Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by absoluteSuccess: 11:39am On Apr 27, 2018 |
We are familiar with the story of Elijah in the Hebrew scripture. There seems to be a Yoruba perspective to it: Aja. The name Ajagbe may be a repository of history that seek to immortalize the memorial of Elijah in anal of Yoruba liturgy. All that is left of that is a foggy tradition that we may still remember to some extent. In one of Yoruba's storytelling, its often said that when there is whirlwind, someone can be taken away, and so, no one must get close to an active whirlwind. It is often said that whirlwind may take one away and when one comes back, one becomes very powerful. The regular whirlwind is 'iji' in Yoruba, while 'Aja' is the one that takes one away that one may return and be very powerful. I want to think the belief is well rooted among ancient Yoruba, hence the name Ajagbe was coined to mean "taken away by whirlwind". In fact, while throwing water on the whirlwind, the Yoruba often shout thief!! to break the whirlwind before it damages or takes anyone away. Aja is akin to Jah in Elijah, meaning 'El is Jah'. Aja is Yoruba for somewhere in the sky where one goes to become powerful. Well you wont find Elijah in Yoruba tradition, but you will find a gist or a hint that shows that a man can be taken away by whirlwind unto the sky is tenable in Yoruba tradition, then you can bring the integrals closer to see how the story goes. who learnt from who? Elijah's ascention is 'Ajagbe' to the ancient Yorubas, although they lost the records, but they kept the foggy idea till date. Erimoje ni mi, Omo Sa Aja... 12 Likes 3 Shares |

The last time I made this post, one information that has long eluded me became clearer to some extent, it is likely the bonus for sharing this. The folksong says: benikan rimi nao won ma sirimi padao, erimoje nimi, omo sa ajao. If anyone sees me now they will see me again. I am erinmoje, Son of Sa-Aja. In Surat Nasr, we hear the arabic word 'isaaja' meaning, "comes". Another place to look is also the statement of Christ to his followers: "sometimes you will see me, sometimes, you wont see me again" That has certain bearing with the folk song above, and may be a product of this same knowledge as the bible verse. Going by whirlwind is a temporary disappearance, at which the individual return much powerful, and likewise, Jesus was taken to heaven to return as a powerful ruler. This agrees with the notion enshrined in Yoruba tradition: and then we must also take cognizance of the variant use of the term aja as found in peoples names: ajadi iko ajala ajao ajani ajasa ajayi The last entry, ajayi is one of the names that the Yoruba brought from her cradle homeland, hence it is designated as "oruko amu-to'run-wa"; that is "names that came with the founding fathers". Thus, Aja is a word shrouded in mystery and may be conncted to Ajalorun. Aja may be a short for Ajalorun. 3 Likes 1 Share |

If you have problem with seeing from people's opinion who have been researching the claims by some western scholars in the past,then pick interest in reading ancient Hebrew's history. So that you will have evidence to counter some of us that have dug deeper than you people.

RedboneSmith: Its all good here brov. I'm not too keen about ogbori as a name of a person in Yorubaland other than as you have it in the cognomen "Ogbori-Elemosho" the historic generalisimo of the Ogbomosho people. But going by the meaning of the word, it originally means "o-gbo-ri", one who slay or behead his adversary. Later Yoruba also have this for the word "big", literally meaning, "it lifts the head". Its an alternative for "o to bi" or "o ni nla". Ogbori Elemosho is a founding tradition of the Ogbomosho. Soun Ogunlola accidentally murdered an Ijesha man, and he was summoned to the Alaafin for the crime. He asked that he be made to fight an invincible killer, Elemosho who was terrorizing the Oyo to pay for his crime. Soun slayed Elemosho in the tradition, so he is called Ogbori Elemosho. To be honest I'm not too familiar with Itshekiri's culture. I will learn as much as I can and would like to compare deep-rooted-words, to see how they point us to histories or traditions that elude us. 4 Likes 1 Share |

absoluteSuccess: Wisdom, intelligence and knowledge are not strangers, they are all part of the same deal. It is impossible for an intelligent man to lack wisdom and knowledge. Indeed intelligence is the physical manifestation of both those qualities (wisdom and knowledge) and the more intelligent a man is, the better he is at applying wisdom and knowledge to the difficult task of navigating his way through life. You may wallow in self pity for as much as you want, but no honest person will ever accept plagiarism and reinvention as signs of true intelligence in much the same way as a clever conman will never be regarded as a genius. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Clearly, it will be hard for a lot of people to discern. Intelligent is simply being ‘bright' and wisdom is proper application of being bright(being able to distinquished the wise from unwise) Technically, they are different because one can be intelligent and still don't use it correctly.

Re: Yoruba Hebrew Heritage by absoluteSuccess: 6:08pm On Aug 19, 2018 |
HajimeSaito: Save your sermon, this is not useful here, we are talking about linguistics and comparative study of two variant cultures that some of us considered to have common origin. Simply put, we (myself, Olu, metaphysical, and then lately, Rosikki). We all agree the Yoruba migrated from the Levant region, each with a different perspective of this. Nobody stops you from having perfect opposite opinion of this, if it is what you hold to be truth. Then proof your opinion beyond reasonable doubt if needs be. But thinking that no one has right to belief a thing or two about Yoruba migration story, or their right of divergent opinion, to employ their intellect, written or oral sources or hebrew scriptures or Egypt's hieroglyphs to prove their point is thinking yourself to be something when you are nobody.
I don't know if you are intelligent: you don't seems to understand 'plagiarism'. Please, check your dictionary and try to understand its meaning and how it applies in literary view: except its your way of discrediting me. Also, I think you need to be wise, "re-search" is to "review old history in new light", it is a re-invention or renewal of old stories, it is dusting the old, disused tales and re-validating them in contemporary writing style. You sees yourself as one of the 'honest person' here because to you, I am like a conman. But the point is, you don't have the faculty to comprehend this type of write-up, and you are too proud to learn new things, yet your knowledge is not very broad. You fail to mention 'genuine' because you have no value for it yourself. That's what makes you assume the omniscience without benefits of doubt. See, you need to know that its either a man is intelligent or clever. It is your 'achievements' that will eventually prove if you are a genius or just clever, while your 'ulterior motives' will expose you if you are genuine or just a conman. On the other hand, a clever man is a 'resourceful man', and an intelligent man is supposed to be a 'more resourceful man'. A conman is of dubious character with deceptive intents. I care less what you think of me, but wisdom is practical. See it this way: Clever man = effective man intelligent man = efficient man Genius = clever+intelligent (effective+efficient man). Genuine = purpose (passion) driven. Conman = deceiver, con artist. Only a less intelligent person will dub a more intelligent person a deceiver if he no longer knows how to find his way through the maze of pristine or complex findings. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

'blackman-blackmind'. Always playing the race card to a fault. I'm black, I don't make anything out of it, it never stops me from shining ever so bright and rocking my generation, it never shall stop me from teaching the world what is never known to her. I'm not into "I'm black and proud", its 'inferiority complex' lingo. I am to shine as black. 'I'm black and so be it'. It is not my strength nor my weakness. It never stop me from shining as a star, its a opportunity to excel at a course, to shine where few people dare to shine out of fear of the unknown. The world is not about whiteness/blackness all the time. There is no black race, white race, pink race and so on and so forth, from the onset. Its all 'human race'. All mankind shares common experience and inter-connectivity from the onset of time. But people fixed in 'the racist bloc' cannot come out of the bloc or shall ever think out of the box, its a fixed context. Race-mongers are often racists and hatists in their own race itself, and self-conscious individuals who does not want to mix with anyone in the first place. This becomes a worldview in them, they are only comfortable in their skin. To this folks, the race surpass everything humanity have in common. The class struggle dialectics is all they want to see or hear about, arguments like 'black is better than white', 'white populate the world', 'black phenotype is the origin of man' and so on. People fixed in this box are waiting earnestly for where and when the next stunning scientific discovery that will stupefy their opponent will come from, meaning, they are not making ingenious mental progress of their own, they are waiting for one 'expert' with magic wand to 'fix it' and supply 'the missing link'. So, you earn their wrath if you are not race conscious. The world was not started by any race, but one race or the other will dominate at one time or the other. One race will eventually dominate the other in the natural course of things, except war and instrument of warfare goes out of fashion. It was once Egypt (Africa), it flow to Medo-Persia (Asia) and To Macedonia (Europe) and now in the new world (America). What you can change is a problem, but what you can't change is a fact of life. Learn to live with the fact of life and stop acting up. Scientists didn't create the world but scientists came and did their studies of nature. Linguists did not create language, but they did their studies on it. Historians did not invent history, they are students of history. There shall be no holds barred, all men shall be free to study any aspect of peculiar interest to them. When men tell you that you do not have the qualification to make conclusions, they are projecting their innate weakness or excuses for lack of perception to you. Nature did not wait for linguists to teach you how to speak and use your cognitive ability. If the Wright brothers were to wait for what the experts have to say, the Aeroplane wont have been flying in the sky. The experts are specialists, you are a generic user in their area of specialty, you are not a dummy. Nothing stops you from being smarter than specialists given the tools and expertise borne out experience. Specialists will always consult men of experience from all walks of life and generic orientation. Have you seen a man diligent in his works?

OlaoChi:Do you see something is wrong with such claims? Thank God you acknowledge my capacity for long epistle: I can produce volumes of incredible works on a given topic in my field of experience, but how about you and scanty points? You will ever wait unto people to learn and have nothing tangible to offer once no one produce any masterpiece in the academia for you.
Not at all, a diligent man is supposed to share his findings with kings, not mean men. I'm a christian, and the bible says, 'Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. Since you have been hunting for claims trailing me, had I ever earn one good compliment from you? I'm not good enough for you because there is no good in you to offer anyone than mudfight. Only swines does that. As to the Proverbs quote, quite nice but you are not deligent in your work, if you were we would know your contribution to the world of knowledge but unfortunately nairaland is where it all comes to rest No, as early as 2007, I've been writing and self-publishing books in my 20s. My first book was produced 2007 and my second title was on Yoruba, 'Yorubas Glorious Secrets' (2009). But I only discover as a young writer in a country of people who do not really fancy reading that much, I must create alternative source to survive. I'd want to survive as an author or publisher. At a spot in Ikeja in 2007 I was selling my book and a man made a comment, 'aa saa jeun' meaning, 'we must eat' I felt terribly bad to think that all I'm doing was reduced to a mussel of bread by a stranger. There are people whose utmost idea of whatever you might be doing is trash, they have no excellence in them, so they can't see how what you are doing is of any excellence. Out there, they think you are doing it for piecemeal, here they think you don't have the right to do this or do that: it is left to you to choose if your passion is their passion or their passion is your passion. Albeit, their passion is to stop you from actualizing what you have passion for. When you quit, you actualize their passion, they succeeded in making you quit. Well, don't give up. But to late Prof. Akinwunmi Ishola, he said he has been reading Yoruba history in the past but none has been written in my style. I said sir, is it a good work? and he said, 'yes, very well'. He has excellence, so your aspiration to something excellent cannot be a threat to him. Well, that's not an achievement to me, it simply means I have a unique contribution to make to the body corpus of knowledge.
The word hebrew transliterate to iberu, or Eberu in Yoruba: If you have a sense of history, I'll remind you of Ojo-'beru, its the name of an icon in Yoruba that may be an hebrew. He is so called because he is fearless. Hebrew means eberu and its the word for courageous or fearlessness in Yoruba. iberu is the dread, and the dread is on you.
If you have a product and you don't know your target audience, that product has already failed. Never mind, you have no product, so you have nothing to lose. Plato started the academia and wrote the republic and other works, his students became philosophers and today philosophy is a branch of knowledge in the university. Plato was originally a student of Socrates. Both were not products of any university. When you have valid knowledge or contributions that can add value or new insight to human development in any sphere of life, patent it and keep the copyright. The University will come to learn from you. That's how its suppose to be. But if you have no clue as to why you are here, the University will teach you what you can do to add meaningful contributions to further human development. When you produce a good work, launch it, and your readers will become great teachers and recommend your contributions to the ministry of education, and you might be awarded a doctorate degree, honorary caucus. I'm joking, work and improve on your job, many have no content but context, but only few have both content and context. When you do, create a platform to embrace your idea and the academia may take note of your contribution if need be. You are serving humanity, not the academy. Take away is, there are people that goes to the university, and there are people that the university goes to, hence the university is a school to fan the embers of knowledge in custody of man, not where human knowledge is reduced to trash.

Do not blame unemployment Neither should you blame the Nigerian people for not purchasing your book when you are not affiliated with any institution. You can volunteer your services to a university department and publish your findings through them or even make use of their journals as your source and seek their support for publishing and distribution, that is what researchers do, you are no researcher if you are afraid of doing this, or maybe you have tried and were rejected In summary, Reinventing history is not hustling it is wrong And in that regard how well has it gone for you since 2007 or whenever it was that you started your Hebrew claims? My advice to engage in academia should not be lost on you if you are really serious. good for you then. But where is the evidence? We are still on that spot You see why you need training?

0balufonlll:False accents? You make me laugh. Kindly ,get this off your medulla Oblongata because there is nothing like false accents. Infact, Yoruba language became documented through Ajayi Crowther between 1830s -1840s .The Oyo dialect was the pioneer dialect that was used to rearranged the spoken and written Yoruba language that became acceptable within purview of Yoruba world. And there is and was no spoken YORUBA DIALECTS,that is or was substandard,because Yoruba is a Continuum language So,bro like I had mentioned earlier ,you have no clue about Yoruba history.In as much as I have made references to many scholars work that saw migrants status of Yoruba, then let it rest. There is a linguistic connection,so also ritual connection.The only thing I will advice you to do, is to fold your hands and read through my posts, if you are comfortable but you feel uncomfortable then bypass them all. I am sure you have knowlwdge on the recent scientific genetic study that claimed Yoruba had a ghost 8% of unknown ancestors that is referred to SPECIES of HOMO HEIDELBERGENSIS. So Yoruba history is bigger than just your opinion or mine. There is a well established account of Yoruba dialects that canbe found on the web. So,kindly, visit places and you will understand that accents exists among the different yoruba groups. Cheers. 1 Like |
