From Ooni cat walking, to Oba of Benin dancing shakushaku. Seems the gods have introduced a new 'highing' substance to their representatives. |

gregyboy: I know you will come up with one bulldung. Àgbádó means Àgbá-dúró (Elderly ones stopped). Your own Agbado can mean something else. Or perhaps, the Yorubas named the market.since you folks won't stop answering Yoruba names. 1 Like 1 Share |

gregyboy: To tell you the truth, those that migrated from Benin to any part of Yoruba land were those, who followed Oromiyan or whose fathers followed oranmiyan from Ife to Benin on his journey to establish a ruling system in the land of vexation. Some departed before he, oranmiyan, returned to Ife, while some left him after he had established his kingdom. Hence the reason no traces of edo language cannot be found in those places these people migrated to. Because they came speaking the same language - albeit different dialect - with their hosts. For example, the Ewi ruling house of Ado-Ekiti claimed that his ancestor (not that of the Ado people) came from Benin. According to that history, they named every area they had a stop, like Agbado (A town closer to Ado-Ekiti), which translates to 'The place where the elders stopped' because they were too tired to continue the journey. Now, the question is, if these people were Benin, why would they name those places in Yoruba language? A language that is not theirs? Isn't a simple logical explanation to this is that, these people are simply Yorubas who left Benin before or after oranmiyan probably to found their own settlement, or just to leave the land of vexation for good. Get the delusion off your little mind that your tiny land conquered any place. Language is too powerful to be allowed to evaporate just like that. English language is shaped today by the language of the Saxons that migrated to England, as well as the Normans that once conquered England. Traces of some Yoruboid words can be found in Igbo today due to the contact the latter had with the Igala people. Despite the fact that there's no record that both the Yoruba and igbo had any contact with each other. Every nation that once left Rome, still have some shared Latin words till today. As far as the Caribbean nations are, there exist traces of Yoruba language and culture. How come the Benin people you claimed left Benin to those Yoruba parts, lost their language without any traces despite the close proximity to the source? Isn't that theory laughable? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Mekanus: I did one of a Benin man last week too. Got a 5 because his English was clear like a typical African trying to be careful not to make a mistake. Searched him on the internet in order to get correct spelling of his name, then I discovered he's been in the state for very long, yet he still speaks typical Nigerian english(in terms of speed). And one mumu girl go dey blow Amerinaija grammar because she study English for university. Despite sey she never even enter Benin Republic for her life. 2 Likes |

tobbymane: I'd advise you to start with 1hr or less calls. Even at that, if you know you're not sure of what you're transcribing, my brother release the call, or let it expire. Only submit a sure transcript. And ensure you had enough time to go over it like twice before hitting the submission button. And I'd advise you avoid fonding C and HCL calls. 1 Like |

Ohiosimuan: That might not be it. For you've done no wrong (assuming the statement is correctly written). I'd advice you pick calls of 1hr or less than. Release fading Circle or CLH calls or any UK calls (those ones dey talk like sey dm get hot yam for mouth). And open FAQ as you're transcribing, for guidance purpose. 3 Likes |
