Oshigun:
If you're the right type of investor then why would anyone ever have issues with you? With all dues respect, I think it is obvious Igbos are unreasonable people for the singular fact they all never ask themselves "why us alone?".

Are there no other non-Yorubas investors in the SW like Edos, Tivs, Urhobo, etal ? Why have Yorubas never had any issues with them let alone ask them to leave?

Perhaps it is because those guys get on with their lives, personal progress and happiness rather than be obsessed with fighting and insulting their hosts as you Igbos are.

But I can tell you that Anioma is never going to be Igbo, not now, not tomorrow, NEVER.

Where are you residing now as we speak? Let me guess, Abuja or Lagos.

Olajide why are you worked up this morning , Why dont you go back to your herdsmen ravaged Ogbomosho where your ancestors came from?

macof:
"Ugbo" are not more aboriginal than the other Isoro groups in Ife. Neither was the conflict between Aborigines and Foreigners... It was a civil war. Its funny how you are defensive over a story that isn't even told by igbo ancestors but by yoruba ancestors

Already you have defeated your argument by "they didn't know how they got there". Meaning there's no such thing in their traditions and all these are just recent attempts to fill in a void and unknown period of existence with elements from yoruba stories. So again, you can't know anything of what you are saying.. You still have to depend on yoruba history for what you claim is grand igbo history even as far as saying Proto-igbo of 8000 BC were the ones referred to, adding timeline inconsistencies. We should be getting all the narratives from igbos, but we get only reworked versions of the Yoruba narratives, where igbos have now been inserted

Fabricated bullshitt didn't stop you from reading and talking about it in the absence of any history from your side. Because its not as if you have the "non-fabricated bullshitt" that is independent of the fabricated one.
Worry more about igbo history, that's what the thread is about, instead of worrying about what the problem with yoruba history is, which tells more about your lack of understanding and limited knowledge on the subject matter than a problem with the traditional stories themselves. It's ok to be confused when you have little understanding of something but don't project that on everything, that should be on you alone.

Anyway, let's not digress. The thread should remain focused on Proto-igbo... In this case, it makes no sense to even dwell on Ife-Ugbo conflict

macof:
1. You wouldn't know this. It's not like there's any additional to the story that is coming from Igbo speaking towns.. The entire story from start to finish exists only in Yorùbá speaking areas but somehow the grand story is about Igbos and only the tiny piece is about yorubas

2. "Igbo" is standard Yoruba dialect, "Ugbo" is central and south Eastern Yoruba dialects... Which both Ife and Ilaje fall into, so yes Ugbo is actually what they called themselves then, as they still do now
As far as historians can 'recall' is also all you have. So what is the issue exactly?

AjaanaOka:
You know, I thought the -okun there would have something to do with the sea, but Blier ascribed a different interpretation to it.

Help me clarify something: was Igbomokun in ancient Ife, or was it somewhere towards the sea in the Ilaje area (as some people have said)?

Also, can you give some examples of -ku- words from other Volta-Niger languages that signify the sea? I would think that since the homeland of the Volta-Niger languages was far from the sea they wouldn't have a common word for sea.

macof:
Lol. I'm sure you know the people in this history of Ife are the Ugbo of Ilaje?

Also you spoke of an 8000 BC migration of Proto-igbo into the modern Ife area or something like that earlier(you weren't very coherent)
You do realise the Ugbo part of Ife history is very very recent in the grand scale of things? 12th - 14th century to be exact.
No way Proto-igbo left Ife 12th - 14th century if they were indeed in Ife before migrating South and then east according to you.

AjaanaOka:
I guess you must be referring to the tradition that Ife in its earliest period was called Igbomokun (interpreted as 'the dawn belongs to the Igbo).

AjaanaOka:
The story of a pre-Oduduwa population in the Ife area known as "Igbo" is fairly well-known; and that wasn't what I was asking about. What I was seeking clarification on is the use of the word/place-name "Omoku" which I have never encountered being used in relation to Ife at any period in its history.

AjaanaOka:
This "Omoku" part is entirely news to me. Are you suggesting there was an aboriginal group at present-day Ife who knew the area as Omoku, before the town became Yoruba? Is there a paper or an article written on this that I can access?

[color=#990000]Your edited version says they live on water in Lagos.

That line was the dead give-away because the Ijebus of Lagos don’t live on water.

Will you now explain why you edited out “Eboe” and replaced it with “Jebu”?

Were you trying to protect the identity of your ape-like Osu refugee grandmother who unfortunately features in the pictures??

Audience this is the story line so far....

I showed Tao11 an innocent photo of ijebu women including tao11s grandma taken by British in the 1900s with their breast hanging out like paw paw

Tao11 got angry and started throwing tantrums that I edited the image and put "jebu" ( as if I dont know how to spell "ijebu" if I was about editing evidence )

Please have I done any wrong by digging out a rare old picture of Tao11s grandma with other ijebu women?

Below is the unedited version of your Osu grandmother’s picture.

Stop denying your Osu grandmother just because she is ape-like.
