Azeezat Abiola Amusat, the talented artist behind Beyoncé’s iconic gèlè in Black Is King, shares the story of how she came to work with the global superstar. It all began with a selfless Yorùbá woman, the late Alhaja Atinuke Sekinat Afuwape, who recommended her. Yorùbá women >>>>>>>

Is there still anyone who doubts that a Yorùbá woman, Azeezat Abiola Amusat, was the one who tied Beyoncé’s gèlè? Speak now or forever remain silent.

That the Holy Scriptures say it is more blessed to give than to receive is instructive. Reading your writings, and now your videos? You’ve given enough and you still are, ẹ̀gbọ́n. To give a subscription is the least I can do. If you do choose to follow back, I’d be genuinely honored, bàbá mí! Well done, Sir!

HELLO FRIENDS; If you have subscribed to our YouTube page - the link is on my bio - kindly do like this 👉 in the comments. I owe each of you a quote on any post of your choosing, especially those of you building smaller audiences, as my modest gesture of gratitude. Your support is not lost on me. I do not take it for granted. But beyond the gesture, consume what lives on that page. Share it with your friends, your followers, your timelines. He who plants a tree must not sit alone in its shade. This nation demands a collective labour from us: matching every shadow of negativity with light, every falsehood with verified truth, every counsel of despair with the stubborn insistence of hope. I am on a mission - perhaps a desperate one - to sanitize the information space. And I cannot wage it alone. Come, walk with me. Thank you, Friends. Good Morning, Severally.

@igbowomenontop Oh come on! Omalicha, don’t be jealous. Everybody knows she got her looks from her Yorùbá dad. Don’t worry, you’re beautiful on the inside too.

@AriyoImmanuel A full yorugba woman would not look like that and you know it to. She is clearly mixed and that is what saved her looks

The Ebonyi Journal of Language and Literary Studies clearly identifies “akara” as a borrowed word from Yorùbá into Igbo, noting that “the Igbo people borrowed the food from Yorùbá” (see Frame 1). Ifeka Juliet Onyeocha, an Igbo linguist, scholar, and lecturer in the Department of Linguistics at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, in “Igbo Language Development: Exploring the Use of Lexical Borrowing”, also explicitly identifies “akara” as a Yorùbá loanword (see Frame 2). The evidence from both studies supports a single conclusion: “akara” is a Yorùbá loanword in Igbo (and even other languages). PS: Udene na egbe anaghi azo nri: udene na-eri ozu; egbe na-ebu na nkike.

Akara and akamu have become staple breakfasts across Nigeria, thanks to Igbos who created and popularized them.

“Isreal, èyán mí, my guy, ọmọ Naija...” WWE Superstar Oba Femi shows support for Israel Adesanya ahead of his fight this weekend. Two Yorùbá-Nigerians backing each other on the global stage, across geography and profession. This is the kind of unity we love to see. Let's go Stylebender! 🥊🔥

Good boy. Now you've moved from saying I edited it to saying “Scribd is known for posting scam stuff”. The Igbo term for boss or master is “onye isi” or “nnanyi ukwu”. Ọ̀gá is a Yorùbá word.

Òndó State arguably has the richest spread of Yorùbá dialects. Akoko alone has over a dozen. From Epinmi Akoko to Oka Akoko, Ugbe Akoko, Arigidi Akoko, Ikaram Akoko, Isua Akoko, Ikare Akoko, Akungba Akoko, etc, with each carrying its own distinct way of speaking. In fact, it’s often said that in Akoko, every village has its own dialect.

Akure people really speak their dialect all day 😭😭😭😭😭😭 this is some of the most interesting Yoruba I’ve ever heard.

Even under Igbo phonology and semantics, the claim that “oga” is derived from “ogaranya” doesn’t hold. “Ọ̀ga” and “Ọ̀gàrànyà” are structurally and tonally distinct, with completely different meanings. There is no standard Igbo dictionary evidence supporting any derivational link between the two. What you do find, however, is that Igbo dictionaries explicitly mark “ọ̀ga” as a Yorùbá loanword (see img). Words such as oyinbo/oyibo, egusi/egwusi, akara/akala, as well as onogbo and esusu, among others, are also Yorùbá borrowings within the Igbo lexicon. I can’t be correcting you and still be the one teaching you your language at the same time.

Oga was derived from Ogaranya, which means a wealthy person in Igbo. Oyibo is an Igbo word which was derived from the way British colonialist pronounced “Onye Igbo” Ugu means vegetable in Igbo, in fact, there are Igbos who bear Ugwu as a name.
