Yoruba people, una fall my hand. How can you sit there and let one Igbo non grata mod rewrite your history. He even said "omo" and "Oba" arent Yoruba words. Seun see ya life. Is this really your agenda? 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Goodboiy: In fact, the latter part of that Urhobo sentence sounds a lot like Yoruba. That is, if orgor = in-law = ana (in Yoruba), then check this out: ana re nko? ![]() ![]() 14 Likes 2 Shares |

bigfrancis21:Yoruba and Benin are not that too different because most their words are inter-connected... I remember a family friend of mine they speak yoruba to the fullest and I can't even understand Edo... And Bini/Edo understand yoruba language because both Edo and Yoruba are both trade partners in the ancient days... And Yoruba and Edo have cultural ties... There's something Called "Awon Oba Alade Merindinlogun" which means the 16 crown kings.. That include Oba Bini,Olu of Warri.. And Others in Yorubaland... That why you can never see Yoruba,Edo,Itsekiri fighting or arguing.. Because they are so connected that I can't even explain there mutuality 16 Likes 3 Shares |

bigfrancis21:The op is right.Oba is a pure yoruba word.When a yoruba king says "mo je oba",mean I eat the king.This word is used because for a new king to ascend the throne in yoruba,it is customary that he must eat the heart of the late king as part of the initiation rite. So in conclusion,oba is a yoruba word 15 Likes |

Those words might not even be of Igbo or Yoruba origin but shared with them from the early times. We all once spoke a single language which deviated over time. 4 Likes |

[quote author=Goodboiy post=39757514]Hi peeps.. I haven't create any new thread recently due to some reasons best known To me, Although I still Remain your loyal boy "Goodboiyy" . Below are some Igbo and Yoruba word used in Urhobo language. 1. Biko : Biko is an Igbo word for "Please" And it means same in Urhobo, in Urhobo you usually hear word like "Oghene' biko keme' Igho" Meaning "God please Give me money". 2. Olori : Olori is a Yoruba Word for Head .. in Urhobo it means the same thing.. 3. Orgor' : Orgor' is an Igbo word for 'Inlaw'. It means the same thing in Urhobo.. for example I might say "Oniovo Orgor we' nkor " meaning 'brother how is Your Inlaw ". 4. Omo' : Omo'r is a Yoruba word for Child, It has same meaning in Urhobo.. I can make statement like " e' Freemanan Omo'r meh' … meaning "Freemanan is my Son" ![]() 5. Obara' : Obara is an Igbo word for blood.. It means Same In Urhobo.. Why The Igbo woman will shout "Obara Jesus" and Urhobo Woman will say "Oba'rah' Re' Jesu" 6. Jesu' : Jesu' is an Yoruba word for Jesus . its still the same in Urhobo 7. Ew'a : Ew'a is another Yoruba word for Beans and its thesame with Urhobo. Ew'a is pronounced in Urhobo exactly thesame with That of Yoruba 8. OBA : OBA is a Yoruba word for king , We still use it in Urhobo.. If we Want to Call God.. we say Oba' risi' meaning " King Of The Word" 9. Akpere : Is a Yoruba word for basket, it means the same Thing in Urhobo 10. Ego : Its an Igbo word for Money.. in Urhobo we say Igho .. I believe the word belongs to Igboid. 11. ejime : Its an Igbo word for Twins, Its spelt and Pronounced The same in Urhobo 12. Osusu : Is a Yoruba Word for Monthly savings. Its the same in Urhobo Pls don't derail the thread. THANKS [/quote Beans in Urhobo is ISHA not EWA, ask any true urhobo, man.. dig deep Urhobo has words which the new generation are not even aware of... |
