Oh well then, I still await your rebuttal to the fact that the first Ogiso of Bini was Ogiso Oba godo.

DikeOha882:
Urhobo and Igbo share names like Okparah and Eke,Omeruah etc. May I know what these names mean in Urhobo?

First, Oh well, it is a glad thing that you accept you are tribalist. You should probably work on your mindset then.

Secondly, you are a mother of many children I suppose, and you still do not know how to comport yourself as a mature adult mother with responsibility.

Finally, I do not understand the whole talk about my being a mod. I posted something many Binis believe themselves and you and your cohorts accused me of being an ignorant moderator for saying something many Binis/Edos believe themselves. Then I provided proof and you are still talking about moderating instead of providing rebuttal to the fact that the first Ogiso of Bini was Ogiso Oba godo. I am waiting patiently for your rebuttal.

Okpara is a name of town in Agbon clan of Urhobo. Accordin to our history, our ancestor "Agbon" migrated wit his household frm a village calld Udo in Bini land. Agbon nd his family sojourned nd travelld thru Ika land ("Agbor" which surprisly is a corruptn of d name "Agbon" nd Ukwani land. It was durin dese periods of livin in midst of Igboid pipo dat his first son was born, nd was there4 named "Okpara", meanin "first son". Howeva, d Urhobo word for first son is "Owanra" (possibly derived frm d Okpara). If it is Omeru, it means "pretence" in Urhobo. Other words Urhobo shared wit Igbo includ "enu"=up, odibo=servant, oyoma=good, unu=mouth, ovwodo=town (Igbo call it obodo), etc. OP shuld hav said words Urhobo-Isoko share wit Igbo nd Yoruba, because u can't categoricaly claim dat just because Urhobo is minority there4 Urhobo is d one dat borrowd frm them.

Hi peeps.. I haven't create any new thread recently due to some reasons best known To me, Although I still Remain your loyal boy "Goodboiyy" . Below are some Igbo and Yoruba word used in Urhobo language.

1. Biko : Biko is an Igbo word for "Please" And it means same in Urhobo, in Urhobo you usually hear word like "Oghene' biko keme' Igho" Meaning "God please Give me money".

2. Olori : Olori is a Yoruba Word for Head .. in Urhobo it means the same thing..

3. Orgor' : Orgor' is an Igbo word for 'Inlaw'. It means the same thing in Urhobo.. for example I might say "Oniovo Orgor we' nkor " meaning 'brother how is Your Inlaw ".

4. Omo' : Omo'r is a Yoruba word for Child, It has same meaning in Urhobo.. I can make statement like " e' Freemanan Omo'r meh' … meaning "Freemanan is my Son"

5. Obara' : Obara is an Igbo word for blood.. It means Same In Urhobo.. Why The Igbo woman will shout "Obara Jesus" and Urhobo Woman will say "Oba'rah' Re' Jesu"

6. Jesu' : Jesu' is an Yoruba word for Jesus . its still the same in Urhobo

7. Ew'a : Ew'a is another Yoruba word for Beans and its thesame with Urhobo. Ew'a is pronounced in Urhobo exactly thesame with That of Yoruba

8. OBA : OBA is a Yoruba word for king , We still use it in Urhobo.. If we Want to Call God.. we say Oba' risi' meaning " King Of The Word"

He seems very well knowledgeable in his own history so it is only common sense that he is invited to speak on a matter that he knows too well.

In the same way I can scoff at you at being an authority over the royal house of Ife when your village is not the least closest to Ife.

UGU is the Edo word for VULTURE. EAGLE is called OGHOHON.

Interestingly Ugun is Vulture in yoruba

9jacrip:
What dialect is that from?

I know of Igun or Igunugun.

macof:
knowledgeable? An Esan man calls Oranmiyan and Eweka a myth when no Bini man will ever say such and this loser is calling such a person knowledgeable ...

You heard wrong. What you heard is Kuku mah - which means in addition or plus or moreover.

You you become a bini man, let me know. Worry about the igbo subgroups disclaiming their igbo heritage.

OP, I'm not so happy wit dis ur post. Why do u hav to treat Urhobo dis way nd surprisly, u ar even an Urhobo? How did u know dat it was Urhobo language dat borrowd those words frm Igbo nd Yoruba languages, nd not d other way round? Is it because Urhobo is a minority language nd d other two ar majority languages? So u mean because Urhobo is a minor language there4 Igbo nd Yoruba languages can't loan/borrow words from it? Dat is a lie. Languages dat ar neighbors can borrow words frm one anoda irrespectiv of size. While I'm not disputin d fact dat Urhobo language share these words in common d them, it is also possible dat those words u listd were borrowd frm Urhobo language by Igbo nd Yoruba languages. Moreova, d name "Jesu" u mentiond did not in anyway originatd frm Yoruba. Rather, "Jesu" is d Portuguese name for Jesus. And if u culd rememba, d Portuguese were d first Europeans we interactd wit via trades, nd many of dia words were adoptd by our ancestors, e.g. oro (gold), sabato (sandals), Escravos, Forcados, etc.
