Yorubas have a (often debated) link to ancient Phoenicia though.
In addition, almost everywhere in the world built ships, not only Europe and the US. |

tritt: Imagine and na the deputy governor wey cause the yawa name long pass..... That name actually sounds Yoruba (Biobaku), seems some Yoruba names have a lot in common with Ijoid ones. Although length of name shouldn't be a cause for concern in Nigerian politics or have the rules changed again. |

Gerrard59: Interesting thread. Honestly, I don't see any difference between India and Nigeria. Yes, they seem to have a lot in common if one doesn't consider ethnic background, etc. This thread has made me want to visit India but I'm not sure I can do public transportation like the op. If I could communicate in the local languages it might be an option but even then. . . . I'll probably just stick to the tourist centres. |

igbesachick: before i stepped on the train, this friendly indian youngster patiently explained to me how to identify the information on the ticket and how to read the information on the LED board.
his english was good . He looks nice and friendly, reminds me of a character in Basmati Blues (have you watched the movie). However, he seems too different from everyone else in the other pictures, not sure that's ok (for him personally). But it's good to see such people once in a while. |
