Akure is Ekiti including Ilaramokin, Igbara oke,Ijare, Iju, Itaogbolu

are u sure Akure is Ekiti? although I've never heard the Akure dialect properly

walexy30:
This thread reminds me of Ekiti Igbomina Parapo. The group was formed to counter the aggressions from the Ibadan warriors and the Nupes.

That is why in a state like Kwara where you have the two subethnic groups fast becoming one. Example: Senator Simeon Ajibola - PDP Governorship candidate in the state.

yeah! Ekiti did collaborate with her neighbors a lot.

Ihuomadinihu:
Lol,am not on nairaland to please anyone. I saw you defensive and spiteful responses to her claming she knows nothing about yoruba. I mentioned it was a familiar habit of yours,where you free to garivant on non yoruba issues which you know nothing about. And the moment someone talks about your culture,she or he is labelled a dunce. Just like you sleep on Igbo threads,let Igbos also sleep on this one without calling them ignorant.
Igbo is world history,yes! But i far as i know you've only been a troll on igbo threads,contributing more confusion than solution.

pls we have aaddressed this... move on if you have something else to say rather than going in circles

the person you are defending already admitted her ignorance and lack of interest on yoruba matters. .. whereas I have much interest in Igbo matters
as to me being a troll,I can only say you don't know far enough

I love your brash support for your husband.

Meanwhile, The plaintiffs are super dumb.

@macof

Hi, I'm sorry about my last couple of posts above. All of that was totally uncalled for. I sincerely apologize.

that's OK. I never took offence though

walexy30:
I always enjoy your arguments. Are you a lawyer?

nt yet sir

Ihuomadinihu:
You are no authority on Igbo history,think twice before jumping all over igbo threads with your baseless judgements and disapproval on what does not concern you or your history. That's all. Like i said,hebrew stuff is for another thread. Nevertheless,hebrew or no hebrew, censor your comments if you have to contribute to stuffs that are not related to you. I have seen you force some ignorant opinions on Igbos,don't understand why you should become defensive when others do the same on your history?
And who are you to dismiss ugbo-igbo oral history so abruptly without academic back ups? There is always a dash of truth in everything,it's left for you to seek for truth without adding your tribal sentiments.

did I ever tell you anything like igbo came from here or there to suggest me claiming an authority, it's you claiming an authority on Igbo and yoruba. .I asked simply for proof of your claims if you can't then you have nothing to say
Igbo history is part of world History, everybody can ask questions and contribute, if you were not aware be so now
you were the one that brought up hebrews here, the person you were even quoting showed little interest in what you were talking about

pls don't insult yourself with the bold again
I should be asking you to provide academic backup for such claims
but that would be a waste of time, as the very Ugbo people are known today as the Ilaje
I'd like to see you prove that the Ilaje aren't the Ugbos bt the Igbo of SE Nigeria are

Ihuomadinihu:
Hebrew or eurasian whatever is for another thread. Why would an adult like me be afraid of facing you directly? Lol.
It's absurd how you go running your mouth abi fingers on numerous igbo threads writing what you have no idea about. Yet when an Igbo contributes a word on Yoruba threads,you come out with your long fangs,claiming they know nothing about Yoruba.
Just learn to respect people's thread especially when it's connected to their oral tales. Just like you have dismissed Igbo-ugbo-yoruba tales,it would be better if you stick to your history and solve its mystery. Igbos will equally solve theirs,as technology and genetics advances.

Oh I have full idea what am writing about, it's very simple really. .you're trying to propagate a claim, I want to learn I ask for proof you have none you flare up you act like your fellow igbos haven't kicked your hebrew claim right out in your face
Oh so now hebrew origin is recorded in Igbo oral tales? this is new

why should anybody say things like Ugbo are igbo or Ijebu-Igbo are Igbo or Egba are igbo and you expect me not to correct such shameful blunder. ..again your comparison doesn't relate with me

Ihuomadinihu:
Never mind,he is always there,esp when igbo is mentioned along side hebrew or some distant culture.

Ihuomadinihu:
And he doesn't know a thing about the Igbo nation. Girl,you can say whatever you want afterall he is they one jumping around on Igbo threads and topics. Especially when he doesn't know a thing about Igbos. Respect is reciprocal! I expect him to equally stay away from Igbo stuffs as it doesn't concern him. Old habits die hard,they say!

why don't you face me directly? ever since I asked for proof to ur ridiculous claims you've been hating on me is such proof of the name of the geneticis that discovered Euriasian gene in Yoruba so hard to furnish? btw you keep saying I know nothing of the Igbo Apparently I know better than you - who claims Hebrew origin of the Igbo without evidence or any sort of compelling proof just wishful thinking

I love culture and history that includes the Igbo's so this quite different from the case of somegirl1 who doesn't care about the yoruba yet comments on what she knows nothing about calling it insane myth

how can one appreciate what he doesn't understand or wish to understand?

somegirl1:
Because I was interested in the comment. Surely I don't need to explain to you how it is possible to be interested in a single comment and not the main article.
I'm not really interested in learning about the yoruba nation, I reiterate.

You seem to want to run this around. it's very simple really
you agreed wit a comment exposing the posters ignorance of Yoruba origin that he likens to tortoise tale and describes as insanity

that's why I quoted a beautiful comment by Pharoh

irunoobo:
islam is peace. watch what u say

more llike piss

somegirl1:
Perhaps if you'd taken your own advice, you'd have noticed that I simply agreed with the comment below.

exactly why you needed me to call you to order
why agree with the comment if you don't care and aren't affected by Yorubas. . plus you don't even know a thing about the yoruba nation

somegirl1:
You should take your own advice i.e read my comment and understand before responding to my comment.
I glossed through the article. I wasn't interested enough to read in detail hence my not commenting on the main article but responded to a comment that caught my interest...which I read and perfectly understood before repreplying.

I understood your comment but you don't understand what you comment about

InesQor:
Sour grapes.

So you knew I have nothing to offer yet you came on to me like a b!tch on heat? Don't you have better things to do with your time?

I thought you were supposed to ignore my comments

lepasharon:
@rossike the pharoah mentioned in the bible was supposedly found to be king ramses

No. recent research proves otherwise

somegirl1:

Where did I state that it affected me? Or that I care to know about "the yoruba"?

read and understand this before u come talking about people you supposedly don't care about

Pharoh:
The yoruba origin story is very deep and like most cultural myths it is only the initiated that has this deep understanding of those stories, not even the common yoruba people talkless of outsiders.

since u aren't affected or care about yoruba issues stay away then

InesQor:
It is sensible to see the context of my original post and deduce that in the phrase "It must have been controlled by a prime-mover, and for me that's God", God is being used as a proper noun to name supreme deity that was a prime mover or creator.

The next question might then be "Who is this God you speak of?" (Then I'll tell you other things to help you identify this being) or "What is your religion / worldview?" (Which macof knew very well but he was clearly being mischievous), rather than the obtuse "Which God?" (Followed by allegations of delusion when their logic fails), because God as used in that context has only one meaning: creator.

Whatever worldview supports the idea of God as used there is secondary; in my usage God meant "creator". Surely that's clear to any objective mind.

Yet to a Christian this "God" is Jehova father of Jesus who is also himself
to a Muslim this "God" is very different

so when you uuse the word "god" try to make it clear by which of the numerous Gods is the prime mover
Allah? Jehova? Brahman? they are so many
you don't have to force the word into a proper noun. . its nt
try takin nouns like Allah, Jehova, Olodumare as proper nouns

InesQor:
I remember you better now, macof. I should have simply ignored you. Have fun.

You have nothing to offer anyway

InesQor:
Oh now I'm "little one" because we don't agree? I see your brand of condescension is gradually surfacing.

God is NOT a title when it is used as a proper noun. macof is a proper noun. InesQor is a proper noun. Nairaland is a proper noun. Nigeria is a proper noun. Read more about proper nouns here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_noun

A more appropriate question you could have been asking in this context of a proper noun is "Who is God?" and not "Which God"?

lmao you are a little one because you don't understand this basic logic. .. anyway you are free to let your pastor decree what God is
doesn't stop a Muslim from having a different God

InesQor:
Okay, there are so many... what? So many God?

Edit: I didn't say "my God" or "my god" or "a god" or "god". I said "God", and it's a proper noun that has one meaning.
Just like saying "I was talking to macof" and you ask me "Which one?" as if macof isn't a proper noun in the Nairaland context.

Oh! little one you don't understand a thing

God is nt a name lik macof.. its a title
macof can be given a title by his people, goosebaba given the same title by his people and we both bare the same title
say the title is "Eze"
macof is Eze (the only Eze to his people)
goosyb is Eze to his own people too

now is there only one Eze?

Fayose is a fool.

Yet this comment describes a bigger fool

Young03:
man pray oo
dats d only way to succed in life

...and nt by working hard
Who ever says hard work and dedication is the key to success is a liar

Nostalgia21:
Yes. That is the right thing to do.
I like that man

No the right thing to do is for the aero engineers to check the plane is in the right condition to fly and the pilot is capable of handling the flight

With this done - God shouldn't need prayer to grant journey mercy

Of what use is kneeling in public
Jesus never did that

In fact he preached silent prayer. . After all its btw you and your God

Why do Christians like making their religious shinanigans into a public matter?

InesQor:
God is a proper noun, and it generally means "supreme deity". I don't see how there can be so many "supremes".

So again, I'll ask, which one(s) do you know?

Again they are so many cus The believers define their God

InesQor:
Which one do you know?

Bros they are so many
That's why I asked which one?

somegirl1:
A good number seem to take that fairytale seriously.

And how does this affect you? You don't even know a thing about the yoruba

Abuamam:
Your opinion bro. I prefer to think of the Sharia as made for the benefit of mankind; when properly implemented with the necessary knowledge.

This is complete fact
Sharia has put people who have no business with Arab culture accept it as God's mandate
This again is subject to abuse by imams who would love to make sheeps out of their faithful

ROSSIKE:
Hahaha.... Kai... My people. ''Pharaoh'' is not the name of anyone who ever existed. ''Pharaoh'' was a title given to a king of Egypt, just like ''Oba'' is a title for a Yoruba king. Egypt had hundreds of Pharaohs in a long line of dynastic, monarchical kingship spanning thousands of years. Each Pharaoh had a name, eg Pharaoh Akhenaton, Pharaoh Tutunkhamun, Pharaoh Rameses, Khufu, Thutmose, Sneferu, Djekafre Isesi, Menkaure, Neferefre, Bakare etc etc (Note the African names - Egypt was a black African empire for thousands of years prior to foreign invasions). The bible to my knowledge doesn't actually mention any Pharaoh by name, simply saying ''the Pharaoh'' did this or said that.. So saying ''King Pharaoh'' did this or that is an admission of comical illiteracy regarding what one is talking about.

I've been looking into the account of the plagues of egypt recently and I realized most actually happened but over a long time - many generations but probably somehow the jews heard of this and decided to bank on it by putting their God into the equation

InesQor:
To clarify, evolution does not claim there's a need for a designer. Neither does it claim there is no need for one.

What I do know is that it acknowledges that evolution works in a way such that it "betters" the product. To me, that can't be a random process. It must have been controlled by a prime-mover, and for me that's God.

Which God?

bigfrancis21:
pazienza, please don't engage that thing in an argument. That thing called heavy mental issues. I have known it and its countless monikers since 2013. Believe me, you don't want to waste your energy on it.

lmao look how you calling someone "it"
