@Owenozilabraham @FS_Yusuf_ Prayer cannot do all things. Prayer can make things possible, but only if you work hard for it.

Prayer cannot give us stable and 24/7 electricity if our government does not build a nuclear power plant for us.

Prayer is not d key, d key is in your mentality to build your future

Dear Kayode,

Thank you for your tribute. However, this word, Yoruba, has caused so much confusion. What does it mean? It is completely meaningless. It has no meaning in the language that it purports to be a name for. It is a word manufactured by Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther in an attempt to give the British an identity for the people in the part of Nigeria, now called the Southwest.

The original name of the people is Edekiri. They referred to themselves as Omo-ti-Olu-Iwa-bi, corrupted to Omoluabi. And the name of their language is Lukumi.

Before the British, NOBODY self-identified as Yoruba. You were either Egba, Owu, Oyo, Ekiti, Awori, Jekri (Itsekiri), Ilaje, Igala, Igbomina, Akoko, etc.

Then you had the Jaboo, or Jebu (the addition of I at the beginning is recent), who were of a different ethnic nationality with a separate origin.

The modern Yoruba which you speak is a mishmash patois of various Lukumi dialects that was formed in 19th Century Lagos.

If you read Bishop Crowther's account of his capture by Fulani slavers from Osogun at the age of 12, circa 1820, you will note that as he was taken to Lagos, he could not communicate fully with the other Lukumi tribes on the route from Osogun, in modern-day Oyo, to Badagry. That is because he was Oyo, and they were Egba and later Awori.

Using the term, Yoruba cuts you off from your fellow Lukumi. Have that at the back of your mind.

What do the people of Ibadan call their king? Is it not Olu? What is the king of Warri called? Is it not Olu? What is one of the titles of the Ooni of Ife? Is it not Alayeluwa? That Alayeluwa is Alaye Olu-Iwa. He is also an Olu. There are other Olu, including Oluaye.

The full pronunciation of the word Lukumi is Olukumi. There is actually a tribe in Delta called Olukumi. I do not want to talk about their origin, because it might cause a riot. However, the word Olu is a common thread in all Lukumi languages, whether in Nigeria, Brazil, Benin, Togo, or Cuba. In Cuba they spell it Lucumi.

The most common preface to any name in the Lukumi language is Olu. Oluboyo, Olumagin (Itsekiri), Olumide, Olufunke, Olusegun, Oluyomi, Olukoya, Oluyemisi, Olukayode.

The next most common preface for a typical Lukumi name is Ifa, which was our deity. Any so-called Yoruba name beginning with Fa, for example, Fashola, Fawehinmi, Fayemi, Fakunle, is actually in praise of Ifa. Fawahenmi simply means Ifa has my back!

I am not sure what the word Lukumi means. It might mean the Lord fills me (Olukunmi). But that is a guess. I really do not know for certain.

Even the word that Bishop Crowther translated to satan, Esu, does not mean satan. Esu is not an evil being. If Ajayi Crowther had matured before he was taken as an enslaved boy, he would have known this. The full name of Esu is Esu elegbara. He is an Orisha. Ojuelegba in Lagos is just short for Ojubo Elegbara, meaning shrine of Esu elegbara.

Thanks again, and may God bless you.
