o'boy: Well, i am from Ogidi,and we say Ngaji. But that isn't the point, the point is that NGAJI is the written standard name for spoon in Igbo izugbe. |

Igbos of the old didn't eat with spoons, they ate with hand, so i am guessing the Ngaji and Ngazi are not old Igbo names,atleast not in my town. What Igbos had was things they use to transfer food from pots to plates. My grandfather told me that they use to call them EKU in my town. But these days, nobody call them that again, Ngaji had taken over. |

dont8:Oh wow! The Ebira and Yoruba words! Well the two groups both share a common land border in Kogi and Edo (I read that the Igaras of Akoko Edo are of mainly direct Ebira origin). ~~~~~~ Unveiling Jamaica's Hidden Billionaires The 21 Families That Control the Island's Wealth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eE-GbA3xMKw?si=8lB_1vwinml1A2DU yawdman International • Jul 1 2024 Comments: @JessJayEel 1 month ago (edited) [July 2024] As a Haitian, I like to warn Jamaicans that if you plan on building competition on the island it will get very ugly. Haitians realized the power of families like these and tried to push back against them. They would buy out politicians to monopolize on certain industries. Once the people revolted, sudddenly people are kidnapped and journalists assassinated. The theory is that some of these families in Haiti operate like the mafia. So they pay street gangs to go against anyone who tries to make the system more fair for everyone. Lastly, imperial powers loves families like these. They use government contracts to sell out to western countries . It is a never ending war once it starts. Cuba realized this game a lot earlier than most of the caribbean and because they wanted the people to benefit more from the industries, they have been dealing with harsh blockades and sanctions. Zimbabwe tried as well. All in all, it is not going to be easy, people will die, and there will be many refugees as a result. If you wondering why there is always political instability in Haiti, the answer is right there. The power struggle is on going. I hope Jamaicans and the rest of the Caribbean finally wakes up. The same conciousness is building in Africa as well. We got this! One Love. Update: I see a lot of hopeless comments from Jamaicans and I'm here to encourage you. If you want to fight corruption, you have to set your mind to thinking that the struggle will be a long one. It's not going to be resulted in your lifetime. But as long as you keep fighting that is all that matters. Before the Haitian Revolution, there was so many attempts to break free from slavery. A lot of it ended in mass murder of the rebellious enslaved Africans. But my ancestors never lost hope. Once the opportunity came, we fought harder than ever before. That is how you should see it. Like a long battle until the perfect opportunity comes for victory. The tide is changing globally so be ready for what is to come. Protests are happening all over Africa, people in Latin America are slowly waking up, the elites are getting scared. God is on the side of the righteous. Read Psalms 9. Our time will soon come. Keep fighting and keep spreading truth to power. One Love! 557. 97 Show more replies ~~~~~~ 1 Like 1 Share |

yinka902:Bump. Those are some of the loan words incorporated into Hausa language that are derived directly from the Yoruba language. Yorubas also have some loan words derived from Arabic. But these few Arabic loan words in Arabic also have Yoruba original equivalents that are used simultaneously. The Hausa people refer to it as Agwaluma, a term they adopted from the Yoruba language, rather than "Agbalumo." This is because there is no African star apple native to Hausa Land. One local enduring sobriquet is derived from the Yoruba agbalumo, i.e., 'agbaluma,' and is used in certain parts of Nigeria.
