konoplyanka:
but today they are ibos. And ibos never had king's but almost every street in iboland now have an eze.

scholes0:


Spelling is not the crux of the matter but pronunciation.

Nothing like Kpomo spelling in Igbo form, because the word isn’t even Igbo to begin with.

scholes0:


Probably.
Yorubas have never laid any claims to owning ugu at any time anyways.

BabaIbo:



sharap it was as a result of igbos presence... take it or leave it... there are traditional medicines you borrow from other tribes and as time goes on, you convert it to your own, that's the case of bitter leave... what yoruba call ewuro is that bitter thing inside hen... lol, don't call it English adage, it's yoruba adage please...

FYI Igbos are the one known to use it for soup n medicine, yorubas borrowed the medicinal part...


Ojooo o!!! you don't know anything, your head is empty, do research please

baby124:

Are you saying efo, which is spinach is also borrowed from Igbo? You are insane. The only vegetable used widely that is from Igbos is Ugwu.

maclatunji:


LOL, sorry but you seem to have forgotten that Igboland is landlocked. For Igbo slaves to have made it to the coast meant they were under the controllers of the shorelines. You would have to either go through Calabar or other parts of the Nigerdelta coast under the control of the Benin Empire.

No need to get upset, it is an historical fact, the Europeans preferred to stay on the coast and Conduct their business. There was no Igbo Empire to come visit in the Hinterland.

Even Badagry got relevance for the same reason. It was the preferred port for the Oyo Empire's slave trade.

If you want to argue bring your Igbo empire. Igbo settlements at time would hardly reach a village of 500 people claiming Independence. They would battle other villages if conflicts arouse but the return in terms of selling slaves would be insignificant. The only major Empire that could organize the numbers of slaves the Europeans needed in that region effectively is the Benin Kingdom which is also closely allied to the Oyo Empire as they both claim the same source.

IjeleNwa:
with your comment,I can't argue with you

scholes0:


Omg, am I dreaming? lol.

Yorubas and Igbos who better pass for traditional medicine? lol .. don’t make me laugh.
Even today you all have abandoned all your village dibias and are too busy gulping agbo like there is no tomorrow.
How can Igbos introduce Ewuro into Yorubaland? I thought you were saying before that there is nothing like Ewuro?

What is your I.Q pls? Did I say that it was an English proverb?

What is the Igbo word for Jedi-jedi?

BabaIbo:



idio.t but you said Akara and kpomo which is fried beans pud and animal hide or skin respectively are borrowed from yoruba.

you are just too stupi.d, efo is a yoruba word for leave, it's like calling premier or Eva oshe!

scholes0:


You want to also claim Kpomo like your brother?
Even that other word “tinko” that one of your bros mentioned is not Igbo either.

maclatunji:


Do you know that according to Chinua Achebe, appointing a king was a form of taboo in Igbo land? Most Igbo settlements were villages nor heavily populated, poorly equipped militarily. They could not withstand the superior military might of the Binis and their allies.

All those guys had to do was organize raiding parties overpower the Igbo resistance and that was it.

BabaIbo:


mumu tinko is an Igbo word which was derived from the sound it makes when you're eaten it... it's gotten from donkey hide or skin, go to north you and ask who are the major buyer or consumer...

BabaIbo:



is jedi-jedi a yoruba word or a hausa word?

yeas you said there is an English adage...

so you have all decided to claim all the traditional mixtures you learnt from hausas as yorubas own

Billyonaire:


The Tundes and the Emekas will start criticising each other, even though the Jamaicans swear that it was Igbos, the Nigerians will never accept, because Emeka and Tunde MUST not agree.

This is why I prefer Musa, he sits down, shuts his mouth and enjoys the spoils of the war between Emeka and Tunde.

Because Tunde must not let Emeka take glory for anything, because he is not to be trusted with any achievement even if it is his sweat.

You guys will never learn.

Dios mio , efo isn’t just any leaf, but edible vegetables.
Igalas call it Alefo. Or ‘Obo Alefo’ (Vegetable soup)
Don’t be forming like you underatand actual Yoruba simply because you were exposed to 2 months of broken Yoruba in Isolo.
The Yoruba word for leaf is Ewé.

somegirl1:


You intentionally digress. What does access to sea, kidnapping and slave trading have to do with domination?
Your claim that Igbos were dominated by Binis is what I addressed.
That you have to kidnap individuals rather than simply command their groups to produce a number of them for sale demonstrates a lack of dominance over them.

baby124:

Lmao. I am obviously arguing with a jobless person. Akara, ponmo, egusi are all Yoruba words. In fact there is different Egusi cooking methods by Yoruba group, but one thing in common is the way they make the base. Spinach is popularly called just Efo. But it’s really Efo amunututu. I am done arguing with you. Soon you will say Shaki is an Igbo word.

BabaIbo:


Cabra, I have toured yorubaland more than you do...

idiota, you're contradicting yourself... don't change your stance, you said efo is spinach and I said efo is a general name for leave(must I tell you I mean edible ones)
I took first in school in yoruba language I was given a cane to flog people like you who think they know it more than others because it's their language

Lordave:
I don't think you were referring to me but I me chip in, anyway.
What influence do Edo people had or have on Igbos?If Edo had an influence on Igbos it was on people of Onicha and the influence was contained there in Onicha or maybe a bit further into Anambra and not Igbos in General as you and your mischievous fellows are trying to paint it.

Your last paragraph, though. Where there ever a German, Italian, Greek or Roman invasion of England? How do you explain the so many borrowed words in English language?

Your ignorant self won't let you know that there is no superior language. You think inferior languages borrow from superior ones.

somegirl1:


Never had kings? How do you know this? I think the word you are looking for is Didn't which points to certain Igbo groups not having ultimate rulers at the time they were discovered by the Brits.

Oligarchy which Igbos practiced is a more advanced form of government than monarchy - circa 800 BC vs 2000 BC, and was therefore a natural step up from kingship
Kingship was restored/ introduced by Europeans not Binis. Unless you have information pointing to Bini style kingship east of the Niger.


That Aniomas et al are Igbo is a very convenient assertion when it suits certain agendas.
Anyhow, if "today they are Igbo" as you stated, it reinforces my earlier point that Igbos influenced Bini's east-bound exiled subject to the point that their origin is debatable. What a feat.

BabaIbo:


just when you run out of lies and can no longer backup your lies, you switch to insult... you are a big fo.ol, I know you guys very well... you can su.ck a dickkk for all I care

jide in Yoruba is stand up or to rise up
jide in Igbo is hold on to or simply hold (yonhold something)...
Jidenna- hold on to father (God
Oluwajide- Lord stand up or rise up...

You're the one lacking intellectually for failing to see a clear example

scholes0:


And you claim to understand Nigerian languages. Lol ashe you be o2
How can jedijedi be Hausa?

If it exists in hausa that it came from Yoruba.

If i tell you to stop rewiring my brain with this your Tunde and Emeka now, you will starting talking humaniod and ETs again..

But seriously.. aside the comedy i enjoy in your Matrix posts... your Tunde and Emeka is an intelligent piece... let me simply get female names and start mine.. All these undue hatred and jealousy must end this 2018.

bibe:


The Nri kingdom which influenced most of Igbo culture and civilisation was the oldest kingdom in present day Nigeria by historical sources and at it's zennith expanded up to margins of then and yet to metamorphosize bini empire.

With the birth and Rise of the bini empire it also extended it's influence further west crossing Agbor and up to present day Asaba (this why you have a lot more igbo cultural influence than that of bini in this areas) before it's fall.

Thus the Nri kingdom being the older had consolidated is influence way before and longer before the bini empire did.

mumu tinko is an Igbo word which was derived from the sound it makes when you're eaten it... it's gotten from donkey hide or skin, go to north you and ask who are the major buyer or consumer

after this let's close this case please, I can see you have never been to hausaland before, they eat more sugars than yorubas, they have stronger medicines for jedi-jedi... I understand, you want to claim jedi-jedi just the same way you tried to claim ireke (sugarcane) which is reike or alubosa which is alibasa abi...

ask yourself one question do you consume more sugar than them or do you suffer the ailment than them...

again, do you cultivate sugarcane and alibasa (onions) more than them, they are the ones supplying you all those things so why do you think the name originated from buyers angle instead of the supplier (producers) angle
