3ace: @sholly, brilliant analysis even from the first comment. My only initial grouse with you was this;But back to the topic, I think Adenuga is one of those rich men who believe that their son-in-law is not interested in their daughter but their wealth. He's just being selfish. What's wrong with your daughter's husband enjoying the goodwill of the family since they have become one? Let others rise too. Whether she continues to bear Adenuga or not, if she dearly loves, respects and cherish her husband, she will willingly transfer any inheritance to her husband.
This is a wrong view.

Hopefully her husband is wiser than what you typed there.

MetaPhysical: If the words were donated Yoruba then Greek could not have been the source. I say this because in our beliefs Agboniregun is primal and had to have been with our ancestors from time immemorial, part of altar worship and rites is dedicated to Agboniregun.

So where did Greek get Aborigene?
could be from greece, egypt or ancient italy.

aborigine originally referred to the indigenous inhabitants of italy, it seems.



Like i said Yoruba and Greek dipped foot in the same cultural stream at one point in ancient history. If Yoruba was domestic to that culture, the it was the donor of these words amd Greek was the recipient. If on the other hand Yoruba was a foreigner in that culture, then Agboniregun was a donation to us as Aborigene was a donation to Greek.
thats possible.


seems to show interaction in any case.



Our challenge is finding what our status was. Our arts, the bronze and terracotta, are the same style with the Greeks and even in cults the pantheons are parallel matches.
true.

the influence could be greco-egyptian perhaps.



This is no accident and cannot be attributed to contacts during colonialism, it prefates that by centuries.
rather too many coincidences to ignore, i agree.

and not seeing too many colonial links so far.


Following in Frobeunis shocking remark, maybe Ife was the lost Atlantis afterall !
one would have to define atlantis first.

if it means a root of civilization, then could be something.

MetaPhysical: Done.

If we have contributors who understand other WesternEuropean languages beside English it would help. Not only for explaining the etymology of these words but also that the Portuguese had written accounts of their contact with Yoruba before England did. Going through their archives might help clarify on a lot of things.
Most of their old records were destroyed during an earthquake.

She's a top official in her dad's companies, so if the husband has no objections, it might be more expedient for her to combine both names.
