If your argument is that Yoruba never know about Egypt, that can be understood. You have an angle, everyone has. But the winning argument is the one that is verifiable, not the one that is dogmatic. I am not presenting a dogma, i am telling you the possibilities confined in Yoruba language.

no, i just want concrete evidence that's all.
i am a huge fan of history and like to get my facts correct before i take them as truth.
i don't want to claim the yoruba once had relationships with egyptians only to be slayed

I will never understand with obsession of blacks with Egypt

The rest of the world sees delusional people who never amounted to anything claiming people who would enslave them

*Kails*:

Because facts typically are believed across racial and socio economic lines

if you say so.

m0ron abegy,make me hear word.

black boy just get out,ok?? After all the first black slave was a horner from ethiopia... BILAL,IT WAS STATED IN THE QUR'AN,UR HOLY BOOK,HE WAS CALLED BLACK BY GOD AND HIS PROPHET

Adamskuty: m0ron abegy,make me hear word.

Horners are not black. And Horners are not obsessed stop bringing your slave point of view. Somalia allies with Arabs against Ethiopia since the days you were being shipped to America to pick cotton

Adamskuty: black boy just get out,ok?? After all the first black slave was a horner from ethiopia... BILAL,IT WAS STATED IN THE QUR'AN,UR HOLY BOOK,HE WAS CALLED BLACK BY GOD AND HIS PROPHET

What does Ethiopian have to do with Somalis. And Ethiopians sold the black Bantus to Arabs, no one enslaved Ethiopians as they had a kingdom that Arabs ran to when they were unsafe in Arabia. It was Ethiopians selling the black slaves, even in 1930's Ethiopians still had Bantu slaves.


Bilal is not a habesha name

Great development here.

Well, the fact that we say the blacks came from Egypt or that Yoruba came from Egypt has nothing to do with a longing quest to feel important or need borne out of someone's inferiority complex looking for (ancient) Egyptian collateral to historical relevance.

You do not have a pint of the dept of the wealth of Yoruba history if you do not have a grasp of the language. Looking outside is simply trying to see the source of the abundance that we have, not the abundance we lack.

How much did the white man pay to be a white man? how much did the black man pay to be a black man? So why is skin colour a collateral for history to anyone? the problem with race is borne out of inferiority or superiority complex, over what no one alive choose for themselves. what does it cost to be a white man or black?

If we put that aside, we might be able to appreciate history without sentiment that could heavily influence or create bias view of historical resource that language and other human or scientific evidence can provide us. the best is, a historical position is either true or false, it has nothing to do with races.

sexymoma: The word Africa was derived from Yoruba Language too which is ' Ah free Nu'ika'

better be joking!!!

it was a joke.

Today, the Yoruba language is being super imposed by English gradually. A while ago, Akoko was superimposed by Kemitic Egyptian of the Ptahhotep era and that is the Yoruba we speak today. When did that happen? I will say over 3000 years ago, maybe 4 because Yoruba dialects are said to be up to 2000 years apart while Igbo is 5000 years apart from Yoruba according to some paper I read. So let us just say the Egyptians came in large numbers enough to change our language. They must have formed 30 percent of total population. In thesame way Germanic peoples changed the language of the Celts of the British isles to English. Before the Egyptians our royal salutation was Saaaki same as what Nupes and Hausas use today. Then around 1500 years ago, a man from Mecca was made Olofin Aye in Ife as directed by the Ifa oracle. That is my own position, a bit different from the conclusion in the scholarly work below
