Iwo t'an w'aparo bii kafi dala, ori eye ni o pe'ye. This shows the very point I was trying to make in the last post about the root meaning of the name 'aparo', this goes a long way to reveal how intelligent the ancient Yoruba wordsmiths were and in spite of clearness of their ideas, if you are not resourceful upstairs, you will only be looking at a word and will never be able to access the meaning.

There are thousands of cases like this in Yoruba landuage.

Let me try the etymology of Agbabiaka, for my kinsman, Osolo of Isolo, omo Isoloshi ile Ijamido, iganmode Afeleja, Osolo omo Aina Gbeto, sun re o. May God repose his soul.

Agbabiaka simply implies a body that spins like a circle. Whenever we come across agba, if we look at it carefully, it often connotes spherical object in Yoruba. From this, I can confidently say Yoruba understood the concept of a spherical world as ancient mariners, or sea people whose history were well attested in the ancient world history. For this, the Yoruba speaks of agbanla Aye, "the great spinning (circling) earth".

How do we establish this?

We have to understand ancient Yoruba law of physics that says "ajantuka ni tagba aarin". What this implies is that "it's impossible to try to tie three spherical objects together in a rope without the one in the middle jumping out." once we can decode the meaning of "tagbaarin", we would have access to the meaning of the entire statement and the implication of "agba" as used here. then it can be applied elsewhere.

Yoruba is a language that harbors great knowledge. We can decode every word that come across as 'imponderable' scientifically.

What a pity to a wasted life

Thank God for safety, I escape this demon and his clique. "Iwo tanwo aparo bii kafi dala, ori eye ni o p'eye.

The level of bile that makes up his heart never allow potential for greater knowledge to truly take root. Very evil soul.

Tbh, I see why some often bring this up, considering some similar strange cultures such as, making the second twin the elder of the twins, female child inheritance etc and there are also the several Yoruba words which matches the Hebrew words with similar meanings, such as

Aye (Hayah) means to exist or life.

Aanu (Hannah) means Mercy/favour.

Orun (Arun) means height.

Lale (Laylah) means Night.

Binu (benas) means anger.

Melo (Melo) means fullness.

Iwa (Iwa) means strong character/righteousness.

Eyinju (Ayin) means Eyes.

Oluwa (Eloah/Elowah) means Lord.

Ara (Raahm) means thunder.

Ori (Rosh) means head.

Ibere (Barasheet) means beginning.

Baale (Baale of Judah).

And so-on.

Meanwhile, the Yoruba weren't even trading with the Hebrews hence the reason why these are all strange. Lol. Aside that, Ifa which is Yoruba religion (and also entails the history of the Yoruba) talks about the Messiah being the Word born of a virgin woman as the begotten child of God while also referring to the Yoruba as "Omoluabi" which means the children of God. Also, the Yoruba have also got similar names for God as the Hebrew's names for God for example, Yoruba names for God are Oluwa, Olorun, Eledumare, ìyè/Eriwoyah which are similar to the Hebrew's names for God such as Eloah/Elowah, Elohim, El 'mareh, Yahweh..

All these are mysterious tbh.

Anyways, I have come to a stage where I have decided on two theories which are, either the Yoruba were Hebrew who left Egypt at the time the Hebrew were still in Egypt (Moses also left too and would have stayed where he was if not for the fact that he was asked to go lead out the other Hebrews). As I previously stated, if the Yoruba were Hebrews, I understand why all that were happening in Judea were also happening in Yorubaland since the Hebrew were promised of the Messiah 🤔 Either that or the Yoruba are just ancient people doing their things. It's even annoying that the ancient Egyptians described as blacks by the Greeks such as Aristotle, Plato etc were destroyed by the Arabs who had almost destroyed the other Northern Africans, including the Hausa who were already having most of their language changed into that of Arab until Rupert East preserved what was left of their Hausa language by asking the Hausa to document it.

Tbh, while the Europeans aren't without faults of course, however, I actually appreciate the fact that they preserved the African heritage📌 and ensured a lot were documented back then, as well as the map!

Interestingly I strongly believe certain groups of Yoruba are Hebrews-Canaan in origin , Arabs,Europeans, African-Nubians in origin .

Yoruba predates a lot of things because Yoruba have got an ancient African gene with an ancient Eurasian admixture thus it means the Yoruba are ancient people.

It's either the ancient Yoruba went out to birth others before returning back to Africa or the Yoruba were part of the early Jews but parted early, considering the Jews were in and out of Africa in the Old BC timeline.

Of course Yoruba language has got a mix of old Jewish language with African language just as their ancient gene shows an ancient African gene with an ancient Eurasian admixture. The Yoruba language itself is a mix of African (which includes the old Coptic), Semitic, Asiatic etc. maybe some Greek/Euro considering some Greeks words such as Apata - Peter which means "Rock" or Lara, Adelaide etc.. Lol.

Funnily, there was a talk of people with strange language below the Ethiopia river where two rivers divides a land in Isaiah 18:2-3? Isn't that Lokoja, a Yoruba named town which is the home of the Yoruba westwards? As a matter of fact, Yoruba calls God the same several names as the Jewish several names for God. For example, Oluwa (Eloah), Olorun (Elohim), El 'mareh (Eledumare/Olodumare), Ìyè/Eriwoyah (Yahweh).

To add to the description btw, apart from IFA calling the Yoruba Omoluabi, Ifa also calls the Yoruba "Adulawo". Now the question is, are the Yoruba the dispersed ones below the Ethiopia river often talked for example in Isaiah 18:1-3 and also in Zeph 3:10 or they're just ancient people doing their thing? 😅 Yahweh did say his people shall bear his name. Yoruba ended up bearing Yoruba name given by Oranmiyan/Sango. Not to mention the fact that a messiah born of a virgin woman was also sent to the Yoruba.

On the other hand, Yoruba could also be ancient people just doing their thing. Besides, the dispersed ones should be in Ethiopa and Europe na..

It's strange how Yoruba have got similar several names for God as the Jewish names..

Either ways, Yoruba are quite mysterious ..

Anyways, Yoruba religion which is Ifa is all about intelligence, creativity and civilization.

Quite insightful, thumbs up on this one.

Let me add that In some version, especially in the KJV version, the Isaiah 18:2-3 says the river spoiled their land (not divides the land). So if the passage was talking about how some people's land was spoilt by river, it can't be Lokoja/Yorubaland na. Lol 😂😂

Meanwhile, the ancient Eurasian admixture gene and language stuff made me have two theories which is either the Yoruba are ancient people doing their thing📌 or some early Jews in the old BC timeline (considering the fact that the Yoruba have got similar names for God as the Jewish and were also sent a messiah born of a virgin woman).. So they could be early Jews in the old BC timeline or are just ancient people doing their thing.

Either ways...

Baba, good efforts, but you have a choice to make: research the Yoruba history from the best perspective you supposed with the deductible inference from the materials at your disposal.

You can't be the one making progress with what have you and the same person cancelling your own findings. Otherwise, you are making what you wish the evidence of your myriad claims.
