YonkijiSappo: Initially (long ago), most people in Akoko Area didn't speak Yoruba. Yoruba took over their original languages (which were originally all Edoid or "Nupe like" ), and continues to spread eastwards, Edo languages and Ebira are the next in the line of danger. this is from my own personal extensive research. wrong. you have it backwards. Edo and Ebira are Nupoid which means they were affiliated with Nupe at some point. |
Education › Re: Remembering Achebe by tpiadotcom: 1:16am On Nov 24, 2015 |
Bucharest: It was like the discovery of a new world, akin to the “discovery” of a "lost" territory by an explorer. *Things Fall Apart*, published 57 years ago in 1958, was not like other African works before it; it managed to draw the curiosity of the global audience who previously thought of African literature as literature about Africa, Africans and the African way of life by Europeans. Works like Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, H. Rider Haggard’s King Solomon’s Mines, Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Tarzan of the Apes and Baroness Karen von Blixen-Finecke’s Out of Africa easily come to mind in this regard. true |

OAUTemitayo: Are the Okun people not Kogites? Grouping them with a majority Igala in the first instance against their protest is injustice of the highest order. Okun people have the right to rule too. and who told you they are not ruling, is it mandatory someone must occupy a govt house before they can rule? last time I checked, they have their representatives in congress and likewise in the senate, so where is this idea of their not ruling coming from?  Whatever works for them in Kogi is what they should follow. eod. |

OAUTemitayo: I am a Yoruba boy from Ogun state, but the plight of any Yoruba anywhere in the world is my plight. no it's not sweetie. Besides anybody can claim anything here, you have not proved anything you're saying. How on earth will igala people be the only one ruling Kogi? if Kogians are ok with it, then outsiders should face their own business. Don't Yoruba people have the right to rule. Faleke all the way. I'm sure you are simply trying to stir up trouble but unfortunately, it's not happening. protest indiscipline instead. |

9jacrip: Are these attitudes exclusive to all AAmericans? I think not.
Besides, the Akata could be a term used solely for female AAs for being 'no nonsense' type of folks as women are generally are.
I thin the term is just a reference for classification with no necessary meaning the same way Middle Beltans arr called 'egede', Ibos are called 'yinmirin' and Hausas are called something too.
Yoruba is known to develop words for things/groups. sorry! Yorubas name people based on their places of origin and tribe. eg omo Ibo meaning child of Ibo, omo Awusa meaning child of Hausa or Hausa descendant. Names like Gambari which is also a term for Hausa people, are from an actual Hausa name which is Gambari (could also be the name of a town) Nyamiri which they said means water, is a Hausa term , not a Yoruba one. AAs are simply called Oyinbo (white people or Europeans). go easy on the misinformation. ajokuta mamomi which is a reference to food, is the same category as ofe mmanu. I have no idea where or when these recent terms originated and neither did I encounter any of such prior to joining nairaland. |

common good before personal interests.
let us try to look beyond tribe sometimes.
Yorubas do not depend on politics to progress, if that were so then past administrations which they said employed the fewest number of Yorubas in history, would have affected the region much more negatively. |
