Knowing what you just said you should have taken the correction you were given without bitterness. I mean we really would not be here talking if you actually live by what you preach.

Didnt take it with bitterness, I added 'ni', when I talked about the step-father ish, you replied harshly, so I had to make you see that you were making the same errors you were calling me out for, I don't do e-enemies, life is too short.

Cool to hear.

we Ekiti are so large that I have never heard of Omuo-Ekiti
Pls tell me a little about it? Have u ever been there?
Yes every unpopular Yoruboid language u hear always has its own twist..that's the beautiful thing

Ok. There is omuo-oke and omuo- isale. Mum is from omuo -oke. Its pronounced omoke.... but they usually dont distinguish themselves because they had one oba. but my mum's side has been agitating for their own oba and fayemi granted their wish last year. So both towns have their own obas. Omo is close to ikole and ayedun..My mum's town is very close to kogi. Its a boundary town between ekiti and kogi. From there u get to iyamoye down to kabba kogi state. Omuo is a every peaceful place. In my mum's town, there is a professor in almost every family or a teacher. All those very brilliant olden days teachers. My parents were there may this year and there has been a lot of improvements from the last time I went. Some years back.

So sorry, someone overtook you eight years ago. Moo or moa or mo, abeg how do you spell that agenebode greeting that sounds like the noise of a cow, before soulglo would come and mark my post zero over hundred.

egbaguy: dad is russian and mum is american

How come about this your username. Hope u arent that chinese guy on babatunde diaries.

All my grandparents were from the same town (i.e, Awka). Just different quarters. Friends often make jokes about me being the product of a series of incestuous relationships. My paternal great-grandfather, though, was a travelling blacksmith based in Igalaland for much of his active life, and he married my paternal great-grandmother from an Igala village called Ejure. So I guess I have a little Igala in me. Just a little.

PAGAN9JA:
I detest mixed-marriages.

Marriages between close groups is ok though. (e.g., Urhobo-Esan, Bini-Yoruba, Igbo-Ekpe, Marghi-Bura, etc.)

Mixed Marriages destroy tribes and cultures.

What's the sense in what u spewed above

omuo is a well known town in ekiti.

Yes oh.

Is that Fugar or is it a totally different LGA now. I have not kept up. I try to write in Etsako. I try When I text my dad in Etsako and he texts back I just respect myself and switch back to English

SirShymex:

Lmao @ Owo and Ondo...that's Missy89 the half-Ondo and half-Bini stone-cold-steve-austin.

I think the poster Pstylish first alluded to it, then I asked my dad...and later read more about it on Google Scholar. That's why the Oniru throne is Ijebu. I think the Elegusi crown started as Bini or something, but it later became an Ijebu-Remo crown. Then Ikorodu is also Ijebu-Remo(more Remo though). Also, I believe the Awujale founded Lekki when he gave it to Dutch explorers as far back as the 16th or 17th century. Epe was the major trading coast then. Too much to talk about - I don't want to derail the thread.

Anyway, is that why Ekiti chics have ridiculous bodies?

have u heard the numerous songs about the sexual prowess of Ekiti women?
and how our mothers are best at cooking

its usually calabars who boast of being best at cooking.,

that's not a yoruba thing.

yoruba women are expected to know how to cook, its not about them saying they can cook because nobody will ask them to begin with, if they can.

are you sure you're yoruba?

same goes for intimate prowess, no yoruba woman boasts of that.

egbaguy: dad is russian and mum is american

do you mean nigerian russian and nigerian american.

Well I don't know which tribe boast the most when it comes to cooking but I have witnessed igbo's, yoruba's, Edo's boast about their cooking and you know what, after eating their foods it wasn't as clear cut. I have tasted Nigerian food from Nigerian restaurants in the states and caterers who are yoruba, igbo, calabar, Edo, Hausa and some of them had good food and some were just ok, and surprisingly it was a split among the tribes.

Algerian black n nigerian - wonderful mix!

that's strange!

regardless where you're speaking of, your language and description is not a yoruba thing and not lingo used by women raised in the southwest.

yorubas do not say they're "the best at cooking".

they're simply expected to know how to cook, nobody will ask if the woman can cook well or not, you will simply be expected to serve up a dish that's palatable.

saying "yoruba women are the best at cooking" sounds foreign.


even here on nairaland, when it comes to cooking, yoruba women dont generally say much, they simply present the dish they have without fanfare.

its a cultural thing and same I've witnessed outside of nairaland.

by the time you boast "you're the best at cooking", before you know it, it's another thing.

you're free to disagree though, macof is perhaps unaware of these, assuming he's yoruba.

is it?

What's your question? I no understand ooo!
