Haba! Ikoko is hyena now hence the phrase, Ikoko, aj'egun j'eran.

Leopard/ Cheetah is correct
Fox is definitely kolokolo or eleyoro
Akata is wolf, check again.

Quimicababes iru waala wo lo wa ko wa si bayii

According to this source,

Wolf is Ikoriko

As for Akata, they referred to Ajako which means jackal

I think we all agree with the Leopard/Tiger translation

And gorillas?

Gorillas are only indigenous to Nigeria/Cameroon and Central Africa.

Interesting observation.

But I don't think it will ever be as profound as Nigeria's. And even that can be negated under a well defined provincial structure, with true fiscal federalism. We can use the Canadian, German, or Chinese model - those three models are fantastic.

The most important thing is the common language, culture, tradition, heritage, and people. The aftermath of Kiriji wars gave us a unique language and one identity under the Yoruba umbrell[/b]a - similar to the ethnic English who were all splinter Germanic groups but never had a common language and identity till the English language and identity were formulated/created. That's the common goal we need - something Nigeria will always lack.

Make we leave this animal matter...........Ikoko is some kind of wild dog sha and so is akata finito.

Ilaje44:


His dictionary is not completely correct. I mean I also learnt Ekun is tiger while I went to school, however, it's very incorrect as we never had tigers in Africa. Ekun is definitely the leopard, and amotekun being the cheetah. In the history of the town of Akure, there is a tale of a titled man who caught a life "ekun". And it was a leopard that he caught.

Ikoko is hyeana!

Ilaje44:

That one is very easy.

Lion = Kiniun
Gorilla = Inaki (inoki). It's called ELEGBEDE in other Yoruba dialects e.g. Ilaje

Aareonakakanfo:


Lion is Kiniun

Gorilla is Inaki

Prof mi this dictionary should be very useful,Its in PDF so you fit download am

It's great to catch up with the thread. I been have working on some wicked assignments from the HQ.

A month ago, Aare created this beautiful thread and I Zimoni Olorinla was the first person that commented.

This is the Best Thread In the History of NL.



I shall be posting about agricultural potentials in Yorubaland when I'm done with my assignments. Most of the food we eat are from the North and oversea. It shouldn't be so.

IlekeHD:


Is it the same intonation as AA's akata?

Those folks know who they can lie to. It's the internet age and information everywhere on the planet is easily accessible.

Hahaha! lets edit our comments before they mess up the thread with their Atm-size Head honchos
