Why would you even compare ajah to Majek in the first instance? Lol

What's in ajah compared to Majek?

Pathetic liar you are...

The term Yoruba was coined by Sahelian scholar.

Much of the early written works of Yoruba history by the likes of Ajayi Crowther referenced this same Songhai Muslim scholar. The word Yoruba came from him and was propagated by the likes of Ajayi Crowther into the 19th and early 20th century vocabulary.

Never ever in pre-colonial times did the people now known as Yoruba ever refered to themselves as Yoruba.

So that makes OP (me) to be 100% accurate in my assertion that the term Yoruba was coined by an Arab Muslim foriegner

the things I see posted by ibo on nairaland u can never see such in places like Facebook or twitter. I think I should deactivate my nairaland account

Yyeske:
Lol, meaning that part of Yorubaland is populated by the Igbo people so don't drag it with Ndigbo next time. Meanwhile, I need just one name of place or person in Yorubaland with Yoruba as a prefix or suffix to the name.

igbodefender:
He is right.

They migrated from today's Yoruba land as in, they were the original inhabitants of Ile Ife. Some Olucumi also remain as indigenous people of Ile Ife today. That is the Obatala/Oluyare/ Igare people.

Most Anioma are descended from this stock of Igbo. That is why they claim to have come from somewhere in the West.

How they left the Nri area earlier on to become the first to settle in the West? There is a book that explains that. Will get the link and post here.

You are the shameless fool. You said they migrated from Yorubaland and you are still confused as to whether they are Yorubas!

Can igbos in Lagos ever become Yoruba?

Far from home, Yoruba community makes home in Delta State | National Mirror, November 2011 |

— Not many people know that there is an authentic Yoruba community in Delta State. Well, there is. The Oloku Mi people who migrated from Owo/Akure area of the present day Ondo State, have lived in a community known as Ugbodu in Aniocha Local Government Area of Delta State, since circa 11th Century AD. AMOUR UDEMUDE visited the community, and found a people eager to retain as many aspects of their origin as possible.

The couple strolling ahead have all the trappings of the Igbo, especially in the way they are attired and the language of their dialogue. A few metres more, they are at their abode, where a group of kids bid them welcome in a language different from the one they have been using. Their response too is in that same language: a variety of the Yoruba language.

Welcome to Ugbodu, a town in the Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State. Ugbodu is a peaceful community of over 10,000 people and it is agrarian like its Isoko, Urhobo, Izon, Itsekiri and Igbo neighbours. It is also a border town in that it shares boundary with Edo State. But aside their dressings, living , occupation and other things which bear close semblance to that of their neighbours, there is something unique and almost peculiar about them: their language and culture. These are prone to shock any first time visitor which was what happened to the reporter on his first visit.

How could this be? The writer wondered. A visit to the palace, unfortunately, could not solve the riddle. The custodian of the people’s customs and traditions, the monarch, was not around to illuminate the dark areas. It was a young Princess taking the writer down to one of the members of the royal family who could talk, that made the first move at solving the riddle.

“We are a Yoruba speaking community and the name of our language is Oloku mi,” she disclosed. Finally the king, H.R.M. Ayo Isinyemeze, the Oloza (Obi) of Ugbodu, met the desire of the writer. The youthful looking, handsome royal father explained. According to the monarch who is also the chairman of the Traditional Rulers Council in Aniocha North, the Ugbodu Oluku mi speaking people migrated from Owo/Akure axis in the current day Ondo State between 9th and 11th Century AD to settle down in Benin during the reign of King Ogiso of Benin. They, however, had to leave Benin for their current abode after a particular incident which rendered them unsafe.

“The language, Oluku mi is a dialect of the Yoruba. Interestingly, we are not the only speakers of the language. It is spoken even as far as far away Cuba, part of Southern America. Our history dated far back, very far back to the time of Ogiso’s in the Benin Kingdom. “Then, there was a young handsome Prince, the heir apparent to the throne. After the woman gave birth to the Prince, the nobles consulted the oracle and said that the oracle told them that the child should be killed for peace to reign in Benin Kingdom. But eventually he was not killed.

However, when the news filtered into the rest of Benin that the Prince had not been executed, we didn’t feel safe and comfortable. That is to say we first of all settled in Benin at this time, so when this filtered in that this young Prince had been executed, of course our people grew very uneasy and decided to leave Benin, and that was how we ended up here. So, that is how far we can trace our history and when we got here and find the place very conducive and fertile for settlement, of course we have to settle here,” the royal father narrated.

...... What exactly does the name Ugbodu connote, the monarch disclosed “Ugbodu simply means, we have found solace in this land”. http://ukpuru.tumblr.com/post/115435435597/far-from-home-yoruba-community-makes-home-in

Olukwumi is the language of the Igbo aborigines of Ile Ife Moremi Ajesoro contended with in the 10th century.

There is a book about the whole thing, including the origin of the name Olukwumi (Nya na o lukwu mu?)

9jakool:
Hello, I see that you've crawled out of your little rat hole. Let me make some things clear so your little rat brain can stop looking for trouble.

Number 1: It's Olukumi, not Olukumin as the title of this thread suggests. I've even heard of other variations like Olukwumi, and even Lukumi, but never Olukumin.

Number 2: The word Yoruba existed long before Ilorin was ever sacked. The first documentation of "Yoruba" was not even by a Hausa but by a Songhai scholar in the 1500s. Ilorin was annexed some centuries later.

Number 3: There is no such thing as "Hausa/Fulani" dialect. Hausa and Fulfulde are completely separate languages on their own right.

Number 4: "Yoruba" is not a derogatory term in the so called "Hausa/Fulani" dialect nor was it ever used as a mockery term. It was simply a name for an ethnic group SW of the Niger River.

Number 5: There is nothing like "Oyoroba." You made that up in your rat brain. The term that Hausas use is "Yorubawa" which is just how they say Yoruba in their language.

Now that you've been educated, you can now crawl back to the hole you came from.

Typical Nigerian doesn't know that the oil region in Rivers was carved out of Old Imo state. And still, despite this evil act by Nigerian government and British, Imo still has oil. A foreign oil worker once told me that there are more oil in SE than SS; that the government strategically lies to Nigerians especially SS to make it seem like the oil is only in SS, so that they will see Igbos as after their oil, thereby creating division among them which perpetuates One Nigeria to the benefit of North. And this has worked fantastically for decades but Nnamdi Kanu has dealt a big blow to that lie.

OWERRI—THE Association of Imo Petroleum Marketers and Dealers, AIPMD, has revealed that there are over 160 oil fields in the state.

Speaking to Vanguard in Owerri, the chairman, AIPMD, Mr. Chinedu Ndubuisi, also argued that having a database of oil companies operating in Imo state, would help create opportunities for the people.

His statement is coming at a time, a litre of petrol is said to be selling between N165 and N170, as against N145 government approved pump price in the state.

On some of the reasons for the one day conference with the theme: “Consolidation of Imo Petroleum Sector” he said: “The society is becoming a global village. We are trying to open up opportunities, attract investors and obviously, if we are able to tap into this, it will raise a lot.”

Ndubuisi disclosed that, “We have assets in terms of oil and gas deposit in Imo state, but as we speak now, there are over 160 oil fields situated in about 12 locations in Imo state.

“We have so many oil companies in the state, do we have the database to say that this is exactly what we have? We rely on the database of NNPC, and other oil companies to assess our own data.”

None of my business anyway. I hereby sentence kogites to more blood letting from their masters the Fulani herdsmen. They campaigned and voted for change, so they should create more burial ground space for their dead.

I just want to say something on the freedom of religion that is enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution. First of all, it is not an absolute right, which means that there are limits to how and where you can practice your religion. Secondly, the same constitution expressly bans a state religion which means that the government is supposed to be religiously neutral in the affairs of governance.

On this particular matter, the Nigerian Constitution empowers the Law school or any other body to decide what it's dress code is. To wear Hijab is not a fundamental human right, it is not even a fundamental religious right (There are many islamic scholars that believe that wearing hijab is not compulsory, and even among the Umnah there is still serious debate on the compulsoriness of the hijab, only the hardline extremist wahabi and salafist with some fundamentalist islam emphasises Hijab) and as such it is the fundamental right of the Law school to decide to be religiously neutral in its dress code.

This is not an Islamic country. If the muslims want a full blown sharia country, let them be united and ask for a country and they can partition the country and the muslims can have there Islamic State run by the dictates of sharia or Islam. This is becoming outrageous by the day. You have this terrorist Ishaq of MURIC spitting hate speeches everyday and inflaming tensions.

Any muslim woman that feels that she can never be complete without the hijab, should not study Law in Nigeria. I wonder how such Islamic Lawyers with that kind of mindset can fairly defend a christian. Bringing religion into governance is bound to lead to a civil war sooner or later. This is why it is banned in the constitution.

What an arrant nonsenstical story, how could ibb issues warning to all Nigerian high commission around the world not to issue visa to witches and wizards and that's why all their visa were cancelled, chaiii what a hoax and an arranged drama and fools truly believed this drama? Anyone who believed such dramatic episode is either living in ignorance or a full, because there is no way someone can apply for a visa as a witch or a wizard and witches and wizards don't need to be physically before they meet, they are in spirit and actually only true witches and wizards knows and sees God and they are the angels you hear, forget about church stories, God himself is a core wizard that no one understands and that's why he can't reveal himself to fools but only the wise, Idahosa is deeply occultic and a wizard and he knows what fools don't and that's why he succeeded in deceiving them with hoaxed dramas lol, am in my house, argue with your ancestors
