Lol, these praise names were recently made up by Yoruba bloggers? The same praise names that you can find on all the Edo/Bini revisionist sites? I could say you should go for more education, but then you're in dire want of a mental check up instead

The red cap is the same as ours but that cloth is a general cloth among majority of central southern Nigeria. Those people are not Igbo.
Just go to google earth with that name and see where they are located. We don't share any border with them and their location in northern Edo is replete with many different languages. I've been listening to their highlife music and I must say that they make good music. Very similar to ours. If they are in anyway related to us I would have indicated it here.


The cloth may be general. May. But the cap, beads and the yam festival...hmm.

Your kings have Yoruba praise names some of which were collected by R. E. Dennet 115 years ago from Benin.

Your screenshot is an opinion of a certain Ryder from the year 1965.

Guess what has happened between 1965 and 2021 in the field of historical scholarship of African history.

The field of historical scholarship of African history has unanimously debunked that opinion from Ryder.

See for example:

A. Akinjogbin (1967), F. Willett (1973), R. C. C. Law (1973), R. Horton (1979), A. Obayemi (1980), R. Smith (1988), B. Adediran (1991), D. Bondarenko (2003), S. A. Akintoye (2010), A. Ogundiran (2020), et al.

Did you ever see the 4-walls of a school to have known the meaning of the word “pronunciation” which clearly written on your own screenshot which I have highlighted below?? I doubt. cheesy

Also:
“Yoruba” (the native pronunciation by the owners of the name); “Yaruba”/“Yarba”/“Yarriba” (Arab & Hausa pronunciation); or “Yourriba” (an early European’s pronunciation) — none of these pronunciation means anything in Hausa language or Fulfude, contrary to popular insinuations. Ask your Northern friend if you have one.

Instead, the name “Yoruba” (or any of its variant pronunciations by foreigners) is said, by R. F. Burton, to have a well-known etymology among the Yorubas

Richard F. Burton is a European explorer who visited Yorubaland in the 1800s and found that this word is well-known to have derived from the Yoruba phrase “Ori Obba” — the “Head King” ~ R.F. Burton (1863), p.229.

I should also add contrary to social media insinuation among lay people, the name “Yoruba” is not recent (100+ years, or +200 years old) as is being popularly but falsely peddled.

It has been our endonym since prior to the 1600s — that is, since the 1500s (if not earlier).

The evidence for this fact lies in an essay which was written in the early-1600s by a Songhai writer by the name Ahmad Baba.

Baba was writing an essay in reply to an inquiry from a Moroccan. In the course of his writing, Baba listed some ethnic groups of W-Africa among which Islam is not known [or pronounced].

One of the ten ethnic groups which he listed was the Yoruba group. And his writing was not a wiring about christening previously nameless people.

He was referring to well-known pre-existent names. This is super clear from how his listing was worded:

… the group called Mossi, or Gurma, or Busa, or Borgu, or Dagomba, or Kotokoli, or Yoruba, or Tombo, or Bobo, or K.rmu …


This manuscript which was written by Ahmed Baba in 1615 is embedded below.

The name Yoruba is shown in red highlight (among the other ethnic groups) as can be seen in the original manuscript as well as in the translation embedded below respectively:

www.nairaland.com/attachments/12934148_5117c6d550154217817d7c66b5fa0fe6_jpeg_jpeg2a73d5172c14cf7a7da91ff200688e3e

This translation was prepared by John Hunwick and Fatima Harrak for The Institute of African Studies Rabat, Morocco

I should add that we know that this manuscript was written by Ahmad Baba in the year 1615 because he himself penned this information name and highlighted (in the embedded verso) below:

www.nairaland.com/attachments/13082305_6e49d8d129844a578af9272699e1586a_jpeg_jpeg2d5891d724a6428e2c0f4e6898bd60cc

The highlight here literally shows the wording “(the year) one thousand and twenty four (of the Hijrah)”.

When converted from this Hijri “AH” calendar into our Gregorian “AD” calendar; the year 1024 AH falls into the year 1615 AD

The formula “D = 0.9692*H + 622” proves practically useful for this conversion.

This proves yet again that this is a name that we’ve been using since the pre-1600s — i.e. in the 1500s (if not earlier).

You must be crazy... For you to think Nigeria is for you[/s]
Dullard, whether I (or my brother) think the word “Yoruba” comes from the phrase “Oyo is the king” — that’s our personal view in the 20th/21st century.

However, what our forefather say w.r.t. the etymology of the word “Yoruba” is that it comes from the phrase “Ori Obba” — the “Head King”. And this was recorded in writing in the mid 1800s.

Moreover, no where did Ajayi Crowther say the word “Yoruba” derive from “Yarba”/“Yarriba”. He simply said this is how the Hausa people pronounce it in their own attempt.

The key-word here is pronounce it. Enrol in a primary school if you actually need to know what the word “pronounce” means.

Some Yorubas till date pronounce “Ìgbò” as “Yi.bo” — that is their best attempt, not that they gave the Ìgbòs their name.

Lastly, the word “Yoruba” (or any of its non-native pronunciation) has no meaning whatsoever in any Northern language.

Crap from your butthole. Push it back in. cheesy

Did you ever see the 4-walls of a school to have known the meaning of the word “pronunciation” which clearly written on your own screenshot which I have highlighted below?? I doubt. cheesy

Also:
“Yoruba” (the native pronunciation by the owners of the name); “Yaruba”/“Yarba”/“Yarriba” (Arab & Hausa pronunciation); or “Yourriba” (an early European’s pronunciation) — none of these pronunciation means anything in Hausa language or Fulfude, contrary to popular insinuations. Ask your Northern friend if you have one.

Instead, the name “Yoruba” (or any of its variant pronunciations by foreigners) is said, by R. F. Burton, to have a well-known etymology among the Yorubas

Richard F. Burton is a European explorer who visited Yorubaland in the 1800s and found that this word is well-known to have derived from the Yoruba phrase “Ori Obba” — the “Head King” ~ R.F. Burton (1863), p.229.

TAO11:
I should also add contrary to social media insinuation among lay people, the name “Yoruba” is not recent (100+ years, or +200 years old) as is being popularly but falsely peddled.

It has been our endonym since prior to the 1600s — that is, since the 1500s (if not earlier).

The evidence for this fact lies in an essay which was written in the early-1600s by a Songhai writer by the name Ahmad Baba.

Baba was writing an essay in reply to an inquiry from a Moroccan. In the course of his writing, Baba listed some ethnic groups of W-Africa among which Islam is not known [or pronounced].

One of the ten ethnic groups which he listed was the Yoruba group. And his writing was not a wiring about christening previously nameless people.

He was referring to well-known pre-existent names. This is super clear from how his listing was worded:

… the group called Mossi, or Gurma, or Busa, or Borgu, or Dagomba, or Kotokoli, or Yoruba, or Tombo, or Bobo, or K.rmu …


This manuscript which was written by Ahmed Baba in 1615 is embedded below.

The name Yoruba is shown in red highlight (among the other ethnic groups) as can be seen in the original manuscript as well as in the translation embedded below respectively:

This translation was prepared by John Hunwick and Fatima Harrak for The Institute of African Studies Rabat, Morocco

I should add that we know that this manuscript was written by Ahmad Baba in the year 1615 because he himself penned this information name and highlighted (in the embedded verso) below:

The highlight here literally shows the wording “(the year) one thousand and twenty four (of the Hijrah)”.

When converted from this Hijri “AH” calendar into our Gregorian “AD” calendar; the year 1024 AH falls into the year 1615 AD

The formula “D = 0.9692*H + 622” proves practically useful for this conversion.

This proves yet again that this is a name that we’ve been using since the pre-1600s — i.e. in the 1500s (if not earlier).

Cheers!

Gregyboy, if I came to this life a second time; I would still choose you as my slave. grin

See as they resemble Igbo people and even call it "Esi" like Igbos. Whoever divided Igbo people, it will never be well with these people.

Na Biafrans all the way to isan to igodomigodo, they will come home very soon. Britain and Fulani caliphates do Igbos 30
