It came from Malian Muslims who learnt it from Muslim descendants of Phoenicians. It means Europa which initially meant west of Phoenicia and later came to mean a people that advanced without submitting to Allah or advanced thugs/infidels. That is my thesis. |

Even before Ahmed Baba, YoOba were known as MojiRoba, OmoOba, YiOba o, YioriOba, etc Too many lexicon about and around OBA to make others see or hear them as YORUBA. Only Americans use gonna gonna. Fulani did not name Yoruba, they repeated what they heard the same way as Ahmed Baba before they ever got in contact with Yoruba.

In a Yoruba country the name of the country will be rendered in the language like USA is rendered in English. Ijoba Apapo Ile Oduduwa IAIO is good just like the USA or Ijoba Apapo Iwo Oorun ile Afrika IAIOIA or something of that nature. Yoruba does not need to appear in the name nor does any English word |
