Procashtips: Similar names that were openly derided before the world as pseudo Yorubas. Just less than 12 months ago. Black Africans really need to de-emphasize on political pettiness. |

chopnaira: Igbo is of Igbo origin. That why you see names like Igbokwe, Igboebuka, Okadigbo, Igboeze, etc. It is unfornate yorubas cannot find the word yoruba in their original lexicons and names of people and town. |

Procashtips: Chopnaira should learn fact. The word 'yoruba' is less than 300 years old. Even my village is far older than that. |

Benwallt: I don't care what he was. We are talking culture here. You want to represent a cultural heritage, you decided to name it after someone with a slave name. Isn't that ironic and conflicting? He could still have been appreciated without using such an offensive name for a cultural heritage of a people claimed to be the second largest ethnic groups in Nigeria. |

Sctests: Unfortunately, "Oodua" as an identity is even more recent than the word "Yoruba" Less than 200 years ago, they all answered their father's names. Maybe this is why they rather stick to Yoruba identity given to them by outsiders than create an original identity like Oodua. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Procashtips:We answered our sub ethnic group e.g. Egba, ife, Oyo, Ekiti, Ijebu, Ijesha e.t.c but we knew we were all Omo ka ro ojire, olukunmi, Omoluabi, akuu people, Anago e.t.c. when it comes to unifying ourselves. Ibadan (a military fort with warriors from all parts of present day Yoruba land) is an example of such unity , before the kiriji war power tussle. 3 Likes |

Procashtips: Any stream that forgets his origin dries up. Slave name? Is slave not human being? Slaves get class. I believe you have English name. Does that make you a slave? In trying to rewrite the present we must not forget history. The story will be told better with that name 2 Likes |

chopnaira: Very good. The author used the phrase 'Might have its root..'. I am a PhD and I know that in scholarly works the word 'might' is conditional and show lack of authority, leaving a big lacuna for doubts on his submission. Since Igbo is far older than Igala as evidenced by Size, geolocation, and population. I daresay the word 'Onigbo' (if it ever existed) was borrowed from the Igbo, as that was what the Igbos called themselves. People will call you what you call yourself.. ![]() I am not very hopeful you will get the valid points, but this piece I have penned will be beneficial to other innocent readers that you tried to mislead. ![]() 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Sctests:That's the only origin they could trace the word back to. The dictionary was even more specific about the meaning of the word. Less than 200 years ago, Igbo Igbon Onigbo e.t.c basically means slave and was derived from the Igala word for that. You can dance around it as much as you like, It doesn't change any fact. 4 Likes |
