Ihuomadinihu: It is foolishness if you don't know that Oyibo is an Igboword. It is also foolishness when you fail to realise that no Igbo claims Ashewo to be Igbo. The Igbo word for Ashewo is Akwunakwuna or Iko for side chick and that is what we use in deep igbo conversations. It is also foolishness when you have refuse to acknowledge that Yoruba,Hausa and Igbo made movies before 1992 but what we know as Nollywood has igbo written all over it. Pls refer to threads about Nollywood.
yoruba started movie first since 1960s in lagos hope u know that? it was it that later becomes Nollywood
bigfrancis21: The thing is millions of Yorubas know that Nollywood is an Igbo industry and they see their industry as different from Nollywood. Nigeria's movie industry is divided into 2 major factions: the AGN in charge of Nollywood proper showcasing Igbo culture in the English language and also in charge of Igbo language movies and ATNP in charge of Yoruba movies. The Yorubas arguing on this forum all know this but are pushing their luck too far. The switch from Igbo to English provided the avenue for the expression of talents by non-Igbos actors, actresses, producers, and directors. This accommodation does not mean the industry is any less Igbo owned.
Stop chest-beating, over nothing, there is nothing like igbo Nollywood. We have d English Nollywood which came out of Yoruba movie industry (Nigerian Cinema) in the 1970s and later become Nigerian movie industry known as (Nollywood). Yorubas founded English Nollywood and Yorubawood. The real Nollywood is the Yorubawood
The Hausa movie industry started theirs in the Northern part later(Hausawood). We all know if we give igbo people an inch, they will go miles. That's exactly what is happening in the Nigerian Movie industry, music industry e.t.c in the south west
But for now, there is nothing like igbo movie industry in the eastern part. English Nollywood comprises all Nigerian Culture not igbo alone. that's why in a Single movie, you can see an Hausa man, Yoruba, Edo 's culture e.t.c
nwanlecha: Also, as an easterner, most of the words the OP put up as part of mainstream Pidgin English, are strange to me. They are probably restricted to the lingo in the SW. Growing up in the East, we knew more of Hausa words 'cause there were and are still so many Northerners in Igbo land, just as The North has the most population of Igbo migrants in Nigeria. Yoruba land is the least destination for Ndi Igbo in Nigeria, except maybe Lagos yet, Yorubas make the most noise about having Ndi Igbo in their land, which I find very funny.
what do you mean? You are a Joker of the higest order. South west of Nigeria has d largest igbo people in the world. Igbos in Ekiti alone is more than the ibos in d entire north. if d population of igbos in d South west is like that of the north, there wouldn't be any igbo in the South east again. Believe me
nwanlecha: Oga, akara, akamu, ogbono, egusi, agidi, oyibo, are all Igbo words. The three major ethnic groups have contributed greatly to the evolution of Pidgin English in Nigeria. The claim made by the OP is simply laughable.
Oga Oyibo you are wrong sister.This are d words ur people took back home frm interaction with yorubas.
Phut: You are guilty of what you accuse Igbo's. It seems once a word from any of the native languages becomes part of mainstream pidgin, you turn and claim it to be Yoruba. Kaura5000 and VodlerGrimsbane have already schooled you on Wahala being a Hausa word.
Another is Oga/Ogaranya which a 100 % Igbo word and not Yoruba. Oga/Ogaranya = Rich man/Boss in Igbo. Go ask your elders the Yoruba word for Boss because it sure ain't Oga
BTW, I just saw "Mama" on your list. You must be a joker
No u r d Joker, see you, claiming all d words but d credit will always be giving to d source. Oga is now igbo word abi? don't say it arround any yoruba person. Nice night
i'll tell you people, love ur culture like you love yours. Stop claiming yoruba is yours just bcuz of Millions of you has migrated to yorubaland.
bigfrancis21: This debate has been had on nairaland before and have provided the link below:
Oyibo has always been the word for white man used by the Igbos since, at least, the 17th century. And no, the Igbos did not borrow it from the Yorubas. It is often said that the word "oyibo" itself was a nickname given to Europeans by Igbo people since they found it difficult to pronounce "onye Igbo" and instead said "oyi ibo" when referring to Igbos. The earliest record of the Igbo usage of the word can be found in Olaudah Equiano's book where he mentioned that his people referred to 'red-skinned' men as 'oyeeboe'. Note, this was at a time when there was barely any contact between the Igbos on the east and Yorubas on the west and both areas were separated by the Bini kingdom located in between. Also, a christian missionary in old Aboh kingdom, an Igbo-speaking kingdom in modern-day Delta Igbo, wrote of his experienced and noted that the people often referred to him as 'oeboe'. This published evidence proves that the Igbos have been using 'Oyibo' since the last 300 years.
On the other hand, there is no evidence that Oyibo is of Yoruba origin. Being sister languages, Igbo and Yoruba share so many similar words in common such as nti/eti for ear, mmili/omi for water, okwute/okuta for stone/rock etc. Proper, Oyinbo can be said to be the Yoruba way of pronunciation and 'Oyibo' the Igbo word for the same thing. 'Peeled skin' meaning whatever is not a definitive basis for your conclusion.
Even more evidencing is the fact that across several tribes in southern Nigeria, the word for a European person is 'Oyibo' except only in Yoruba land where it is 'Oyinbo'. The Igalas who are said to have a Yoruboid language even use 'Oyibo' and not 'Oyinbo'.
At best, it can be said that Oyibo is Igbo pronunciation, Oyinbo is Yoruba pronunciation. Just as Igbos have 'gini' and Yorubas have 'kini'.
Long before d white people came, Yorubas has always been using "Oyinbo" for the albinos or white animals. Meaning peeled skin, Removed skin, d ibos writers r just too biased when it comes to claiming somethings r theres without research.
Ose or Oshey ; Thank you Oluwa; God Baba; Father Jo; please Oya or Otiya Patapata; everything Lailai; Never Lepa; Slim Orobo; Fat Ajebutter; Wealthy person Ajepako; Poor person Yeye; Joke Keke; Bicycle Igbo; weed or Bush Oga; Boss Mama; mother
Yeeeebos must u focefully attached to other people's culture and hate yours?
Here are the words igbo writers claims is theirs all over the internet:
1.Oyinbo or Oyibo; Peeled skin or white Animals 2. Akata; Wild, Sturborn, black American or Nigerian American 3.Ogbeni Mr Man 4.Ashewo, asewo or Ashawo. 5.Wahala Problem 6.Abi; "Question mark" 7.Shebi; is it? 8.Pele; please 9.Omo; Child 10.Oja; Market 11.Shey is it? 12.Mumu 13, Ode
Goodboiyy: This 1 you they give me kiss so, abi you don they like me ? ..
Well itsekiri love Yoruba too.. That y u see them always forming alliance with Them. but the only problem we have with them is the identity stuff.. we hate been called Yoruba..
u r a stupid urobo/igborilla guy. Never call urself itsekiri again cuz it has shows you are not itsekiri.
You hate being called yoruba what do u mean abt that?
Are the itsekiris in Ondo-state not claiming yorubas? yes of cuz they are
why are d Odua people's congress on ur lands? why is it 99% of ur names yoruba names? why is ur language yoruba? why do u worship yoruba's traditional religions?
Yoruba language Speakers are d yorubas, You speak yoruba and u r typing poo. go and find ur Itsekiri language and leave yorubas out of everything, let's see how it work out 4 u.
Stop causing hatred between yoruba and d Itsekiris all bcus u r not Yoruba or Itsekiri u dis igbo illiterate bastard.
