Maybe this is the cure to men being polygamous in nature, being unrepentant philanderers who expect to get away with bad behavior.

Let us see how he will cheat now.

Iceberg3:
That's the truth,they've never made any of their own president! They sold a whole popular ACN away to a less and unpopular CPC and made a northerner president!

They mention Obj today but heaven knows they rejected him during 1999 elections. Today both obj and the man they supported 1999,Falae,are more or less villains to them!!!!

Is it not foolishness,that I'm attacking you whereas it's what you are looking for that I'm also searching for?!?!

These people are a huge abomination to us other south.
Fyi,I'm Edo

RamessesIV:
Santeria is a Yoruba religion that "spread in the americas" the america is "where it is practiced" "santeria again america",,Yoruba religion doesn't mean it must be from Yoruba land,Yoruba is not limited to south-west Nigeria again read up transaltantic slave trade
Santería developed among Afro-Cuban communities amid the Atlantic slave trade of the 16th to 19th centuries. It arose through the blending of the traditional religions brought to Cuba by "enslaved West Africans", the majority of them "Yoruba", and the Roman Catholic teachings of the Spanish colonialists who then controlled the island i hope you get how the "yoruba religion spread in america" again this fact,fact like you can go enter youtube and see for yourself lol again why are you bringing up African religions in the Americans lol you want to tie yourself so bad,Oga bring evidence he is bringing twisted words ������quote author=MetaPhysical post=88932527]

Which land in Yoruba practice Santeria, and how did you know it is Yoruba religion....what informed this? Remember there is nothing in Yoruba language called Santeria...it is a foreign term.

macof:
More excuses
That was a response to every point you made.

If it appears jumbled up then that should tell you something about the post it was in response to

RamessesIV:
�������� santeria is a Yoruba religion spread in the americas,do puerto riccans claim yoruba heritage Is like saying calling an igbo catholic italian cause they use latin ����,And hope you know we have afro-latinas these are the ones whose ancestors brought the religion and help it spread,again that's not how etymology works,Yoruba language is a language native again native to yoruba people and is has over 1 million speakers and is of the niger-congo language,hebrew/Arabic are semitic in the middle east there is no correlation,no history,not relation you can't compare with afro-latinas,and Africans Americans there is evidence factual evidence again etymology,etymology ����

RamessesIV:
OK OK let me review the supposed relations,first of the Kaaba means literally "cube",and oga that's not how etymology works Kaaba and kaabiyesi are not the same thing,different languages,they don't even sound the same,they are not even the same languages,these are just discrepencies twisted to fit a narrative,I can come up with lots of japanese words that are similar to my Edo language but that doesn't show a relation between the two cultures ����,funny enough they are yoruba words that were borrowed from Hausa and islam,again is not even Hebrew heritage it's arabic,mecca was In arabia,even the kaaba you mentioned was a shrine of worship fot various arab people in arabia and syria,and again islam there is no evidence of any middle eastern influence in Yoruba land aside islam or maybe berber traders,cause yorubas used arab looking sword.

macof:
You didn't address so many points and just make excuses and jump to more claims

OK, now you have said you never claimed the Yoruba are semitic but rather the semitic people derived their culture, traditions and language from the Yoruba who used to live in the middle East long before the supposed time of Abraham
That should put the Yoruba presence in that region to earlier than 2000BC
Never forget this, because I know you suck at chronology

How come the studies on semitic culture and language hasn't been found to descend from or be influenced by the Yoruba?
The semitic people have had a writting culture for over 4000 years, meaning they possessed the ability to retain history better than civilizations without writing culture
One major reason silly people are quick to conclude that Africa had no history

Now let's say ok, Yoruba who civilized the semitic people, left them and went down to West Africa
Somehow they lost the writing culture of the middle East?
I would have said they also lost their language but you claim Yoruba is still an Afro-asiatic language.. So oK

You used the example of afro descendants in the americas and asked how do we know they are really afro descendants?
Well first thing is that there are records of it from 3 continents
1. Africa where they came from
2. Europe who was involved in their transportation
3. America where they arrived

And no evidence exists to debunk these records
But evidence exists to support them

Now my further questions are
What records from Yorùbáland exist and what records from the middle exist.. That state Yoruba were in the middle East? Under what names were the Yoruba called in the middle East? because we know the Yoruba never had a single name to refer to all speakers of the Yoruba language so surely the Yoruba were not a unified group when they were in the middle East right?



I could easily just end this by asking you what your source for this "it is believed Yoruba are noahdic" and "Yoruba Language is proto-semitic".. But let's go on and analyse the whole post, I will ask you later

isn't Abraham a descendant of Noah according to Hebrew narratives?
I am unsure of what Arabs say
(@RamessesIV. Can you educate me on this as you would know more about this)

So logically Abrahamics are Noahdics too.

And earlier you said Arabs descended from Ad now you say they descended from Abraham
Why the inconsistencies? You don't get to shift argument like that what da heck

And don't tell me I'm mixing anything up, you lack consistency and all 4 of you (absoluteSuccess, olu317 and obalufon included) support each other but when you get called out and you have no come back, you switch to a new argument and leave your brothers in the cold.

wait what exactly are you doing? Are you seriously implying the black people of the americas are not African?
Because you need to be clear on that

But to address the question.. yes several enslaved Africans who were born in Africa and regained freedom mentioned their original names and described their homeland and family in Africa. And in some cases descendants of an enslaved African born retained information about their homeland like in the case of Kunta Kinte's descendants

For an enslaved people forced to lose their identity that is impressive....

Oludah Equiano, Cudjo Lewis, Ayuba Suleiman Diallo and Abdul-Rahman ibn Sori are only few examples
If you are interested in the topic of enslaved Africans go and get their biographies and autobiographies because I don't get why you even think this is comparable to your claim of yoruba originating from the middle East



Except Sigidi doesn't mean to "prostrate". It refers to a clay effigy, the very core nature of the word "sigidi" is the characteristic of the object not that people prostrate to it or sing to it or pour oil on it. The name has nothing to do with the actions people do with it


Furthermore, you would have to explain the evolution of the word Shigidi to Sujud and apply same method to many other words to get your desired Cognates



You don't concern yourself with genetics but you bragged about possessing sources that state Yoruba and bedoiuns share same haplogroup

Another change of argument

And the role of a priest is what? If not to hold knowledge of what he is a priest of
He is the priest of oduduwa yet you say his role is not to posses information about Oduduwa's origin?
Where do arokin get their information from if not from the priests and families themselves?
If an arokin comes and sings something he heard from someone else about my family in a bid to surprise me, so I can't tell the arokin that his informant is wrong?
Arokin are mere praise singers

Obalufon:
Macof the Niger Congo advocate , Semitic or semolina .Yoruba history is beyond your comprehension.,.

macof:
What is your evidence that Kaaba means place of exaltation
Every dictionary gives the definition of Cube, Square
