Lol, you're funny. It might interest you to know that Southern Nigeria Protectorate was formed in 1900 and so does Northern Nigeria Protectorate. Lagos colony was formed on 5th March 1862.

On 1st January 1914, Lagos Colony, Southern Nigeria and Northern Nigeria were amalgamated to form the present day Nigeria.

Officially, Nigeria is 101 years old but was only given independence on 1st October 1960.

Now, is the president-elect older than his country?

Obeah is an Igbo word, Obia, it means sciences.

"Obeah (sometimes spelled Obi, Obea, or Obia),[1] is a term used in the West Indies to refer to folk magic, sorcery, and religious practices developed among West African slaves, specifically of Igbo origin."

Okra is an Igbo word, which means that Igbo speakers were probably most identified with it, besides that, the question was about linguistic evidence and okra is just one word along with Eboe Drum, Red bone, and so on.

"The origin of the word junkanoo is rather obscure. Douglas Chambers, professor of African studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, suggests a possible Igbo origin from the Igbo yam deity Njoku Ji referencing festivities in time for the new yam festival. Chambers also suggests a link with the Igbo okonko masking tradition of southern Igboland which feature horned maskers and other masked characters in similar style to jonkonnu masks. Many of the colonies Jonkonnu was prominent, Bahamas, Jamaica, Virginia, had a relatively high percentage of Igbo people among the enslaved African population. Similarities with the Yoruba Egungun festivals have also been made."

Your argument is strong but your choice of reference (Wikipedia) nullifies it's strength. Not hating or anything like that but could you dig up a more reliable reference?

Deception is when a black woman wears fake lashes, fake complexion, padded bra, padded pant, 24 inches weave, Mary Kay foundation with cheek & nose contours, waist trainer, fake nails, fake height, fake eye colours & fake accent

Seriously though, why are they so fake?
