Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by absoluteSuccess: 4:46am On Sep 19, 2021 |
There are many ways the ancient scholars had used the word agba to represent sphere, of course nature has the shape in abundance. One way we see Yoruba usage of it is in the proverb, "ajantuka n'tagbaarin". Like most of Yoruba proverbs, this is scientific observation. The proverb is a simple but fundamental law of physics and it says, "the middle ball will roll away in commotion". What manner of proverb is this? It simply implies that if you place a spherical object above two unbraced spherical objects, "the middle ball will roll away in commotion". The genus of Yoruba proverbs is such that you are made to figure out the accessories only if you understand the contents of the proverb. Otherwise, you can make do with the indirect meaning. But as students of Yoruba semantics, we press to know more from sunrise to sunrise. Ile Akoko latii gbedo. 1 Like |

TAO11:For every information, begins with a leeway.Unfortunately, you perceived not so I show you a clue on your flawed information, you hold so much. The point you still goofed again and again !!! Plainly, I only point to the direction you have erred on some of your best authored books, which you reference such as Professor Banji Akintoye, who also relied on Ryder etc claiming Niger Benue confluence as the origin of Yoruba people. Apart from this, you also have erred on diacritics , over and over again even the "igba" you accented still has a flaw. Seek it out. My question rhetoric symbolise the purpse of igbá (calabash) to Yórúbà people in cosmology and not igbà,whichyoupostedwronglyas ìgbà ( aimless word with no acurate meaning ) which was a coined word from 19th century. Asíkò-àsekò,akókò,saa,wàkátì,idáyi-idáhi,diwọ̀n, igbà ,which is a newer term that you so believed is rare or not used in older Yoruba dialects Perhaps, your linear understanding which tilt towards Oyo will naturally wane. Most often Baba comes to your linear mind Bàbá. Rather Bábá- which simply shows in its root, ẹni á "Bá" lá á bá ni Bábá.(Ifaodu corpus) Seriously, I chose not dent your information because,too many errors you posted as a result of stagnancy ofin formation you can access.I wish you really really. Anyway, enjoy yourself. |

nisai:I won't go further again. However, too many errors in his/her information .Good lord! I hardly make comment on it, since I know he/she knows not beyond his/her limit. Rather than waste y time, I move on. If for some reason, I am referred as Ibri,or bree which was a name corrupted as Yoruba's ancestor name as far as I am concerned. Furthermore,the name remains as the name identified in Buba Ahmed 1615 account, which justify my view am justified. Afterall , the word is not Yoruba but eerb(Yrb-Yarb)which is also the reverse of bry or Ibri. Do I need teach people who find it hard for Yoruba to Neanderthals among over 50 ethnic groups in West Africa? Oh , some people claims, it is over 200 ethnic groups in West Africa. While minute 3 other realated sub Yoruba groups are mentioned and Ibos left out. Seriously, as usual, I expect someone will quote me because Hebrew is threat to their own ancestry but not mine. Here is the Yarb or Yrb interpretation of the root word according to islamic or ARABIC'S alphabets. Arabic's Yaa and ancient Hebrew's Yod are interpreted as ee in English's. The Hebrew also interchange it with Y at times. Since certain rules are followed. Arabic's Raa(R) which is Hebrew's resh that is rii(ree) Arabic's Baa(B) which is Hebrew's Bet that is bee sound in English. Thus,Yoruba as a name is a wrongly interpreted name of the people in Western -North central partof Nigeria that spread as far as Gambia region. Seriously, fact lighten up where false thrive and the latter disappears into the thin air. Sheath the sword, is what I did long time ago because I am a son of my ancestors who protect my people ,even when there some or linear flaws that I had done and still doing. Do have a great day.

Olu317:^^ Try to accept Oyo Yoruba, it's in it we are conversing even if you think it arrived in the 20th century as a koine language. The Yoruba we speak on paper derived from Ile Igbon, not Oyo Ile. Igba o lo bi orere, ojo o lo bi opa ibon, igba nbajo, lonilu gbelu lo, omo arijo se bi Oba. We also speaks of nigba iwase. These are examples of ancient usage of nigba. Laye olugbon, laye Aresa, laye owarangunaga: these refers to era as epochs, due to poor calendar culture amongst the Yoruba. Time is eternal continuum to them. Neandathals I know it's a fancy one to you, you felt I don't know anything about this, but as far back as 2000, I've been reading about this on TIME and on a section of Punch newspaper called science around this same time. I used to be an insertionist in the organization as a young man. We read the paper for free, we go to insert first print and inner, this is distributed all over the country. Neandathals, from what I gathered from the science are human "cousins" edged out in the competition for survival with the more advanced "human stocks". They went on extinction because they can't invent their tools, hence they can't compete favourably with the human species to whom they are related. The present standpoint of science is that modern man emanated from common stock, Homo sapiens. You must understand the politics of evolution to choose your belief. Any scientific research pitching the Yoruba to neandathals is quite interesting. Our forehead don't look like the one known with neandathals anyway. Let me check my library for a source. Happy weekend. Like Oyo like you love Ife, information is distributed all over the place in Yoruba land about Yoruba history. 1 Like 1 Share |

Olu317: You can see how clean up this response is, please try and maintain it now! Ah, sometimes you rush it being too carefree. It's part of being a research fellow dear brother. I know it's impossible for all of us to have similar finesse writing our findings, but you have to try, except you don't have the intention of publishing in the future. If not, no probs, but if yes, then do the needful at all times. Nigeria is not America where you have agents who helps polish your script up to the state of the art ooo. No time at all. Aesthetic is pretty part of writing, you must be the first audience of your write up, it's should be a piece of art to you. You are an artist painting with words. Tidy up on your Yoruba as well, it's public decorum, it must extend from you to the world.

Olu317: Here are excepts from two academic sources that makes Professor Banji Akintoye timeline for the hunter gatherer fathers of the southern Nigerian people jjc in human evolutionary trend, Just make sure you bring change back from the remaining balance of 100,000 after spending 4000. Enjoy. First pic credit: Oxford Bible Atlas, published by Oxford University Press. Second and third pics credit: Illustrated Dictionary of Archeology, published by Book Club Associates of London. Please pay attention to the first and the last pictures @ Olu, you will find something useful to the the neandathals and cro-magnom man there, just in case. Then you will see very clear that the two sources here established the origin of man differently and one is the earliest version, based on archeological findings. The next is the latest version, based on science speculation. You can guess what I mean by politics of evolution. The African man don suffer. Choose rightly o. There's however a great reward for you if only you can read and digest the information on the attachments and come back with sound inference of your own. Happy weekend great sire. 1 Like

Dude you're a pure joke This one shock me Every single sentence is just poop What concerns Prof. Banji Akintoye or Niger-Congo Confluence with the issue of diacritics here? And when did Prof. Banji Akintoye rely on Ryder for Yoruba origin? And what is all this about it being wrong to reference Prof. Banji Akintoye? So now he is not a reliable source but you Olu317 the clown joker who can't even write the word "Yorùbá" is reliable?? And no, it is not "igbá" it is "ìgbà".. Ìgbàlódé Learn to take correction and move on. There's nothing about igbá (Calabash) in the word "ìgbàlódé" It is : Àsìkò, àkókò, wákàtí.. Again each time you write in Yorùbá you are wrong. Keep quiet and stop lying to people. This is not about Oyo dialect. There's no dialect where it is "igbálodé" or whatever thrash you wrote.

Olu, Will you stop making Ryder the source of our history? Nay, that enchanted discipline is too lofty for mortals like us. Rather, "professor" is the "source" of our history. It's past and present rolled together.

Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by macof(m): 12:27pm On Sep 19, 2021 |
Olu317: Lmao This is your previous post. Olu317:Here stating you were not referring to "ìgbà".. Which you even say is wrong and instead is "igbà" [according to your dictionary] So there is no need to show me a dictionary showing "igbà" because you already said that's not what you were referring to. But rather you were always referring to calabash (igbá) In the screenshot below is your original post.. And clearly you don't use "igbà" but "igbá (which means Calabash) So there's absolutely no reason for me to engage you on whether it is " ìgbà" or "igbà"... Bottomline is - it is not "igbá"(Calabash)

Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by Olu317(m): 12:37pm On Sep 19, 2021 |
absoluteSuccess:You are baaaad man! I have read it through. Unfortunately Baba Akinbanji can not see his book the way some people over emphasis on the book because, present information speaks differently. Infact, I do not know reason, Yoruba authors fail to visit Ileife and make enquiry on the history of Yorubas from within Ileife, which all of us belonged to one clan or the other. Anyway, Professor Toye Akinbanji as today, will never over emphasise his position of 2010. Infact if he has the grace, he would broaden the place of the origin of Yorubas beyond Nigeria because of Neanderthal origin. Contrary to these great men of our time, Ifaodu says in Odù Osa Ofun, "Ifá ṣé awo dé apá kan Òkun(atlantic) ati iláméjì Ọ̀sa (lagoon).".............. ẹ mi alagẹmọ ki nlọ apá òkun iláji ọ̀sa Ki oni òkun oni ọ̀sa kò lé mu mi si ọhun Ara ilé ẹ má jó mọ́ Ara ileọ́é ẹ má yọ́ mọ́ Oni òkun oni ọ̀sa kò lé mualagẹmọ lonii ó mo ṣé tan mó lọ.... This Ifaodu corpus counter Niger Benue postulation of Yorubas origin. Even on linguistic comparison,South East Yoruba dialects are older than others which also counter the written books which did not cover the entirety of Yoruba history as thoroughly as it ought be. Probaibility isthat Professor Akintoye does not admire Ifaodu or he does not see IT as a storage facility of Yorubas, but unfortunate because Ifaodu stores both Christianity and Islam in HIM. As today, Yoruba ethnic group does not have the oldest gene in Africa. Infact , more than six ethnic groups have older bones than Yorubas. . While these people of ours are crying blue murder, fact kept coming to null their theories. |

Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by Olu317(m): 1:15pm On Sep 19, 2021 |
absoluteSuccess:Quite a load in here. Yes, I am aware of Neanderthal history but slightly differs from the view you shared. Reason being that virtually historical perspective, human evolution took place in around the era some ancient Yorubas were alive. And there was an account that emphasise of an apeman who was birthed by Ape and a female human, according to fairytales talked about by the Yorubas which science delved into and claim evolution of man. Meanwhile, the ancient Yorubas still acknowledged human beings who were giants or aptly taller humanoid. This also has been speculated and research work has also invented the dna for these people. So, if I make reference to Neanderthal, is because, it remains a case study which supports Yoruba's act of immigrating from somewhere to many places before arrival in present day Nigeria. This is my view. While on the Oyos, I do not have anything against her strength because through her Yorubas became renowned name in West Africa . But linguistically,she is highly younger and has been the most spoken by all. |
Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by Olu317(m): 1:32pm On Sep 19, 2021 |
TAO11:Tell me, where did Professor Banji Akintoye got his information on Yoruba's ethnic group's origin from the sea forefront ? Was it Bowen before Ryder or Bowen before Ryder? You make me laugh. Contrary to your view, I have never being mad at any one not even you on an issue which I know has no basis for superiority complex! Or are you competing with me ? If you actually want to compete with me, then ,you must be a joke. Plainly, Ryder's claim was from Ifaodu corpus account which were narrated to Bowen . So,go learn deep Yoruba history from Ifáodù to know what Ori worship has in relationship with christianity. Ryder quoted T. J. Bowen's "Adventures and Missionary Labours in Several Countries in the Interior of Africa (Charleston, 1857), pp.265" "Forty years earlier the missionary Bowen was told of an Ife standing upon 'the sea'." Does the standing on sea mean Niger -Benue confluence ? Niger- Confluence is landlocked and has no access to sea. Perhaps, you failed to realise, ship cannot berth overthere. Grow up and learn farther than you know. |

Olu317: Olu, you are a great person with sound mind and keen judgement. No matter how beautiful the appeal, stick strong to what can be verified in the physical and record time. What you have in your hands are great piece of information, even the man macof bad to copied what you first posted on this forum and improved upon it to make what he called knockout. Right, if you don't know the value of what you have, you will lose it. We are dealing with manipulative folks here, but never try hard to impress anyone, stick to the finest of your findings. Don't validate evolution with vague idea inspired by any Yoruba myth, and don't glorify Yoruba beyond the ordinary purview of the subject at hand. Be professional.
That's no history, and it's not what evolution talked about, take it out of your topics for consideration as you develop the materials for your future thesis and publications. Cite the exact examples of connections you intended in cross discipline culture/science relativity of your discovery, and let the readers make the decisions themselves, if they like let them agree, if not no wahala. They have a brain for a reason. And always remember, the folks you are fighting here are making decisions for the readers in all available channels of manipulation, don't join them, or you are not different from them.
Don't hold brief for any funky science conclusions, let them researchers sell their story to the hogwash buyers, be a discoverer yourself, don't be a promoter for the next super story dear brother.
There were no younger Yoruba honestly, those confusionist are just giving us history based on what their head can carry and what our intelligence can assimilate. Please where is a special place in the world? Possibly everywhere or nowhere. Never give preferential treatment to any place, it will make you bias. Oyo could have happened anywhere else in Yoruba land. It's not young, it attained political ascendancy that overshadowed that of her neighbors who has equal claims to the selfsame tradition (or whatever their tradition could have been) to the close of the 18th century. Please, let us walk together in the same spirit and be above the educated manipulators. Computer has decentralized knowledge, let's use it to the fullest advantage. The paradigm shift is that, science fiction has become religion. People who stands for the truth against science fiction are getting the Galileo treatment for their Inquisitions. Please let's work harder. God bless us all. |
