Black represent the devil, white, Angels

When you look in the mirror what do you see? One that is cursed?

Slavery was not a choice but slavery has since become a choice.

The truth will set us free. If we know the truth. What is the truth? The truth is we don't know the truth which is the prerequisite to freedom.

If Buhari can run for president many t times before eventually realizing his wish, then Atiku can also do same. Atiku is not too old to run again and be president of our great country.

First, I have no intention of over stretching this matter because, I know Yathrib history from the angle of Yemen. In fact, Dierk Lange mentioned, in ‘The Lost Tribe of Israel', where he did extensive explanation on the history of Yoruba as ancient Hebrew descendants and mentioning Yerobam(Jerobam) a northern Israeli kingdom that was razed down and expelled from their ancient land as well as Yathrib as a name of Yoruba which he later submitted that it was impossible for Yoruba to be Yathrib because the conquered cannot bear their conqueror's name with pride since they suggestively chased Yoruba out of their kingdom,which is logical.

Furthermore,a popular group in Oman bears semblance name as Yoruba because they were known as the Yaruba (Arabic: أسرة آل يعرب‎) (also spelled Ya'Aruba or Ya'arubi). They became prominent as rulers of Oman between 1624 and 1742, holding the title of Imam .As far as I am concerned, I am familiar with the history of Mesopotamia because of her land's fertility to cultivate, terracota etc to work. And I am sure you know Yathrib was not yet born because Ismael the progenitor of Arabs was not in existence as at the earlier period of Mesopotamia,where the Sumerian culture was the most developed.

Is now Obvious falana is a useless and nonsense lawyer.


He was not able to perfect his client (Sowore) bail condition and now ran to sue another organization.


What kind of useless lawyer is this?

He talks a lot but can't win any case let alone perfect bail conditions.

Anyway for his little mind he is a sophisticated lawyer

Greeting to you from me . As far as I am concerned it is not supposed to be over flogged as being done right now by some mischievous people to gain unnecessary attention. And if the Yoruba ancestors from around 15th century did worked extra hard as did their forebears, perhaps, development and expansion of their technological know how and all what need be done to achieve greatness wouldn't be farfetched. And doing so, the wrong definition of the meaning of Yoruba would have crept up in the first place,which is the same way some evil people did to the creation of the world in Yoruba's mythology by the addition of Obatiseala as creator, Odua and Obatisheala as part of creation link when in fact, these Two myth aren't part of creation in the original ese Ifa that did mentioned or un mi ela as the master of creation because ela is the creator of all things both animate and inanimate.

It is based on my research that I discovered that Yoo ru ba is a descriptive identity of the people who bore it now because no people in Africa use the word ‘ba' to tally with domineer except the Yoruba hierarchial or monarchial or man of high reputation, father etc. Thus, Yoo is identified with break forth, appears, rejoice at seeing the appearance. Ru is identified with rise above, lifted up while ba is lord/King/one who domineer over. Furthermore, common sense ought be applied even if there is a confusion over the etym of the word which i don't believe existi. Therefore Fulani, or Hausa didn't give us the name.

Yarib is not associated with the Yoruba's etymology because, Yarib is a name identified with a group of Arab's descendants who lived in Arabia peninsula of Yemen that were Muslims at one time with in Near East history. The etymology of Yarib is different from Yo oru ba which was borne out of a people who use bá/aba/uba for father, king,lord,one who domineer over.

The name Baba is a Semitic name or with an Asia origin amongst Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism,Yoruba Hausa, etc which means, holyman, a spiritual leader of some sort while Ba/Aba is used both by Hebrew and Yoruba group which means, ‘father'. So, it is easy to trace the meaning of Yo oru ba if one consider the manner at which Yoruba interacted with Tapas,Hausas,Gambaris etc outside her domain with other people in their migration from one area to another.

Interestingly, Oranmiyan was the one whose identity was identified with ‘Ba' after he left Ileife in southwest and led the group as the prince with their ancestors language to the Igodomigodo and Oyo Ile which a small yoruba settlement before she grew to an empire in later years.

As far as my studying pictograms/ideograms convinced me of the Yoruba ethnic group as Semitic people from foundation. So pathetic are the people who can't read and decode the inscription on Opa Oranmiyan and Opa Ogun etc but are coming up to lay fallacious claim to what they don't have knowledge on the etymology of Yoruba's meaning. As bad it is, a so called Professor came up and posited that Yoruba has degoratory meaning in Hausa or fulani language.
It is so sad with all these tneory upon theory without fact when in fact, the etymology is as simple as ABC.

Yoruba

Oyo oba

Yo ru iba

It was a collection of words

I want you to tell me what it translate to in Hausa and Fulani, Since you clearly believe a crack head over the submission of several Professors

justnairalande:

where is proof ?

LegendHero:


Yes you are right, there are manuscripts that alludes to the fact that the Yorubas migrated from Mecca. But you should be mindful of not mixing the source (origin) with civilization. Those period of little after AD years may not capture the true historical sequence but when man was able to document evidences from atrtefacts and other stuffs about Africa is usually within those 12th century - Present.

Oyo Kingdom was the headquarter of the Yoruba civilization which explains why the name Yoruba has to be related to Oyo in this context. Ife was the source of the Yorubas and no one is doubting that but the civilization is Oyo and the kingdom is well documented in history with credible sources.

awgumayor:
Nobody is disputing the origin of yoruba whether they come from Israel or Saudi Arabia as you are mentioning araba, rabbi, arab. The question here is the origin and meaning of yoruba.
FFK is an intelligent person and well learned, he must have done some very good researches before coming out to tell the world that he no longer wants to be called a Yoruba man ...because he knows the gravity of it. Why can't you go to one of the national newspapers with all your proof and counter him.

LegendHero:


1824 is the year which Alimi assasinated Afonja. Even the Dan Fodio caliphate Itself started in 1804.

Like I said in my earlier reply to you, the Yoruba name preceded all those years and it would be absurd for FFK to link it with the Hausa/Fulanis

TUANKU:
Those making allegations of terror attacks should provide proof/evidence to back their claims up.
Fear mongering is not a good thing. Jumping to conclusions based on sentiments. A petrol tanker intended for terrorism would be utilised in a way to cause maximum casualties not just a handful of people.
You people need to stop these baseless claims except of course you have evidence to back it up.
RIP to the victims, in the name of Jesus son of nwa Chineke.

Madeu:
Deliberate attacks to destroy their source of livelihood and make them to be economic disadvantage. Just like the Black wall street - similar incidence Is happening.

what exactly do you mean? The only thing igbos need is referendum and we have been talking about it with one voice for a long time.

SE does not see the presidency as a means to an end but wants a federation built on equity, justice and fairness.

This is because the north have ruled this nation for a greater part of our national existence with absolutely nothing to show for it.

LOMBARDY:
Just take a look at most developed and wealthy nations on Earth, US, UK, Japan, China, Russia, Canada, Germany and the rest are mostly monolingual or there's one two or three dialects which everyone understands. Does that mean that a large portion of their problems has been cut off?

Why didn't they do the same in Colonial Africa, if it could work for them or where they experimenting or am i wrong??

mrvitalis:
Yoruba's are funny ....after what happened to zik in the western region where he was betrayed

U expected him really to form a government with awolowo ? Funny
Same way u expect Niger delta to support the west in 2023 after what u did in 2015

Same thing awolowo was expecting Igbo support after his role in the civil war ?

U betray someone then turn expect the person to support u ...after they say Igbo's don't build bridges

ambimo:
the guy who posted this really, is intelligent. it takes a level of intelligence to think this way.

SLAP44:
Why is he always pointing towards the north?

waternogetenemy:
Wen u have people like Edwin Clerk already sounding warning that Yoruba should keep off 2023, to allow President of Nigeria from Igbo tribe to emerge.

This OP is still high on Agbo.

I hope you know who Chief Edwin Clerk is, right.


He was a notorious anti-Igbo, so for him to be saying dat, u know Yoruba cannot win votes in SS/SE.


Keepoff

Oga, I read from the link you shared and I noticed that, immediately Afonjas miserable life was ended, Your people became confused, Allying with each other and fighting against each other. Slave Kings were fighting against themselves while Emir their master was at one corner watching their foolishness

writefreely:
Nigerian youths aren't lazy, they are just divided like their leaders too and are basically in need of leadership.

A 40 year old can be considered a youth, right?
and by this time in Nigeria's history, the country had already fought a war, oil had already started been mismanaged, government was already corrupt, there wasn't electricity, jobs, good roads, and that is the situation all Nigerian youths today were born into.

So none should blame the youths for doing what the elders couldn't do when they are very much around and not ready to.

They f***** it up, not today's youths.

1billion trips for one year times eight assuming its uninterrupted that's 8billion not to include miscellaneous health trips.

Why not spend the 8 billion on a national carrier. Or the budget is fuel cost in between flights?
