There's NORHING to it, at least not in the way you mean...

You obviously don't know any morphology (Word formation)

Root word, prefix, suffix, Etymology...

I see what u are trying to do but don't force it, you don't just pick random words and try to prove a point...

The properties of the two languages are different.


Look let me lecture u further, see below

Igbo Yoruba English
Mmiri Omi water
Aka. Aka/Apa hand
Ewu Ewure goat
Onu enu mouth
Etc

This actually proves that there was a relationship between igbo and Yoruba the two languages belong to the same family as well and they are geographically not distant, now there is something there



If u really believe that west Africans settled in Europe, you just be really stupid, sorry to say, it is really stupid to even conceive that idea


English, french, German are products of Latin

Do you mind to pay so that I can lecture you?

I feel your aspiration but you are not using your head u are just using gut feelings.


Apologies but u really need to shelve this stupidity, it's no longer funny
Look at this AIR HEAD with secondary school knowledge who thinks he actually knows something.

Have you heard of Grimaldi Man?

I know you haven’t, so let me lecture your air head.

Grimaldi Man was the name given to the reconstruction of fossilised remains of one of the earliest humans discovered in Europe. He was found to be an AFRICAN BLACK MAN and was carbon dated to 40,000 BCE.

That proved to researchers decades ago that BLACK AFRICANS were the first Homo Sapien settlers of Europe, and lived in Europe for at least 30,000 YEARS before the first so called “white people” emerged roughly 7,000 years ago.

The “white people” were essentially albinoid Africans who may have mated with Neanderthals.

In fact EUROPE was the LAST region that was settled by Africans, who were the world’s first and original people who explored and settled the entire world tens of thousands of years before any other race of human beings existed.

Africans built and sailed in ships and explored the entire world. They sailed to Australia in ships 50,000 years ago. Their descendants are the so-called Aborigines of Australia. The first settlers of Asia were BLACK AFRICANS.

The first empires of India, China and Japan were BLACK AFRICAN empires.

This is called the Out of Africa thesis, and is confirmed by multiple DNA studies, and is now recognised as scientific FACT.

Black Africans invented speech, writing, mathematics, astronomy, architecture, religion, the sciences and the arts.

Kemet (Egypt) was for thousands of years the “USA” of the world, as Greeks and other foreigners left Europe to school in the then BLACK AFRICAN EMPIRE OF EGYPT.

Black Africans built the pyramids and temples of Egypt.

Before Egypt there was an EARLIER precursor empire known as TA SETI, which later came to be known as Nubia and Kush, in modern day Sudan.

There are over 250 pyramids in Sudan today, more than the number in Egypt.

Many of them are older than any pyramids in Egypt, because pyramid building started in inner Africa before those Africans migrated upwards to Egypt.

So when we are talking about AFRICAN INFLUENCE ON THE WORLD, it is all-pervasive, and it’s not something you are taught in schools because there is an agenda to keep this knowledge away from Africans.

They want you to keep feeling inferior and subservient to the “white people” your ancestors civilised out of the caves of the Caucasus mountains.

It’s far more sophisticated than that. And will tell you when your proposition is baseless, and conversely, when it sounds credible, meritorious, and deserving of deeper research, AS WAS THE CASE IN THIS INSTANCE.

Your problem is you are a dunce, so you haven’t the slightest clue how to conduct objective research with AI.

I'm impressed. I have noted half of the words listed above for discussion in my planned research after I published the first of my proposed tripartite trilogy documenting a possible integer that's proven to be a recurrent harmonizing factor in observed foreign influences in pre-Columbian American cultures. I intend to study Igbo, Amharic and Amazigh populations to see how it correlates with the Amerindian populations I'd already studied. I'm glad someone else can see this and you'd be shocked how big this actually is. Goes beyond just English. It's actually from earlier Celtic/Druid/Saxon influences in English
You are absolutely correct. I might also add that the original Celts and Druids were black Africans.

And they built Stonehenge and all the megalithic structures of Europe.

U are very funny, just a dozen words and you think that means they were one

Do you know how large a vocabulary is?
USE YOUR HEAD.

Who said they were ''ONE''?

It was 25 words, by the way, not 12, so don’t tell lies.

How many word cognates must the two languages share before you see a connection? 100? 1000?

Did the ancient English and modern Europeans not mix with other people and invaders/conquerors further down the line that would have added their own vocabulary?

AI technology just told you up there that there is SOMETHING to it, based on the similarity of JUST THOSE 25 WORDS with identical meanings.

HealthRe: Nigerians Can No Longer Afford To Buy Drugs – Pharmacists by Rossikk(m):
Freetech:
Shameless professionals

The cost of drugs is on the high side because pharmacist refuse to produce drug locally with locally available raw materials.

Most of the drug in Nigeria are of low quality as ll from China and India.

Currency devaluation objective is to reduce and divert economy from import to export.
DON'T MIND THEM.

It is the colonial inferiority complex that is still troubling them.

When they wake up, they will collaborate with traditional practitioners and herbalists to manufacture home grown medicines.

Useless people.

Go to China. They use home grown CHINESE MEDICINE to cure most illnesses there.

What is the difference between Chinese medicine and African medicine?

NOTHING.

It was ancient Africans who first settled in China thousands of years ago, and built empires there.

So what they are doing in China by way of medicine is what they inherited from our ancestors.

Even acupuncture. They do it in traditional Yoruba medicine.

WE taught them those things.

Now these lazy ones brainwashed by Britain to shun and disregard their heritage are here looking for dollars to import medicines from America and London.

USELESS THINGS.

SMALL CHILDREN TALKING RUBBISH BECAUSE YOU ARE SHALLOW-MINDED, IGNORANT, AND THOUGHTLESS.

Before colonialists invaded this country and introduced their GUTTER RELIGION CALLED CHRISTIANITY, if a man wanted to embark on a long journey, he would go and consult TRADITIONAL PRIESTS who will sit down with him, AND USING DIVINATION, discover if the journey would yield positive or negative outcomes.

BASED ON THAT INSIGHT, the man would decide if to embark on the journey or not.

For all we know, THIS GUY'S SPIRIT IS CALLING HIM BACK TO NIGERIA FOR A REASON.

It could be to avoid an accident there, or a broken marriage, or joblessness, or even a criminal attack.

It could also be because his DESTINY FOR SUCCESS lies in Nigeria.

There are MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN NIGERIA DOING BETTER THAN PEOPLE OVERSEAS.

Many Nigerians overseas are frustrated, jobless, or working in jobs that don't match their qualifications.

You don't know what his CHI has seen ahead of him.

surgical:

There is what is called comparative advantage, Nigeria should not be paying the same price like countries who do not have fuel
YOU ARE WRONG.

That idea can only work if Nigeria was a country of 5 million people like UAE.

Nigeria's oil reserves are low compared to the gulf states, and she produces 1.9 million barrels a day, compared to say Saudi which produces 12 million barrels a day, or the USA, 14 million barrels a day. Or Canada, with 4.5 million barrels a fay.

So a population of 250 million being sold the tiny amount of fuel we produce at below market, cheaper prices is unfeasible, untenable, and unsustainable.

You people need to understand that Nigeria is not an OIL RICH country.

We just have a little bit of oil. That's it.

Canada produces nearly 3 times more oil than Nigeria.

Do you see them shouting ''we have oil so it should be very cheap and free''?

NO.

Most people don't even know Canada has oil.

It's just one small sector of their economy.

You with you small oil, you think everybody in Nigeria should be a millionaire, if not for the leaders stealing ''all the huge oil money''.

Which oil money?

DIVERSIFY AWAY FROM OIL AND STOP EXPECTING CHEAP OR FREE OIL.
