scholes0: All of them. I grew up using those words , before I ever stepped my foot on Yoruba land. Am sure the Same goes to any Ibo man dead or alive, so when you say" borrowed"... maybe I need to wake up my ancestors from grave to confirm, that's if Dem body never rust finish |

scholes0: guy you no get sense at all... you believed there is a word like iresi from rice abi.. there are words like osikapa, shinkapa... but you're claiming kpomo which does not have any literal or written relationship with the way yoruba words are written as your own... wait your forefathers they rear cow? igbos are even closer to the source of the cow than your folks... Ebonyi, Enugu are closer to the source than any yoruba state* don't come and list kwara and kogi because they are north central... you don't rear cow or have any sign of rearing cow on your past but you are claiming a word that you can't justify using your yoruba syllable rules |

Chukazu: Be specific! Which words that’s what I meant. You can’t say “ohh this word can’t have been borrowed or infused into my language sometime in history simply because I grew up using them” that isn’t an argument. I grew up calling rice- Iresi, yet it is a borrowed terminology from english. What is the Igbo word for Boli/bole , i.e roasted plantain? Didn’t you grow up simply calling it bole? 5 Likes |

scholes0: This is getting out of hand. Igbo language has arguably the most diverse dialects..and I am more in tune with my dialect than the general Ibo. Boli is Yoruba,has nothing to do with my language. Rice is " Osikakpa" in Ibo 4 Likes |

Chukazu: Did you call roasted plantain Boli while growing up or not? It was simply an example. You didn’t list any specific examples and weren't making any sense either. Just made a general statement. Which of the words do you want to point at. I never asked YOU about what rice is. Neither did I enquire from you if Igbo has many dialects or not. 5 Likes |

Obas that most yorubas king use is a Benin word, Adesua and some other name is also of Benin root... I think this is a clear example of what we have been dragging since... |

So what happened to those light skinned Igbos he said he saw?...they became extinct? No offence....I just happen to be a critical thinker! |
