aribisala0:when I see an Igbo name I know one. In d olden days dey answer different names that are no longer used these days. Ola and Udah are two words dat has meaning in Igbo language and the combination is clearly an Igbo name. If you say he is Edo, then tell me d meaning In Benin or Ishan language. No Edo man can come out and claim that name, only Yoruba man like you would want to argue this till your last breath. I don't have time for all these your tribal superiority, I can't come and be teaching you Yoruba name like you guys always try to know it all probably bcuz uv heard of a few Igbo names or understand a little Igbo. 3 Likes |

ezeagu:There is no scholarship on him period so save us the hyperbole. It is really embarrassing to observe you folk in your desperation. The truth is that a fully grown man wrote a book about his obscure origins and no one will ever know what the truth is. What I do not believe is how anyone who is 11 years old brought up in a tribal setting as was precolonial Nigeria would forget his language. People were not literate but they learnt their lineages, and other tribal stories . I am not Igbo but I read Achebe's Things Fall Apart decades ago and still remember many of the proverbs and sayings. Any such kid would know his lineage and the founder of his clan at the age of 11 in precolonial Igbo land and most of southern Nigeria. Certainly he would remember the names of his father and mother? 1 Like |

giftq:is what they say. however those people were there before slavery. they are part of the landmass gondwanaland before it split. when it split the brazil part split from yoruba land. if you fit the south american tectonic plate with african it fits perfectly. point being those yorubas in brazil were not slaves but are just yorubas who were part of the land mass split and took the culture with them along to the other side after the split. you cant enslave a yoruba man . we are warriors. ![]() |
