TAO11:Yes, you mentioned 40,000 years. Simple as ABC. This is my bone of contention |

TAO11:I can see how bittered you are. Afterall, you have used negative vulgar names on me but I focus often on fact giving and not names. Infact, the often vulgar word I have ever used on you were three: Liar ignorant,olodo. Unlike you that's not a sportman who behaves like Jose Mourinho; winning by all means, possible As you can vividly see, you have failed in the area you had in mind, which is to rubbish my identity. And one wonders if you can actually rubbish me ? Indeed you are a joke. You see no amount of lies can change this words of yours TAO11, 'First of all archeologcal evidence dates the evidence of human groups in the Middle Niger valley( i.e in area known as 'Nigeria') to c.40,000 years ago. . Instead, to accept this error, you kept denting your profile. In reality, no man is an epitome of knowledge, especially someone like me who works tirelessly to garner information on what I am doing. But your bad attitude towards renowned scholars work, and unresearched work you claim make the problem you have at this moment. If I give out 10% of what is in my care, it will definitely wow you. But keeping my calmness and reading people's view delight me even if I choose not to condemn any one but slightly often posit my own view, which is tilted towards Information I have, despite the fact I don't post the references often. My dear, you can get your grip on some of the following : References Abímbọ́lá 1969 Wánde Abímbọ́lá. Ìjìnlẹ̀ Ohùn Ẹnu Ifa—Ápá Kejì: Àwọn Ifá ?láńlá. Glasgow: William Collins. Abímbọ́lá 1976 ______.

Awo Falokun Fabunmi, Ela:Ifa concept of Altered States (The metaphysical foundation of IFA) (vol 5) From above books, you can actually read,more books on IFAODu,which actually posits definition of Ela from Ifaodu concept and not mine,which make cogent affirmation on beliefs in Islam and Christianity,which are also found in Ifaodu. On a light mode, you have provided great informations with references, on many of the different threads cum topics, with tangible references, which cannot be taken away from your researches. Kudos on that aspect. 1 Like |

Olu317: I have always maintained that your biggest problem is the fact that you have no clue about whatever you read. You only read to come to nairaland and dump shi* here. The àmì fàágùn ~ is no longer in use with Yorùbá writting but you foolishly ignored that fact just to suit your preconceived ideology. No need to thank me for this little piece of information as you will still not be able to understand but would come back to strengthen your folly with another 19th century screenshot of dictionary. Oponu, if you have any sense you would have known that my diacritics are perfect remove the àmì ~from your smoke and see if it won't be written the way I write it. Olu, go and learn how to apply diacritics on Yorùbá words. Trying to muddle words up won't save you. You have still not explained how Dodoiwa=Duduiwa=Daoduiwa=Dauda/Daoud Anyway, I read your response to TAO11 and feel like asking you about your highest level of education. In all honesty, Olu did you graduate or dropped out of school? Because, if you did graduate then you must have learn about logic (logical reasoning) because your arguments here are riddled with fallacies. You ran away from the questions that Macof asked you on the Yorùbá Hebrew thread since 2018 Ah! Olu you're a proper werey 2 Likes |

Olu317: I don't know how to get information into your empty cranium. Your dictionary was published when? Olódo òsì, you read some archaic writeups and hold on to without regard for recent information yet you keep claiming intellectual on nairaland. You too dull o Who go deliver you from this delusion? � |

According to Yoruba's Ifaodu corpus, a part was said to state as thus in Odu Ogunda, which affirm, Yoruba's knowledge on world creation inline with religion. The verse says in the Creation myth: In Odu Ifa Osa Ogunda, part of a verse says, Irí tú wili tú wili lá fi dà ilé ayé lá bú da ilẹ́ which means, “Dews pouring lightly, pouring lightly, was used to create the earth world in order that goodness could come forth into existence at once.” |
