It seems Ilekehd is about to take aresa's position as regards Lagos

Oga mi, beeni ni o

My apologies to those of you with low data, I'm about to infiltrate this thread with Lagos pictures.

Any opposer?

How can we claim that a group is not Yoruba when Ekiti /Ondo is quite different from Oyo?

And who made Oyo the language and the rest dialects?

I see itsekiri as another Yoruba dialect.

superstar1:
No, she was killed by the Ibadan warriors.

She killed a slave girl for getting pregnant. She accused another slave of impregnating her, whereas it was her younger brother that is responsible and the younger brother actually lay claim to the pregnancy. All pleas fell on her deaf ears, She instructed the lady to be beheaded, but the slave by an dthe younger brother connived and made the lady to escape. She killed them all and still executed the lady.

The King summoned her to the palace several times, she never showed up The King later gave the final order that she must be brought to the palace whether dead or alive. He dispatched the fiercest warriors to her house. She was eventually overpowered, but se committed suicide before they could effect the arrest.

She was very close friend of Madam Tinubu, the iyalode of Egba,

Chaiiii!

Funjosh:
Yea you will still understand these ones. If you have travelled round most of the Yoruba town you will still pick 50-60 percent of what they speak.

But not the Akoko people

Never heard about them or their dialect.

Got a youtube link?

superstar1:
Efunsetan. she was not a queen.

She was very mean because she did not have any child. She was very rich and powerful. She has many slaves and she was always maltreating them. She was the Iyalode. More or less like the Leader of women.

Then, she was controlling the route between Eko and Ibadan. The egbas and ibadan always deal directly in trade through her. she was an agent/middleman. She usually takes a certain percentage from both sides.

She was bold, confident and very intelligent. I do not know whether she wwas pretty sha.lol

I like mean women

Eventually her slaves killed her.

ProfShymex:
Lol. Tilapia is not and will never be Ijebu. We don't breed nutjobs.

She's from Taraba but surprisingly she only speaks mandarin. That's how mentally effed up Tilapia is.

Please don't quote me when you talk about her.

*runs*

Funjosh:
Akure Dialect and Ekiti is almost similar, but Ondo Dialect is a different from them.

Interesting.

I understood 10% of what she's saying

ProfShymex:
Lol.

I only know two Ijebu chics on here - yetseyi and some funkybabe that used to post back in the day. Only yetseyi is active and I doubt she speaks Ijebu, tbh.

I think tpia is Ijebu. Ask her for lessons.

SpicyJosBabe:
So u guys are stroking my people abi?

Well, all tribal names appear strange to people who are not familiar with the people of that tribe.

I am from Plateau and my full name is SANGJAT JANE MWANSAT. Plateau names are the best. we rock.

May God bless Gov Simon Bako Lalong, our amiable governor and may he rule the state well in Jesus name. Amen!

We don hear. Which type of rock i.e sedimentary rock?

superstar1:
Naaaaa.

Such level of high handedness can lead to the king being deposed. At the same time, you dare not be rude to the King or the chiefs.

Ok

I remember Queen E (forget her name). Losing her daughter to childbirth changed her.

Beautiful green landscape

Aareonakakanfo:
Not sure about this but i know they still flog leeches

lmaooooooooo omg

ProfShymex:
Lol. This is just basically nyggahs in Paris speaking in tongues. I'm still struggling with normal Yoruba, you're trying to confuse me with Ekiti. Thanks but no thanks.

Post some Ijebu...I wanna learn that. I know "Eweso" for greetings (I don't even know the meaning of the word but I know you greet an Ijebu person by saying it) - but I don't know how to respond to it in Ijebu.

I don't speak Ijebu o.

Sorry. Ijebu people plenty for NL tho, find one Ijebu mamacita to speak in tongues



@Aareonakakanfo

How different is your Ondo dialect from Ekiti?

omusiliyu:


As in politically Rivers state is finished.

Oluwarotimi Otayomi Amaechi is involved

lmao

laudate:
Ah, ok thanks. My former boss is the son of the old king, not the present one.

But sha, these Yoruba kings are imposing, o! And very regal. Abi, na only my eye dey see am? How fear no go catch person wey wan misbehave for their palace or their front, sef??

Did Yoruba kings used to flog peasants back in the days?

coolitempa:
My brother......you guys have done a fantastic job on this thread.....since I have been away,.......I am playing serious catch up....

Don't mind that one. I'm your brother/sister jare

Oya tete...

ProfShymex:
Was Ekiti founded by one of Oduduwa's children?

I believe Ijebus are more connected to Obalufe in ife and most likely left before Oduduwa got to Ife. This is just my hypothesis cos Obalufe is from the Aremo quarters and that looks like Remo. Then you have the Obanta thing as well.

Ya parents are proper Ekiti folks. My mum and dad can't even speak Ijebu at all(maybe my dad can string a few Ijebu words together) and my dad is super proud of his Ijebu roots...shame on that nyggah lol. My mum also can't speak Egba but I've got Egba aunts who speak with the Egba accent (most sexy Yoruba accent IMO) and my nan also speaks with a little Egba accent.

I don't know. Ekiti was part of Ondo for a while.

90% of the time, they converse in Ekiti.



Oyo | Ekiti

Isu | Usu
e pkele o | In o ra
è | in
wa | bo si bi




etc

The baby doesn't look mixed

prettyboi1989:
if a large percentage of them were really racist ow come obama won their votes? theres a fine line between being a reasonable candidate n being a jerk. a jerk is what donald trump is. i guess americans wont wana vote in a jerk who verbally assaults people, he myt even take a piss at those who voted him in if he shud win.

Obama won because it was a new/fresh idea. On his second tern, his ideas won.

But that D.ump has nothing to write home about.

ProfShymex:
Honestly, I don't know much about Yoruba dialects and I believe the common Yoruba in Nigeria is the Oyo dialect since that was the dialect used in writing standard Nigerian Yoruba. And since they're not in Nigeria, whatever dialect they speak will be different. Coupled with the fact that they also speak french.

Maybe, those who under Yoruba dialects and linguistics can shed more light on the Yoruba they speak there, by comparing the dialects of the towns Oduduwa's children founded, just to get a proper understanding of what their dialect would sound like.

I'm fluent in my understanding of 2 ekiti dialects .... mom/dad sides.

But I'm more fluent in orally speaking my mom's dialect. Ekiti sounds so sexyyyy

And of course 90%+ Yorubas are fluent in Oyo dialect.

ProfShymex:
Bwahahaha

I know ya Ekiti and Ondo folks have no love for Ijebus...even Ijeshas who're very similar to Ijebus.

I understand why Ekitis and Ijeshas would feel a certain way due to bad blood from the past. But Ondo is a mystery. And I believe Ondo, especially Owo, are culturally similar to Ijebus in a lot of ways. Heck, even Owo and Ijebu arts share a lot of similarities. Then you have the Ilaje folks who're also similar to Ijebu waterside culturally.

Yoruba mythology does believe in a higher being. I don't know much about Ifa - but from the little I've read, the nucleus is about "Eleda" and "Ori inu". And those two right there are about a higher being. Yes, I'm also not a fan of foreign religions - Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism et al...but I know there's a supreme being.

Personally, I don't even think I'm meant to be alive today cos I've been in a lot of situations where I should be been dead time ago (when I was younger and wild as fvck) - but something/someone miraculously kept me alive. And even sometimes whenever I self-destruct, there's always something/someone out there that puts me back in line to continue my journey in life. So who am I to disown the supreme being? That's what I always tell my darg who's an atheist...the whole atheism thing is Un-African and it's a new trick by white folks to enslave the souls and spirits of black people. Don't fall for the scam - there's a supreme being.

I said she told me things, not bad things.

All I know about Ijebu people is their business skills.

You're alive because of Eledumare (not the Jews outcast).

The more you look the less you see.

From Asylum seeker to "refugee"....... i.e Houston. Free "visa" to the USA/Europe.

The idea is almost brilliant.

As of Saturday, no fewer than three videos were seen on the online video sharing platform, YouTube, in which some Igbo denounced their citizenship of the country and declared their allegiance to Biafra.

The Nigeria Immigration Service has, however, warned that such act is criminal and attracts a jail term.

In one of the videos, the man introduced himself as Emenike Michael Nwofor.

He said, “My names are (sic) Emenike Michael Nwaofor. I’m from Nnewi in Biafra land; when there was Biafra, there wasn’t anything called Anambra State. I would refuse to add that name called Anambra State to it. I am from Nnewi, the former Enugu State.

“I am living here in Bordeaux (France); I am an asylum seeker in Bordeaux. I have been around Bordeaux for a year plus and we have been able to gather the Biafran family here in France; we have been able to register with the government of France as indigenous people of Biafra.”

After a long speech, he subsequently brought out his Nigerian passport and tore the pages.

In another video, a young man, who did not mention his name, also tore his Nigerian passport angrily.

In the third video, the man, who spoke in Igbo and French, tore his passport while using derogatory words on the government of Nigeria.

The Public Relations Officer of the NIS, Deputy Comptroller Ekpedeme King, while reacting to the development in an interview with our correspondent on Saturday, said the service was not aware of the passport tearing.

King said, “There is a new Act called the Immigration Act 2015 which stipulates the punishment for any alteration or destruction of Nigerian passport; it is a jail term with conditions.

“Those who mentioned their names, if we find out that they tore their passports, will be taken to court. A process has to be followed.”

Checks by our correspondents showed that the Immigration Act 2015, among other conditions, states, “Altering existing travel documents renders the holder on conviction of a two million naira fine and/or imprisonment for a term of three years.”

The Department of State Services had reportedly arrested and detained the founder of the guerrilla broadcasting channel, Radio Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport Lagos on his arrival from London recently.

The Nigerian Police had also arrested and arraigned many members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra and other secessionist groups recently.

Thousands of members and supporters of MASSOB had last Tuesday embarked on a protest in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, demanding to break away from Nigeria.

In a swift reaction, governors in the South-East and other leaders in the zone had dissociated themselves from the protests, saying they were not in support of the group.

A former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (retd.), while speaking to Channels TV on Friday during his visit to Nasarawa State, had said the resurgence of a group claiming to be Pro-Biafra would not in any way pose a threat to the sovereignty of the country.
