Let me have your attention:

The gèlè vs I.chaf00l conversation you see every moment on the TL is being sponsored.

It's deeper than you think and the real battle ground is not on X.

These guys have gone on Wikipedia and her sister Websites to vandalise these pages replacing gèlè with I.chaf00l.

We have roundly defeated them on Wikipedia (I won't go into much details) that's why they come here every market day to shout I.chaf00l bla bla.

They are doing this to ragebait you into giving the topic more social media visibility and search engine validation and indexing as they want their actions here to commemorate their efforts on the vandalised pages.

The more you mention I.chaf00l in its correct form beside gele, the more they appear on search engines when gèlè is being searched for.

Don't give them that clout!

1a. Any post that mentions I.chaf00l. Don't engage it, send me, @NoNonsensezone, @og_beeping101 or @nezzylina the link.

1b. Mute the poster.

2. Any Yorùbá you see mentioning I.chaf00l or commenting on a post that does so, send them a courtesy DM to explain the danger of what they doing.

3. Always mispell I.chaf00l - this is very important.

4. Their ring leader is that girl approaching menopause coming here to beg for husband daily. Her puuussy is on the TL. When she makes a video and you feel too itchy to reply her, you know what to do.

Starve them of attention and watch them go into oblivion.

We own this street and we alone can decide what trends or not. This is not a battle of gèlè alone. They will come for agbada, fìlà and everything that belongs to us but we must be ready.

Yours in Strategic Consciousness,
Bayo Bilisi Ọmọ Jẹjẹ

For the culture 👍

𝗢̣𝗕𝗔 — '𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧' [lol] 𝗼𝗿 '𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗟𝗢𝗥𝗗'? 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗫𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗘́:

There’s not one single Ẹdo-Benin oral tradition or account which makes the strange claim that '𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮́' translates into '𝐥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁' (or even '𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲') — not one.

There is also no academic source whatsoever for this claim. This gibberish emerged only lately (on the internet) from Ẹdo-Benin youngsters who felt compelled to cover up what they perceived to be a cultural embarrassment for the Benin kingdom.

One of the ardent proponents of this gibberish (a certain internet jester, named Imasuen) informed Prince Aghatise (an elder, a member of the Benin royal family and the younger sibling of the Oba of Benin) that he has found the real meaning of 𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮́ within the Ẹdo-Bini language, viz. '𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲/𝐥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁'. He was however informed on the spot: '𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮́' = '𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴'; not 𝐥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 or 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲. See 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝟭 for his self-report.
.
.
The literal derivation (etymology) of the term 𝗼̣𝗯𝗮 is clear & straightforward using Yoruba language. But if we pretend it is originally an Ẹdo-Bini term, then linguistic/monarchical incoherence pops up

Using Yoruba language, the etymology goes thus:

The noun '𝗼̣𝗯𝗮' is rooted in the Yoruba verb '𝗯𝗮', & this verb (in this context) means: to '𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵', to '𝐥𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿'— e.g. how a hen 𝗯𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 its chicks.

'ọba' = 'ọ'+'ba'
'ba' = to 'lord over'
['ọ' → nominalizing prefix]
'ọ'+'ba' = 'one who lords over'
'ọba' = the '𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝐥𝗼𝗿𝗱' (Q. E. D.)
.
.
With Ẹdo language, incoherence is not avoidable:

'ọ́bá' = 'ọ́'+'bá'
'bá' = 'to pretend'
['ọ́' → nominalizing prefix]
'ọ́'+'bá' = 'one who pretends'
'ọ́bá' = the 'pretender' (Q. E. D.)

Given the mismatch between the expected result (e.g. 'leader', 'ruler', 'king', 'overlord', etc.) and this actual result (i.e. 'pretender'); it becomes obvious that 'ọ́bá' is a loan-word from the Yoruba lexicon.

Rather than concede it, the Ẹdo-Bini youngsters resorted to outright deception — exposed below:

'𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́' = 'to shine'. ✅
['ọ́' → nominalizing prefix]. ✅
'ọ́'+'𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́' = 'one who shines'. ✅
'ọ́𝗯𝗮́' = the 'light', or the 'shine'. ❌

If the actual term in question was 𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́, then 𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́ would translate '𝐥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁', etc. But it’s 𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮́ (not 𝗼̣́𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́).

This Bini verb 𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́ (in 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝟮) has no connection whatsoever to ọ́𝗯𝗮́ (in 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝟯), because this 𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́ (also spelt 𝗯𝗮̌) has a different tone & stretch from 𝗯𝗮́. Hence, 𝗯𝗮̀𝗮́ is a totally different word from 𝗯𝗮́.

In sum, the Ẹdo-Benin 'ọ́bá' is simply a loan-word from the actual Yoruba term, 'ọba' (Lit. '𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝐥𝗼𝗿𝗱')

In fact, the Yoruba verb 'ba' on which this term is based is pervasive in Yoruba language for diverse terms on the idea of head-ship, etc. For example, '𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗮' [father], 'i𝗯𝗮' [captain], '𝗯𝗮álẹ̀' [lording], etc
.
.
As per the term 𝗢̣𝗺𝗼̣ in Ẹdo-Benin context, this is the unique appellation of the Benin ọba — just as the unique appellation of Ifẹ̀’s ọba is 'Ọọ̀ni'; & the unique appellation of the Ọ̀yọ́ ọba is 'Aláàfin', etc

Thus, 𝗢̣𝗺𝗼̣ 𝗻’𝗢̣𝗯𝗮 𝗻’𝗘̣𝗱𝗼 as a phrase translates as: 𝗢̣𝗺𝗼̣, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗘̣𝗱𝗼. See Agheyisi (𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲-𝟰).

𝗢̣𝗯𝗮 is a quintessentially Yoruba word. It is only in Yoruba language that its literal root can be found.

Cheers!!!

@harajvku @JustWillVzlano What?

[Annie | XORA Co. (Perfumes • Fashion Items) @ininghe_]

A nation of professional complainers and part time cowards.

Everyday, you people will come on this app to lament that MTN is stealing your data.

Someone finally decides to actually do something about it instead of sitting down to cry like is common with Nigerians.

And all she's asking is for you people to help her sign a petition and provide more evidence that she can use in this fight.

And what do Nigerians do?

They ignore her and act like they're all suddenly too wealthy to care now.

Just 10k signatures, and it's been over 2 days already. Yet over 489k people have seen this tweet.

Tomorrow, you'll wonder why your country is the way it is.

Your leaders already know you're all a bunch of cowards who would rather sit on your hands and complain than demand accountability.

They know you'll never wake up from your sleep and fight for your rights.

Next thing, you'll start tagging Donald Trump to come and save you, like it was your grandfathers that helped them get America to where it is today.

Keep waiting for other people to come and save you, you hear?

Bunch of princesses.

Content creator Samyra slams Cardi B for her fatphobic remarks: “All I’ve done is ask that you and everybody else unlearn fatphobia.”

This comes after Cardi B mocked her plus-size fans, dismissed criticism of her comments and refused to apologize.

Cardi B has a long history of making derogatory remarks and engaging in behavior, including calling a gay man a “glitter bottom,” telling people to dig up their dead family members, sending men to beat up women, and calling children “bitch” and “monkey,” among other incidents. Her latest comments are yet another example of her pattern of degrading people.
