In Jamaica today a slang for fair skinned people is "Ebo". This dates back to the slave era where Igbos were more likely to be light skinned 14 Likes |

tobtap: Obeah is an Igbo word, Obia, it means sciences. "Obeah (sometimes spelled Obi, Obea, or Obia),[1] is a term used in the West Indies to refer to folk magic, sorcery, and religious practices developed among West African slaves, specifically of Igbo origin." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obeah Okra is an Igbo word, which means that Igbo speakers were probably most identified with it, besides that, the question was about linguistic evidence and okra is just one word along with Eboe Drum, Red bone, and so on. "The origin of the word junkanoo is rather obscure. Douglas Chambers, professor of African studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, suggests a possible Igbo origin from the Igbo yam deity Njoku Ji referencing festivities in time for the new yam festival. Chambers also suggests a link with the Igbo okonko masking tradition of southern Igboland which feature horned maskers and other masked characters in similar style to jonkonnu masks. Many of the colonies Jonkonnu was prominent, Bahamas, Jamaica, Virginia, had a relatively high percentage of Igbo people among the enslaved African population. Similarities with the Yoruba Egungun festivals have also been made." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junkanoo 15 Likes |

GodMode: Maybe the appropriate question to ask yourself is: Why did we ALLOW them to do all these "bad" things to us? Are we so weak or rather mentally LAZY ![]() ![]() Meanwhile I hope you realise that all you wrote in past tense is still valid in the PRESENT tense- just look around you, almost ALL that you use, wear & even eat is from the TECHNOLOGY developed, improved and maintained by other races apart from black people. That should worry any THINKING African, not so ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |
