CultureRe: Oduduwa Isn't The Father Of The 'Yorubas' by lawani(m): 4:36pm On Jan 31, 2019
Father does not always mean father literally. If I say Awolowo is the father of Yoruba I would be right but he is not the father literally. Father can also mean ancestor like Nimrod is the father of Oduduwa.
Foreign AffairsChina And India by lawani(op):
If the Chinese and the Indians resort to income tax as is obtainable in western nations, then their income may go up by at least 400 per cent and they would become real giants. What sets the industrialized world apart is income tax. There should be no under the table employment or economic activities. Every employee should be in a triangular relationship with the employer and the government.

CultureOgbaragada Is Abracadabra? by lawani(op): 1:47pm On Jan 24, 2019
In the odu ofun meji, Ogbaragada is mentioned with regards to creation.

Ogbaragada
A difa fun Odu mi a da dede iwa......
.........


Abracadabra is a word used to conjure things by western magicians.

The two words, Ogbaragada and Abracadabra sound alike and I think they mean the same. It points to a time in the past that the ancient Yoruba were in contact with those who use Abracadabra for magical creation.

Well if I asked you too where Odùduwà came from, I have a feeling you would give a wrong answer too, despite being Yoruba yourself. They know yorubas in the majority don't know where Odùduwà is from and use this to their own benefit
We know Oduduwa described himself as a son or descendant of Nimrod and that is enough

1. If you claim we speak Kemitic, why is Orun(Sun) not in Kemitic lexicon but presence in both Yoruba and early Hebrew? And Yoruba of today still held strongly to many Hebrew words

2. Why is ba not in Kemitic lexicon but appeared in both Yoruba and Early Hebrew?

3.Why is Yoruba sculpture classified as Middle East. origin?

4. Why is the Ooni sculpture holding a ram's horn and not present in Kemitic world?

5. Why is Opa Oranmiyan not Kemitic hieroglyphs but Early Hebrew word ?

6. Have you read that Bantu parted away from Yoruba over 87,000 years ago on genetic study?



Bro, it s not about being distinct from rest Africans but Who were the ancestors of the Yorubas which has always been the puzzle. Lastly verify my question very well with evidence nd not opinion to counter them all.

The only

but it is clear enough that ancient hebrew is kemitic egyptian, the sun is aten in kemitic egyptian. Since hebrews lived in Egypt 400 years they acquired that language. A pharaoh was named Akhenaten just thesame way people bear akinogun or akinosun nowadays
CultureRe: Who Are These Yorubas? by lawani(m): 8:36pm On Dec 26, 2018
When the hebrews escaped from Egypt they were speaking kemitic egyptian but in Canaan they lost that language to a semitic tongue. We are speaking kemitic egyptian today and we got it from egyptians not hebrews. When the Egyptian empire fell, the Egyptians trekked down here

No sir, they are not because :

1. The Egyptians didn't exhume the dead but only Yoruba and Hebrew.

2. Egyptians mummified their kings,unlike Yoruba and old Hebrew that don't mummify

3.The Egyptians hadc an image of God with a man as havingbram's horn unlike Yoruba and Hebrew who had a formless God

4.The Egyptians do not wear caps like rabbi's cap unlike Yoruba and Hebrew

5. Egyptians do not pour water on the feet of a bride about entering her husband's home unlike Yoruba and Hebrew.

6. The Egyptians have no culture which make the younger ones prostrate to older man as a form of salutation as Yorubas did and do and old Hebrew did .

As you can see Yoruba aren't Egyptians but lived in that land while traveling through down to the forest zone in West Africa. In fact, go verify what was ‘one(1)' called in old Hebrew.



Cheers.
ancient hebrew is kemitic egyptian is ancient Yoruba . Yoruba is totally different from hebrew, our theology is almost opposite as Yoruba worship virtually everything while hebrews worship only yahweh

Linguistic analysis of of a language of a community; Dominant, Subordinate and Monolingual

A typical profile of a speech community (A— Cushitic/Kemitic) in contact with another group (B—Yoruba/Hebrew), is that if ( A— Cushitic/Kemitic) is dominated by (B—Yoruba/Hebrew), the language of the community then change from monolingual (A—cushitic/kemitic ) to bilingual (Ab—Cushites/Kemitic & yoruba/hebrew ).This mean that (A—Cushitic/Kemitic)becomes dominant,while B— Yoruba/Hebrewb becomes subordinate). If AB— Cushite/Kemitic & Yoruba/Hebrew ( A—Cushitic/Kemitic and B—Yoruba/Hebrew becomes equals ), then it becomes aB— cushitic/kemitic & Yoruba/Hebrew( A—cushitic/kemitic subordinate ,B—Yoruba/Hebrew becomes dominant) i.e If Both language are spoken on equal basis based on the contact of the former group and new comer group to the community, it then becomes (‘A'—Cushitic/Kemitic ; the older community is a subordinate while the new comer group ‘B'—Yoruba/Hebrew; becomes dominant and finally to monolingual B—Yoruba/Hebrew

These three types of bilingualism may be described as,’ ‘Supplementary '( AB—Cushite/Kemitic & Yoruba/Hebrew ; in which B— Yoruba/Hebrew is only an occasional ,‘Hilfssprache', for specific purposes).

‘Complementary'( AB—Cushitic/Kemitic & Yoruba/Hebrew ; in which the two alternate according to important functions in the speakers lives),

and ‘Replacive'(aB— yoruba& Cushitic/Kemitc; in which A— Cushitic/Kemitic has become only a language used with older people while B— Yoruba/Hebrew fulfils all the important functions). Another set of terms might be inceptive, functional and residual,when these three types are seen as historically ordered in a transitional bilingualism.

Invariably, the Yoruba language is old Hebrew,even if there are borrowed words from other groups. Thus the formula above is the way Yoruba language invaded Ibira land,Edo,some Tapas,ibos, etc that mixed with Yorubas through bordering towns.


Note: The book written by ‘Einar Haugen,Ecology of Language', will be helpful.
what I want you to realise is that ancient hebrew is thesame as kemitic egyptian which Yoruba is

Olu317:
Well, No sir, because the Yoruba ancestors who developed the idea of survival theory through their invention knew the complexity of the world. Unfortunately you and others underestimated the word of ‘SHEPHERD' . DÁ ÉRÁN is an ancient and Yoruba word and without yoruba ancestors being Shepherds,such lexicon will not emanate. Beside, advanced knowledge of ancient Yorubas made them domesticated some animals during the olden days. Have you suddenly forgotten this idea?

Infact when the Yoruba ancestors were domesticating animals and rearing them ,others didn't realise there were difference between the hunting and rearing. You see ignorance has made a lot of people see things with over spiritual eyes because there is nothing like people from outer space. In fact the most archived information in Ifa Corpus does not have anything as outer space of Yoruba people but migration information.
so because Shepherd is in our vocab it means our people were nomads? The ugbo are called omo atorunwo, children of those who landed from outer space. Even the Bible in Genesis talks of people landing from outer space

Your are absolute wrong because the last word I shared isn't a LEXICON FOUND IN EGYPT . In fact ,Oru(heat) emanated when Yoruba ancestors appeared in IRAQ (OR/UR of Mesopotamia) before migration took them to the land of Ai(Aiyè).Let me inform you that the Yoruba ancestors arrived the land of Kannan and captured it. Hence they intermarried with the earlier settlement of people of they captured
but what are you saying? What we speak today is it kemitic egyptian or ancient hebrew?

lawani,ancient Egyptians weren't one ethnic group but an empire like today's U.S.A , Old Russia, where different ethnic group lived for one reason or the other.

Let me make you see yourself as the ancient Hebrew man with this word lale(night). The well interpreted early Hebrew language by unbiased western Hebrew linguists who dedicated their time to the knowledge of reconstruction of early Hebrew.


The revelation is that no other group speaks this early Hebrews and ancient Ishmaelites in Africa except Yorubas .... cheesy
what you refer to as ancient hebrew is kemitic egyptian which is what yorubas speak today by over 50percent of vocabulary . Hebrew is a new group by far junior to yoruba
