If you’re trying to have an intellectual exchange and a meaningful engagement with him, then it’s a pity that you’ve chosen the wrong person. He lacks both the will and the ability to do just that.

But if your intention is to insult him and banter, then you will have your intentions fulfilled. That for him is a great platform to hide his actual cognitive disability.

I know you’re looking for the first, but sorry that’s a wild-goose-chase with the individual you’ve chosen.

Watch out for my words.

Cheers!

Igbo is the oldest of the YEAI Languages followed by Edo proven by WHOM?

Just pulling out things from your bare butt I see.... where exactly in Kogi was getting too dry? Laughable.
The spread of Yoruboid languages is far larger than those of Igboid languages. Common sense only suggest that they must have been moving around within West Africa for longer.

the imbecilic fellow said Kogi was getting too dry.. With two massive rivers flowing within it o. Soon the coast will also be dry grin

The same guy was on the proto-igbo thread where two sensible igbo educators were analysing the spread and characteristics of the igbo dialects yet he learnt nothing

Igala is just Yoruba language corrupted by Jukun and Idoma (Kwararafa) accent.

The corruption of the original proto-Yoruba tongue into modern Igala happened when their ancestors broke off from the main branch west of the Niger Benue confluence into the area east of it. That is why the bulk of Yoruboid language speakers are on the west, while Igala is the only appendage on the other side with unrelated neighbors..... Igala shares ZERO mutual intelligibility with all the languages surrounding it. Its closest linguistic neighbours and ancestors start from the Lokoja area all the way to Central Togo.

Even the Eastern Nigeria of Ibo groups extraction adopted a corrupted version of Yoruba language in hers, when in reality, the Yoruba language had been in existence in Africa before 2690 BC. This is the reason Yoruba language is being compared with Coptic Egyptians language that existed as closely-related dialects which descended from the Ancient Egyptian language and historically spoken by the Copts of Egypt.

Coptic was supplanted by Egyptian Arabic as the primary spoken language of Egypt following the Muslim conquest of Egypt, although it remains in use today as the liturgical language of the Coptic Church. Innovations in grammar, phonology, and the influx of Greek loanwords distinguish Coptic from earlier periods of the Egyptian language. It is written with the Coptic alphabet, a modified form of the Greek alphabet with several additional letters borrowed from the Demotic Egyptian script

Demotic is the ancient Egyptian script derived from northern forms of hieratic used in the Nile Delta, and the stage of the Egyptian language written in this script, following Late Egyptian and preceding Coptic.

The Egyptian Coptic language is an Afro-Asiatic language which was spoken in ancient Egypt. Its attestation stretches over an extraordinarily long time, from the Old Egyptian stage (mid-4th millennium BC, Old Kingdom of Egypt). Its earliest known complete written sentence has been dated to about 2690 BC, which makes it one of the oldest recorded languages known, along with Sumerian.

Many Edo brainwashed descendants have always wanted to redicule Yoruba ethnic groups without evidence when in fact, Bini language is a corrupted version of Yoruba language as same with Igala. The down southern part of Edo is Ijekiri/Ishekiri ,who influenced Bini with Yoruba's language and to the North Eastern flank of Bini is Yoruba land which influenced Edo with her language through contact with Yoruba enclaves and ifaodu religion, which is religion of Ela.
