Tinubu's brainchild.

These useless people need to be dealt with. Have these fools forgotten that they're tenant in Nigeria? And I wonder the useless people bringing these useless terrorists.

Where are the OPC? They need to get in action as quick as possible.

As an ethnic description, the word "Yoruba" was first recorded in reference to the Oyo Empire in a treatise written by the 16th century Songhai scholar Ahmed Baba.

It was popularized by Hausa usage and ethnography written in Arabic and Ajami during the 19th century, in origin referring to the Oyo exclusively.

The extension of the term to all speakers of dialects related to the usage of the Oyo (in modern terminology North-West Yoruba) dates to the second half of the 19th century.

It is due to the influence of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, the first Anglican bishop in Nigeria. Crowther was himself a Yoruba and compiled the first Yoruba dictionary as well as introducing a standard for Yoruba orthography.

The alternative name Akú, apparently an exonym derived from the first words of Yoruba greetings (such as Ẹ kú àárọ? "good morning", Ẹ kú alẹ? "good evening"wink has survived in certain parts of our diaspora as a self-descriptive, especially in Sierra Leone.

The first name the Yorubas were called was Yoruba.

What does that mean? I carried on, Samuel Ajayi Crowther in his Yoruba dictionary defines ‘Yoruba’ as a bastard and deceitful person in Hausa.

Another description comes from the Dr Taiwo Ayanbolu who insisted Yoruba is a name derived from Hausa language which means deceit. He claimed he found the definition at York Museum in England dating to the 19th century.

It has been recorded that the Hausa-Fulani who had been in contact with the Yoruba even before the rise of Oyo Empire had for some reasons chosen to call us Yoruba, or Yaribansa. Perhaps this might have been a result of Yoruba people’s bargaining skills which often made the Fulani traders fall victim of trade by barter.

Some say that the word Yoruba started protruding during the clash between Yoruba and Fulani that steered the lost of Ilorin to them in the 18th century.

Professor Ade Ajayi in “Yoruba Warfare in the Nineteenth century” insisted that during the indirect rule era, it was necessary for the imperialists to give a unique name to the entire towns and people who spoke Yoruba language.

Somehow, they settled for Yoruba. Yoruba is a deviation of Yoruba which the Yoruba people of that century rejected. The Ijebu, Ijesa and Egba rejected this name vehemently but because during the Kiriji war (the Yoruba civil war) where the collapse of Oyo Empire commenced and the signalling factor the imperialists used to prompt the rule over Oyo from covers.

The name Yoruba was foisted on Oyo and Ibadan mainly on documents and slowly the name Yoruba was enshrined in our culture and hence, our appellation. Research shows that the Egba were the last to accept Yoruba as their appellation, reason coming from facts emanating from the first newspaper published in Yorubaland in 1859, goes: Iwe Iroyin Fun Ara Egba Ati Yoruba. This indicates that the Egba refused the name Yoruba as at 1859.

Furthermore, in the Ifa Corpus there's no Odu where we were referred to as Yoruba, rather, it is as Omo Kaaro Ojiire, Omo Oduduwa or Omoluabi.

Thus said, the word Yoruba is new in our vocabulary and it is a way of showing we accepted a negative appellation dropped on us by hostile foreigners.

You're still crying with your baseless gibberish without facts. It's no more Hausa? 😂 After you realized it had no meaning in Hausa and Fulani. Lol.

Point is the word Yoruba has no meaning in any language except in Yoruba language. That's a fact!

The word Yoruba simply translate into Oyo Ori Oba which is "Oyo is the Kinghead". It's in Yoruba proverb as a matter of fact. In fact, 9ice also mentioned it in his music.

Of course, Yoruba groups had several names they were bearing before Yoruba (Yooba) was eventually used for everyone. The word Yarba was because some foreigners couldn't pronounce the name Yo'oba which was what the Oyo were bearing. It has no meaning in any language except in Yoruba language. That's a fact! Richard Burton even reported on Yoruba account in 1861, noting that the name "Yoruba" derives from "Ori Oba" which means -The Head King📍

On a side note, Ilorin is a Yorubaland which bears Yoruba name with Yoruba language. That's a fact! Also, the British met no emir ruling Ilorin when they arrived. That was the record documented in the archives by the British who emphatically stated that the Emir had been chased out of Ilorin.

Of course we already knew Af0onja fell into his own mistake which he later realized, although it was too late for him. In fact, Alimi was only an alfa in Ilorin, not an Emir to begin with, while Af0onja ruled Ilorin as the ruler of Ilorin which was part of Oyo empire. First, it was some Manden people who took up Islam before bringing Islam to Yorubaland while trading hence some Oyo folks practised it, including some Ilorin which was a subset of the Oyo empire. Secondly, Fulani and Alimi brought no Islam to Yorubaland like I already stated (it was some Manden people hence why Yoruba call it "esin mali" which means it's from Mali). After Af0onja became greedy in his attempt to rule Oyo, he invited the useless Alimi as mercenary who eventually betrayed him and murdered him.

In the end though, the Emir and Fulani were later chased out of Ilorin because of the constant murder of the Yoruba in Yorubaland perpetrated by the greedy useless Fulani hence these useless folks were fought against and chased out of Ilorin. That was before the British came to Ilorin. The British didn't meet any ruling Emir who was a nonentity as a matter of fact. Since Ilorin chief wouldn't submit, he was exiled while the Emir was brought back. All these are documented already in the old archives ✨

That being said, Ilorin needs to have an Oba as a matter of fact. The cultural Kings are the custodians of African cultures which is needed in Ilorin as a matter of fact. That was what Afoonja, the ruler of Ilorin represent. That's not the position of an Emir. I don't even see the purpose of an Emir there because there are Mosques and Churches where these supposed foreign religion should take place. But when it comes to an African ruler, it should be upholding the African cultures. Simple as ABC!

That's just btw. Back to Yoruba name which only has its meaning in Yoruba language. it was Oranmiyan of Ile Ife that coined the Yoruba name which means "Oyo is the Kinghead". IFA refers to Yoruba as Omo Kaaro Ojiire (children of blessings), Omo Oduduwa (children of Oduduwa/children of the vessel of virtues), Omoluabi (children of God/righteousness) etc.

lies

As I said, I deal in fact, not stupidity!

ariesbull:
some of my ijebu guys hate me calling them Yoruba same as Okun and Egun

Your delusion.

Yoruba translate into Oyo is king. It's a good name.

ariesbull:
.

As I said, I deal in fact, not stupidity!

The fact which is Yoruba only has its meaning in Yoruba. It's in Yoruba proverb as a matter of fact. Also The word Yoruba was mentioned in a manuscript in 1614 while making reference to the different people in Africa.

Yoruba was the name which Oyo were bearing and it only has its meaning in Yoruba language.

The point is Yoruba groups had several names they were bearing before Yoruba was eventually used for everyone. The word Yarba was because some foreigners couldn't pronounce the word (Yo'oba) which was for the Oyo. It has no meaning in any language except in Yoruba language. Yooba (Yoruba) only has its meaning in Yoruba language which is Oyo ori Oba! It's in Yoruba proverb as a matter of fact. 9ice also mentioned it in his music.

ariesbull:
Just Dey play .... Wetin everyone know even Google

By who exactly?

You mean people writing gibberish without facts?

I deal in facts, not stupidity!

The word Yoruba has no meaning in Hausa. That's a fact. The word, Yoruba only has its meaning in Yoruba language. That's a fact!

Another fact is, even before the Hausa, the Yoruba name was already mentioned in a manuscript in 1614 while the Manden was making reference to the different group of people in Africa. I deal in fact, not stupidity!

The Yoruba name only has its meaning in Yoruba which is Oyo ori Oba. It's also in Yoruba proverbs as a matter of fact. In fact, 9ice also mentioned it in his music.

ariesbull:
The original name of yoruba people are Anago...Yoruba is just a name given to them by hausa

Yoruba has no meaning in Hausa.

Yoruba was a name given by Oranmiyan of Ile Ife.

It's coined from "Oyo ori oba" which means Oyo is king. 9ice mentioned it in his gongo Aso music when he said "ajise bi Oyo lari, Oyo ko sebi Baba enikan"

Oranmiyan of Ile Ife gave that name. It was Oyo who were first called that name and then later, the whole Yoruba was called the name.

A lot looted under Buhari to be honest. And some foreign countries aiding these corruption are what? Those foreign countries who aided these corruption should be ashamed of themselves and their hypocritical uselessness.

Meanwhile, these useless corrupt looters should be brought to book and return every looted money back to the country.

Btw, it's time for OPC and Akogun of western region to come out now! The murder of the monarchs in their ancestral home is unacceptable!

Every state should have their own forest guards and state police.

Meanwhile, it's time for Western OPC to come out for Western region.

Buhari's nephew also stole a lot. He needs to return all what he looted.

And why are some European countries aiding corruption?

..

He needs to Implement good policies and focus on harnessing Ondo state resources which are Numerous with industrialization.

Also agricultural revolution and agro industrialization.

They also need to build a seaport. Ondo have the longest unbroken coastline with deep natural depth.

APCNig:
The former world without Islam was the world where Africans were exported to Europe and America as Slaves by Christian Missionaries

The European colonists aren't exonerated, regarding Africans colonization and as a matter of fact, they need to compensate Africans however, Arab slavery of Africans were the worst. Heck the useless Arabs stole North Africa lands while wiping out the North Africans! That was the most evil!

If not for the fact that the Arabs were stopped back then, the whole Africans and the world at large would have been wiped out back then just like they stole North Africa lands while wiping out the North Africans!

And those taking up that dumb Arab religion are doing a disservice to themselves because why dumb down one's brain to the level of Arab who think ridiculous things such as this below? 🤔Although I know some who take up such don't allow it to affect their thinking and creativity but best is to free oneself from such dumb backward mentality. You're not an Arab!

scosco1:
Hmmmmm

Quite delusional funny statements. Arabs are in their own shockingly delusional world with the ridiculous way they think. Lol. I crack with laugh while reading all the nonsensical asinine statements in the picture. Lol.

Not to mention how they stole people's land heritage, for example, they stole North Africa lands while murdering the Northern Africans!

Mvnster:
There are fulani christians and they are victims of attack equally as "non-fulanis".
So as it is now it is not just about the fulani, they are a group of criminals exploiting our weak security set up, yes they likely have backings from some politicians, military officers, religious leaders etc...they are making a lot of money so its a big business.
The root cause and the way forward is the question right now.
Thats where quality education comes in in the long run, state police fully armed in the short run.

I have already said my own. The governor should get to work and set up forest guards to defend against Fulani terrorists. Proactive step need to be taken against terrorists like the Europeans do against terrorists.

Even the Isrealites were asked to defend their Judea land territory against terrorists which was what the old testament was about. They didn't go out of their Judea land to cause trouble to anyone and any useless terrorist invader trying to disturb their Judea land was dealt with and destroyed!

As for the Europeans, they also don't tolerate terrorists.

Congrats to him. it's quite impressive. Age is no barrier. Nice one

Heaven and earth were joined and they were cloved asunder? That's funny. Lol. There was also nothing in the universe to begin with.

Ifa is even accurate by mentioning the creation of light first before going further to mention matter. Well, the earth is actually made up of light and matter.

But Heaven and earth joined to clove asunder? Aside the funny statement, Mohammed didn't even know if he should say earth was created first or heaven was created first. He was confused. He said earth was created first, then later said it was heaven which was created first and then said they were already joined together and then clove asunder🤔 Lol. That was how he said the Sun sets in a murky water/pool and rises from murky pool on people ☹️ He probably saw the reflection of the sun in the muddy pool thus concluded such.

Well, I felt Mohammad could have witnessed some meteorites (small stones falling from space) which shouldn't be farfetched, considering he and those with him were always roaming the desert thus could have happened to witness some meteorites. So either he or those with him witnessed the falling meteorites which they couldn't understand (meteorites had fallen in several places as a matter of fact), thus he or those with him could have witnessed it but couldn't understand it hence that could have been the reason why he came up with the dumb line of heaven and earth cloved asunder. In fact, I also felt that Mohammed knew that the stone idol deity in kabba is a meteorite. It could have also been the basis for his narrative of heaven and earth cloved asunder from. Lol. The quraysh tribe who were fond of worshipping stone idol deity could have told him that it was a fallen stone (meteorite). In fact, the quraysh tribe liked collecting several gem stones including meteorites and pumice they saw to keep as idols which they worshipped. That was the basis of the Kaaba to begin with.

Mvnster:
What about the fulani christians?
What is going on is the result of failure of good governance at all levels over decades, there is bound to be break down of law and chaos at the end of the day, you cant sow thorns and reap berries.
Imagine if those bandits were all university graduates with quality education, good high paying jobs, how many would have the time to be roaming about in bushes looking for trouble?
When the govt keeps failing to invest in youth development, the future would always be bleak.

Yes, including the Fulani christians. The Fulani should stop disturbing the peace of the country when they're tenants! What the hell!

I wonder the useless people sponsoring them.

Speaking of education blah blah in the North, aren't the Fulani the emirs and governors lording over the Hausa in Hausa land in the North?🤔 You're only pointing out the failures of the Fulani who rather prefer to conquer the Hausa in Hausa land. And they should stop sponsoring other Fulani terrorists from other countries into the country.

The governor need to take proactive step. Implement forest guards to curb the whole menace against terrorists.

Every state must have their own forest guards.

it looks good. That's a nice one.
Adeola, isn't he the founder of GT bank?

More of these initiatives.

ariesbull:
who wan do gun down for Ekiti

Me sef can. Nigeria needs to take proactive step like European to curb useless evil terrorists.

Meanwhile, all states need to have their own forest guards. Or the country should break up sef.

ariesbull:
it has been outlawed that's why herdsmens are outlaws

Do the crime and do the time. Gun down any useless lawless evil idiot constituting nuisance to the peace of the community. Imagine barbaric Open grazing in this century? 🙄 Or the country should just break up. Every state must have Forest guards as a matter of fact!

Open grazing should be outlawed. Open grazing is useless and barbaric. Don't this fools know it's archaic and cause desertification as well as flooding? Are they that stupid? Bunch of useless folks! They had better fvck off or be gunned down!

Otedola.

Nigeria have got several resources as a matter of fact.

More investors are needed 📌

While I think there's something in IFA which is the Yoruba religion because of its accuracy of the world description which is all about light and matter 💤 , and also the innovative creative enlightenment/Idea present in it however, it needs to be interpreted right (especially the ebo sacrifice/animal sacrifices) while the innovative creative ideas should also be focused on to bring such innovation into technical realities.

Yoruba religion (IFA) is quite accurate on the description of the earth formation, even as it described it as light and matter which we know is what the earth is made of.

First, IFA states that Eledumare (Olorun/Oluwa) is the only one supreme almighty creator. What's Eledumare? El is got from the word "Ela" which means "light" in the sense of enlightenment, clarity and wisdom. Odu means "vessel" while Mare means "infinite manifestations or infinite creations". So Eledumare means "the light (wisdom)/knowledge of the vessel of infinite manifestations/possibilities/creations". In Olodumare, the Ol from Olodumare means the Owner or Lord (Oluwa) thus, Olodumare means the Lord of the mysterious knowledge of the vessel of infinite creations/manifestations.

Then there are the Orishas. The first Orisha to create the earth was Obatala but he ended up sleeping off thus Oduduwa came to complete the earth creation assignment. Obatala and Oduduwa are regarded as one entity which created the earth like a covered calabash (sphere) with Obatala holding the upper part of it while Oduduwa hold the lower part of it, according to IFA.

So let start with what does Obatala means? It means the "king of light". IFA also calls Obatala "aterekaraye" which means expansion through the universe. Hence, these hot light particles which is Obatala started the creation of the earth by expanding until it slept off at a stage (which was the sleeping stage which IFA states about Obatala thus making Oduduwa to take over the completion of the earth creation). Obatala light simply expanded into Oduduwa thus making Oduduwa to take over.

What does Oduduwa means? It simply means "mysterious black vessel of creation/black vessel matter". It also depict the earth formation.

Hence, Obatala (light ) slept off (cooled) after its series of expansion (aterekaraye) into dark Oduduwa vessel to form atoms/matter which then took over. The law of conservation state states that matter aren't destroyed but converted from one form to another.

The atoms formed collided with one another to form the Sun, the star, the asteroids, the comets and the planets which include the planet Earth. That was how the earth was formed!

As for the water bodies on earth, it's formed as a result of the comets formed which then collided with the earth to form the water bodies on the earth.

IFA described these waterbody (comets) as Yemoja + Olokun) but as one entity representing the water body which then collapsed on the Earth as stated by IFA. Yemoja with her large breasted surface represent the surface area of the water body and the rivers while Olokun represent the deepest part of the ocean. So, the combination of the Earth formed by Obatala/Oduduwa as one entity and the formed water body comet (Yemaja/Olokun) collided to give birth to all the other Orishas (which all have their meanings btw).

Basically, the world was formed with the creation of the Obatala light which expanded (aterekaraye) into a dark Oduduwa vessel to form matters which combined to form the Earth, the Sun, the Stars, asteroids and the Comets (water body). IFA is actually accurate! Too accurate as a matter of fact!

On Orunmila, Orunmila which is Orun Mo Ela means heaven's light. Orunmila is also regarded as "Ogbon Ile aye" (The wisdom of the whole world). He's also called "Olupitan Ile Ife" and "Eleri ipin" which means the historian of Ile Ife and the witness of all creations respectively. According to IFA, Orunmila was there from the beginning of the universe and witnessed everything. Ela is referred to as Orunmila btw. Ela means light & clarity like I previously stated and is also regarded as the only begotten child and the word of Eledumare hence, we can say Ela (light and clarity) is the manifestation of Obatala (king of cross light) which is the fundamental of Eledumare. Since Ela is regarded as the only begotten child and the word of Eledumare, then we can say Ela manifested the fundamental of Eledumare who's a spirit!

Hence, the supreme Force is Eledumare/Olorun and its Ela (word/only begotten child).

Btw, two names mentioned as the only begotten child of Eledumare are Ela and Jewesun/Ye ki ewe sun (the lamb). Since IFA states that Eledumare has only one begotten child (Okanbi), then it means Ela is the same as Jewesun/Ye ki ewe sun (the lamb). That is, Ela is also known as Jewesun (Ye ki ewe sun)

That being said, let me state that just as Yoruba have the cosmos Orishas, Yoruba also have the human Orishas who were quite talented to depict their powerful nature while living on earth. For example, Obatala was the first King of IFE. He and his descendants ruled IFE before Oduduwa of Oke Ora of Ile Ife was also chosen by IFA to rule IFE. So both were chosen by IFA to rule IFE to depict the creation of IFE📌 There's also Ogun, Sango, Osun etc who were all talented humans displaying their talented nature, as also depicted in the cosmos. There's also the human Orunmila who's the first IFA priest to start IFA practice. It was also stated that Ela birthed of a virgin woman (Oyigi) would come thereafter to take over the Orunmila role which had always been Ela's role before the beginning of the universe. So Ela is also referred to as Orunmila like I previously stated✨ Orunmila/Ela has no idol, just like Olodumare.

Another aspects are the innovative, scientific and creative aspects of all these Orishas which should be focused on and bring forth into technical realities. For example, Ogun represent metallurgy and mechanical engineering etc. Oko Orisha represent Agriculture (mechanized farming and agro industrialization). Sango represent electrical energy, industrialization and civilization etc. That's not to mention the mathematics in IFA which includes algebra, geomantic etc.. So IFA is quite deep!

On another note, I have once stated that the three things I noticed that IFA mostly talks about are IWA (Goodness/Responsibility/righteousness), ELA/ORUNMILA (wisdom). IFA says the Orisha is within us and emphasize that human does become an Orisha💤 As a matter of fact, IFA always mention both the Cosmos Orisha and the Yoruba human Orishas (Yoruba ancestors) while laying emphasis on the fact that Human does become an Orisha✨ Hence, anyone who's good (IWA) and intelligent (Ela) to enlighten or innovate things end up becoming an Orisha. So, human should always desire to be good (IWA) and acquire wisdom (Ela/Orunmila) to enlighten others or innovate/create things to make it easier for their fellow humans. Such human is an Orisha.

Thus the basis/essence of a religion should be humanity (goodness), enlightenment and innovation/creativity. Any religion which lacks such is trash! Simple as ABC.

Imagine the rubbish!

Nigeria needs to divide as a matter of fact!

While I think there's something in IFA which is the Yoruba religion because of its accuracy of the world description which is all about light and matter 💤 , and also the innovative creative enlightenment/Idea present in it however, it needs to be interpreted right (especially the ebo sacrifice/animal sacrifices) while the innovative creative ideas should also be focused on to bring such innovation into technical realities.

That being said, it's actually human who makes religion difficult. As a matter of fact, man was made before religion. In fact, any religion which doesn't have humanity as its basis and watchword is trash to begin with. That's what a sane person should know. Human was made before any religion as a matter of fact! Hence a sane person should know this! Humanity is always the basis. Whatever religion created thereafter is meant to enlighten and help in creativity and innovation to make it easier for Humans 💤

Speaking of the Bible, it's says human was created to live on the earth created. Take for example, the supposed God of the Bible always get to the peak of his anger whenever anyone starts to use human being for religion sacrifice or unwarranted killing because of a religion. That's always been the peak of his anger in all cases. Except in cases when it's about defending one's territory against invaders 📌

Hence it's related to two things. Killing "human" for "religious" sacrifice or unwarranted killing of "humans" in the name of any nonsensical "religion". These two things mentioned in quote! Was that also why Jesus came as an example and rose from death to put an end to all such nonsensical sacrifices?

Per adventure Jesus comes back, then he's definitely waging war against the nonsensical fools killing other people unwarranted because of one useless religion or in the name of any useless religion as a matter of fact! I'm looking at the nonsensical Peadophilic Arab terrorist here. Still annoying at how the Arabs murdered North Africans to steal the North African lands! 🙄

Ofemannnu:
But Igbos LOVE criminals like Obi who stole Anambra money and invested it in Fidelity where he is a beneficiary.
He also embezzled Anambra money and transfered it into Pandora bank with his family,according to him.
These are proven criminalities and attested to by Obi himself.
Have you proven any alleged criminality against the SWesterners you accused?
Corruption is not stealing,abi?

Are you taking zomb!ediente serious?

Anyways, the best way to resolve all the damages done by those past governments is by devolution in every sectors!

Devolution in every sectors I repeat! This is the restructuring we're talking about! This also includes regionalism.

Secondly, more Agricultural revolution and industrialization.

Thirdly, checkmating Corruption. This also includes those useless electricity distribution companies who don't even know what they're doing. It should be revoked as a matter of fact and given to technocrats!

And lastly again, devolution in every sectors📍

Is it true that martyrs of Islam are rewarded with 72 virgins when they die and go to Heaven?

Only deranged fools believe such asinine stuff.

Well, Mohammed the paedophilic useless terrorist knows next to nothing except sex and terrorism.

Who's the useless person sponsoring these useless people? These useless terrorist people had better go back to where they came from or be gunned down!

In fact, Nigeria needs to break up!
