Linguistically close and yet dislike themselves so much, Yoruba and Igbo need to discover themselves more than they are so far doing.

Igbo....IKWIKWI OSTRITCH....Yoruba...Ogongo......Igbo.....Ogonogo Nnunu ELEPHANT....yoruba.....Erin..........Igbo.....Enyi CAT.....Yoruba....olongbo..........Igbo.....Onogbo GOAT.....Yoruba....Ewure..........Igbo ....Ewu SQUIRREL....Yoruba....Okere......Igbo....Oke HEN/ROOSTER...Yoruba...Akuko....Igbo....Okuko And so many......Other similarities like; Eriri.....Yoruba...Extreme grief Ariri......Igbo....extreme grief Imu....yoruba....nose Imi.....Igbo...nose Agan....bareness..Yoruba Aga...bareness....Igbo Eti....Ear...Yoruba Nti....ear...Igbo Igba...calabash...Yoruba Agba....calabash...Igbo Okuta...Stone Yoruba Okute....stone...Igbo Eru...Slave ...Yoruba Oru...Slave...Igbo Orisa...God...Yoruba Olisa...God...Igbo Esu..Devil...Yoruba Ekwe-Nsu...Igbo Ogun....Twenty...Yoruba Ogu....Twenty ...Igbo O mi/miri....water...Yoruba N miri....water...Igbo Agbin....Yoruba...chin Agba....Igbo....chin Ifufe....Yoruba....breeze/wind/air Ifufu/Ikuku...Igbo...Breeze/wind/air Awi...Yoruba...grey hair Awo...Igbo.....grey hair Giripa/Igiripa....Yoruba...Man in in his youth/strong man Dimkpa.....Igbo......man in his youth/strong man Oogun...yoruba...medicine/poison/charm Ogwu....Igbo...medicine/poison/charm Apara....Yoruba...basket?
