Some of our government- policies are often inspired by tax mode and extortion. A policy like this ough to have been targetted on eradicating 'jobber-extortionists' from our roads. But 'sacred cow' they were.

@Radoillo, the phenomenon you refer to is aptly advanced in Howard Gardener's theory of intelligence. I don't have that off hand, but D.Trump really gloss about these intelligences in collaborative work with R. Kiyosaki, titled 'midas touch'. What we often take for granted in everyday 'gifted' people indeed is some form of intelligence. @ops, the old definition of iq is narrow, time has really changed. The old scuum of iq stereotype is forever fading.

Good post. I'm from Ado, in Ado-Odo/Ota LGA, Ogun state. I do frequent this place a lot! My people pride themselves as "...omo Isedale Yoruba" that's like 'history happen here" to me. That something for our archeologist. Ado folks thrives in their rustic agricultural settlement. Where are you from, @poster?

Kindly fetch me the story of how Arab trade partner name Saki as such, and the meaning of Saki in Arabia as well as the economic importance of the place as well as the reason it earn Arabian name. Kindly quote VERIFIABLE source for your story. Thanks.

macof:

I hope are aware that Arabians were close partners with Oyo traders.

Saki is an Arab word and the Yoruba word for laugher is "Irerin" I still don't see "Isokun" in any of this

You are not looking for answers or truth, so I am not suprise by your conclution which clearly shows you are not Yoruba, but an impostor just as Terracotter had suspected. What Yoruba person will call laughter 'irerin'? You thought you have asked me an impossible question, I have answered you and you have change the standard. Now, what does IWO ELERU mean?

macof:

but "Isokun" has nothing to do with "laughter" as "yisaki" does and the words arent even alike

Good, do you understand that masjid became mosque and then Mosalashi? English became Geesi, Anglican, as Aguda. Moreso Ahmad became Amodu and Creole became 'Kiriyo', which in Yoruba language means 'live on hawking'. As for yisaki, if a younger person laughs while playing with an elder, the elder may say 'o mboyin' or 'o mbo Saki'. 'Bo yin' is 'rerin', 'bo SAKI' is a fancy variant of rerin, meaning, laugh.

Quit interesting, and so un(metaphisical). Keep it up bruv.

Meanwhile, I do not mean aerial maliciously to malign you of your Yoruba/African heritage. I have no such power. The point I'm making is that even our tradition validate some biblical precept and it could be viewed with the same sacred vestiges reserved for our tradition. The hallmark of scholarship is offering information that is not tainted by latent bitterness or geopolitic activism. Thanks.

@RandomAA, when I refer to Isaac as Isokun, it is not wild goose chase. The Yoruba tradition for twins says "Taye lolu ejire ara isokun," meaning 'The first child is the eminent of the friendly two, progeny of Isokun.' Do you have a couple in Egypt by that name whose history survive? Then the tradition continues 'omo kehinde gbegbon' meaning 'the last child supplant the seniority'. We know that Hebrew tongue is diluted, whose tongue is not? Is-haq,(Arabo-semitic) Isaac(English), Isokun, (Yoruba, Saki?), is that any difficult to comprehend with the ing tradition in the absence of 'vested interest' bias? In fact, everyone have their epistle, you are motivated on purpose, so why must I submit to your 'aerial' conclution in spite of classic fact at my disposal? ;(

Where is my dog?

Educational sagacity is not garrulous, symbolic expression is jingoism...Our story here is like the indian folkstory of parrot and the lorikeet. You are courting trouble if you are not echoing wikipedia or quoting 'the golden era historians'. No more pioneering a school of thought. Beware of dog, meta.

Go to Unilag bookshop, you will get Yemi Elebuibon's latest work on Ifa still selling fast on the shelf, or better still Wande Abimbola's works. These are two published great Ifa veterans. Goodluck.

Big bros, kudos. I know this is the one culture we have to assert ourselves with all semantic device at our disposal. Ejidun and Malaki were patriarchs at Ibefun. The name ejidun simply means eji-Odun, Yoruba for 'second month'. Now this is symbolic, the Ipetu-Ijesa would say, 'ejidun-olokun ti amise agbe loyin'. The word 'Ejidun' can be linked to 'omo Adele teji-teji.' Eji [two or rain] is a function of exodus, how?: the expression 'a de le t'eji-t'eji as sentence means 'we got home at two or at raining season'. Adele as a name means 'regent' and is akin to Aron. Ejidun is second month of the year. In mainstream Yoruba, second month is called 'IRELE', (february), meaning 'going home' i.e. exodus. The time is mid march or april, not our gregarian February. Ejidun and Malaki were brothers, if Ejidun is Irele, then Adele (Ejidun) make sense, and so does Olokun. But there is no mention of Olokun on the Island. Wait, who was Eshinlokun? who was Jose iduntafa (JOSE, PAINED BY ARCHER) and so on? SENSIBLE MEDLEY!

Adimu literally means 'the veiled one' or 'one who cover her nose'. This word is Yoruba re-enactment of Isaac (Isokun) and REBEKAH'S 'engagement'. Moses record it (Gen24:65) because of its historical significance in Hebrew culture, and the same survive as cultural practise observe among Yoruba women in the day of their expousal. Yoruba bride do cover their face just before they are bethroted to their beloved. The Eyo costume reminisces the espousal of Iya Onitana, Aromire-Ake at Ibefun as 'aya Ola' (queen), before she became 'eyo ile Ola'. btw, meself I be 'omo ola' o, ejoh o! Just Kidding. (oriki JOSE, 'Nimode Ibefun, omo abejoye...').

ladionline: To me, Ado was the person who organise the southward journey from the 'alausa' camp that led to the discovery of Yorubaland. He was the youth leader while Odu'a was the Mother superior. Adimu is identical with Adamu Orisha, Eyo ile Ola. Look at Eyo dresscode. Thats Adimu, someone spotting 'hijab' like Rebekah, wife of Isaac. Thats how or why Yoruba bride often cover their face on the day of their espousal, like Rebekah. [IKO, CA] Laba [ekun] resonates with Laban, the brother of Rebekah. (Gen 24)*. Ekun maa fara sinko, Iwaju ekun ina, eyin ekun oorun, aboju wo, abese wo. A ri gini, a rin gini. Arin gini-gini w'oja. - 'E-suwa!

*Editted.

That's right, the Yoruba would say 'aye nyi lor' (the world spins on) 'a ntor' (we are haul along with it).

I'm happy to have you back. I was wandering 'where has meta been?' Of course Crowder was as agitated for true Yoruba history as we do, but Yoruba scholarship of his time was just being born. He was codependent on contemporary missionaries and also frequents Muslim Yorubas who were at the forefront of staging the rebirth of their fatherland as they thought is best suited. But most of all, as a scholar, he wanted a theocentric, civilized Yorubaland to reckon with as an advance African culture.
