The Psycho is back, who invited her again? It's great to catch up with the thread. I been have working on some wicked assignments from the HQ. A month ago, Aare created this beautiful thread and I Zimoni Olorinla was the first person that commented. This is the Best Thread In the History of NL. I shall be posting about agricultural potentials in Yorubaland when I'm done with my assignments. Most of the food we eat are from the North and oversea. It shouldn't be so. |

Shymm3x: I totally share you sentiment especially on the bolded portion of you write up . . . . I want to believe the average 21st century yoruba man/woman under a regional system of government would not be stuck up on say am Ijebu or Ijesha or am Awori and all those fault lines that kinda marred our last regional voyage . . . . the present day Yoruba man\woman i believe has gone past such, having experienced serious inward integration even within the region via religious tolerance, education, work or intermarriages and above all friendship within the different subsets of our ethnic configuration. A good modern day example would be the present APC gladiators, by and large they have being able to maintain a very private/public cordial relationship/brotherhood bar those recalcitrant duo in Ondo/Ekiti but even at that, no one is going to town screaming the Aworis or Epes are lording it over the rest of the clan. Mind you thru out history, countries that speak one united language tend to do superbly well cos of their shared heritage, culture and what have you. The present day Nigeria as constituted reminds me of when the children of men were building the Tower of Babel, as long as they spoke one language they were gonna go on and build the first ta Burj Khalifa (tallest building) but as soon as they were afflicted with the plague of multi language . . . . . things went haywire. In as much as there are different dialects or derivatives of the Yoruba language am nearly sure if we go the regional way, we will be just fine. Fair enough we will experience some teething probs initially but our shared culture, exposure, language and brotherhood will work for us, after all said we are all in it to make our society/region a much better and prosperous one. |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Ilaje44(m): 7:24pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Shymm3x: That one is very easy. Lion = Kiniun Gorilla = Inaki (inoki). It's called ELEGBEDE in other Yoruba dialects e.g. Ilaje |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Ilaje44(m): 7:33pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
naijababe: His dictionary is not completely correct. I mean I also learnt Ekun is tiger while I went to school, however, it's very incorrect as we never had tigers in Africa. Ekun is definitely the leopard, and amotekun being the cheetah. In the history of the town of Akure, there is a tale of a titled man who caught a life "ekun". And it was a leopard that he caught. Ikoko is hyeana! |
Re: Yoruba Commonwealth and Politics by Nobody: 7:38pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Ilaje44: Since I don't have link, I have to leave matter o. A distant uncle now deceased a hunter, taught me animal names sometimes with rhymes. Surprised to see Ikoko being called any other animal other than hyena |

Aareonakakanfo: Loool. I saw his posts this morning. He ran away after I trolled and smacked him with the bitter truth yesterday morning. Those folks know who they can lie to. It's the internet age and information everywhere on the planet is easily accessible. |

naijababe: You are correct about the hyena!! @shy3mmx , You were showing a pix of an abok1 playing with an hyena & wondering if he is unhinged.. I don't know if the animal has been bewtched or tamed but they are docile & don't react.. They are fixtures in northern Nigeria, seen them on several occassions... |
