What Is The Definition Of 'olodo'? by naijacutee(f): 8:08pm On Dec 28, 2006
Please can anyone give me a proper and concise definition for the word 'Olodo' in the context of schoolwork? Remember when in primary school, the child who had the lowest score would be branded an 'olodo' by the class teacher? How do you define the word in this context?
Other contexts welcome!!!

Olodo can be defined as a person who doesnt know anything,whose brain is empty.

i don't think there is an olodo, frankly speaking someone is an olodo if they dont know something particularyly. It then doesnt mean that the person is a dullard.


Ok, will you call Bill gates a Olodo just because he does not know how to cook even though he can sue your ass for pirating microsoft software or domain name?

can you call ruggedman a olodo just because he cannot solve a simple calculus formula even though he can turn your oriki into a rap dance track like baraje?

Will you call Naijacutee a olodo( Biko no vex ooooo, abeg, lol) just because she does not know programming, even though she can tell you a million business model you can start-up from the scratch


SO i have deduced the fact that, Olodo cannot be defined as someone who is a dullard, but as someone who is well versed in other things but very dull in some other aspects.



Ok, maybe i know, Hunn(Naijacutee, ), i think i remember what olodo is. Olodo is the name of the thing we were talking about on the phone the other time before christmas, lol, isnt it?

IN THAT CONTEXT, "OLODO" DOES NOT MEAN HE/SHE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING AS "OLODO" INTERPRETES INTOTO. IT MEANS HE HAS BEEN LEFT BEHIND. BEAR IN MIND THAT OLODO IN KINGS SCHOOL COULD BE THE WISE ONE IN QUEENS SCHOOL. I REST MYCASE

Olodo is a Benin word and not Yoruba. olodo means a door frame.
It was used as a slang word to mean a dull person, but it's original meaning from Benin Language is a door frame.

General olodo and specific olodo. I don't think there is any general olodo in reality. Specific olodo has to do with with a particular act at a particular time

what of o gba odo? Is odo a Benin word? When we say olodo it mean someone that always score zero in his/her assignment, exam or tests.. Olodo originated from Yoruba, is not just a slang it has meaning..all Yoruba slangs out there like japa, ode, oyinbo, oponu, asewo you folks corrupt as ashawo, olosho etc all have meaning. We don’t just say words without meaning in Yorubaland that’s why it will be so difficult for you lots to corrupt our language/words. Olodo in Benin have different meaning not the olodo that popularize in nigeria or are you not taught words with different meaning?
