Why are Yoruba even putting up a fight when they will still give in Ibos have weighed us and seen that we are light, and the more we back off the more they come for us. We Yoruba have really lost it long ago.

FFK is epileptic!

FFK the Akuwarapa!

FFK the crackhouse rat!

This is the man they said is about to decamp Tell them jare!

Awujale, one king that can't be bought!

Jail is better cos the nightmare would last longer than a month.

It's an underwear and shouldn't be worn in front of guests.

Omotola all the way. Once pretty naturally will always be. Unlike gene whom you dare not zoom in on her face, all hideous pictures, except when covered with chalk like ogbologbo asewo.

The boko that tried to kill buhari is operating from asorock.

mustymatic:
hmmm...d buhari wey boko wan kill am fr road?

Oh ok!

It can't be! The black ones are witches of jonathan's peers, these are fake! He will lose cos the real white ones have the final say!

The white witches are compassionate, loving and protect the voiceless, and wouldn't want jonathan.

Why is the wife's name withheld? We know where women with capable hands of doing this are usually from.

That's Yoruba for you, and it's not my fault that your language has no depth like Yoruba.

Go to any Yoruba and they will tell you.

Speak for yourself, we know the word has no meaning in ibo, you just wanted to steal it.

kelvin100:
All I see is an attempt to fit the word into Yoruba lexicon.

How does Oyin (It's skinned) bo (peeled) make sense?
What is "It's skinned peeled"?
Geez, this is not a competition, this attempt to fit it into Yoruba lexicon is ridiculous.
Oyinbo/Oyibo has no meaning whatsoever in both Yoruba and Igbo languages, it's a mere corrupted word.
So just stop!

Or that the 'sweet crude' is so sugary they add it to chocolate, or that family member you call honey is so sweet your blood sugar goes up when you see them Let's wait till july when the the 16 Agemos will come and respond.

adeitoro:
guy, what is the link between white man and peeled honey?

Is it that the white man came with honey when his skin is peeling?

I am getting confuse by logic, it doesn't add up.

Whichever way you look at it's still a Yoruba word and simply means peeled skin in Yoruba!




Oyin - honey

O yin - it's skinned

Bo - peeled

You are trying to derail the thread with your abusive words cos your claims have no legs to stand on. It won't take me 5 mins to scatter the thread if I want, but not now. You are made for a joke and that is on now.

What has sweet got to do with 'sweet crude" oil? Get that first like I asked you earlier before we proceed. You have burrowed most of the words you use today, your language is almost dead.

safarigirl:
grow sense please. And what does honey have to do with white people?

If someone keeps calling yellow 'yennow'....people will start calling that person 'yennow' to mock the person. If white mispronounced ony'igbo as 'oyibo' it makes sense if the people would start calling them the same thing

If you're too ethnocentric to accept that, fine, but stop quoting me to yarn dust. ALL OF YOU

No they don't mean the same! But for words burrowers like you they will mean same!

Oyin - honey or sweet

Oyi - dizziness or fainting spell

You couldn't have called whitemen same name they called you, come back with less lame claim!

safarigirl:
stop trying to make silly claims

Yoruba people call it oyinbo. The rest of us who far outnumber south west call it oyibo. They both mean the same thing. Everyone but Yorubas know that.


Now stop quoting me and use google, sheesh!

Yoruba use sweet in place of honey, so what is 'sweet' doing in nigeria's "crude oil'?

Dumb died dumb bury am!

safarigirl:
Even the angle of honey doesn't rhyme cuz honey is a golden brown colour, not pale

Yoruba has history so rich that nothing can be added to it.

Post a link where the Itsekiris who speak ijebu and bear Yoruba names say they are not Yoruba. As for Edo, there are many tribes there including Yoruba, if names, orisa and oba are to go by. Names like Modupe, Toyin, Taiye/Kehinde are Yoruba names with no meaning or origin in general Edo population except those who probably came with the oba, remember we don't speak the same language.

Names are pointers to one's origin!

BraniacX:
The way you yorubas skew history time and again to suit your pathetic agendas is very sad. I feel sorry for you lot claiming every one has affiliation with you while in the same vein same people are denying any affiliation with you by any means possible.
Have you asked any itsekiri historian about any probable connections between them and ijebus? No! But you ascribe that to them already from the comfort of your armchair.
Now what happens to the already accepted history of a benin prince setting up the itsekiri kingdoms
It never occurred to you that the history of some peoples is not as vague and theoretical as yours.

Yoruba had what they called 'Abidi' according to my granny, but that's not the issue. I'm not a japanese and chinese language expert, but going by your way of always claiming what belongs to others, I had to think that you got it from asia. You have given eveyone the impression that nothing about you is authentic.

I'm not talking about what you recently stole from Japanese ok! The whole world already knows that there's nothing original about ibos, always stealing. Even town, culture and words aren't spared!

Ibo don't have enough parlance historically, they have always stolen Yoruba words and they will continue to do so. Please let them, after all we are speaking and writing english, so there's nothing wrong in ibo language containing even 50% Yoruba words. Yoruba helped wrote ibo language on paper and taught them how to read, so it's perfectly understandable how they adopted several words from us.

See what people who come on nairaland to act like saints do to fellow human. Bunch of cowards taking out their frustration on poor innocents when politicians are there for them to stone.

Ibadan alone is bigger than the entire SE.

ChristyG:
u know nothing about the the geography of nigeria,how can d west have d smallest land or population when oyo state alone is bigger than 3 of the 5 eastern states?u nothing nigga,#emptybrain

Why has Osun alone been making news about unpaid salaries? I thought some states are doing worse. Most states in Nigeria are guilty of this. Take politics out it.


How many states below have now gone ahead and paid the workers?

Apc handlers should be all over this!

Please run with it! You don't leave a news as juicy as this to go to waste!

With your language I can see that you are in a rehab and a step closer to a loony bin, sorry, I won't be joining you there, goodluck!

The federal government has slept through it all but, someone has to do the job. Thank God for Fashola!

NairaMode:
Cool stuff.
Just wondering why Fashola has taken this upon himself.
This is a Federal Government task..

Does your federal government know there's anything called ebola?

datguru:
Why not Nigerian government but Lagos state government ?
