Forumites,

I just stumbled across this one which is aimed at proving the similarities between the Igbo(Biafran) language and Yoruba(Nigerian) language.

Don't ask me why I'm posting it here, just click

This is much Ado about nothing, for starters all but one of his spellings in Igbo are wrong.

He is trying to stretch it, yes it is true that most of sub-saharan African languages belong to the Kwa language group, correct spelling and proper pronounciation of Igbo will show that the two languages differ markedly.

The Oduduwa people have been seriously trying to hedge Ndiigbo in, their guilty conscience is in over-drive, it will not work, they must make up for their participation in the depraved treatment of Ndiigbo by the Nigerian state from 1966 to the present.

This Adesanya guy is clutching at straws.
He should make haste to compile another pathetic language similes between Yoruba and Awusa.
Desperately trying to hang on to Ndigbo in order to keep leeching off our resources will never work.

I give him "F" for effort. A desperate attempt, but finds the subject taxing.
