Yorubas Are Moors by Moorish: 7:10am On Aug 10, 2018 |
The evidence for my assertion is Yoruba Sokoto caliphate Kanem bornu All had large cavalries who researchers claim are from a singular source If you study the facial features of the moors you see yorubic and northern nigerian features The moors had a lot of horses as well Odduduwa came from the east Islam has been in Yoruba land since the 14th century We have a mosque that's the oldest in nigeria I believe If you look at noble drew ali you see strong yoruba features There are a group of Yoruba, emo yo quaim who claim to have been driven from Morocco The moors did settle in Morocco In fact moor=Morocco See the following pictures Any Yoruba who is comfortable with this information and would like to build a Moorish civilization with me.

Moorish:Facial look or tribal mark or body structure are not the determinant factor because of intermarriages but proof with either ethnography or linguistic connection; shared words even if the pronunciations are slightly different but must show same meaning ,while using philology.

So because Oduduwa May have been a Moor according to you, that is why you think all Yoruba are Moors? Does Oduduwa origin define the origin of all Yoruba’s? You do know that there are Eastern and Central Yoruba’s. What if he came from an Eastern Yoruba subgroup which is what another version of his origin explains. Instead of Morocco like you claim. Please don’t water the Yoruba culture or origin with unproven history. We don’t have to be from a foreign land to be Yoruba. 6 Likes 1 Share |

I cannot speak for all yorubas I can only speak for myself My mum told me her grandfather rode a horse during pilgrimage to Mecca, hajj, from Ibadan Her maiden name is Sanni, clearly an Afro asiatic name My own family name is Ajala A non Yoruba name with no meaning in Yoruba But natural structures and monuments in Sudan and Saudi Arabia and Egypt bear the names “Ajala” Even the Quran has “Ajala” in it I cannot speak for the rest of you I know and am proud of my deep links to the east 2 Likes 1 Share |

baby124:Moorish history is more glorious than any sub-Saharan African history So it’s the opposite of a water down Even oral historical corpus of yorubas assert an eastern origin for yorubas, specifically the region of Mecca There is a reason for that Can u explain our possession of a large cavalry ? |
Re: Yorubas Are Moors by Nobody: 7:51pm On Aug 10, 2018 |
Moorish:No it wasn’t. Aksumite and Zagwe probably exceeded it. Modified: Moors civilization wasn’t located in sub-Sahara and majority Moors weren’t dark skinned. |

Hati13: Moor : a member of a NW African Muslim people of mixed Berber and Arab descent. In the 8th century they conquered the Iberian peninsula, but were finally driven out of their last stronghold in Granada at the end of the 15th century. The moors were mostly Berber and Arab.. so dark blacks, light skinned blacks and Arabs Some Berber tribes include the tauregs, and these are dark skinned Africans Aksum and zagwe did not invent modern musical instruments or algebra so you are completely wrong once again 1 Like |

Sinistami:The problem with you is you consider ancient African history as useless, I don't, it is an archive of artistic, textile, architectural resources that can re invent African civilization People like you are low lifers.

Do You actually believe life actually started at Ile ife. because in Ijaw Folk lore too it was mentioned Otu-Ife along with Oduduwa although as Adumu and other Yoruba figures too. sorry if Iam asking a lot of Question because I came to this thread to learn more than to actually add. |

Re: Yorubas Are Moors by Olu317(m): 10:25pm On Aug 10, 2018 |
Moorish:My take on this thread is a bit complex because you are right to a large extent. Let clearly say this that it was around 17th century that some Caucasians begun to differentiate people, with classification, because in ancient world powers such as Egypt, Roma,Greek, etc people were dealt with based on status and not colour. The moors were of different look and some in the same manner the Arabs and Egyptians too. I have read Journal written by a muslim cleric called Ilori about shared words between Yoruba and Arabs. The reality is that the people that set up Ébì ystem were the crème de la crème in the ancient times that modified Yoruba ways of life. And these people were advanced in tevhnological know how,which made them unique in West Africa because they were migrants and the knowledge they came with was unique. The calvary you mentioned was accurate.They were rich people. Funny enough the word Ébì' is of Hebrew origin. My take on this thread is that the following were the ancestors of Yorubas: Arabs,Moors,Nubians, Ethiopians,Hebrews. The reasons are these: 1. Arabs words are scantly found in Yoruba language.Apart from this,some Yoruba have link with Arabs ancestry. For example, Ilorin. 2.Moors ,patterns of irrigation or water system,temple ,arrows etc were found in Yoruba land. 3.Nubians are also found in little percentage of Bantoid group. Mostly captured men as servants and slaves.While females were married. 4.Ethiopians ancient way of circumcission of both male and female gender in many Yoruba towns were common in many with the exception of Ijebu and some others 5.Hebrews are the largest group among these Yoruba people with high concentration of linguistic connection. .Even with high rate of twin birth which was an ancient identity of the ancient Hebrews. 1 Like |
