Lol you're just not getting the whole sarcasm attached.
He's suing another person/organisation for intellectual property that doesn't originally belong to him.

He is not suing them because it was a stolen property, but suing them because they ban it from being aired. That is the difference.

And for your information, adaption is a core part of literature. He adapted/cover the work of CG, just as Ola Rotimi adapted the work of Sophocles (the Gods are not to blame/Oedipus Rex)

Youngstar76:
Mr. Know it all,
Covers/remixes aren't meant to be used for monetary gains. Credit must be given to original owner(s) if monetary benefits are attached to d cover/remix.

Falz even proceeded to shoot an official video to the song without a single credit or reference to Childish Gambino.

You know what? Go and sue him if Gambino fails to do so....... Smh

Sunofgod:
Childish Gambino should sue falz for ripping of the track

It is called 'a cover'. Go to YouTube and see many artists from different countries that did different covers of the same song.

thanks buddy,

i think i once did a thread here many years ago under 2prexios handle as to Moses being Olokun, which is an angle that favours Yoruba support for the icon that is so called. I don't think a people will support their enemy anyway, albeit the Yoruba supported Olokun.

Musa or Moshe? I think the one with the closest meaning to someone drawn from the Nile is Ifa-Olokun, "drawn out of [the tributary] to the sea", then Yoruba seems to see the word Egypt from the same perspective as Stephen in the act of the apostles 5 as "dealing subtly"-"Jibiti" which rhymes with the sound and idea of the hebrew for Egypt.

On whose side is the Yoruba language in that perspective? Nonetheless, Reno may know what we don't yet know about this though.

More wisdom and knowledge to you bro!

oboy! this is good, even in warri I didnt know all dis, well i dont know how true this but there's definitely many strong points, so with this I guess its really likely that itsekiris are probably from yoruba after all, u do well

but, im nt sayin ure wrong, look at it dis way, the fact that the yorubas came from egypt but we cant say the yorubas are egyptians, they came from there but are seperate culture now, same thing, as close as they may ve been once, the current itsekiri culture is far diff from yoruba(even d ilaje of ondo), so i feel if we are going to see itsekiri n yoruba d same then its jus lyk seeing bini/esan/etsako as the same

You see, one thing I have come to conclude about this migrations in the southern part of Nigeria is that, the immigrants mostly meet other people at their settlements today. The later might heavily influence the former, or vice versa. Take for instance Ifon in Ondo state (beside owo) was said to have migrated from the Ifon in Osun state. The migration was said to have been caused by the dispute between two prince's, one of them left the kingship thrown to the other, taking the crown with him, and followed by his sympathisers. But today, their dialect is so different. While the Ifon in Osun retain its original tongue, the one in Ondo state speaks a dialect very similar to that of Owo.

To me, I believe that the prince that left with his people must have met with the original settlers of the town, and may have, due to his powerful status or some other tricky method, been made king. This is not far from the truth, as it is evident even in other ancient cultures such as the Greek. I do not know if you have heard or read 'Oedipus the King' by Sophocles (Adapted by Ola-Rotimi as 'The Gods are not to blame') , such a scenario played out in the drama. The King and his people been few, must have accepted the culture and language of the people he met, with a little influence of his on culture.

Another instance is that of Ikere and Ado-Ekiti. You might have heard that the lineage of the ruling families In these towns came from Bini. I could remember been told the history of Ado by an elderly woman, it happened that the former ruler of the town was informed by the oracle that a powerful person will pay him a visit, and was warned to be cautious, the advice he failed to heed, which consequently led to his murder by the visitor who later assumed the throne, and his lineage still ruling till today. Similar thing happened in Ikere, some people are yet to come to terms with this issue, particularly the family of the original ruler of the town. Hence in Ikere today, you have two kings (the Ogoga and the Olukere) claiming to be the recognised one in the town. I guess the culture of the people must have been so strong that that of the immigrants were unable to influence penetrate.

In my Opinion, similar cases are witnessed in most migration story of these towns. Another notable case is that of Lagos-bin, Bini-Ife. So, the itshekiri-bini story might be similar.

Consider the fact that the Itshekiri, Ilaje, and Ijebus speak almost the same. Closer to them are Okitipupa, Ikale, Ondo, Owo, Akure, Ekiti, Ijesha etc. If someone from Ekiti or Ilaje speaks, someone from Oyo fill Jae some difficulty understanding him/her. So you can not classify the Yoruba language under a singular umbrella, because it is a language with lots of variety. Even, an Itshekiri speaker and an Ijebu or Ilaje speaker will understand each other, than Ijebu person talking to someone from Oyo.

Thank you Opiletool for your time, and I commend your curiosity even more.


On the Yoruba-Egypt link, the standard submission of modern historians and anthropologists is what I summarized above. They all agree on a North-East Africa [precisely ancient Egypt and ancient Nubia (a colony of ancient Egypt)] origin for the people of Southern Nigeria (the Itshekiris and the "Yorubas" to be precise).

*They examined the oral traditions of these people (which admits they are from that North-East region of Africa) and corroborated them with archeological evidences, written documentation from other parts of the world (e.g. Egypt itself).

For example, I myself once had a similar discussion with a friend from Ethiopia (North-East Africa) in which I told him about Oduduwa. Guess what! He was shocked at hearing the name, and he himself shocked me when he informed me that the word "Oduduwa" (same spelling, same pronunciation) is a word in his own language (Oromo language), meaning "One who speaks" probably on behalf of others.

We talked further, and I mentioned "Oromiyan". Again, there was similar reaction from both of us, because he told me that "Oromiyan" (which they spell using English letters as: Oromiya or Oromia) is the name of the district or region of Ethiopia he hailed from. He further told me that Oromo people are not restricted to Ethiopia, he said they are found in other parts of East and North-East Africa.


*They examined the culture and religion of these people (the ancient "Yoruba" people and the ancient Egyptians) and found striking resemblance (which further bolsters other available evidence such as the fact that the ancient Egyptians and Nubians were Negros, etc.). For instance, many pre-dynastic Egyptian deities are still been worshipped in parts of "Yoruba" land up till today. they also are present among the Itsekiris till today.

(A) Some of the deities include: "Adumu" (known among and the Itsekiris and "Yorubas" as "Adumu" or "Adamu" ); "Hepi" (known among and the Itsekiris and "Yorubas" as "Ipi" ); "Ausar" (known among and the Itsekiris and "Yorubas" as "Ausa" ); "Horise" (known among and the Itsekiris and "Yorubas" as "Oritse" or "Orisa" ), and "S'mi" (known among and the Itsekiris and "Yorubas" as "Smi" or "Simi" ); "Nam" (known among and the Itsekiris and "Yorubas" as "Inama" ); etc.

[The Itsekiris had great religious influence on its immediate neighbors (including the Binis) by initiating them into many of these gods and belief systems. From the "Umale-Okun" worship by the Edo, to the "Agban" ancestral worship by the Urhobos recently in 1949, as well as the "Ipi" system by the Urhobos even more recently in 2005.].


(B) Bronze/Brass casting (using a method known today as the "lost wax process" is another unique and distinctive aspect of the culture (art) of the Yorubas (the Ifes precisely) that is strikingly similar to that of the ancient Egyptians.

[Although some may contend that the Binis also casted metal, it is important to remind them that the Binis' oral tradition admits that casting was taught to them by Ile-Ife. The Binis tradition mentioned that Igue-Igha (or Igueghae) was sent from Uhe (Ife) (at the beseech of Oba Oguola to his spiritual overlord, the Ooni) to civilize them into the art and science of metal casting. The purpose was to enable the Binis start producing themselves, instead of being entirely dependent on importation from Ife. Igue-Igha is still venerated in Bini up till today at his shrine at the house of Chief Ine].


[Also, others may contend that the excavations of artifacts in SouthEast Nigeria shows that metal casting was not unique and distinctive to the "Yorubas". It is important to remind such people that the Igbos, according to their own admittance, are not autochthonous to their present area, their migration (most likely from outside Africa) came later after their present area have been visited by earlier migrants (the "Yoruba" and Itsekiri migrants from Egypt).
In fact some evidences which proves this to be the case include: (1) The presence of places called "Ife" in the South East Nigeria (which appears to corroborate Ile-Ife's tradition that there have been many Ife's before Ile-Ife such as Ife-Oodaye, Ife-Oyeelagbo, Otu-Ife, among others); (2) The claim found in some Igbo people's traditions that Oduduwa left to Ile-Ife from Nri; (3) The fact that some of the Igb-Ukwu artifacts (glass and carnelian beads specifically) have been found to be strikingly identical to those of Old Cairo (Egypt); (4) and lastly, the dating of the Ugbo-Ukwu artifacts shows a earlier date as compared to those excavated at Ile-Ife. All these shows that the Bronze and other artifacts from the South East were remnants of a civilization (The "Yorubas' " ) that had earlier visited the area centuries before the Igbo's arrival. The Iwo Eleru burial artifact (South West Nigeria) with a radiocarbon date of about 12,000 B.C. also further bolsters the evidence of the "Yorubas' " earlier presence in Southern Nigeria].


(C) Dance is another aspect of the unique and distinctive cultural similarity between the "Yoruba" and the Egyptian cultures. Those who have watched the Zar ritual dance conducted by special women among Fellahin in Egypt saw the replica of Yoruba dance during religious activities. A place called "Owodaiye" in today's Ethiopia (of which Egypt was at some point in history a colony) also further strengthens the link.


[Many experts have argued that the different batches of migration from Egypt to the Atlantic coast which started as early as the Hyksos' invasion of Egypt (2,000 B.C. to 1,500 B.C.) signifies different home-coming migration of a group of people who knew that their ancestors had migrated northwards from this "Nigeria" area. The evidence adduced by these scholars being that archaeological finds shows that the "Nigeria" region have been continuously occupied from around 40,000 B.C. to 65,000 B.C. by the Nok culture who have been argued to be of course the original inhabitants of southern Nigeria some of which first migrated northwards and then later southwards in the different waves of migration of the "Yorubas"].

(D) Some scholars have considered the direction of burial of the ancient Egyptians as evidence of Nigeria as the original home. When the ancient Egyptian died their corpses are buried with their faces facing South West (the direction of West Africa --- home of the "Yorubas" ).

(E) It was only recently I found out from a friend doing their PhD in Biostatistics in a U.S. University that the sickle cell disorder is generally known in medical discourse to be a trait peculiar to West Africans. However, a recent analysis of the genes of a minority Negro people in Egypt shows the presence of the trait.

(F) Another evidence of link is the landmark figure known as Shango, the Alaafin (arguably Olu-Afin) of Oyo whose mom is Tapa. Shango actually not only ruled a West African empire, he also ruled in the North of Africa.
(I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I first saw this information been confirmed in sources outside Africa. What led to my perplexity when I first saw this was the very later date that has usually been speculated for most of these figures: Shango, Oromiyan, Oduduwa, etc. for instance the staff of Oromiyan is shown by radiocarbon dating to be centuries earlier than the date generally speculated to mark the start of the Oduduwa dynasty. The corrections and revisions are just being made only recently).

Shango according to this source was well known beyond Africa. Stories were told about Oba Koso (an ethnonym of Shango). Pedral quoted Morie's work in the Coptic text - "Obba Kousso" as he was known, noting that he "was King Shango and a king of Kush who ruled north and west of Africa but was born in Ife". Morie had no idea where Ife was.


(G) Another evidence is a Yoruba Osun serpentine staff crowned by a bird, and carried by initiates of Obàtálá which bears striking resemblance to Caduceus, the traditional symbol of the Greek god Hermes. But the Greek pantheon and theology itself was influenced by no other than the Egyptian's.


(H) I will close out by adducing linguistic evidence. There are very many word-word correlation between Egyptian and Yoruba languages which not only sound similarly but also having similar/identical meanings. The similarity/identicality are too striking and too numerous to be simply explained away by coincidence.


The following are few examples:

"Ere" an ancient Egyptian word for "Python/Serpent" is the same as "Ere" an ancient Yoruba word for "Python/Serpent".

"Horise" an ancient Egyptian word for "a great god" is the same as "Orise" an ancient Yoruba word for "a great god".

"Sen" an ancient Egyptian word for "a group of worshippers" is the same as "Sen" an ancient Yoruba word (especially Ijebu word) for "to worship".

"Ta" an ancient Egyptian word for "sell" is the same as "Ta" an ancient Yoruba word for "sell".

"Sueg" an ancient Egyptian word for "a fool" is the same as "Suegbe" an ancient Yoruba word for "a fool".

"Enru" an ancient Egyptian word for "fear" is the same as "Eru" an ancient Yoruba word for "fear"

"Kun" an ancient Egyptian word for "a brave man" is the same as "Ekun" a Yoruba title for "a brave man".

"Osiris" an ancient Egyptian word "water god" is the same as "Oshiri" a Yoruba word for a "water god".

"Oni" an Egyptian title of "Osiris" is the same as "Ooni" the Yoruba royal title of "Ile-Ife kings".

"Omi" an ancient Egyptian word for "water" is the same as "Omi" ancient Yoruba word for "water".

"Dudu" refers in ancient Egypt to the "Black" image of Osiris and is the same as "Dudu" the Yoruba word for "Black".

"Ash" an ancient Egyptian for "invocation" is the same as "Ashe" an ancient Yoruba word for "invocation"

"Budo" an ancient Egyptian word for "dwelling place" is the same as "Ibudo" an ancient Yoruba word for "dwelling place"

"Kot" an ancient Egyptian word for "build" is the same as "Ko" an Yoruba word for "build"

"Horuw" a middle Egyptian word for "head" is the same as "Oruwo" an ancient Yoruba word (especially Ijebu word) for "head".

"Kurubu" an ancient Egyptian word for "round" is the same as "Kurubu" an ancient Yoruba word for "round".

"Khu" an ancient Egyptian word for "to kill" is the same as "Ku" an ancient Yoruba word for "die".

"Ak" an ancient Egyptian word for "male" is the same as "Ako" an ancient Yoruba word for "male".

"Ro" an ancient Egyptian word for "talk" is the same as "Ro" an ancient Yoruba word for "talk".

"Edjo" an ancient Egyptian word for "cobra" is the same as "Ejo" an ancient Yoruba word for "snake".

"Anubis" an ancient Egyptian word for "an evil deity" is the same as "Onubi" an ancient Yoruba word for "a evil person".

"Kan" an ancient Egyptian word for "one" is the same as "Okan" a Yoruba word for "one".

"Shekiri" an ancient Egyptian word for "a water god" is the same as "Shekiri" a Yoruba for word for "a water god".

[It appears the name "Itsekiri" comes from this Egyptian god "Shekiri" especially considering the migration acknowledged by the Itsekiris' oral tradition which I made reference to in my earlier reply]



There are even more evidence, but the foregoing ones are sufficient (I believe) to establish firmly that there is an Egypt-Itsekiri-"Yoruba" link; or more specifically that the "Yorubas" and Itsekiris migrated from ancient Egypt; or even more specifically that the migrations southwards from ancient Egypt relates to different home-comings by a group of people whose original abode was the "Nigeria" region.


Thank you for your time ...

Wow. I like the way you established your claim from every aspect. Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge.

TAO11:
Hello fero007,

I must tell you that I really admire your resolve to trust what you believe to be true. What I will in fact appreciate even more than that is your willingness to open-mindedly admit a fact (or at least a more likely position) even though it will contradict what you've held all along.

I must also salute scholes0 's effort for consistently putting forward his vastness and his view on this subject.

Now to address the issues, you made two important remarks in response to one of my comments on this issue, namely that:

1) "we sud not rely on google for info cuz google can to be misleading on these type of issues"


2) "same language (does not) automatically means the same tribe or ethnic group or pepo".


Regarding the first, I could swear your real intention was to say that we should not simply take information from the internet UNCRITICALLY. I believe you didn't mean that we shouldn't access the internet (through a search engine like 'google') for information. The internet is just an electronic database (just as our physical libraries) containing information of all sorts.

That information I shared on Itsekiri language being "a major branch of the Yoruboid group of languages" is a standard view among linguists. It is not some heretic or unpopular or debunked position at all. That was why I comfortably asked you (without any worry) to search for it yourself.


Regarding the second, I must tell you that historians and anthropologists consider "linguistic evidence" to be highly indispensable in tracing (the origins of a group or the link between two groups) of people. The one and only type of evidence which supersedes linguistics evidence in this regard is "archeological evidence". A third evidence down the hierarchy is "cultural/religious analysis".

While I agree with you that one type of evidence should not be taken blindly without regards to another, I at the same time have the responsibility to emphasize to you how indispensable linguistic analysis is in respect of this subject.


You indicated above that you're willing to have further conversation on the subject if there is any further contrary view to yours. Below is my careful analysis in relation to your request:


* I will start by examining some oral tradition of these people of the south, because oral tradition is the vast repository or corpus of every pre-literate people. But I will admit, fair and square, that I am aware that oral traditions could be skewed, exaggerated, and sometimes fabricated, hence the reason I will be subjecting whatever oral traditions I'm adducing from these people, to scientific scrutiny by augmenting them with widely attested written sources.

The oral traditions I will be adducing from the Itsekiri and the "Yoruba" sides is one that says the same thing (or about the same thing), hence very unlikely to have been a fabricated tradition by one of them to favor itself.


An oral tradition of very early migration(s) of a group of people from some region of North-East Africa down the south (precisely to the south of today's Nigeria) is found in many "Yoruba" traditions as well as in Itsekiri's traditions.

Chief Atigbiofor Atsuliaghan who is a high-priest of Umale-Okun (an Itsekiri deity), who also claimed to be a direct descendant of Òrúnmìlà stated that the Yorubas migrated from Egypt and settled in various parts of what is now called Nigeria, and that two important places among the places they settled are Ode-Itsekiri and Ile-Ife.

Similarly, Chief O.N Rewane noted that according to oral tradition, the Yorubas came from the south of Egypt but not directly to Ile-Ife. he added that they settled at Illushi, some at Asaba area, Ebu, Olukumi, Ukwunzu, and some settled at Ode-Itsekiri.

(_Refer to O.N. Rewane Royalty Magazine: A Pictorial Souvenir of the Burial and Coronation of Olu of Warri, Warri 1987_).


From, the Yoruba side, the Awujale of Ijebu land has maintained that the Ijebus are descended from ancient Nubia (a colony of ancient Egypt). he adduced the evidence of identical language, body-scarification, kingship ritual, kingship system, and religious discourse to substantiate his claim.
This claim by the Awajale can also be authenticated all over the most ancient "Yoruba" kingdoms.

(Refer to the _1984 Awujale's Coronation Manual_ where he also mentioned that the Itsekiris speak the most ancient Ijebu dialect).

This is highly commendable. Well done.

I am still very much interested in that Egypt part of Yoruba story. I have read several pieces on it, plus the recent submitions from Reno Omokiri which have some interesting twists to the story. I seriously hope for a factual closure someday.

fero007:
thank God u know i said ethnic groups with CLOSE simliarities, ive lived in warri so i know dat apart from language (which is not even that close) they is no other cultural similarity btw itsekiri n yoruba. itsekiri are believe to come from bini lead by ginuwa, their customs are edo related, in terms of other aspects of culture, (food, dressing, dance, way of life) they re FAR FAR CLOSER to ijaw n urhobo sef than to yorubas

If the itshekiris came from bini, why is their language similar to that of yoruba?

@AbsoluteSuccess
I saw Reno Omokri's piece and read through it. Then I remembered you mentioning on this thread, a verse of Ifa about a burning bush that is not consumed.
Could Reno be right?

This is the thread

https://www.nairaland.com/4826503/yoruba-origins-name-moses-not

I think one mistake Reno made was that he didn't make more findings about which dialects of Yoruba language are considered the earliest form before writing the piece.
Because, Ekiti people actually say "se" as "pick". For instance, "I picked from the ground" would be "Mo Se Nile". Not by any means saying Reno is right nor wrong. Just want your opinion on this.

I disagree with Op, BTW has always mean BETWEEN right from the onset, even abbreviation on phones is like that, i was actually surprised when people started calling it By The Way recently.

You guys still don't get it do you? OK let me explain.

Recently, when people are typing, they mostly shorten 'by the way' using the acronym BTW. Then, some people do confuse this as 'between. Hence, it's not uncommon to see someone type or say a sentence using 'between' where 'by the way' is supposed to be applied. For instance, I read a post on nairaland today where a guy addressed a female Monika as 'he'. In a bid to correct the op, the female replied by typing ~in addition to her comment~ "between, I am female".

Now can you spot the grammatical blunder? I think 'between' as no business in that statement.

I have come across so many people that keep making this mistake(except it is no longer a mistake) I stand to be corrected. We all learn everyday.

I was about creating a thread for this purpose before spotting this one.

It is quite shameful that people still make this mistake even in 2018.

Most of those that castigate fayose do not live in Ekiti, that I have come to realise.

If u visited Ekiti under Fayemi, go and do that now. Especially Ado Ekiti. All the good road networks are the work of Fayose. Fayemi could not construct Ado to Ikere road. The road was an eye sore,until fayose got there, dualised it right into Ikere town. Do not forget that it is this same fayose that dualised all he major roads in Ado, demolished buildings and constructed modern markets during his first and second terms in the office. I am not absolving him of any other crimes, because I indirectly suffered from some of his crooked ways, but even at that, the beautification of Ado and some Ekiti towns is own to Fayose.

I might not really like fayose, but he is the best governor Ekiti ever had in terms of infrastructure development. Segun Oni follows.

In Rev. 19:7-9 the Bible says, "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife has made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he said unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God."

This verse is metaphorical and symbolic. Has nothing to do with earthly marriage.

It is easy to connect with Brymo on these verses. He fuses deep Afro sounds with intensive connection to his roots. Brymo playing around 6 different Yoruba proverbs properly employed in the lyrics and succinctly pronounced anyway is the best justice to Yoruba lingual extraction in recent times followed only by 9ice in ‘Promise and Fail’. The only thing non-Yoruba in the song is the percussive sound of the trumpet.
