The Yorubas have Eurasia gene admixture that dates thousands of years ago. The quote is below:

HG = Hunter Gatherer
Eurasia = Europe/Asia
SSA = Sub Sahara Africa

"We found evidence for historically complex and regionally distinct admixture with multiple HG and Eurasian populations across SSA (Fig. 2 and Supplementary Note 5). Specifically, ancient Eurasian admixture was observed in central West African populations (Yoruba; ~7,500–10,500 years ago), old admixture among Ethiopian populations (~2,400–3,200 years ago) consistent with previous reports10, 12, and more recent complex admixture in some East African populations (~150–1,500 years ago) (Fig. 2, Extended Data Fig. 7 and Supplementary Note 5). Our finding of ancient Eurasian admixture corroborates findings of non-zero Neanderthal ancestry in Yoruba, which is likely to have been introduced through Eurasian admixture and back migration, possibly facilitated by greening of the Sahara desert during this period13, 14."

Not only the Eurasia admixture they also have Neanderthal genes just like they have in native Eurasian population. SO it seems we went out of Africa, mixed and came back to Africa which is similar to the whole Oduduwa-Lamurudu claims. It's really an intriguing find and just corroborates whats griots have been saying.

Thanks for the enlightenment

I been known that yorubas, and San khoisan and massai are the only blacks with the Neanderthal DNA

I read about this before

Maybe that's why I have a huge Jewish looking hooked nose

Best case scenario is Buhari replaced by another hausa fulani for the APC ticket

I stand with APC regardless

Used to be against Buhari and I still am partly

However it is in yorubas best interest to vote APC whoever they present

One party state for the West of Nigeria

APC

The east and Niger delta hate us

With PDP in the West we are penetrated

APC maintains our sovereignty

Hausa fulanis make better allies in my opinion

Greeks aren't even white. They are Mediterranean with olive skin they Co exist with Nubian's and Ethiopian Egyptian Assyrian / Persian blacks Arab , Nothing like Brit's or French Germany they had no history they were considered as animals their history and technology is not up to 600yrs it starts from the collapse of moorish dynasty in Europe and slave trade The Greeks considered black to be so beautiful black were seen as god's way back then..Europe were disgusted by the moorish rule over Europe for more than 800yrs most royals in Europe has black moor ancestry ,hatred and racism was propagated by the Brit's .. Whites will never allow blacks to grow they are scared of us they are aware of our potentials . Black problem is self hatred nothing more once we uplift our self awareness we will move forward ,we are blessed we have everything yet we see ourselves as demon.. I go to church seeing black man as devil Angel as White man and my ancestors are considered demons... we are filled with hatred ..we hate ourselves but like our blood eyed masters we have been programmed to do so...

Facts

Yes I am bro.And being pacist, is worth. Even if one is angered by people' attitude, irrespective of colour . We are compelled to be slow to anger but tactically prepared. This is the reaso we are called ‘Òmò tî Olù ìwà bì'. Ìwà l' Òbà àwùrè.

Force don't bring victory in battle but tactics. And in this modern time, the tactics that is needed technological know how breakthrough ,so that we will be given the needed respect from the Europeans.

Cheers

That is not acceptable sir

You want his respect but I do not have a need for it

I want retribution and justice

Obalufon, check your email

Olu317:
Not true about all Caucasians.The clay skin man Abiram/Abram whose ancestors stayed in Oru-Or were the beginning of it all about crossbreeding. And the evils perpetuated by Roman were after the moor lost the battle in the Peninsula of Spain. If the Brits acknowledged their ancestors are dark skin, then ,there is no reason to abhor hatred. Even among the lieutenants of Alexander the great, was a dark skin man that served his father and Alexander, before the man was killed. His name was Cleitus (Clitus) the Black (Greek: Κλεῖτος ὁ μέλας; c. 375 BC – 328 BC) who was an officer of the Macedonian army, which was led by Alexander the Great. The point here is that, àwô(r) foreskin type wasn't the basis for ancient powers but class and conquest.

Olu seems you are a pacifist and you want peaceful co-existence of all making.. I want that too

However, there are injustices which must be addressed first

And by force!

Olu317:
Trust me ,Yoruba is a Race and not just an ethnic group.

That's deep I like that and I partly agree because the African people are made up of varied races

The genetic diversity between africans is enough to racialize tribes

Obalufon email me when we can meet in lagos

HORRORIZON:
That's false, most of us are of South-Eastern Nigerian (mainly Igbo) and Central African (mainly some type of Angolan) ethnic ancestry.

Research says otherwise

I would believe research over an individual's opinion, thanks

Obalufon:
what part of yoruba are you from moor..

Ogbomoso (papa) and mum (ibadan)

Obalufon:
Not all yoruba came from Mecca or east ,we have the aborigines too the IFE people.Yoruba is marriage of two culture that is what makes us different from other part of coastal forest Africans most of whom were barely clothe before our contact with them ..our culture civilization mode of dressing is different ... i believe ife is the cradle of mankind the returnee from the east too are were once off shoot of ile-ife but found their way back to the source ..

That makes sense

Obalufon do u think Fulani are our kin ?

My mum has Fulani ancestry and Yoruba too but identifies as Yoruba but I personally like the Fula people and I see them as blood

Dierke Lange, the renowned Belgian anthropologist wrote a book “origin of yorubas and the lost tribes of Israel”

Sultan bello also told Hugh clapperton a British official that yorubas migrated from Palestine/Canaan

We were the most enslaved west Africans taken to America

Recent surveys of African Americans using a genetic testing service have found varied ancestries which show different tendencies by region and sex of ancestors. These studies found that on average, African Americans have 73.2-82.1% West African, 16.7%-24% European, and 0.8–1.2% Native Americangenetic ancestry, with large variation between individuals

Correspondingly, Montinaro et al. (2014) observed that around 50% of the overall ancestry of African Americans traces back to the Niger-Congo-speaking Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria and southern Benin, reflecting the centrality of this West African region in the Atlantic Slave Trade.

That enslavement was prophesied in Deuteronomy and our kin in america know it’s nearer the time for battle and liberation.

We are truly the chosen

Olu and obalufon Why do you think "ajala" is in the Arabic language ?

Why is it if you do a Google search "Ajala Sudan" "Ajala Egypt" "Ajala Saudi Arabia" you get natural artifcacts like mountains with that name, you get towns and villages with that name ..

Then Yoruba ancestors claim we came from mondiana, or Mecca

Are these claims too ridiculous given the connections I just highlighted and more from Yoruba vocabulary

There seems to be an Asiatic link for the yorubas

Did we colonize those lands or we emanated from there

Obalufon:
The people we have in north Africa now are Turks ,Syrian and light skinned Berber due to intermarriage with the so called Arabs .real north African were blacks before the influx of the light skinned Arabs in the 8 century and Turks ottoman empire expansion 12 century ..Once you mixed your blood with white devils you are going into destruction .. example Sudan .. the Arab breed are discriminating and killing the unmixed blacks Sudanese..Nubians now look Arab

Ghadaffi confirmed your assertions in his speech when he visited kano decades ago I cannot find the link to the article again

But yes the real arabs were dark skinned, the prophet of Islam said his kinsman would be maltreated and enslaved by the ummah

Ofodirinwa:
black americans have found nairaland

That is slick but contribute something constructive you cannot say that to my face trust me

Olu317:
It is a purely a Yoruba name and not extended Yorubic.Have you suddenly forgotten that ‘aja' is heavily rooted among ancient Yoruba ancestors.The yoruba names and words are mostly descriptive. Take for instance,Ajaka,Ajaokuta,Ajayi,Ajayè,Ajagbè,Ajamaiye,Ajagbade,
Ajagun,etc. Too numerous to mention.There are names that modern Yorubas are loosing to religious circle.

Thanks for this post

Olu317:
They were a different kind of black. The type without broad nose as found in Egyptians pyramid. And Islam came into to North Africa's Morocco later,when the conquered Egypt.This was how their history was erased because the Jihadists propagating Islam erase people's history with ‘holy war'.

olu, is "ajala" a yorubic name? cos I cannot find the word in Yoruba lexicon, however it has a meaning in arabic

it is also present in Sudan, Egypt and Mecca in some of their natural artifacts and it has a meaning in arabic

Obalufon:
Moolie Mauri.. moor means black with negroid features and thick lips I know is add to accept but is the truth There are pictures paintings.,coat of arms depicting black moor with crown and statues of moors all over Europe ..The moors were blacks under the banner of Islam ....To decode the identity of moors study. Sudan. Borno /beriberi Borgu/bariba .Berbers Yoruba . Moors were bunch of Islamist black Africans traders ,scholars with goal of spreading Islam . Even Mohammed used blacks Muslims to conquer mecca and spread Islam.. Real Arab were black before the coming of Turks that white wash the real Arabs

Those are actual facts and that is why your one of the few dudes in this country that I f.uck with

I generally stay away from ignorant africans, it is sickening

I have been studying since I was 16 and gained the knowledge of self ages ago

to come back to Africa since 2011 been trying to teach these adults and they don't seem to get it

they carry rosary beads and pray to a white man who died for their sins in palestine

Obalufon, is there any hope for continental africans or are we better of building bridges with afro Americans and Caribbean only??

I am in Lagos by the way bro, and I still owe u some snails, chips and a cold bottle of coke as I promised before

Peep the hierarchy in that picture

We must know this

there was a conscious effort from the caucasians to suppress the sovereignty of our ancestors

Henry Berry, member of the Virginia house of delegates in 1832 said this>

We have, as far as possible, closed every avenue by which light may enter the slaves’ mind. If we could extinguish the capacity to see the light, our work would be complete; they would then be on a level with the beast of the field and we should be safe.”

To all the africans here who trust the white man so much that they only accept his version of our history, ponder on those words from your white mentors

It was black moors that sat on the thrones of Al-Andalus

FACTS

I cannot name one arab king of muslim Spain

They were all moorish black sultans

I will post pics in a bit

Peace

RedboneSmith:
The very expression 'blackamoors' implies that not all Moors were black; otherwise 'blackamoor' would be tautological. Nobody says black Negroes for instance, because all Negroes are black; but people say black Africans because there are Africans of other colours.

'Blackamoor' suggests there are Moors of other colours.

I never asserted black exclusivity to the moorish nationality

However the light skinned arabs and berbers were secondary to that glorious throne

How many moorish conscripts where non black?

Answer that question and you will gain salvation

Salam

Of the four best-known dark-skinned characters in Shakespeare's plays (Caliban in The Tempest, the Prince of Morocco in The Merchant of Venice, Aaron in Titus Andronicus, and Othello), he referred to the latter two as blackamoors.

Even William Shakespeare knew black = moor

The white man has been trying for centuries to erase any likeness of black greatness and sovereignty from the minds of the people through the white washing of history and destruction of ancient artefacts

I pity blacks who follow the white man

They lack a knowledge of self

Hati13:
They were Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages, who initially were Berber and Arab peoples from North Africa. (Source: Wikipedia)

If you continue following everything your oppressor the white man tells u about yourself and your ancestors, you will be in perpetual darkness and servitude

Blackamoor (BLA-kah-muhr), meaning a dark-skinned person of African descent, is thought to come from the Middle English "blacke Moor"

Obalufon:
No no no .. what is the meaning of moor? Moor means black .. North African today are bunch of Turks and mulattoes

I strongly toe this line of reasoning as well

Moor means black

Hati13:
I thought you meant, sorry!

I'm sorry too for my tone, thanks

Sinistami:
Do You actually believe life actually started at Ile ife. because in Ijaw Folk lore too it was mentioned Otu-Ife along with Oduduwa although as Adumu and other Yoruba figures too. sorry if Iam asking a lot of Question because I came to this thread to learn more than to actually add.

Many cultures believed life started in their city states

Where do we start? Rome, Beijing, Mongolia, persia or ife

Etc

Olu317:
Even a foolish man or woman has knowledge bestowed on him or her. So, no matter how little it is, each being has something to offer. And Yes,it is your thread but please don't pull people down. Respect is reciprocal.

I made peace with that gentleman already and I have taken out the insults

Thanks olu

What's your take on my assertions

Sinistami:
What I think is Why is that it's always them migrating here and not us migrating there. I see it as Bullocks. why does everybody want to see it that way.

Lack of ancient structures dating beyond 10,000bc in Africa is one reason

Also the amount of untapped flora and fauna makes this part of the world newly inhabited to me

I have modified the post sinistami

I maybe was a bit insensitive to other peoples feelings

Ok let us restart
