Origin of the word " Oyibo "

Oyibo or Oyinbo is a word used in Nigerian Pidgin, Igbo and Y‎oruba to refer to westernized people. ‎In Nigeria, it is generally used to refer to a person of European descent or people perceived to not be culturally African. The word is pronounced ‎oyinbo ‎ in Yoruba speaking areas and oyibo ‎ in Igbo language. Both terms are valid in Pidgin English.

How The Word Evolved ‎

The origin of the word is difficult to ascertain. It is believed that the name is coined from the Yoruba translation of “peeled skin” or “skinless,” which, in Yoruba, translates to “yin” – scratch “bo” – off/peel; the "O" starting the word "Oyinbo" is a pronoun. Hence, "Oyinbo" literally translates to "the man with a peeled off skin". ‎Other variations of the term in Yoruba language include: Eyinbo, which is usually shorted as "Eebo". ‎

In Igbo language, demonym takes the form “onye” + “place of origin.” Hence, whereas an Igbo person is called “onye Igbo,” a Yoruba is called “Onye Yoruba” and a German “onye Germany.” Thus, the first white people were called either “onye ocha” (singular) or “ndi ocha” (plural), for “white person” and “white people,” respectively. This was because the Igbos of those days did not know from where the white people came. Interaction between the Igbos and the white people resulted in the white people trying to refer to the Igbos with a name similar to what the Igbos called them but there was a problem in pronouncing Igbo words due to the presence of double lettered alphabets, which involve nasal pronunciation, in some of the consonants, such as 'ch', 'gb', 'gh', 'gw', 'kp', 'kw', 'nw', 'ny', 'sh'. These were not present in the English language, hence the difficulty in the European man's effort in giving the Igbos a similar demonym as the Igbo people had given to him, instead a name resulting from a mutilation of Igbo words was produced "Oyi ibo' instead of " onyi igbo' meaning 'Igbo person' just as he 'the white man' was called ' onye ocha' meaning 'white person'. It was this 'oyi ibo' that the Igbos later started referring to as 'white person' in a way of mocking the white man for his inability in saying "Onye Igbo". This would later be adopted by other Southern Nigerian tribes as the standard name for the white man and coupled with dialect variance one obtains different pronunciations such as "Oyinbo' in Yoruba and other western Nigerian tribes. Also, 'Oyibo' means English Language in Igbo. In general usage, it may refer to individuals with various skin complaints such as vitiligo or genetic conditions such as albinism. ‎

Oyibo is also used in reference to people who are foreign or Europeanised, including Saros in the Igbo towns of Port Harcourt, Onitsha and Enugu in the late 19th and early 20th century. ‎Sierra Leonean missionaries, according to Ajayi Crowther, a Yoruba, and John Taylor, an Igbo, descendants of repatriated slaves, were referred to as oyibo ojii (Igbo: black foreigners) or "native foreigners" by the people of Onitsha in the late 19th century.‎

Olaudah Equiano, an African abolitionist, claimed in his 1789 ‎narrative that the people in Essaka, Igboland, where he claimed to be from, had used the term Oye-Eboe in reference to "red men living at a distance" which may possibly be an earlier version ofoyibo. Equiano's use of Oye-Eboe, however, was in reference to other Africans and not white men.‎ Gloria Chuku suggests that Equiano's use of Oye-Eboe is not linked to oyibo, and that it is a reference to the generic term Onitsha and other more westerly ‎Igbo people referred to other Igbo people. ‎R. A. K. Oldfield, a European, while on the Niger River near Aboh in 1832 had recorded locals calling out to him and his entourage "Oh, Eboe! Oh, Eboe!" meaning "White man, White man!" linked to modern 'oyibo'. ‎

The word may also be said to be a corruption of the Edo word ‘ovbiebo,’ a blend of two words: ‘ovbi,’ meaning ‘child’ or ‘indigene,’ and ‘ebo,’ the Edo word for Caucasian. Other southern Nigerian tribes may have found it difficult to pronounce the ‘vbi’ consonant, corrupting ‘vbi’ to ‘yi’ or ‘yin,' with 'oyibo' and 'oyinbo' eventually coming to replace the original Edo coinage.

Katier00:
so other Christians are not in the Lord. what do you mean by 'marry only in the Lord '

tnks for the question. Other xtians are in the 'Lord'. But, teaching, doctrines and dogma are not the same. So, Is It will not be wise for each to choose spouses in a group of xtians, we share the same teaching, doctrines, and dogma to avoid marital conflict? REMEMBER what happened to king solomon for not marry from his group of people.

Attention!

This is the press statement from Anambra state police command today. I believe it is related to the planned protest by IPOB tomorrow.

The leaders of the protest should act thoroughly to ensure lives are not lost and the protest conducted peacefully. Again the police should mobilise its officers and men and give the protesters adequate protection

Security is everybody's duty. No one should take laws into his hands. The police has the duty to protect and guide protesters to avoid some elements and enemies of both govt and IPOB from hijacking it to cause mayhem.

Their is no harm in peaceful protest.

I'm a Christian first and foremost, then a Jehovah's/Jesus' Witness. Not a watchtower witness. I used to defend the Watchtower's teaching vehemently like the @OP is doing, I dug into their publications and practiced new ways of defending the Watchtower believe, untill something happened one day.
Then, I started researching our teachings, "watchtower's teaching", that was when I came to understand exactly what i have never realise before.

That the teachings of watchtower is different from what the Bible teachings, and I had to go through the pains of comparing many our the teachings from the Christian congregation with what is actually in the Bible.

What really open my eyes to each and every step of the Governing body and their ways of manipulation of the scriptures was the book, "crisis of conscience" and "in search of Christian freedom" , both written by a former governing body.
It moved me to tears, the details, the description, one sided argument they present, what they leave out in their arguments, the scriptures they choose to emphasize and the part they deliberately ignore, the minutes of the Governing body, they dominant attitude.

I mean, Jws see and hear things happening but don't really know why it happened. But, the book connected all the dots. That was when I came to realise that I cannot trust in any man made organisation, neither can I rely on any. I had to start looking at the scriptures more and more and I learnt more in a space of 1 year than I had ever learn after my baptism.


Do you remember Nicodemus? He believed in jesus but was also a pharisees. So he had to do what anyone that fears but believe but also fears losing one or two things would do. He became a secret disciple and use to visit Jesus in the night.

sorry, you dont really know you are saying. Is there a different b/w "Bible teach and what watchtower teach"? If so, what is the sources of both?

When you say ''our past undestanding'' does it include you, or is it just referring to those people at your American headquartes?

Katier00:
why don't your people marry from other denominations or you guys doing the same

It is simple law given to israelites not to marry from other tribe that does not worship jehovah. King solomon made that mistake by marrying from those tribe and really suffered. Marry only in the Lord is also an inspired words of apostle paul, we also try to obey too
