Kingsdave:
True bro... I'm from Enugu , our parents keeps telling us not to marry any girl from IMO... My uncles and other kindred guys that married from IMO married problem... Their lifestyle is wack. If you were rich and married them... Any slight down fall... You are on your own... For better we stay... For worse i disappear

Lamanii22:
Igbo tribe... I don't know why my mom wouldn't let me marry from there... but I believe love conquers... I see nothing in marrying from other tribe(s)...

ayomikuolatunji:
Yorubas also hate each other when it comes to marriage. I am a Yoruba from osun but live in Lagos, ilaje area in ajegunle to be precise,ilaje hates other Yorubas. They hardly see themselves as Yoruba. And other Yorubas hate them too. You hear an average ilaje man or woman saying Those Yoruba too like fight ..are they not Yorubas? They bear Yoruba names,wear Yoruba dress in fact they are Yoruba. But illiterate among them is annoying and wicked. My mum said she will disown me if I ever say I want to marry from ilaje,but I am in love with one already and I love her die. She even survived sniper taken when her mum tries separating us. God saved me she didn't die if not I for dey prison. Tribalism is high among Yorubas but they don't show it

Starz825:
Just wait and see the argument wey go enter this thread na...

This is a Tribalistic thread

ayomikuolatunji:
ilaje tribe because their women are like dogs but dating one already... I don't know how to break it... we even took two different oats..one is blood and the other only know to me. Don't know what the future will be like. Our boths parents already told us we can't marry..but we turn deaf ears. She said when she is 25 years she will get pregnant for me so that nothing will separate us

Sirvingeo:
I am from Imo state and my mum is from Anambra . she always warned me never to marry Imo ladies because of their promiscuous lifestyle . I later discovered it was the uncouth truth.

AcetylLily:

When her father's actions led to loss of thousands millions of lives??

nagoma:
And you think that they should not be disgusted by the audacious Igbo invasion and the criminal abduction of their children?

If this happened to SE children the whole media , electronic and papers will write tons about it. International Criminal Court (ICC) and UN will be bombarded with complaints, there will be shouts of Jihad! Islamization agenda, genocide, and the children of hate on NL will amplify and IPOB call for Biafra will be intensified with demonstrations in Abuja , lagos and Enugu and all European Capitals.

Shameless evil people.

GidiWoodsMan:
The Arabia story is nonsense. Nobody knows for sure where Yoruba come from but they definitely predate Arabia & its religion.

kotv:
Considering the meaning of the word Yoruba according to FFK, I believe FFK history on the name due to that tribe’s character fits the description.

GidiWoodsMan:
How do you pass your exams? I just told you it has no meaning. Google 'exonym'

xoxocandy:
Is it this same hot Nigeria they'd wear this raincoat

thatigboman:
meaning what? Named by who?

GidiWoodsMan:
Bro I don't give a fūck about the meaning of 'Ibo'.

I'm 'Yoruba' for your info, never Ibo. But the word 'Yoruba' has no meaning in the language of the people it's used to characterise.

It's an exonym, given to the people of that common tongue by a Fulani (itself an exonym) man. Get knowledge, it's power. PS: If you come back at me I'll def. school you further.

Cosbyrich:
thatyeeboman indeed
There are old manuscripts that affirmed that Yoruba came from Egypt or Arabia/Mecca.They had everyday words like Araba etc.
Yoruba means invoking God Almighty for all positivities.It was gotten from Ya Rabi....which means Oh God ...in Arabic.It later metamorphosed into Ya Rabawa,Ya Raba until it became Yoruba.

What is the meaning of Igbo?

GidiWoodsMan:
What does the word 'Yoruba' mean in its own language? Do you know the root of the word?

thatigboman:
ask the dahomey women that slaughtered your grandfathers from cotonou to abeokuta, where your entire families ran and hid under a rock

Biafrannuke:
I expect you to give sources and quote historical document that referenced the word "Yoruba" before the early 19th century. Everything else remain your opinion.

thatigboman:
Op, u say, oyibo corrupted 'igbo' to 'ibo'. what was then corrupted to form 'yoruba'?

Makuos19:
And their biggest city is more developed than the whole of Oyo, Ogun, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti.
