honifome:
Alaafin is superior to ooni in terms of hierachy. Whoever dispute this must be ignorant of history

Don't be confused, we are talking about the hierarchy of the throne and not necessary the person on it. That is Oduduwa's Throne, which is the number 1 hierarchy. The King of Kings (In Yorubaland)..

WE YORUBA'S ARE 95% ON THIS PAGE SHOUTING THAT HE SHOULD BE EXTRADITED BACK TO THE U.S.
WE DON'T CONDOLE CRIMINALS IN THE SOUTH WEST, WE DON'T SAY BECAUSE HE'S OUR OWN, LETS PROTECT HIM.
WE DON'T SHOUT TRIBALISM ON EITHER JONATHAN OR BUHARI FOR ARRESTING HIM.
LESSON IS, IN YORUBA-LAND, A CRIMINAL IS A CRIMINAL IN THE FACE OF THE YORUBA PEOPLE.

I have spent almost ten yrs in Yoruba land.... 6 at Akure and another 3 and still counting btween ogun and lagos.... Yorubas are the most tribalistic pple I have ever met. They may be nice to u but they will never accept u as their equal or better. The worst and funniest example of their tribalism happened to me when I was in the university... we were in class waiting for lecturer and me and a friend were conversing in urhobo when a girl in front of me ( who incidentally had been gisting in Yoruba with her friend) turns to us and says "why are u pple speaking delta here? Its very tribalistic of you" the argument that ensued is best imagined! Lol.

How did she know you were speaking a delta language.... lie busted!!!

NigerMan1:



For example, how would you feel next time you hear or read about a ranking Yoruba fellow claiming 'Itsekiri are Yorubas' ? Will you also gloat over such bareface lies and travesty of our history? Or you will stand on the path of truths and call your fellow tribemen to order?


Point of correction, if you watched the channels news today, the Yoruba Oba's had a meeting in Ibadan today and the Isekiri/Warri (thats how the leaders presented themselves) leaders were all there, guess what the had to say concerning the issues of the National Confab... They will follow and accept anything the Yoruba's their brothers accept and agree upon. end of story

Just like the work TOKUNBO [/b]cars that everyone uses in Nigeria, is from the Yoruba's --------- Ti Okun Bo Cars
Ti Okun Bo = Came from overseas

[b]You all stop confusing yourselves.
First of all. Oyinbo is a Yoruba word for white man.

Oyin = Honey from a Bee = Brownish color of honey (African skin)

Bo = Peeled = bleached Skin.

Just like when Yorubas say that girl (Bo Ara = Bo-Ra = bleached her skin )

If Oyin = Brownish color of honey
If Bo = Peeled.

Therefore;
Oyin-Bo = Oyinbo means a Brown Man/Woman who's skin was peeled.

Oyinbo a White Man.

the way yorubas can speak from both sides of the mouth seemlessly must be studied in our universities.

they are trying to con real lagosians into thinking that igbos are comming to chance them from lagos, meanwhile it is them who have come in from their ogbomosho and ilesha caves to colonise indegene yorubas.

is tinubu, fashola nd ambode from lagos state?

is oluremi tinubu from lagos state?

now they are trying to deny igbos their PVC. my friend have been going since monday this week for her own.

vote JIMI AGBAJE, a real indigene Lagosian.

You igbo's don't seem to understand 1 thing. When it comes to Yoruba culture, we are one , we are not divided by states or local government, that's why a Yoruba man/woman can govern any state in Yoruba territory (south west Nigeria).

The fact that Yoruba's are so civilized and accommodating to allow all tribes to come to our land, a save haven from all the atrocities happening in Nigeria, doesn't make us a fool.

Our history shows that we Yoruba's are tired of wars, we fought a 100 years war non stop and now we want peace and development.

If the Yoruba's were as stupid as other tribes, who keeps destroying their land,bombing everywhere in Yoruba land , kidnapping foreign investors, doing militancy, coming out on tv threatening to kill people and other tribes............. Please tell me, do you think Lagos would become what it is today. Do you think a foreign investor bringing in million/billions of dollars does not do their home work of visibility studies, of were is best to launch his/her business in Nigeria. Knowing fully well and rest assured that his/her investment is 100% safe... Your guess is as good as mine, the Yoruba territory.

Check out OPC, their primary job is vigilante, protecting lives and property, do you hear them threatening people? NO

We don't interfere with what is happening in other states or region, we a satisfied with our land. When Governor Peter Obi deported Yoruba's back to Lagos, did you hear us crying over it? NO! Because we yoruba's have a saying that goes " Ajo ko le da bi ile " A foreign land can never be like home.

That is why Yoruba's are blessed (Not with Money) with Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding.

Now because we allowed you into our land, and you feel so comfortable, you want to take over the land..... I'm shocked!!!

You igbo's are trying so hard to push Yoruba's to the wall, trying to make us go against our accommodating values, in order for us to turn to militancy and destroy our land.

We refuse to play ball ok![/b]

Seti I
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Menmaatre Seti I (or Sethos I as in Greek) was a pharaoh of the New Kingdom Nineteenth Dynasty of Egypt, the son of Ramesses I and Queen Sitre, and the father of Ramesses II. As with all dates in Ancient Egypt, the actual dates of his reign are unclear, and various historians claim different dates, with 1294 BC to 1279 BC[4] and 1290 BC to 1279 BC[5] being the most commonly used by scholars today.
The name 'Seti' means "of Set", which indicates that he was consecrated to the god Set (also termed "Sutekh" or "Seth"wink. As with most pharaohs, Seti had several names. Upon his ascension, he took the prenomen "mn-m3‘t-r‘ ", usually vocalized as Menmaatre, in Egyptian, which means "Established is the Justice of Re."[1] His better known nomen, or birth name, is transliterated as "sty mry-n-ptḥ" or Sety Merenptah, meaning "Man of Set, beloved of Ptah". Manetho incorrectly considered him to be the founder of the 19th dynasty, and gave him a reign length of 55 years, though no evidence has ever been found for so long a reign.


After the enormous social upheavals generated by Akhenaten's religious reform, Horemheb, Ramesses I and Seti I's main priority was to re-establish order in the kingdom and to reaffirm Egypt's sovereignty over Canaan and Syria, which had been compromised by the increasing external pressures from the Hittite state. Seti, with energy and determination, confronted the Hittites several times in battle. Without succeeding in destroying the Hittites as a potential danger to Egypt, he reconquered most of the disputed territories for Egypt and generally concluded his military campaigns with victories. The memory of Seti I's military successes was recorded in some large scenes placed on the front of the temple of Amun, situated in Karnak. A funerary temple for Seti was constructed in what is now known as Qurna (Mortuary Temple of Seti I), on the west bank of the Nile at Thebes while a magnificent temple made of white limestone at Abydos featuring exquisite relief scenes was started by Seti, and later completed by his son. His capital was at Memphis. He was considered a great king by his peers, but his fame has been overshadowed since ancient times by that of his son, Ramesses II.


Seti's military campaigns
Seti I fought a series of wars in western Asia, Libya and Nubia in the first decade of his reign. The main source for Seti’s military activities are his battle scenes on the north exterior wall of the Karnak Hypostyle Hall, along with several royal stelas with inscriptions mentioning battles in Canaan and Nubia.
In his first regnal year, he led his armies along the “Horus Military road,” the coastal road that led from the Egyptian city of Tjaru (Zarw/Sile) in the northeast corner of the Egyptian Nile Delta along the northern coast of the Sinai peninsula ending in the town of “Canaan” in the modern Gaza strip. The Ways of Horus consisted of a series of military forts, each with a well, that are depicted in detail in the king’s war scenes on the north wall of the Karnak Hypostyle Hall. While crossing the Sinai, the king’s army fought local Bedouins called the Shasu. In Canaan, he received the tribute of some of the city states he visited. Others, including Beth-Shan and Yenoam, had to be captured but were easily defeated. The attack on Yenoam is illustrated in his war scenes, while other battles, such as the defeat of Beth-Shan, were not shown because the king himself did not participate, sending a division of his army instead. The year one campaign continued into Lebanon where the king received the submission of its chiefs who were compelled to cut down valuable cedar wood themselves as tribute.
At some unknown point in his reign, Seti I defeated Libyan tribesmen who had invaded Egypt's western border. Although defeated, the Libyans would pose an ever increasing threat to Egypt during the reigns of Merenptah and Ramesses III. The Egyptian army also put down a minor “rebellion” in Nubia in the 8th year of Seti I. Seti himself did not participate in it although his crown prince, the future Ramesses II, may have.

*Esua/ Eshua:

That is the name for the first composer of Eyo song, called Aro Eyo, that is, the Lamentations of Eyo. The singers of Aro Eyo normally end their chant with the name "Eshua!" in praise of Eyo. The true Eyo is identical with Olori Olugbani of Lagos tradition. Eyo Ile Ola.

Eyo je kin boba gb'ade dele

2prexios:


baba,

Aku aseku odun o.

I want to suggest that if you can add syllabic approach to your linguistic worktool, you may be surprise at the vault of secrets that you will uncover, based on your quintessential linguistic genius. Why I say this is because we are at the same corridor, you me and peterkbaba, and the secret is not too far to find. Peterkbaba finds it easy to deviate, so he is not playing by any rule, he is not targeting the bull eye.

Meta, you are doing just that, but please incorporate "syllabic-syntax" in the process as you used to do in the past. For instance Yoruba is apparent in that approach: Yo-ru-ba, no more, no less. If you reduce it to consonants, it is not going to give us any sound, and don't forget that even alphabets are syllables in pronunciation, they are not pronounced as one word, most times.

It is this syllables that will form the meaning of the word, and afterwards, we need to verify if what we have really exist in another pristine form, so we look for another word with similar meaning and compare the contrast. One stands as archetype and the other, feedback. I'm dedicating this piece to you my metaphysical, the undying spirit. I respect you a lot my pal. So I give it up to you now.

Yoruba, as far as I'm concern mean Yo (bright) Ru (night) Ba (Ruler).
Put more aptly, Yoruba means the light that rule the night.

Well, my definition.
Christmas gift, friends.



From your analysis, what about:

Yo = Bright= Sun
Ru = Oru= Night
Ba = ba = Ruler

Sun that rule's the night.
Remember the Arab sign is the Moon and the European sign is the Star, while the black man sign is the Sun.

Therefore, the Yoruba's are either the Sun that once ruled the night (Arabs - Moon & Europeans - Stars) in the past. Meaning our forefathers gave us the name which tells a reminder story of our past before we arrived Nigeria or the Yoruba's (Sun) are destined to Rule the night (Arabs - Moon & Europeans - Stars) in the nearest FUTURE!!!

What about the translation of ile ife word Arugba!

Arugba is the Female Virgin that Carries the Secret Sacrifice in the Covenant Calabash to the River of the Goddess Osun,

A = The
Ru= Carry (On the Head)
iGba= Covenant Calabash

The Carrier Of The (Secret Sacrifice) Covenant Calabash.

So, Yoruba:

Yo Ru Ba

Yo Ru Igba

Gb= B

Yo= You Shall (Authoritative Word From God)
Ru= Carry
Igba = (Secret Sacrifice) Covenant Calabash


Yo Ru Igba = Yo Ru Ba = You shall carry the secret sacrifice of the covenant calabash.


Bible Scriptures: Zephaniah 3:10: From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
