How do you proof this?

LincolnLynn:
I was discussing the topic with a female friend sometimes back(We are both Muslims) and she said polygamy isn't based on the ability of the man to provide for his large family but on his ability to sexually satisfy his wives,i asked her about feeding,clothing,medic care,education..She said God will provide all that.At that time,i realized i've been friend with poverty personified..I'm from a polygamous home myself and I tell you.it's evil,evil in its every sense..

My problem with religious people is that they all believe their own religious beliefs is better than other people
most of us are Christians because we were born into a Christian home

every religion teaches peace and a true God that made all things

Olu317:
I look forward to reading from your understanding of Egyptians elements who mixed up with Yorubas.

dagboss:
@poster you forgot to mention the Kiriji war whereby after incessant harassment by Ibadan soldiers a rag tag Ekiti Parapo army comprising soldiers from many small Ekiti communities under the command of the ruthless Commander named Ogedengbe Agbogun Gboro of Okemesi-Ekiti who not only defeated the Ibadan warriors, but also decimated them and pursued them far into Ibadan before withdrawing. The picture of the man is at National Archives in University of Ibadan and his statue is still at Okemesi-Ekiti till today.

Mosttimes , people kept mistaking identity of ancient yorubas as as young as 5000 years ago as from Egypt. Well,a lot of people don't see beyond Kmt or Nubians as if these were the only ethnicities in Africa as at this period, instead of people to realise that these places are kingdom that reigned, where people lived for survivals either locals or foreigners. In fact there is a revelation in Ifa that pinned migration of Yorubas as coming from oorun to aayé. Is this about Heaven and Earth? . Do you know ‘or' is in ancient Iraq and ‘Ai' is also in Israel land? Or/UR means ORU(Yoruba) : HEAT. Wisdom and research solves a lot of myth without proofs.

Furthermore, there is an archeological human fossil that was discovered in Israel which is over 150 years old whichnulled Yoruba's current claim as the ancetors of humanoid as being claimed by Yoruba oral tradition. In fact,the fossil, dated to nearly 200,000 years ago, is almost twice as old as any previous Homo sapiens remains. So NIGERIA IS A PIECE OF LIES IF CLAIMED BY NOVICE AS IT CONCERN FACT ON YORUBA'S ANCESTORS HISTORY. Yoruba ancestors developed their own alphabets using Kemitic knowledge to achieve the outstanding techniques the world ever known. Another interesting thing about Yoruba o that they developed a knowledge of animal names which is baffling because larger set of animal names are clearly descriptive through their knowledge. Example: Akuko(cork)—A-ku(n)-ko(r), O' ru ko(goat) etc.

Fact:
There is no one group originally called Hebrew because
the definitive origin of the term "Hebrew" remains uncertain. Thus,the Biblical term Ivri ( עברי ; Hebrew pronunciation: [ʕivˈri] ), meaning "to traverse" or "to pass over", is usually rendered as Hebrew in English, from the ancient Greek Ἑβραῖος and the Latin Hebraeus. The Biblical word Ivri has the plural form Ivrim , or
Ibrim. So linguists,archeologists,egyptologists, historians rely on every new discovery or discovered pictographs which are translated.

1. 5000 years ago, kemitic egypt was just starting.
2. hebrew nation is not as old as 5000 years
3. outside the bible(which is not a credible historical source) hebrews are nowhere recorded to have been slaves in Egypt
4. Yoruba language and Egyptian language are totally different....Egyptian is/was a Cushitic language...i dont see the connection between Cushitic languages and Volta-Niger languages.. so please provide this 'proof' since according to you it has already been proven that Yoruba descended from ancient Egyptian...it should be easy, just direct me to the academic work that contains this proof

macof:
i have told you before that i do not stand in your way of proving the possibility of middle eastern origin of yoruba

i even opened a thread for you to answer all my over 30 questions https://www.nairaland.com/4735900/unanswered-questions-yorubas-hebrew-heritage
which you just kept repeating the same thing, thereby wasting my already limited time

But one thing is already established - the yoruba language is a volta-niger language having linguistic origins with other volta-niger languages. So if at all yoruba ancestors came from israel, they would have adopted the yoruba language just as Danes adopted French after settling in Normandy.... even though traces of hebrew 'might' be there the language is still Volta-niger not semitic.

Now your job is to provide proof of this migration and hebrew elements in yorubaland, if you cannot then you should shut up

sjeezy8,

Herbert Macaulay was not a Yoruba. He was of Sierra Leone Creole descent. Do not peddle such lies. He was just raised in Lagos. It is like calling an Igbo raised in Lagos a Yoruba.

Like I said, I don't understand why people like Lagos so much. Calabar is a much more descent place.

sjeezy8:
stop lying the only yoruba guy in igboland is the one who has that wack azz taxi business.

iamgenius:
What do you mean by son of God? A son could either be spiritual(in religious sense) or biological.

Do you know what "egocentric" means?

BlastAfonja:
My friend you are helplessly boring to be fair. Hehehe
Igbos rule from Rivers to Delta, we are King. Very soon we will rule your Yorubaland. But Ilorin as i speak is in the hands of Fulani King. When Igbos are talking cowards like you will also wanna show yourself abi?? Nice try...

Chinachriss:
Such pusillanimous fellows! Can they engage the North? It is only the Igbos that will any day anytime, engage the North. The Ewedu people will only cower and retract like that antennae of a snail. Ndi ala!

Chinachriss:
You're just whipping up highfalutin sentiments. Any proof? I argue with facts!

Chinachriss:
Now, a quick and fast one:

If that list were to be authentic, then why this?

The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was an Ibo man.
• The first Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos was an Ibo man.
• The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Ibo man.

Igbos got all those posts because their NCNC was in alliance with the NPC. Yoruba were in


Does it mean, the Igbos outwitted the Yoruba Professors and
rode to the zenith of leadership even in Yoruba land?

Igbos, we are too much!
