. Again go sleep

Of course only a mad man would say Isi ewu is hausa or so or suya is igbo or yoruba etc.

Akara yoruba?  Okra Yoruba?   Egusi yoruba?   Ogbono Yoruba?   This thread opened my eyes on Yoruba people.  I have to retrace everything I thought belonged to Yoruba cause the amount of claim claim their children are doing is .[/quote]
