Your English examples are not correct. Nigerians may pronounce them the same but the English people do not.

It is also like that in English, it is called homonyms e.g
Right_ opposite of left
Right- correct and opposite of wrong.
Can- CONTAINER
CAN- modal auxilliay verb
Etc.
Raydos:
Rebranding Of Yoruba Language!

It's Quite Funny Seeing One Word That Gives Different Meanings In Yoruba's Language, For Instance, "Ogun" Can Be Used 4times In A Different Ways.

For Example:-

Ogun - War
Ogun - Property
Oogun - Sweat
Ogun - Medicine

And

Igba - Time
Igba - 200
Igba - Calabash
Igba - Garden-Egg

I Think These Words Should Be Rebrand So It Will Make It More Easier To Understand.

In English Language, There Are Words Like That, But Instead Of Giving It One Spelling, They Were Given Different Spellings So It Will Be Easy To Understand, Lets Take These Words For Instance.

Example.

Fourth
Fault
Fought
Fort

And

Won
Worn
One
Warn

There Are Thousand Of Words In Yoruba That Has The Same Spelling But Different Meaning.

If These Words Can Be Given Different Spellings Just Like English - It Will Make Yoruba More Easier.
