saddler:
How you didn't know that a word can have meanings in different languages baffles me.

So because you see a word in another language that has meaning in your language, you conclude they belong to your tribe.

Ologbo147:
They know we are not one, that ignorant above is telling me the history of OSA. OSA as a word has presence in Urhobo, Edo, Igbo, Esan etc it is very unlikely it was borrowed. Seeing the significance of the word that it is used to address God. Most likely it is a cognate word for YEAI group of languages to mean God. It has its variations from Olise to Olisa to OSA and so on.

If there is any word a tribe is going to borrow, it is most likely not the word for God. Not when its presence is spread across several groups that are said to be related.


Zo as a word as i have already stated above in Benin means to bring to bear or to bring to life.


There are several examples where zo was used both with Osa ,Oba Ehi, . Zo as a word-its usage is strongly knitted in Edo. There are several examples. e.g Ehiozuwa, Osazuwa, Obazuwa, Obazuaye, etc Benin was the empire, it is very likely this very title Obazuaye was borrowed by the Yorubas.


Benin language was a well known language in the palace and it is not an uncommon scenario. There are sprinkling evidences of Bini relics with groups she had contact with. Down from Ogiame- the Bini title of itsekiri monarch down to Agbor with several Bini list kings and so on

Ologbo147:
stop quoting me you fool, you are not worth engaging

SendoSendal:
Jimoh Ibrahim worked against the President's candidate for the Senate President position. He supported Yari and openly defiled the President. I don't think he will have the President's support

Ologbo147:
zo as a Bini word means to bring to bare

Osazuwa- God brought forth wealth or he is the one with the only ability to do so

Ologbo147:
You sounding like a fat fool, Benin is attaching itself to Esan and lexical similarity between Benin and Esan is 91 percent. You need knowledge, you are sounding like a goat

Ologbo147:
Dont be a fool, all the rendering you’ve gave are nonsensical in nature, Esan means Esanfia meaning they fled into the bush

Etsako is a corruption of ivbiosakon meaning Teeth doctor or teeth medicine practitioners

Ologbo147:
you sound like a very obese fool
Please do not repeat yourself
Iyamu- means i have played more roles than my peers

Ologbo147:
Obaseki is not a Yoruba name, Osiomoole is not a Yoruba name

Edo’s are not Yoruba mixed. Esan is not a Yoruba name, Okpe is not a Yoruba name, Etsako is not a Yoruba name. And they are all distinct languages from Yoruba as recognized by linguistic scholars. You just want attention

Dsimmer:
Oba is a Yoruba word..

Oshiomole is an oriki of Ogun. Oshin mole which is "walks on ground". Esan is a Yoruba word which means "it's good". Owan means merry. Etsako means "we go away".

Baro:
Obaseki, Oshiomole Esan, Owan, Etsako are all Edo words. Do not misinform people

fawaz050:
I heard some Yoruba towards the end.

Pataki as in important

By the way what do Obasohan, Bazuaye, and Ize-Iyamu mean?

santaclaws:
I used to think this man was Yoruba... Ashey bros na Osaigbovo from Edo state. I no go dey assume anybody tribe till I see their ID card

On a more serious note, I wish Mr. Akpata the best and I believe he has something upstairs... Good luck to the people of EDO state!

Dsimmer:
I thought Oka was Amala. People learn everyday though.

That's good list.

Yoruba have got lots of cuisines tbh.

They've even got several varieties for each.

For example, there are several varieties for Iyan which includes :
Iyan gbere
Iyan ikoko.
Iyan isu

Amala also has its varieties such as:
Amala fifun (Lafu)
Amala dudu.

There are other food such as :

Ebiripo
Pupuru
Ekuru
Eba
Eko
Sapala
Ogi
Ofada
Garri

Other foods includes:

Ojojo
Akara
Moimoi
Alapa
Asaro
Jogi
Langbe
Kokoro
Adun re
Dodo ikire
etc.


There are also several varieties of Yoruba soups.

For example, efo soup has its several varieties such as :
Tete,
Soko,
ewuro,
elegede,
Yanrin,
amunututu,
iroko,
gbure etc.

Ila also has its several varieties such as: Orunla,
Ilasa,
Ila asepo,
Ila funfun.

Egusi also has its several varieties such as egusi efo,
egusi funfun etc

Aside these, there are other soups such as:

Bokonisha
Marugbo
Ikokore

Yoruba have got several varieties of cooking food, soup and vegetables, considering the several varieties above. In fact, using IFA as timeline, In the old days when sick people are taken to the Awo, the first thing the person was asked was if he or she had eaten. If he's not eaten, several varieties of nutritional foods are prepared for him to eat before any other thing because it could be hunger/lack of food which got the person sick. Besides, one needs to eat food before taking medication. That's what some later term as aseje. The idea behind it was to ensure one had eaten food first before taking medication, considering most of the sick people were left at the Awo place in the old days.

TimeMachine2:
What baffles me the most is how they carefully gaslight people into buying their Biafra agenda guise as Peter Obi. The Pandora thief is not even in the league of Sanwo-olu.
Peter Gringory Obi is not among the best 100 governors that ruled in Nigeria from 1999.

ycat:
Egusi is Yoruba's first before others burrowed it, that's why we have more than 7 ways to add Egusi to our food, not just in soup like the rest of you.

ycat:
They are actually pan African now, but that doesn't make them not to have origin.

Only Yoruba call Beans Ewa in Africa. Jollof rice is Senegalese and Egusi, Moin Moin, Akara, Eba are all Yoruba's first before it became other's.

ycat:
Lazy Op, come and finish what you started oo! Every Yoruba subgroup has its own delicacies, so let me see if I can help out.

Ekuru, Iyan(pounded yam)and efo elegusi belong to Ondo and Ekiti

Eba, plain Egusi soup, Gari Soaking, Fufu, Eberipo elewe and Ikokore are Ijebu's. Egbo is food I grew up thinking is Ijebu's but now I can see it's eaten a lot in Ibadan too.

Godo/Eberipo(cocoyam) and obe didin for Remo

Lafu (white amala) Ewedu All Star & Eko, Ofada and Ayamase for Egba

Amala isu, Ewedu and Gbegiri for Oyo

Sokoyoto, Ila All Star, Eko and Eba for Awori.

Asaro, Moin Moin, Adalu, Egbo, Ewa-Agoyin. Apon, Gizdodo are all Yoruba.

Kwara and Kogi have Agbado and Rice meal, Oka is another word for Agbado but I don't think that's what it's called.

And of course Yoruba put J in Wollof rice.

Then comes the street food

Agbon nuggets
Guguru & Epa
Asun
Boli
Kokoro
Langbe(boiled corn)
Dodo
Puff puff
Bunz
Shin-Shin
Akara
Igbekere
Dodo ikire
Dundu
Ojojo
Robo(spicy Egusi snack)
Agbado yiyan
Ekuru
Adun
Jogi(roasted moin-moin)
Yilata squad(Igbin,Beef, Ponmo & Eja)

There are more but I can't remember their names, like fried batter made from fresh corn and sugar.

I think Yoruba have the most street food.

Argh! I'm hungry now!

Dsimmer:
I have got no problem with the ronus. They're only acting in reciprocation and are even funny while at it. A case study was the Igbo coup for example which murdered all regional leaders except Igbo leaders yet some play the victim today ☹️ The point is what you don't want done to you, don't do it to others. It's simple.

As a matter of fact, Yoruba are generally liberal.

Take for example, those born from Igbo mixed breeds have got no choice but to stick to the Yoruba because they are hardly accepted in Igbo land. The Igbo are too tribals to accept them hence they have got no choice to begin with but to stick to the Yoruba who's the only one liberal enough to accept them. However, the fact that Yoruba are liberal doesn't give right to any region to want to dictate the cultural and political affairs in Yorubaland. Na craze? I mean something you don't allow in your region but have got the nerves to want to be dictating the affairs of other region? Na craze? The nerves! Heck, Igbo don't even tolerate mixed breeds.

Those born of mixed breeds should also get sense too. I mean even though they know they are not accepted in Igbo land except in Yoruba land but why do some of them end up acting stupid? Take GRV for example, he can't even go to any Igbo land to contest to begin with, without the Igbo chasing him out because Igbo don't accept such in Igboland however what did he do while he was contesting in Yorubaland which accepted him? Instead of him to fully immerse himself in Yoruba ideology which begets him and accepted him🤔, but instead, he didn't know where he was from thus, proceeded to start spewing gibberish about the Yoruba while insulting them (which was probably as a result of his hateful Igbo mum and Igbo wife) yet at the same time, he was expecting the Yoruba to make him rule over them while he was insulting them? Can you see how stupid he was?

Speaking of tribalism, I will call some tribalism cultural and historical conservation which is good tbh because if you're too liberal, you will get eaten up. Point is if you're too liberal, you will get eaten up. As a matter of fact, we all know that no one can go to any country to be dictating to them on how to behave or telling them not to do this and that blah blah blah just because of his presence in the place. It's either he conforms to the cultural ideology of that country or get out. No time for nonsense. It's what a system is about. You don't simply go to another region to go cause chaos and become a nuisance, especially when such nuisances from others isn't even tolerated in your own region.

MaxInDHouse:
They set up a system of government that's not in tune with African culture and insisted our people must continue practicing it otherwise they will be sanctioned by so doing they keep monitoring the progress of African nations.

Guy it's like you don't know the deeper secrets of politics introduced to Africans!

MaxInDHouse:
They are still ruling indirectly!

MaxInDHouse:
They're not serving people but their colonial masters that's the truth!
