Since Igbos Migrated From IFE, It Means Many Are Genetically Yorubas. by Quintessence44(op): 7:14pm On May 27, 2024
According to the Ooni of Ife, the Igbos settled in Ile-Ife first (following their migration from the north of Africa/middle east).

They were in Ife for many centuries before migrating to the East.

During their time in Ife, there would have been heavy intermarriage between them and Yoruba people over many centuries.

Therefore MILLIONS of people today in the East who think they are Igbos are actually Yorubas, and they need to go conduct a DNA genealogy test to know their true lineage and origins.

It’s a fair bet that those DNA results will be so shocking to so many of them if they actually did the test.

Some of them might actually be able to reconnect with their long lost relatives in Ife and surrounding regions in Yorubaland.

Happy Monday, all.

When a country descends into horrifying economic crisis , job loss and. Unemployment become the norm.

It now gives rise to a new breed of intellectually deficit unemployed jobless buffoons who have no iota of sense and sit down creating stupid threads just to start any nonsense conversation to fill their empty poverty stricken jobless lives .

Just look at the OP.

Igbos have no semblance whatsoever to the Yorubas and everyone should learn to maintain their lane. We don't have to pretend to be related in order to work together as one.

Op, learn to respect your host, otherwise Igbos will institute Indefenous Tax on the current visitors in Ife.

No wonder many igbos bear yoriba names.

Statistics shows 42% igbos bear yoruba names.

I have learnt something today.

Oga instead of all this big grammar, go and do a DNA geneology test.

That is how you know your TRUE lineage.

It's not about abusing people! undecided

You might even discover you're related to Otedola or Adenuga or even OBJ.

You go just cash out. undecided

Dey there dey form Igbo kwenu.

You are absolutely correct.Just like we have no iota of semblance with Jews still we can have good relationship with the nation of Israel without claiming to be them.

If they did pass through Ife and stayed there for centuries, what makes you think all of them migrated to the East? Some would definitely stayed back.

Look at this Seyi Tinubu’s head, is this head not that of Igbos?

You also forget that many Yorubas would have ACCOMPANIED the Igbos in their migration to the East, such as wives, husbands, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends etc.

Wilfred Ndidi definitely looks Yoruba.

He even reminds me of one of my friends called Dapo.

He needs to go and do a DNA geneology test to see where he is really from.

Wow!

If it was that recent then there are DEFINITELY millions of Igbos walking around today who are actually Yoruba, and millions of Yorubas walking around without knowing they are actually Igbos!

The govt needs to encourage and even subsidise DNA ancestry testing.

It could destroy tribalism in this country, as many discover their ancestral roots in parts of the country they had previously hated.

Because there was migration across the entire region known today as Nigeria in pre-colonial times.

It wasn't just between Igbo and Yoruba.

Re: Since Igbos Migrated From IFE, It Means Many Are Genetically Yorubas. by Putinofrussia: 9:39pm On May 27, 2024
It is just for history sake.
We all..China,Britain,Israel,Egypt,Yoruba,Igbo etc all came from Adam and Eve.
Read from one Igbo historian that Yoruba and Igbo were actually the same brothers.
You can see that there has always been a kind of rivalry between them.
The fact is one(Yoruba) has always mostly had the upper hand which the other one(Igbo) did not like.
They had to depart and Igbo decided to move having it in mind that he will do better than his brother.
Till date,they are still at it.
They are both achievers but the Yorubas still continue to be ahead which always irks their brothers (Igbos)
I think it is their destiny.Even if they break away from Nigeria,the rivalry will continue because Igbos will still endeavor to catch up with Yoruba,their brothers.
Still yet,they are both achievers.

Shut up! It means many Yoruba have Igbo Blood and it means the Igbos were the first to settle in Nigeria.

Yorubas and Igbos belongs to the Niger Congo family of language so yeah they have same root

i have always seen Yorubas as distant brothers


just that Agbado people dey do wetin dey vex me cool
Re: Since Igbos Migrated From IFE, It Means Many Are Genetically Yorubas. by Easternmind(m): 10:21pm On May 27, 2024
Which means if they inter married for centuries many igbos have Yorubas blood and many Yorubas have igbo blood.

And I think both Yorubas and igbos came together and created bini kingdom...that's why they both have connections there..

My observation...

Absolute nonsense. Yorubas are not related to Ibos in anyway.

Even the few similarities in language is because Igala (a Yoruba cousin) enslaved the Ibos for hundreds of years.
