Olu317:
Well,you seem forgetful .

rhekor had once claimed father in Yoruba is not abà which all English dictionary claims it is an Hebrew-Aramaic word for father which is shared with Yorubas. This is the reason I drew his attention to ondo's Ekimogun's obà's granted interview, where he spoke about the kingdom's history and he mentioned the word "abà"

Reality is that both ancient Hebrew speakers and Aramaic's are not known . World's Scholar aptly called the language "Isolate language". Fact #Fact# Fact#.

I can not remember ever claiming that Àbá is not father, in fact that is from some dialect in Yorùbá land, if everyone should be using dialects to write Yorùbá words nobody would be able to understand what those not from their clan or subtribe writes. This is the reason for a standardised mode of writing. Your major problem is that you don't know the difference between language and dialect (èdè àdúgbò), If you do you wouldn't be writing nonsense all over nairaland
Ẹ̀bá = father in some eastern Yorùbá dialect
But in general Ẹ̀bá means by the side or beside
You can see that you are making no sense of you keep writing in dialect only your own tribesmen will understand your jargons

Baba/bàbá in Yorùbá means fahther anything outside these is/are from dialects which not all Yorùbá speakers would understand except those who either speak such dialect or have idea of what those who speaks it are saying


Olu, once again go and learn about how to write the Yorùbá language correctly

macof:
Lmao wetin concern Ondo and the word for father with the matter on ground?
Be calming down and stop running about

Did I not tell you that he will swerve and change topic? That Olu317 guy is just daft

Olu317:
Are you still living in the 19th century AD ?

If yes, then I have no reason to inform as got from scientific sources based on not only dna but segment of it known as genome.

But if you are ready, then science, has shown that part of Africa, has fossil human older than Ethiopia which was once claimed before to be the oldest. Morocco is still the place where the oldest fossil human was found in Africa and the hottest region in Africa.

Now,Yoruba gene show large % of interaction with fossil found in Morroco and with part of Levant and not modern day Arabs .

Help enrich your mind without feeling bitter. Let me ask you a question, where does the Ake people comes from in Ileife ? Inform me and let me learn from you.

Which Ake? Lmao what has that got to do with your Moroccan swerve? Olu who do you like this? Why do you like to mingle things up in your bid to escape scrutiny? Truth needs no jumping from tree to tree. You have difficulty in understanding simple things yet you want to lay claim on complex things

Olu317:
It is

ọ̀rọ = word
rẹ= your,thy
dàbí= seems "like"/ looks "like"
ẹni -individual/someone/who
ti= to have
kò =not
fẹ́-be willing to obey
jẹ́wọ́= to confess
ọ̀bun=dirt~filth
rẹ= your

Meanwhile
Your own ọ̀rọ̀ is not correct. Rather it is ọ̀rọ.

Before I let you run away. Have you read history of Ondo ekimogun? If not, then I will send you the link and see what is another word for father in Yoruba language which is also ancient word among Yorubas.

Olu317, when will you learn?
Ọ̀rọ̀ =do do (it is low - low tone
Ọ̀rọ = do re (low - high tone)

Guy are you out of your mind? Please take this to a primary school teacher to explain to you as whatever I write for you here seem to be too difficult for you

rhektor and macof, y’all should come and have a good laugh oo.

Olu has dropped the latest bombshell on our Yoruba diacritics o.

Olu317 can never learn

macof:
Actually what I wrote was
"ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ dàbí ẹni tí kò fẹ́ jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bùn rẹ̀" = your case is like someone who doesn't want to confess his filth
In correction to what he wrote which was wrong in many places.

The problem is that Olu doesn't understand the difference between "rẹ" and "rẹ̀" so he writes them both the same way

I know sir, I have to explain to Olu317, so that he can see where he's missing and mixing things up

TAO11:
rhektor, you sabi this language. I saw some things now as I was reading along. Kudos.

Boss, I doph my hat o, I am only a learner

Olu317:
I have never mentioned that I do not make mistake either due to omission or commission but more of nonchalant attitude towards issue I see as no big deal.

It is 100% accurate that your friends are the ones claiming accuracy to attack my personality,in which even they also fall prey to their attack on me .

Obviously, some of your guys actually are just bent on giving perfect information on Yoruba history when infact, Yoruba as a people have information hidden in her tradition which showed difference between Yorubas and many west Africans groups. This has always being my position because I have information from Yoruba Visual Arts found in Ileife which differs with pyramids found in Iboland And Egyptians Pyramids aswell as the Hieroglyphs of Egypt.

Yorubas do not have pyramids but Obelisk found in Egypt, Near East and Europe. The trident found in Yorubas opa oranmiyan does not exist wholly in Africa,rather it is found in Europe, Near East and Proper Asian records.

This is my point,which to farther the reality of where Yoruba Race's leaders and the thirteen settlement came from, which is distinct from Oramfe group.

The comment you responded to has nothing to do with your response, maybe it's an oversight or deliberate I can not say but I am sure that you decided to wave the issue raised in my comment for an obvious reason

The number he used to send the text was 09137135573.
..
How he got my full names correctly, I don't just know.
And he expected me to urgently send my CV to him.
..
The first red -alert I saw in the text message was the email address. It didn't resemble the official email of the SGF in any way.
..
So I rushed and checked his number on Truecaller, but the name there was “Dr. Williams SGF Office Abuja”.
Probably, he had gone on Truecaller by himself to edit the information so that anyone who searches the Number would see the name there and believe him.
..
I searched the email address on the internet, and I came to discover that he had been scamming lots of Innocent Nigerians since 2020 with this same email address, but with different names and different phone numbers.
..
Please my people, is there a way that he can be identified (and his exact location pinned) with his phone number, and arrested immediately with no further delay.??

True caller only uses the names with which anyone using truecaller has saved your number with. For example if many people who used truecaller had saved your number with Danfo, anyone who searches for your number on truecaller would find Danfo as your name

When you sent applications online to every vacancy advert, always know that scammers are using fake job vacancies as avenue to harvest information about you.
No be every job vacancy you go dey apply for o that's my one cent

AntiBMC:
How is it fake? It's clearly stated there in the handbook. The corpers even captured it in a video clip b4 they'd come and lie that the pictures were altered.

This country is finished. Na graduates wey say dem no go fit do without 33k I dey pity. 33k will not be enough for ransom o. Sit down after graduation and plan ur life. Going to waste one year in the name of serving a dead country looking for cheap labor isn't worth the risk. A word is enough for the wise.

Do you have the handbook?

Olu317:
Lmao ?Jubilating o'er false information. If indeed Yorubas were pure Africans,then where did all the dna differential comes from ? Ignorance is not an accuse but self denial is your problem.

Kindly post where Yoruba actually came from in Africa!

Are you even aware Ìṣàkọ̀lẹ̀ is paid to Ọ̀ràmfẹ̀ lineage?

Can you explain why Ìṣàkọ̀lẹ̀ is paid to Ọ̀ràmfẹ̀ lineage ?

Define Ọ̀ràmfẹ̀ group's relationship with other groups alongside odùà group in Iléifẹ̀

What about the genetic connection of Yorubas which shows far away morroco ancient fossil human links and Near East? You're a funny man because you lacked the pedigree to comprehend these things

No wonder you sped like a lightening when I posted dna analysis as compared with thepeople'sdnafoundin ancient Israel even Ibos can not stand it! .
Meanwhile, the connection with Ibos were purely inter -marriages and assimilation touches.

Note: If you need dna link to show ibos are not same as Yorubas based on deeper gene analysis , then consult me.

It is Morocco today lol soon it'll be the turn of Libya lmao quit being like this please for the sake of sanity

Olu317:
Lmao! Who told you that you are right? Infact who told you when you posted , the rejoinder you made any better correction ?

ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ dàbí ẹni ti kò fẹ̀ jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bùn rẹ̀ is correct ? false diacritics

Same problem recurring. Instead,it is "ọ̀rọ rẹ dàbí ẹni ti kò fẹ́ jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bun rẹ," I don't know the reason your arrogant situation is pathetic.

laṣẹ́ èdù your ignorance will continue to be corrected.

You goofed trying to correct what is right lol

Anytime anyone try to correct what is right they destroy it. Olu go and learn the basic use of diacritics in Yorùbá language, you won't die if you do

ọ̀rọ rẹ dàbí ẹni ti kò fẹ́ jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bun rẹ,

Ọrọ́ = **** ( you probably mean ọ̀rọ̀ = word)
Rẹ = you/your
Dàbí = is like
Ẹni = someone
Ti = peel (you probably mean tí )
Kò = not/don't
Fẹ́ = want
Jẹ́wọ́ = confess/say/assert
Ọ̀bun = ***** [you probably mean Ọ̀bùn = filth, dirty, market (in Ìjẹ̀bú dialect), weakness in context]
Rẹ = you/your (you probably mean rẹ̀ = him/her/it)

You can see word for word that you have destroyed what the actual statement mean by using the wrong diacritics.
If you strap all together in English you have made no sense in the sentence

Lmao! You are only bullying and it does not take away my spanking you.

Imaging empty ranting you who also cannot even post diacritically correctly, on second person possesive pronoun rẹ and not rẹ̀ ×?

Mallam macof, you're the one who needs see medical intervention....l, Èlú and not the Oyo version Olú remain intact. Instead you are the one who needs the medical rehabilitation so as to cure you of OCD. Plainly, Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a mental health condition characterized by repetitive, unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and irrational, excessive urges to do certain actions (compulsions).

You postulated lies perpetuated in the early 1900s AD (nineteen hundreds AD) till mid 2000s AD (twenty hundreds AD), when new researches claim otherwise. So check yourself before you do more damage to yourself.

Repent of your ignorance macof and stop hate speech.....

Rẹ and rẹ̀ are both correct as pronoun in the Yorùbá writing

It depends on if it to mean you or him
Rẹ = you
Rẹ̀ = him/her/it

Stop trying so much to make it look like you've not made any mistakes on the use of diacritics, Olu, you don't know how to apply diacritics at all, remember I have called you out on this before?

absoluteSuccess:
Faceless macof,

you are irrelevant to this discorse but king when it comes to Discord.

Where knowledge is concerned, you learn and find out if there's any possibility of error, if not you won't touch the post but insult it afar.

your usecase is to ridicule people greater than you, whose knowledge dwarfs your irrelevant minuscule area of expertise "diabolics", or sorry, diacritics.

And you call yourself an historian?

How much you go collect to tell us what eleyoro mean in the proverb, because e be like say your thesis is about Yoruba diacritics, o mu kankan lokan e gidi.

Ajibole.

The meaning of Eleyoro does not suffice at all in correcting your friend about his use of diacritics, maybe you don't know what diacritics are, it is "àmì ohùn"
Once you get the diacritics wrong you will get the words wrong and consequently not understand what the writer is trying to pass across. The Yorùbá language is a tonal language and as such it is written with diacritics to make sure that your readers won't be missing the right pronunciation. Yorùbá is not the only language with diacritics, French, Arabic etc has diacritics. Please tell your friend, Olu317 to learn the use of diacritics, it is very important because if you get the wrong diacritics you destroy the meaning of words.
For example
Ìgbà = time
Igbá = calabash
Igba = 200

Ifọ́n = a town
Ifọ̀n = a type of skin disease


Èwe = childhood
Ewé = leaf

You can see from these few words that when one write the diacritics is very important to make sure that your reader are not lost to what you mean

Although, sometimes the context could be of help but one wouldn't need to search for context if the diacritics are right. In fact, the diacritics could help you to understand the context

macof:
its like this guy really isn't capable of understanding diacritics. Why is it that anytime you write in yoruba it is always wrong. you can write it without any diacritics at all instead of trying to act like you know what you are writing

here is the correct way to write what you wrote here, even though you insulted me i will still teach you free of charge
ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ dàbí ẹni tí kò fẹ́ "jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bùn rẹ̀

oh and which screenshot? you this guy and your lies this comment of yours is literally your response to my diacritics of "igbalode" you do not have any previous comment responding to that
baba no post anything, he is here saying he posted screenshot


blabing and rants.

but i was expecting this as usual you argue you were not wrong. I never knew you to be a perosn to accept his mistake so i was surprised to see you did not argue about writing "yoruba" with the wrong diacritics. probably because that one is an extremely popular word that you would have to be raving mad to argue there. I mean it is the name of the language and people itself so of course . But who knows maybe you will soon come back to argue that one too

---
It is not "Igbálodé"
Igbá means "calabash". dé means "to arrive". Makes no sense. And just by pronouncing this it is so off. what you are saying here means "It is the calabash that arrived".

Go and learn to write yoruba properly mr. man and stop trying to fool people on nairaland

@TAO11, Abohboy, rhektor

Are you just knowing Olu317? Watch him change the topic in no time, the guy na chameleon

TAO11:
That Olu317 doesn’t know jack about the diacritics of Yoruba language is well known by all and sundry.

What he wrote is actually with the tone: re-mi-re-mi — that is, “it is calabash you wore [as ‘cap’]”

Wahala.
—————
PS: It is Ìgbàlódé by the way.

Regards.

The annoying thing about him is that, Olu317 will argue that he has evidence for his silly writings lol

He's never wrong, always right even when he's writting unintelligible words in Yorùbá language

Olu317:
Oh yes! You are even 200% correct . But you are even more guilty as a teacher .

This is the greatest joy I have......Laughing hilariously .

Tell me, who among you here has not blundered on diacritic in this platform ?

My stance has always being, that this is not a written thesis. So, why bother when you also fall victim of such.



Therefore, teach yourself or be taught by others because some Yoruba word falls under different diacritics and still with same meaning

Do self appraisal, my dear. For more informtion does your own accent falls within :

1. Yoruba language written in school ?

2. Yoruba language spoken in cities ?

3. Yoruba language spoken as hinterland dialect ?

To buttress my point, which among the word for "I" in your own dialect ?

mọ́
mó
me-mi
mé

Furthermore, how do you explain things to people when you can't remove the speck in your own eyes first before helping others. Instead you complain of specks on other people's eyes? Hypo.....te.


Let me clearly posit here that , whether there is sense in it or not, rather the message has been passed. Albeit the following is for you


"ìgbàlódé"- Correct

Olu: ọrọ̀ rẹ dabi ẹní ti kò fẹ "jẹwọ́ ọbun rẹ.....(not perfect, but better because I ommitted some diacritics)

Macof:ọ̀rọ̀ rẹ dàbí ẹni tí kò fẹ́ "jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bùn rẹ̀ (worse)

ọ̀rọ̀ ×:
ọ̀bùn ×
rẹ̀×

Yoruba language taught in school:
" ọ̀rọ rẹ dàbí ẹni ti kò fẹ́ jẹ́wọ́ ọ̀bun rẹ."

If one is to interpret what you wrote in the sentence lol
Ọ̀rọ = means nothing in Yorùbá not even in any of the Yorùbá dialect
Which school taught you tí write like this?
You even have to argue that ọ̀rọ̀ is wrong like what the f* is wrong with you? Olu317, I have said this before, "go back to school and learn proper use of diacritics in Yorùbá writing.


It is people like you who would argue Ọta and Otta, aiye and ayé ẹyẹ and ẹiyẹ etc

I have said this over and over again, he writes and fix any diacritics on Yorùbá words without any format, he'll just fix anything anyhow, same word he'll fix another kind of diacritics to suit his needs at a given time Olu317 don't know diacritics and that is one of the reasons for his Yorùbá Hebrew pursuit

Kaleleyoro lo na, kafabo sodo ediye.

Your friend macof talks about standard Yoruba, and judging from the foregoing he's comfortable with it.

His interpretation of "Oduduwa descended from heaven" was

"lati Orun ni Oduduwa ro wa"

Question 1.

Can you correct him or that is "standard Yoruba" to you too?

Question 2.

The word "ro" can be found in, ojo n "ro" and also Eba yi "ro".

Does these two usage differ in diacritic and meaning?

Question 3.

What's the English word for such word in a speech?

---

Thanks.

I pray you don't ask for money or what's not to correct your friend.

@macof, what is "eleyoro"?

The difference between the usage of rọ̀ both for Òjò and Ẹ̀bà is context not in the diacritics, if you know this, you wouldn't have to ask for it when discussing diacritics unless you just want to be sarcastic. As for ẹlẹ́yọ́rọ́, it could mean snake or fox

OfoIgbo:
And the funny thing is that about half of the Lagos IGR is being provided by SEners, and about 70% of Rivers state IGR is being provided by SEners also.

Proper economic planning and the installation of seaports at Oseakwa in Anambra and Obuaku in Abia, will quadruple the IGR of the SE states.

Adding Igbo areas in the SS stretching from Obigbo, to Opobo and Ubani, to Ogwashiuku to the SE will further help the Igbo economy.

Igbos will automatically be bestowed with the title of states with the largest IGRs

I’ve been looking for a way to get the attention of the public to our plight. My street is constantly flooded when it rains in Asaba. People’s houses get flooded with waters and cars get damaged. We have tried severally to get the attention of relevant authorities to help us but we are not successful. We spoke to the Catholic Church in my street to help but they couldn’t. We met with the traditional ruler and asked for help still nothing happened. We are tired, distraught and sad and our investments lose values on a daily. The water moves refuse dumps into our houses. Our children get sick. The photos included here were taken 2 days after rainfall. It’s a lot worse when you see it first hand.

We need urgent help. The name of my street is Definite Destiny Hotel road. Please help push to front page so we can get the help we do desperately need.

Forget laramode a Yoruba man who brought Islam from Mecca in 14 century to Yoruba land , when we know over here that it was usman Dan fodio who brought Islam yesterday in 18 century to Yoruba land .
Benin is the father of Yoruba,
oduduwa is a Benin man

If not that you are too dull to understand whatever you read, before Usman Dan Fodio ever thought of carrying out jihad in Northern part of this present day Nigeria, Islam has been in Yorùbá land. Y'all just come to nairaland to disgrace yourselves. Which Bini is father of who? Bini that were urinating in their wrapper when they heard that Ogedengbe of Ijesha is coming

samuk:
Well, atleast two Obas of Benin have categorically denied being Yoruba. Infact the last two were very explicit in denying being Yoruba. Should I believe you or them.

Mention them and let the whole world know that they are not children of the person they claim that their father is

samuk:
Let's wait for those you call upon. Let see if they are brain dead like yourself.

Whilst we wait, let me add these few lines.

You wasted my time yesterday explaining your dictionary evidence to you. You are either too slow to understand, or you were under the influence of intoxicant. Which was it?

I even advised you on two occasions to get your head cleared and sober before going back to read the dictionary.

I have to literally explain the content of your 4 lines dictionary word for word, line by line, it took hours, till this morning before you got the gist and you have now completely abandoned the dictionary.

Your today's evidence is Samuk submission you are trying to take and spin out of context. So what is today's evidence met to prove? That Benin and Oba of Benin are Yoruba?

Back to your dictionary evidence to prove that Benin people and Oba of Benin are Yoruba:

The Benin people have no respect for the Ooni of Ife at all. The Ooni was equated to a piece of Kola after breaking the full kola into 5 pieces.

In TAO11 lack of understanding of dictionary wordings, she thought her Ooni met God in heaven, I have to break it down to her that her Ooni in the context he was used in the Benin dictionary wasn't more than a piece of kola used for prayers to the gods.

After I finally drilled this definition into her blocked brain, she got the gist and withdraw the dictionary evidence.

Today, she wants to start with new distraction.

Thanks to TAO11 delusion, Nairalanders now know the meaning of Ooni in the Benin dictionary. Oghene when used to refer to the Ooni of Ife means a piece of kola, after the kola is broken into five pieces. In the Benin dictionary, the Ooni is not up to a full kola, it's not even up to half a kola, Ooni is 1 fifth, 1 part of a kola after it's broken into 5 pieces.

Let her resubmit the dictionary evidence if shame will allow her to do so.

Wow! So can you please show us where anyone has claimed that Bini people are Yoruba? What we've always maintained here is that your Ọba is a full Yoruba man and y'all Edo are his slaves
