I await them next year

What does that girl have on, is that bra or what?

Things like this should be restricted to strip club.

I also notice a lot of women dressing in what i would call lingerie.

Rap videos showcasing strip dancers in skimpy has set a new tone. Now even girls with professional jobs dress like they are strippers.

dochenaj:
Nudity should be condemned, as it is a violation of the other person's eyes. But never can rape and nudity be at the same level. Never.

Precisely!

aspirebig:
Tomorrow, when you see someone dressed half naked, rape her ok.

He did not rape her though. He said he would. There are manybpeople on internet that say "i will kill you".

Lets put things into perspective.

To everyone blaming the guy I ask you to go to bank and withdraw 10000 naira. Spread it on your car dashboard and leave the car parked in public. What kind of attention do you think it will attract?

aspirebig:
The guy is seriously sick and needs help.

No he is not. She dressed for the occassion he expressed. She invited such call from him.

Who dresses like that in public? She ought to be arrested for public indecency and nvdity.

She must be sex starved and believed only way to pull a sex is to go out with exposed breasts. Nasty!

macof:
LOL the similar response to what I expected. Of course no way are you ready to scrutinize your claims

Do provide your source on such oral accounts and evidence of arts, religious practice and the rest

And you still haven't answered the question on Oranmiyan.

You accused me of being biased. I want to show you I am not and I will be willing to buy one of your ideas if you can prove it
I know you have many ideas, ideas you create out of your wild imagination but that's not how history works

But im not an historian. Im not telling history. Im telling the past accounts of my phenomenal ancestors and their achievements as represented in symbolism, in arts, in words, in language, worship, war, priesthood and so on.

What do you want to know about Oranmiyan? You are stuck on the Aramean concept.

In Yoruba Oranmiyan himself would have either been a titular label or an attribute of his legend.

We dont say Lamidi when we refer to Alaafin. Just Alaafin alone and people know who you are talking about.

We dont say Adeyeye when we want to mention Ooni.

Do you think Oranmiyan was the given name to the Yoruba legend?

Try to think....dont just open mouth and spew anything out. Act like a Yoruba, even if you are not one. Stop speaking and revealing yourself as a pseudo-Yoruba.

Adefatima:
Yorubas didn’t celebrate awolowo when he was alive ?
Are you igbos daft like this
Metaphysical come and here another Ibo propaganda

Every christmas season when ibo go home they are loaded with new script of propaganda. That script is what they will play repeatedly until they return home next year. They dont bother to check if it sounds reasonable or not.

I bet you that ipob is in village as we speak.

macof:
I see the burn has subsided and you are calmer now

Oh and I didn't intend to teach you something new. This isn't the first time I would be hitting your head with lectures like these... I was reminding you who I am
And why you need to take history seriously around historians since you want to do a historians job. I might clown sometimes but this entire situation is not a joke

Here you are again with more claims. Do you have evidence for them? Or just how did you even reach this conclusion? What was your method? Did you check the etymology of these words, did you consider the available historical narratives? Are there recorded contacts between the Yoruba and the Nabateans and Edomites?
Have you familiarised yourself with who these people were?
Did you check for archaeological findings? Did you bother to include distance and the millions of people between Yorùbáland and the Middle East? Or what are your sources?

Try doing so and filter your claims... Take out those weak ones that scrumble when you scrutinize them yourself

I am always unbiased. You are just too emotional and can't stand questions


And I asked you earlier if you knew the historical narrative about Oranmiyan that earned him the name Oranmiyan in the first place? You never answered

Let's make this a proper lecture if you aren't too emotional for it

Reserve your solicitation for someone else. Everything I say in that post Ive said many times before.

I have also told you many times before now that history is behind oral records and art records. History goes to oral source to collect information it uses to produce knowledge. The information I share with you are also found in arts, in occults, in words, in religion and even in myths.

You are too small and academically insufficient to be abreast of me on the topic of root and origin of Yoruba, return here with a phd in history, I will still be ahead bringing you new ideas, and you will be in same position lamenting lack of methodology.

Lamanii22:
Amen... Thank you so much Hun.. I really appreciate you...

You are welcome darling.

We must bring jungle justice back for people like this.

Lamanii22:
I swear... Me I really have to careful cause i'm too nice.. And my mom usually warn me a lot... May evil people not find me ooo in Jesus' name.. Amen.

Amen!
Yes, please do. God will protect and shield around you and ward off evil eye comot for your body.

Anyone that invite you out must come to your place to pick you up so people see who he is. If he cant come you sef cant make it. Unless na people they are are comfortable with.

This story is terrifying. These people have used somebody like this before. They have a process and steps...even say nothing will happen to them. Can you imagine?

absoluteSuccess:
I think I have a thread about this title some years back. Origin of the name Yoruba. I have a booklet of the same title printed. I'm presently out of print of the same title.

The best I can say is that the present Yoruba are at sea when it comes to the semantic accomplishments of the founding fathers. We may never be able to decode all their works.

We know how the word "Yoruba" came to the literary circle through the Timbuktu scholar Ahmed Baba about the treatise on slavery. But the question is what the very word means.

I have my conclusion that has not changed. It's only fact that will stand for all times. Every assumption will fail in the course of time no matter how well thought out.

I have to give it to the ancient scholars again because all we have as "akanlo ede" as Yoruba comes from the encoded semantics of the same ancient scribes.

Yoruba as a word comprises of three syllables Yo/ru/ba. This is an ancient sentence. The meaning is already given. But to proof it's indigenous, we can harness it's integers.

1. Oruba: there's a place by this name at Ota. All we need to do is find out the tradition built around such a quarter. It's time to let go of foolishness of holding to popular place only.

2. Yaba: here's another inflection pointing to a transitive form of Yarba. Again, this betrayed how unaware our experts are at relativity of terms in Yoruba lexicon and it's corrupt forms.

For instance, the word karamasiki is one word that seems well seated in our lexicon but may be a corruption of "charismatic". Chances are that neighbours have corrupt version of Yaba.

3.Yoruba and Yarba or Yoruba are all words of the same meaning cited at different places and time. Albeit the root can still be found in Yaba for Yoruba/Yarba and Yeobu for Yoba.

Ultimately, we have the integers. But it's left for us to understand how to deduce meaning from what we have. "Yeobu" is the beautiful figurine from Bini, representing the Queen Mother.

History is replete with the memoirs of great many divine feminine, from Isis to the black Madonna, Astoreth, Holy Mary to mention but few. The Yoruba had her fair share.

We have mounds, Tell waiting to be excavated in our lexicon, but we lack professionals who are cut for the unique needs of the Yoruba. Time will tell.

To have entertained such scholastic subject earlier shows ability. The same word has traveled through the circuit of scholars and back here where it all started.

However, how did it fare in the peer reviewed journals that hypnotists here held as "holy grail" of Yoruba history?? What does the renown Ifa priests made of it?

Just one word.

Yes, I remeber you had a thread on the subject. The issue was reawakened recently in FFKs mixup of politics and culture.

Personally I believe "r-b" is the root word and Yoruba derived from Irubo.

Im still probing to get to bottomline but so far im content with Irubo for now.

Lamanii22:
I swear... I'm gripped with fear... May God deliver us from evil people... Mehn it's disheartening.... See the stupid mum too... Eating your fellow human being.. Inu ma ni ika

.

Who can one trust?
Anything that says boyfriend...becareful!

May this girl's soul rest in peace!

Is this a script written for screen in Nollywood...or is this story real real?

Aaahhhhhhh...orisirisi!

They boast police would soon release them. They have done this before joor!

This should be classified as terrorism, in addition to other charges of criminalties involved.

I just cant piece words together to describe how i feel about this.

macof:
Obviously because you don't know a thing and rely solely on imaginative construction
Somehow I was expecting you to react this way as no way you would be willing to let go of your cherished "clue" of Aramean is Oranmiyan

Look at how trashing your so called clue got all of you so worked up... The raging furry and frustration

These are my main sources: the books "The Aramaeans: Their Ancient History, Culture, Religion" and "Studies in Aramaic Inscriptions and Onomastics"
By Edward Lipiński a world renowned Scholar on Semitic languages and general Levantine history
I also know through years of experience the transformation pattern of Greek words through Latin into English

This reaction is priceless . Like pouring salt on a couple of pesky little earthworms


PS. And yes, in case you don't know, historical linguistics is one of the Auxilary Sciences used to advance historical research. My use of etymology is very valid.

We find that Idums are always associated with Edoms. There is a neighbor of the Edoms called Nabatas.

Respectively these are Idumeans, Edomites and Nabateans.

You are not teaching anything new by injecting Greek/Latin name identifiers into your "methodology".

We already know Hausa have identifiers ending in -wa. Larabawa, Yarabawa, Hausawa, Nupawa. So to pull up a distracting "methodology" trying to teach why Adamawa carries the wa suffix is a show of indolence and sign of a compromised intelligence.


Perharps you have also read from me in either one of the Yoruba threads or a Bini/Edo thread that -

1. Idu is central to Ife and would have been used in ancient times as a geo-locator for the presence of an Orisha or its shrine.

2. When we go away from Ife Idu transforms and becomes Ado, Ido, Idi, Edo, Odo, and so on depending on the properties, gender and character of Idu that is imbibed.

3. There are many culturally indigeneous names in Yoruba that also repeat and mirrored in Holy scriptures and as well in the lands in which these scriptures took root.

4. Anywhere you read about Idumeans mention is also made of Edomites and their neighbors Nabateans....and from them came the people of Ad, who were the forebears of Arabs.

5. From above you should see even in history that there is an interlink between Idu, Edo and Ado.

6. Who were the Nabatas, or Nabateans?

Their origin is unknown but their name Nabata is an attribute of their association with water.

7. The Yoruba L when it occurs in AfroAsia it becoms N. This where Noa became Lua (as in Omoluabi). Lamurudu became Nimrod. Similarly, Labata became Nabata.

8. In Yoruba, Abata is swamp. Those that dwell in marshy grounds are Labata.

9. In my familiarity of historical accounts I have never read anywhere that history declared it could not find a people's origin....as it did with the Nabateans.

10. Is it remotely possible that Yorubas had two epochs of migration, one in which from Ife we went out and settled the fertile crescent, to be called Idumeans, Edomites, Nabateans; and a return after the founding of Ad, Arabs, Koreish, back to Ife where we are now known as Yoruba and people of Adamu Orisha?


Mr Macof, will you open your mind and be completely unbiased to the prospects of what we are bringing to you and study these information for their hints instead of trying to sell us a methodology that is limited in scope, and at best you have no grip on to benefit us or yourself...

The assembling of monarchs in an order of relevance was started by Abacha.

Alaafin spoke against it and rebelled against protocol. Thats why till today Alaafin does not attend the scheduled traditional rulers meeting at Aso Villa. He used to attend.

At a particular meeting called by Abacha to assemble all traditional rulers in Abuja, Alaafin first noticed that Sultan of Sokoto and some first class Emirs from North were given elite suites at the Hilton but traditional rulers from Yorubaland were not. He summoned the Hotel manager and asked that all the attending Yoruba monarchs have their room immediately upgraded and the tab sent to FG.

At the Villa, sitting arrangement also had same pattern. Names had been placed on chairs to denote who sits where. Sultan and Emirs were designated to sit in front row. His own seat and that of Ooni was second row. Alaafin said he has never seen anything like that. So he moved himself upfront and occupied one of the prominent seats in front and sat there till end of meeting.

Now its only Ooni and Sultan at head of the table.

Congrats to AA!

See Olofa dey demonstrate skills.

Omo iyeru okin Olofa mojo
Omo Olalomi
Omo abisujoko
Ijakadi loro Ofa

Kaabiyesi o!

Just thinking out loud here...

If Ministers must first talk to Abba Kyari who would now review when they can have access to the President General, in the other direction when President General needs to give instruction command does he give to Abba Kyari to transmit or does he summon the Minister?

EgunMogaji2:
Aah, so now you’re here to teach me about audit

Where does it state in the article that she’s had $16M in the account for years? How do you know that she was never proved?

Do you know the field of forensic accounting?

Oh also I worked at Cooperative Bank ( probably before you were born) for some years too

Dude, let me not offend elders.
Im sorry sir!

I will let it go.

Olu317:
Just imagine unlettered bigot,who knows nothing. Olodo, doesn't even know what Coptic Egyptians aren't even Kemet. I mock your mannerless psychopathic medulla oblanga.

In fact, I haven't seen any meaningful African scholarly quote to support your meaningless ideology that is watery in all your cry me river story.. Obviously, you are the looser here because comparison were done before your even And sorry you won't find anything meaningful online to give you answers to the transliteration and translations.

Can you imagine, somebody that claims he is a professional historian fa.....

His famed "methodology" demonstrated in his last response has shown him to be a quack!

TheGiftedOne:
I use to like one Beloxi biscuit like that, is this just a coincidence of name or what?

Meanwhile OBJ has shrunken in size as age is gradually telling on him.

The grim reality of life is that no matter how wealthy, powerful, talented and beautiful you are, one day ageing and death will take it's course on you.
Then I ask why all this rat race that has led to so much hatred, wickedness, violence, pride, tribalism and the likes?

I wonder myself. Baba used to be the biggest sized man in the room, now he is the smallest. Na wah o!

EgunMogaji2:
Uncountable people have balances over $10K, $100K in the USA, what's the point that you're trying to make?

Bank balance is subject to audit not investment accounts (stop moving the goalposts). We're not talking about your $50K, we're talking about a Woman with $16M in her account (you love moving goalposts).

I will never assume that you're a mumu and I'm not out t impress you. You stated obvious false information and I corrected you. You have an issue with that and I can't help you with that except to continue to correct you.

By the way, should we compare US bank balances, 401K, Roth, IRA and pension statements offline? Let me know when you're ready

Look at the bold. This is the bottom line.

She has had millions in the account for years. She would have been audited, as you said is the practice, long before now. But was never probed. Audit is different from probe. You are a banker you should know this. In case you don't, an audit is a reconciliation of account. A probe is an investigation of that account and the lifestyle of the account owner. Two different things.

Why is she being probed now, and not earlier?
