MaziUche0: That is quite understandable. At least, Igbos are next door neighbours to Ibibios. But how does 2 isolated groups in their current locations come to have very corrupted, but similar words when the other cultures in-between them dont have such words? 1 Like |

Ileke-IdI: When did you learn Ibibio? excanny: Are you saying Edo doesn't have similar words with Igbo? Are you saying the Igbo only have similar words with the Yoruba? |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 6:57am On Oct 04, 2010 |
ezeagu: Earlier i gave an example of a shared word 'okwuta/okwute' that exists not only between Igbo, Yoruba and bini but across most of the southern cultures(urhobo, isoko, etc) and it means the same thing- stone. But there are shared words between Igbo and Yoruba that don't exist in bini, or any of the intermediary cultures between them. How come? |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by ezeagu(m): 6:33pm On Oct 04, 2010 |
excanny: In Igbo me is 'Muwa' In French me is 'moi' In Igbo land is 'Ala' In Tikar (of Cameroon) land is 'Ala' In Igbo group is 'otu' In Urhobo group is 'otu' Are the French and Igbo from one language? Not necessarily. Could one have influenced the other without necessarily influencing all the languages that are between them by geography? Yes. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 12:26am On Oct 05, 2010 |
ezeagu: I was expecting some explanation after you said 'Yes'. Could you enlighten us how this is possible? |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by ezeagu(m): 10:11am On Oct 05, 2010 |
excanny: Trade, war, relationships, diplomats. And we know that Edo people share a lot of words with Igbo people. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 11:42am On Oct 05, 2010 |
Ok. Let leave this argument until more evidences come out. Moreover, this is an inappropriate thread for this subject. We shall meet again. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by oludashmi(f): 11:52am On Oct 05, 2010 |
excanny: Pls those boldened words do not exist in Yoruba AT ALL. Probably it sounds like yoruba but the pronunciation is not and neither is the spelling. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by chyz(m): 12:06pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
oludashmi: He meant Okuta/Okwuta/Okwute.They are all similar/related and have the same meaning. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by oludashmi(f): 12:53pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
Okuta means stone. Even with that the language similarities with Igbo is 0.01%. If you say cultural and lang similarities with the Itsekiri and Edos, I agree. What does the remaining 2 words mean? 1 Like |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by chyz(m): 1:29pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
oludashmi: Maybe you're not reading the whole thing. All of those words mean stone. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 1:34pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
oludashmi: I appreciate your contributions. But i dont seem to get the 2 remaining words you asked about. Maybe, you will need to remind me. You can only understand best the line of this argument if you have a grasp of the two languages in question. @ chyz. Thanks |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by oludashmi(f): 2:57pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
excanny: Thanks I meant Okwuta/Okwute. These have no similarities with Yoruba in pronunciation but let me know their meanings. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 7:03pm On Oct 05, 2010 |
^^^ For their meaning, I've stated them in my previous posts and chyz also re-stated them. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by Musiwa13: 10:33am On Oct 07, 2010 |
The olukumi speak akoko in delta state . there are akoko people in Edo state too. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by AndreUweh(m): 12:22pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
This thread has no business with politics section. Why hasn't Mukina transfered it to the appropriate section or is it because it is not about Igbo. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by chyz(m): 12:31pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
Andre Uweh: BINGO! |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by AndreUweh(m): 12:48pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
chyz:Meaning |

@OP,i thought Illaje is In Delta state |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 3:23pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
Andre Uweh: You are right. If it had contained the word 'Igbo', even if it were a reasonable debate amongst the Igbo, it would have long been thrown into the tribalism section. This really disgusts me. Cant we discuss anymore? This mukina is just so biased. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by chyz(m): 5:49pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
Andre Uweh: Just meaning the only reason it was not moved at the time was because it wasn't about igbo. I was supporting your comment. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by ezeagu(m): 8:00pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
excanny: Create your own forum. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 9:47pm On Oct 07, 2010 |
ezeagu: That still wouldn't deal with the bias. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by ezeagu(m): 4:19pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
excanny: How? you have your own forum as in website and you can make sure not to biased no? You can discuss what you want, where you want, no? |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by excanny: 7:40pm On Oct 08, 2010 |
ezeagu: That is not the issue. Everybody goes up with some form of biased view or the other. I myself inclusive. But there are some certain things you do, like being a mod, a judge, etc, and you need to put your bias aside and be fair. You need to be open-minded in circumstances like that. This is what i'm telling mukina2 . Creating my own forum wouldn't be a solution to what i want. |
Re: The Majority Itsekiri,Ilaje,olukumi People Of Delta State, And Yoruba Words by Nobody: 6:33am On Oct 09, 2010 |
excanny: It gets thrown in Racism/ tribalism section because Igbo/Yoruba threads often turn into tribal fights. And Muki is not Nigerian, so what is there to be biased about? |
