Ola can refer to a wealthy person, as long as the person is popular.

Can you call a rich person whom nobody knows an Olola?
That was why I was correcting that guy, telling him that Ola means more of Excellence.

A state Governor can be a Olola, but might not be an Oloro.
While a very successful but unknown business person can be an Oloro but might not be an Olola.

We pray to become Olowo and Oloro, when it comes to wealth no one prays to be an Olola (usually) . Think about it well.

I think there has been a mix-up from generations to generations in the handing over of the Yoruba language, though i do not know much but i know i have common sense, so bro lets look at it this way.

Ola = Wealth/Riches
Oro = Words/Talks

i then believe

Olo Which means ''Owner Of'' if added to these words should mean

Olola= Rich person or Owner of Wealth

Oloro= Prestigous person/Excellence

Having explained, i believe Oloro is or was someone who could or should speak and others would follow with due respect, such a person is a respected one among the villagers, but you can not attain such heights without riches, while Olola is a rich person who controls the people with his wealth or should i say people just chose to respect him because he his rich.

I hope you get my explanation ?

I am talking about Orò (Re-Do) meaning Wealth, not Òrò (Do-Do) meaning Word.

Nice explanation attempt though..

Okay, i just don't believe Oro has ever really meant Wealth, and i don't really know how to use these Re, Mi, Do; Ami Oke, Arin ati Isale but every yoruba word usally have six meaning based on the Ami(Mark) well here are that of the word ''Oro'' correct me if i am wrong

Oro= Word
Oro= He turns
Oro= He thinks
Oro= Masquraid
Oro= Poison
Oro= He clears/cut it
