If you pass the selection test, I can have you on the reserve list. Just indicate 'Idanre dialect' when you send me your application. If I have need for any other dialects in Ondo State in the near future, I will post a request. Thanks. |

Edema is from 'Eda Amo / Eda Ama / Eda a mo/ Eda a ma' = Creature of Clay / Molded Creature. This is 'man', the biblical 'Adam', which a word of Yoruboid origins. Those translating Edema as gentleman just mean 'man'. Origins of 'gentleman' na anoda Tori entirely. Happy New Year everyone! � Efewestern: |

ERCROSS: I saw houses with electricity and celebratory music playing out of them while houses with the current Nigerian emblem were in darkness and all the furniture in them were thrown outside. All the Houses were in a compound like form with no fences. The dream was before the last election that Buhari lost before he became President. Two parties were trying to merge but talks broke down. They would have won if they had merged as it was one of the new acronyms they later considered that was shown to me in the dream. I look forward to the salvation of Nigeria from the hands of the bedmates of Satan! God bless the OP! 1 Like |

BeansAndBread: That's fantastic! Now, please show me Sharia Law in the Bible. Not one lone law or two. You should show me in the quran (or the hadith) law for law. For each of Moses' law show me the exact in the Quran (or the hadith). Please, kindly start with the ten commandments. And then move on to the other laws or you could just do all 613 laws in any order of your choice. |

bluke: Every Yoruba tribe has a part in it, Bro! It would take a full analysis of the whole Torah text to say which tribe owns most of it. Every modern Yoruba person is able to read and understand some of it because those dialects would have been one in the past; 'something' split the tongue. Most words are the same across all Yoruba dialects; some may be pronounced differently or have vowels or consonants removed or added. 1 Like |

lx3as: That song was by Elemure. He is late now. I think there is Youtube video on him or his songs. There was also another Elemure who sang with an Ijesha dialect. Meeeehn! ���� That song must be some 30 - 40 years old o! I don't think they are dialectal influences with respect to their location and neighbours, they have always been spoken like that. I do however agree there are influences that there are influences on the dialects. Younger speakers want to sound and speak like Lagosians; if only they knew what treasure they hold. My mum used to put her dialect down to the Water. She is Ijesha-speaking Ekiti and says they drink the same water as the Ijeshas, hence the Ijesha tongue. And of course, Ilesha is only walking distance from her hometown. My Dad's dialect sounds like Ife dialect which I used to find strange cos his hometown is in Ekiti North nearing Kogi State. 1 Like |

Having Shariah Courts in the Lagos will mean that many muslim women will leave Islam. Example is when they find out that their testimony is only worth that of half of man, or when a few women get stoned to death for adultery or fornication. Sharia Courts in Yorubaland will open the eyes of Yoruba muslims to the real spirit of Islam! 1 Like |

bluke: Many of the Paleo words are ancient Yoruba words, and the spellings, words and pronounciation have evolved over time, with contraction taking out vowels and consonants. When you vowelise from Paleo to Yoruba, you will find the vowelised words cut across mainly ilu-oke dialects like someone pointed earlier. E.g. ELU is undisputably an old word for Lord in Ekiti dialects but trying to go from Ekiti to Paleo may give you issues as your translator will like go for the modern/evolved equivalent of Lord in the Ekiti dialect, and that is exactly what lx3as did. Also there are variations in the Ekiti dialects, e.g some Ekiti dialects are very close to the Ilesha dialect and some to the Kwara dialects, so a translation from 10 Ekiti people will not give you the same words; that is why Yoruba ajumolo was invented so that an Ekiti man can read what an Ijebu man wrote without getting lost! 1 Like |

ImperialYoruba: If you haven't already posted this, I would really love to know your thoughts on the 'Yoruba - Arab', as most scholarly work available only tend to do it the other way round. I actually think 'ancient' Arabic is a Yoruba dialect (investigations continuing on this) possibly hijacked somewhere along the line, just like 'modern Hebrew'. I already know the Old Testament is written in Yoruba's ancient script a.k.a Paleo Hebrew. Happy New Year! |

ImperialYoruba: Interesting! Vowelising the Paleo Hebrew consonant root for 'Jacob' yields 'oYaaKWoBi' which when 'iparoje' (contraction) is applied will be shortened as 'Yakobi' giving us how the modern 'Jacobi' came about. I believe his 'akosejaye' gave birth to his name; Rebecah went to 'enquire of the Lord' about the babies struggling in her womb and was told what would happen. Jacob living true to his name took the birthright clean off the 'akobi' (Esau), making him one 'who surpassed/overtook the firstborn' (oYaaKWoBi). |

brodalokie: If 'Ile-ife' and 'life' have any correlation, 'Life' would be from 'Ile-Ife' as the the Yoruba language is some 1500 years older than English. |

Olu317: You vowelise not the root word but the root consonants, and that is what you did in your example. Paleo Hebrew is all consonants (represented by hieroglyphics), and so was arabic until the 8th Century. |

I do not believe that the Yoruba or all peoples emanated from present-day Ife via the 'chicken and sand' route , especially since I am a Bible believer.

OlaoChi: You are missing the point which is that the 'Jewish' have taken on an identity which is not theirs. (Try reading 'The invention of the Jewish People' and 'The Thirteenth Tribe', to start with). They took on the identity of a people displaced from their land by War and persecution. The 'Jews' admit they are no blood relations of Israel; they are converts. African Americans are testing their haplogroups and some results are linking to the Yoruba with Haplogroups identified as being of Jacob's descendants. Try this: The Igbos are recognised as being 'Jews' by Israel. Now apply your 7 questions to the Igbo. Now apply the same 7 questions to the Falasha Jews of Ethiopia, majority of whom were evacuated to Israel. The descendants of the victims of the transatlantic slave trade outside of Africa today, do they eat the food the ancestors took with them on those slave ships? I heard they travelled First Class with 300kg baggage allowance each! Or could it be possible that the slaves settled down in their new countries and ate and planted what was available there? Or were their brothers sending Stockfish and Akpu by DHL? 1 Like |
