How the words “ABOKI” and “YAMIRI” started !!
[A Thread]

A lot of things have been said about the origin of these words but this is what we found out. And we are ready to be corrected 🙏
Yamiri

From our research, Yamiri is actually no Hausa or Fulani word like most people will think, neither does it have any meaning in any of these languages.
The word Yamiri originated as a mockery to the Igbo captives during the civil war.
This captives were usually starved or poorly fed. Most of them who can only speak the Igbo language will request for water from their captors and would “say nye m mmiri” which means 'give me water' when translated to english language.
