ghostwon: Nope, sorry I can't go around an inexistent thing. Oyo empire exists only in Yoruba imagination and history rewriting works of fiction, oyo was a small weakling city-kingdom which got put to sleep.
OK then your previous statement has been rendered worthless. You are after all the blabbering not after history but some ethnic bigotry Soothe yourself.. Like I said before ignorance is your comfort zone
no argument needed, proving ones case is all that matters.
you can go around the areas of the former Oyo empire yourself and find first hand exposure to the evidence since books written on Oyo empire don't convince you
ghostwon: Instead of making your empty statement, why don't you show me a record of oyo empire. The first record about oyo shows a dying and week kingdom being put to sleep by Fulani and it's citizens being sold into slavery. How that translates into an empire is beyond me.
LOL I should argue with you, you who is so comfortable in ignorance
AfroKnight: Lol. First of all you assumed I am religious. You see how stupîd you are? Why are you afraid of your own shadow?
Like I said. Continue your human sacrifice. You will be found out one day and it will be too late. Keep celebrating your depravity. Even wild animals are better than you.
where did I assume you to be religious? Who doesn't know that missionaries and religious preachers are the ones who started and still propagate this allegations of all sorts of evils done in our traditions
You don't need to be religious to be stupid enough to believe and join them without question
ghostwon: The problem with many of you Nigerians is that history is not a science to you. To you, it is a thing to be manipulated in order to fit whatever the purpose you have today. Whereas to people like me, history is a science, studying the passed. Only the truth matters to me, no sugar cutting, just facts. What happened in the passed ? It will take time before many Nigerians are evolved enough to reach this level of sobriety. Your long essay is just an other rewriting of history to make everybody feel good. There is no record of any such thing as "oyo empire" and there is no record of south-south people going to nri for "fair jurisdiction" wtf ?
LOL. After all the "I am after truth" and history is a science You ended with "there's no record of Oyo empire" rendering yourself no different from those you say pursue history for their own manipulative agenda
AfroKnight: You must be a dunce and a criminal to think human sacrifice is excusable in the name of culture. I have probably experienced more palace culture than you have but you just assumed and you just jumped on my comment like an irritating housefly. Borrow a brain since you have none.
Continue your criminality in the name of tradition. One day you will be caught and you would wish you were never born. Ode.
You must be a very useless slowpoke. It's fools like you who have no relevance in life but just go around with deep hatred for anything African. Dumb slave ready to burn his father's house and everything inside down because foreigners tell you so. I'm still waiting for the list of human sacrifice victims, or report from police investigation or reports of missing people linked to the Palaces You iidiots go around with your lies and slander just pull down traditions and install foreign culture to complete the work your masters could not complete
How does this connect us to your last post about odiyan and Odion? How does this nonsense interpret "erin fee pami" back to English?
You recently began digging to my profile on Facebook and turn around to claim you give me no regards when I connect you back to reality.
I have nothing to hide. You are the one screaming "I'm Yoruba and right after my name Yoruba is my only identity" who asked you this before you impose it on them?
That's the ultimate ruse. I have created a vacant place for you to post your oriki, b'ogo eni ba dani loju, afii gbari ni. Yoruba e ko l'ogo.
Afoun pamo nii sami ona.
I have your post where you claimed your ancestors emigrated into Yoruba land about a century ago from the middle belt. You made the post yourself.
Since then you have acculturated into Yoruba culture, you claimed. You can deny this as lie. I have the link.
I won't be surprised if this migration is your inspiration to Oduduwa coming from the middle belt to "civilize" Yoruba as you wont to do.
So you are the online Oduduwa who has married into the local population.
As for olu's info about you, even if your name is ekundayo, will you agree? Oruko omo nii momo sokigbe. The sorrow you think you can give others maximise your joy.
People wonder why modern day Yoruba obas are not well behaved, why they have no knowledge of the history of their towns, why they do nothing but engage in supremacy battles with each other
Why such a person like Akanbi whatever that calls himself emir of Iwo can be an Oba?
People wonder why once great Oba titles can all be thought to be nothing compared to the Oba of Benin?
Well it is because there is war against the traditional Institution of Obaship itself. They want to slowly turn Obaship to life mayorship Because how are you an Oba without the rites? Without the process, without the blessings? Without the guidelines of how to behave as an Oba? Now Obas are rolling on the floor in churches, fist fighting and beating their wives in public, collecting money for endorsement during elections, bastardizing history You are nothing but a con then
plainol: I witnessed the things that followed the death and installation of Alake and Olota, it was a classic case of terrorism, murder and banditry.
People kill people without remorse. It was like a sport for them.
onirọ oṣi And the population of Abeokuta and Ota did not deplete? We didn't hear reports or alarm raised over missing people The police wasn't called in to investigate
Not all aspects of culture should be preserved. Human life is not to be sacrificed because one king died after enjoying a lavish life.
I don't understand why you people are filled with so much hate for yourself like this If that is how we have been killing ourselves won't we have gone extinct by now?
Some foolish missionaries and colonizers told you our traditions are all about killing ourselves and you believed like a gullible fool to forget who you are
sirabu: "Said its passage would further redefine the state’s traditional system by putting a stop to act of cannibalism- a culture inherited from the dark ages". These laws will end the barbaric acts of Oros, that has clashed & caused the death of innocent Muslims in Shagamu, Ede and other devils worshiping kingdoms.
What is barbaric about Oro? And it takes two to clash Let you slaves calling yourselves Muslims who are willing to fight your ancestors and those that represent them because of an Arab religion learn tolerance. Oro existed in Yorùbáland before your Islam... Respect that
baysol: Good development if these can be implemented in all activities and installations, fresh air development will move into South west. Trust me on this one fellow Yorubas.
Your region that has no history and sense of Royal traditions what development do you enjoy?
Olu317: You are the one who is giving the dehydrated brain macof ,the needed attention because, he basically has nothing tangible to offer since iran fulani, Iran Edo don't have oriki except oba Eweka and descendants.
So, once he is afraid to post his family's Oriki , then it shows the fear that grips him. Isn't it a shame on his part for some who always want us to believe, he is an isese man . Femi or whatever his name is, wouldn't surprise me because I have met Edo descendants both patrilineal and matrilineal side who bore Yoruba names as surname and other names respectively .
In fact, my friend got married to one of the man's daughter before, both of us know this damning information.So, I wont be surprised if Femi-macof is an Edo man or Igala or ,Esan man whose mother is linked with Yoruba ancestry, unlike one areafada on NL who simply stood by his patrilineal side and recognised his matrilineal Yoruba side. This the reason I suspect him without that he lacked oriki,which makes him irrelevant in whatsoever way,which has always been the reason ,no one see your opinion as what can be referenced.
2prexios: You've really tried to have gotten his name. I never have an inkling about his identity for 9 years he has been trailing and trolling me.
Yoruba said baaba leni baaba bani, iwon laabani sota mo. This guy has just been a nuisance.
Imaging a man claiming common linguistic ancestry for west and south Africa that could not recognize "cognate" in two kindred languages.
Now here he would be stuck:
if he agrees with me as to Odiyan meaning Odion, his claims that I had been engaged in wordplay all along means that he is mentally dehydrated.
Then his "outbursts turned claims" proves that he is mentally and intellectually deranged. And he has been fighting a blind cause all along.
If he disagrees to the apparent, then it proves that he is mentally deranged and intellectually off range. His claims to nigercongo another anchor for a man without a specific base to launch out.
If he return with another smokescreen as he always do, then he is an incompetent impostor without abilities other than to be invisible when his head is buried in the sand and all his body exposed to the light of the day.
Did you mean he is an elderly man with grown up daughter married to your friend? That's something. So an elderly man is here with us using all sort of vulgar words? It can't be. Abi na so?
Olu317: His name are Makinde Oluwafemi/Olufem . And it seems he is a journalist without substantial portfolio.
Furthermore, there is no way he will agree with you because he is deranged. After all, he claims South Africa and West Africa are same people linguistically. No wonder, he hss been informing with substantial evidence or witnesses.
And again, he said that Yoruba people have spiritual power to overturn delicacy issues as normal. Though it is noormal for misunderstanding to ensues but aftermath effect will be devastating.
So I am Makinde Olufemi, a journalist without portfolio whose daughter just married Olu 's friend I should be either Igala, Igbo, Edo or Esan from my father's side but Yoruba from my mother's side
I'm sorry but how do these guys not make comedic scripts Certainly fitting for you and not history Seriously this could be the god given mission you have been looking for to help your lives cus I've been laughing hard
Let me appreciate how olu's story developed from a certain edo man with yoruba names whose daughter married his friend but the 2prexios didn't understand but that gave a wonderful turn to my interesting back story Amazing. Can you guys use your imagination to find more of my origin like you do with yoruba origin?
I like how instead of providing evidence for your Hebrew claims, you lot put so much mind into my origin. Shows how shacky and devoid of any valuable content you are right now
Eberejesus111: What I'll like to say, my two cents is that all these does not matter. As millenials we should release the grasp of politics and cultures of the 9th century because it holds no importance now.
Do you know these little demarcation we have here, is the reason the whites look more on Africans as weak, power hungry folks.
We always want to show other cultures in far away lands that we "Once" powerful (in quote) and the white or foreign individuals are saying what can you offer us now, tell us? Most of the times which is nothing.
This is the reason I like Chinese men and women. Their culture is rich but you don't see the Mongolians telling the Japanese we were once a big influence or the Japanese lording it on mainland China people, they've passed that level of consciousness.
What we are just doing is trying to feed our archaeologists with the knowledge they want for their textbooks, and nothing else. Which is good, but does it add anything to your personal growth or let me guess an overall EGO is the win.
To me after reading all these tribes whether is the Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba, one thing I observed is each tribe, not leaving the minor tribes too, all had an overall influence in a particular part of the century.
Power is changeable and that's what happened in those centuries, it was passed from this region to this region in particular time periods. And with this the people who witnessed such power transfer, our forefathers per say, couldn't let go of the power their states once had. This is the reason they had passed the info, that Yoruba is most powerful( for the Yoruba).
Let's use an example here,
Child: Papa, why do you like Yoruba tribe
Grandpa: Because we had Oyo empire and we ruled from Hausa land to Benin empire and traded with Igbo people.
The child goes to Benin:
Child: Papa why do you like Benin.
Grandpa: Because we ruled from Yoruba land to Igbo land and even Hausa land. We were very strong.
The child goes to Igbo land:
Child: Papa, why do you like Igbo land
Grandpa: Because we were very strong, we had a shrine called Ibunkpabi that most south-south states came to have fair jurisdiction and even a place in Enugu called Nri that was the spiritual capital.
The child goes to Hausa Land: Child: Papa, why do you like Hausa land
Grandpa: Because we ruled almost everywhere in what is today called present day Nigeria.
If you were the child, how would you feel? So you see it JUST doesn't count anymore.
For me, I've got a lot of friends from almost all tribes in Nigeria. And I don't buy such lame, ignorant info anymore. I guess this is the reason Nigerians need to make out time and travel to other regions, feel a little bit of culture.
In the United States thats what is done, this is the reason they cherish all indigenous cultures.
You make a great point here. Learning or discussing your history should not be about trying to push a bigoted agenda of superiority especially when same history teaches that power changes
2prexios: Do you see how brief and irrelevant to the post your attack is? Because it's a smokescreen to cover the obvious.
You can never get beyond your cover because it can be delicate.
I've seen that the software could not give a sensible reversion to English, and you are not prepared for another scandal after the "e sise si iko Yoruba yin" saga, where you mean this to say "you made mistake in your Yoruba".
A native Yoruba would say "miole rerin" or "mofee rerin ku". What does your version translated to in English? You are thinking from English to Yoruba, using a software.
Your incompetence dossier is on the way
I thought you are the champion for Niger Congo linguistic family? You have methodology learnt from your professor. Can you think out of the box? Yes, you claimed.
If so, how come the same you mocking my claim that odion and odiyan means the same thing when its not long ago you claimed fon and Igbo have vocabulary and semantic connection with the Yoruba?
Of course I know you are snooping on my point about avoseh and afose, and Onitsha and Ado nidu. You failed to provide a valid instance from your professor. You have "mindshare" with me in this circumstance.
So, if the Yoruba who has close affinity with Edo cannot have a word with the same meaning, can you remind me how the two languages could share common origin?
Your mind is not where your senses are, you have no clue what you stand for, you are clever but not intelligent. Since you cannot learn from people more intelligent than you, you failed to recognize "cognate" in two kindred languages.
But you can speak on Viking, French, Norse, Farsi and so on, but a clueless chauffeur on the language of your primary assignment.
You are fighting against your claims.
U're a man void at the core of your being, a thin god unto himself, casting down anyone who never share your dream or sentiments.
When I inferred philosophy, citing great ideas from the heart of secular thinkers, the "healthy" you declared you have no interest in my dream or philosophy. Now that I wax spiritual, you found that to be a sickness.
I thought my dream or philosophy or divinity ought not interest you. Did I stop you from your expression of atheism or whatever ego you choose to believe about the rudder of your life?
Your existence is incomplete when you have not spread hate around your sphere of influence. I am the reason you are alive.
RedboneSmith: When I said progressed, I wasn't only referring to spreading in terms of increasing their numeric spread.
What I was saying in essence was that had colonialism not happened when it did, Yorubaland would have come to a point where the Arabic script would have become entrenched and used to record Yoruba history to the extent that it was used for that objective in northern Nigeria.
well said. This is quite likely as I mentioned "ajami" (which is derived from Arabic script) was already known in Yorùbáland
RedboneSmith: I have a different view. Without the Europeans, Islam would have continued to make progress in Yorubaland and in time a crop of men (and some women) literate in Arabic script would have arisen, just like they did among the Hausa, the Fulani and the Kanuri long before the Europeans arrived.
it still made progress despite the Europeans.
Ibadan for example had more Muslims (and less traditionalists) at Independence than in 1893 The Ajami script would indeed have spread but Islam might not have progressed any further than it has today
aywhy93: It shows how shallow your reasoning is. I'm sure you didn't read all my contributions in this thread, cuz if you do, you won't be mentioning me with weak facts that weighs nothing but dust on a scale.
Constructive arguments requires a lot of sense in various angles. The Tiger doesn't necessarily have to be indigenous to Africa before it could be given a Yoruba name. Have you ever had a snowfall in your village before..? Then why did the Yorubas (including the elders in your village) have a perfect yoruba name for snow..? Make sure you know the difference between snow and hail in Yoruba before you reply.
What Yoruba call yìnyín is actually ice. This word might also have evolved to refer to snow but there's no real Yoruba word for snow
Even growing up, I used to hear something like "o má n jò yìnyín ni Jos" People would often translate this thought as snowing but it was Infact hailstones (òjò yìnyín). The confusion is understandable
This is different from Tiger and Leopard issue here where people are trying to take away the word Ẹkùn from the leopard and give it to an animal that should not be mistaken for a leopard.
Adeba01: I actually remember reading a historical book written about the Yorubas. It actually mentions that traditionally Yorubas are not a seafaring people, so they were not prone to settle in the coast, but due to the Fulani attempted conquest the Yorubas were pushed further south. Interesting.
the book must have been written by someone unfamiliar with the ijebu and itsekiri people
Obalufon: macof Niger Congo bantoid will soon realize all he knows is now obsolete quoting research done by racist white people over 50yrs ago that knows nothing about us , let us write our own history
ghostwon: you don't fully understand the words you use, the "clown" provides proof for all he says while you and your fellow yari.ba never care to prove your claims which the "clown" has already debunked with proof by the way.
better face that una little kingdom and stop talking trash.
Anything Benin kingdom is in Edo state and ends there..
Why aren't others speaking Edo language?
I no blame u....Lol
Una kingdom starts and ends there.
people like that clown are so ignorant and sentimental at the same time that it's useless trying to teach them anything. You don't reason with Bini clowns, they flock together in willful ignorance.
Olu317: 1. The quotes basically testified to that fact that the written inscriptions on the obelisk is not of Africa's pride empire called Egypt because it has been established that the Yoruba ancestors produced machinery tools as well as simple tools such as nails, armour headgear,weaopons etc assumably around 100BC for the use .If you consider the inscriptions, weight of the obelisks, the orderly inserting the nails laboriously to make a meaning and erecting it upwardly, then you know such fit can never be done by amateurs. Having affirmed this,is the reason that made all the interpreters of the obelisk to agree that the inscriptions definitely isn't Hieroglyphs but Semitic group which is said to be Resh and Yod. The idea of it. being Trident or Classic Hebrew signature became the ideal view of these interpreters.
2. Permit to infer here that even these people can't understand the meaning because the inscription you posted has not been interpreted by anyone which I can successfully do the interpretation because I know what it means. Even Yoruba scholar, or anyone can easily know what it means if you can understand Classic Hebrew. But what do I need gain if I exposed what had been coded 1000+ years years ago and I do such interpretation in a forum as this? Never will I do so ,except when my book is ready .Therefore there is no hassle on me from that part.
3. On the resh you issue, don't get too in rush to establish something you see online as the basis for your justification. Besides, the pictographs or inscription or ideograms are transliterated and translated using English alphabets. The question is : Is the English language the Classic Hebrew ? No, the English language isnt Classic Hebrew. Although let's use your understanding of English language to do the translation and transliteration.
Classic Hebrew: רֵישׁ
Transliteration: re'sh
Translation: raysh
On Yoruba alphabets: The ways Yoruba alphabets being used to form words do have slight problem because of some errors. For example:
English (i) (IPA): /aɪ/ (IPA): /aɪ/
Yoruba(e) (IPA): /eɪ/ (IPA): /æɪ/ (IPA): /æ/ is replaced with( i ) when writing but not when pronunciation takes place.
Therefore,Resh is pronounced as rish(rêsh-a),which I posted. Apart from the pronunciation, the reconstruction of Classic Hebrew is spoken language is what western researchers are doing which is thw reason, in the scholarly world, the classic Hebrew is wrongfully pronounced dead,which I intend to proof as false claim.
1. You really need to get over this colonial mentality implanted in you that Africans are uncivilised and incapable of achieving great things. What Yoruba civilization has done doesn't make them "too good" to be African That's playing to the anti-African tune of your enemies Funny enough I don't see any achievements made by the Hebrews outside the spread of elements of their religion (through Christianity and Islam). No great art, no great philosophy, no ingenious use of knowledge, no great empire or especially wealthy Kingdom of Old So what makes these Hebrews superior to Africans that you think Yoruba civilization is so advanced that it can only be Hebrew
Damned your religion has turned you to a Hebrew slave
2. Very funny, so you knew that nobody except you can interpret the "inscriptions" on the Opa Oranmiyan yet you quoted 5 people trying to connect it to Hebrews? This is what I asked you before when you referenced Johnson's claim that the obelisk has the Hebrew letters Yod and Resh You are very inconsistent and don't even know what you are getting at You defended Johnson before, now you say nobody except you or anyone with knowledge of classical Hebrew can know what the obelisk says Classical Hebrew that you don't even know as much as you claim all na wash
3. I posted a video on how the letter "Resh" is pronounced and used in words You don't know more than that Hebrew teacher in the video I have bursted much of your so called Hebrew knowledge in the past and that seems to continue
2prexios: Very insightful post. I love that you mentioned weariness. Juggling life and other stuffs and doing this on the internet. I must tell you we are mistaken making post upon post out here.
My wife always have issues with me doing this. She asked if it's some kind of cultism discussion going on. And why the negative words. .What are we doing here bro? We are not different from the prodigal son, with generational blessings, he think of nothing else to do but squandered all. And for what end exactly?
For Yoruba? Really?
Is this the Yoruba we were sent to? Is this the avenue to reach them? We are dining with swine's here bro. I realized that of late. God planted the swines here to push us to the true task he formed us for.
I agree with you that it's time to stop dining with swine and do the needful. You bring the best in you here and offer it, macof brings nothing but destroy whatever you bring. The Pearl and the swine, how do they connect?
He's smart, he brings nothing to the discussion table. As such, he has nothing to lose, but you know what? You and I have everything we have to lose. Time, confidence, convenience and possibly convictions.
Has he ever offer you a piece of material that forms his believe or principles? You're dealing with an original agent of Satan. A man without valid integrity. The best is to resist the devil, not to contend with it.
He's subtle and you can never win him in his game. You are not playing the game he's playing, neither am I. So I go with your offer to stop squandering the insights we have received so far. It's already been tested.
Archimedes said "give me a place to stand and I will move the world" this is not the place to stand to move the world, it's the idea that you have that must spark and move the whole world. You move the world with your book, not here.
Stop dealing with this unhealthy fellow, sooner or later it will wear you out insulting your dad. He's having the fun of his life and if you continue, you might lose your value. I have stopped on this page dealing with a fellow like that.
I will like to contribute to the making of your book buddy. I will provide you a thousand copy of 100 pages for free if you can make it happen. That should get you busy and out of here till December.
I know it's a hard habit to break, hence I rather use my wife's fone. Put your efforts in your own works, it will speak in the future, not here and now.
Allow macof to teach the Yoruba what they are supposed to know.
Read more, improve on your content presentation, trim off the clutters and you are good. You are versed enough sir. Most of all, drop the "Oduduwa hegemony" to allow even flow of ideas into your plot.
Do we have a deal?
what exactly is this mess? God sent you to Yoruba to declare them Hebrews The man on a divine mission to direct Yoruba to a divine people Master Hebrews are calling
What an overbloated ego that doesn't check with the reality of your knowledge This is what happens when you have no substance outside your imagination
Olu317: The major problem you have is inability to carefully comprehend things to be objective ,instead you are quick to post information that the writers hardly understood the language except through transliteration and translation from Classic Hebrew, Aramiac, Greek to English language.
From the above, let me correct you with the fact that in all the postulation of these researchers, it was either agreed that the name oranyan is not Hieroglyph of Egypt but Hebrew origin which is resh and Yod. Unfortunately for you, it seems, you're desperate to counter what you don't have knowledge on because what you posted ,by the so called Resh and Yod ( ר י) isn't correct . Here are the following Classic Hebrew for reish/resh and Yod/Yud
Reish: ר [ ɣ ] רֵישׁ
The Reish is represented by letter ‘r '.The Reish is pronounced as Yoruba's risha (while æ is pronunced with nasal tone) ,and at times, it is also pronunced as rii,which is the letter ‘r' to mean Ori(head) in Yoruba. While, it is represented by a picture of a man's head.
Furthermore,the word you copied and posted as (ר י) simply transliterate as riy, which is in many quarters is defined as, to see,vision, visual organ etc. Do I need explain to you how it came about? Perhaps, once you're willing to pay for my service, then I will teach you.
Yod/Yud: י[i] יוֹד
Yod/Yud : yod ; which is created by yod+waw+ dalet. This is represented by letter y or i and represented by picture of a ‘peg '.
These were what they called Reish and Yod that's strictly Classic Hebrew in origin. Either Claudia Zaslavsky respect Ayo Ogun or not, the fact is that Ayo Ogun didn't know the meaning of the inscription on Opa Oranmiyan because it is agreed, it is ‘Trident'. And the Trident is seen in many culture of the world as associated to different things.
Most of this doesn't even address the post you quoted.
I don't see how Yod and Resh are represented in the obelisk... That is what you should have addressed
And from your quotes as well as my picture, it is clear that nobody has an accurate interpretation of the studs. Reason more research needs to be conducted... It's ok to declare a topic inconclusive and work towards gaining further insight rather than jumping to conclusions
The Reish is pronounced as Yoruba's risha (while æ is pronunced with nasal tone) ,and at times, it is also pronunced as rii,which is the letter ‘r' to mean Ori(head) in Yoruba. While, it is represented by a picture of a man's head.
First of all Resh is not pronounced as "Risha" but simply as "Resh" Secondly, the Hebrew term for head is not Rii but "Rash" (רֹאשׁ) from where the name for the first alphabet in the word finds its source, reason the alphabet is represented by a head.
The impotent man don't have his children nearby. This is the way Yoruba salute people who "says" excess when they were meant to "do" little.
You could have used your brain to express your thoughts in Yoruba when you said "I'm more Yoruba than your father". That's too much for too little.
Your precision machine could help you interpret this English thought to Yoruba, but cannot break antique word when it needs to.
Then again you could use the machine, why not on the post that question your Origin? You know you won't escape scrutiny if the harmony is broken.
It reminds me of olaochi who could write Yoruba with all the diacritics in place but failed to solve a simple question, interpret.
You are the fraud here bro. To a fraud, every thing fails, only the fraudulent remains.
A fraud never gives anyone benefits of the doubt because fraud lack the attributes of sincerity in its core. So he never take chances.
Fraud will pretend to be who he's not. I am not claiming to be an Israeli national, but rather that the ancient Yoruba migrated from the Levant. That's a research thesis, or observation, not fraud.
You are no Yoruba pretending to be one. That's fraud. You are an imposter.
Hmm, again, you have just failed to see the confirmation of that connection in the oriki because I didn't break it down.
Kai! You are smart but unintelligent.
That you miss this, claiming the oriki implies that the family came from bini shows you are trailing my steps and couldn't find it out yourself.
It's the last straw that breaks the camel. f you are Yoruba, translate what you said about your laughing back to English word for word.
Already the Niger Congo linguistics is your history, elders and scholars have stamped it, you are to defend the culmination of knowledge with the last blood flowing in your vein.
