₦airaland Forum

TerraCotta: Thanks, Peter. I've watched the first video with Prof. Babatunde Lawal (a brilliant scholar hose articles I've quoted on Nairaland in the past) and I totally endorse it. Those are the sorts of discussions about Yoruba cultural history that we should all be involved with. Keep doing what you're doing and don't give the fraudsters a day of rest

TerraCotta: Hi 9jacrip--I'm just dropping by to tell you that this discussion was started and maintained by fake IDs ( probably from a notorious ethnic group consumed by hate and jealousy for everything Yoruba ). The majority of participants in this thread aren't Yoruba and you've quite rightly spotted that this nonsense about Egyptian origins and biblical roots for Yoruba culture is meaningless. You're wasting your time trying to have a decent discussion with fraudsters, pretenders and people who are ashamed of their own ethnicity.

I hope you'll save yourself the trouble of participating in their hateful nonsense. Their only goal, as posters like Gbawe and Katsumoto point out in other discussions, is to try and ridicule Yoruba culture and history out of their inferiority complex about their own backgrounds. You can look through all the discussions here and see which posters have made useful contributions to cultural discussions and which ones spend their time here talking about inane nonsense. Some well-meaning posters will be drawn into this charade because they haven't taken the time to find out who they're talking to and dealing with. Don't encourage the fraudsters with no pride or interest in their own culture or history.

I'd expect them to come in and deny or deflect the obvious truth but you should keep this in mind when reading their nonsense in the future. Writing in English doesn't make you an Englishman, and proposing stupid, nonsensical etymologies for Yoruba words certainly doesn't make you a Yoruba person either.

ghostofsparta: Stop what? My comments doesn't say I accept it. I am just informing you about the dissemination of a false origin of the Yorubas taught in schools.

Okay...what is the Yoruba view of their cosmogony?

Tintinix: You wish....

Fazhy: Hope all this is coming to Lagos and suburbs.

iamdsam: Nice pics

EPOMA: My friend to get Lagos to what it is now is a hard Job, I believe not of the Govs could do it except for donald Duke. Put your eyes down and you can see what he has done. Nigerian are always quick to use the word "what has he done" , even during the military with all their force and power they could not do nothing. You have to give credit where it is due. Imagine leaving Lagos for GEJ to run, he will be more confused.

birdman: great find
