A typical Gullah speaker would say, 'me na unu', 95% similar to what an Igbo speaker would say, 'mu na unu' (me and you (plural)). Some people would be surprised to learn that broken English, similar to that spoken in Jamaica is spoken natively in the US! It is called Gullah or Geeche. In Gullah pidgin English spoken in Georgia and South Carolina of the United States, they retained the Igbo word for 'and', being 'na' till today. Interestingly enough in Jamaica and Gullahh, they still use the original Igbo word, 'unu' in their Jamaican patois. 'una'/'unu' is is spoken in over 10 different countries in Africa, North America and South America. in the Caribbean and in the Gullah (English-based patois) dialect of United States. Una, derived from 'unu' in Igbo, or any of its derivatives, unu/wuna etc is one Igbo word that is overwhelmingly found in nearly all English-based patois spoken in most English-speaking countries in Africa and the Caribbean, starting eastwards from Cameroon, Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia etc in Africa to Jamaica, Belize, Trinidad, Tobago, Guyana, St. You can run around in circles if you want but let's call a spade a spade.ĥ Likes Re: Origin Of The Word " Oyibo". Egusi is natively callled 'egwusi' in Igbo. I'm sorry there's no Yoruba proof of this word. Listen to any warri speaker, you barely hear those words save for 'omo', 'shebi', 'sey', etc. Warri pidgin is bereft of many of these so-called 'popular' words. Not even Warri pidgin that is closer to SW compared to the SE. 'de' as in 'where you dey' is now Yoruba? And you call easterners claimers? You barely even know that many words imported with pidgin English are of Igbo origin, 'una' from 'unu' in Igbo (unu = you plural), 'dey' from 'di' in Igbo (Chi di = God dey, O di nma = e dey good), 'tey' from 'tee' in Igbo (O teela = e don tey) etc.Ĩ0% of these words you think are popular in Nigerian pidgin are only popular in Lagos pidgin. Oga, pele, patapata, abi, egusi, oyinbo, se, Sebi, nko, de, ti, ki lo, omo, sisi, etcCc aljharem There are lot of Yoruba words in pidgin to the extent that Igbos now think it's their words, eg. In fact I don't know what these people do smoke Oga (master, brother) mi, 'Oga! was gotten from 'organizer'? They argue everything forgetting that pidgin makes use of very flexible Yoruba language and it was more prominent in Lagos and Warri areas at the beginning. The trans-atlantic slave trade is a field I am deeply knowledgeable about that I started researching into since 2008.ġ Like Re: Origin Of The Word " Oyibo".
I do not fabricate nor upload fake 'images' or 'links'. Chambers' book can be downloaded here: Ģ) Source of the tabular data showing estimated Yoruba slave exports (total sum circa 500,000):īook name: Slavery, Colonialism and Economic Growth in Dahomey, 1640-1960 Name of published book: Rejoinder – The Significance of Igbo in the Bight of Biafra Slave-Trade- A Rejoinder to Northrup’s Myth IgboĪuthor, D.

I am sure you'd claim to be a graduate because if you were, you would have seen the source of the tabular data you are asking for directly beneath the image, which is: All these comments and accusations of being a revisionist in 24 hours? Lol, the information provided must have hit you so hard that you could only deny and reject it. Oga where did DB Chambers find his stats? That is the real question.
