But please don't claim pidgin words as yoruba.

SONG IN YORUBA IS ORIN

GBEDU is pidgin

Thanks

Ajebo gotten from Ajebutter is also pidgin

Then again, wahala is hausa which further derived from wahl an
arabic word which means trouble.

You are the funniest guy on nl today... WTF?? U don't know "Aje" in the front of butter is a full yoruba word?? It means "someone that eats" do ur research very well.. Gbedu is a popular yoruba slang.

I don't know much about wahala. Though.

Odeku - Local beer but now used for dark brew
Ogogoro - Local gin or liquor
Mumu - ignoramus
Kilode - What is wrong?
Tokunbo - conceived abroad but now used for imported second hand cars
Kini - What is that?
Egbon - elder sibling but now used for any form of authority

Gbedu is purely Yoruba!!!.. Gbedu is a drum made from gedu wood (igi gedu)
Ajebo is purely Yoruba coined into Pidgin

Wahala is an Hausa word but found its way into Yoruba dictionary.. Just like some French word like etc, that found its way into English language.

Hemanwel:
Then,he should have stated that in Yorubaland,respect for elders is on conditions.Or that Yorubas don't give respect to elders from other tribe..I wouldn't have bothered exposing your double standards..

I think its a general knowledge that respect is reciprocal

I am from ile ife, mother from iseyin
Or isn't that enough to be Yoruba?
Or is it because i'm not Supremacist like you? LOL

And where and when have I claimed supremacist We are here to get educated. If you stay put with fallacy for whatever reason, so be it. Remember I said this isn't about senseless ego but education. Being brother to Ooni doesn't mean you know it all, there's more to learn.

This should clear the air concerning Gbedu

What you stated is not fact dear.
Gbedu is neither pidgin nor song.

Gbedu is Drum and its Yoruba and not pidgin.

Omo hausa ni mi o. Ba ni kidi, mallam.. If yoruba no dey inside song now, e no dey sell!

Maaan shut the fvkkk up! You just scatter the whole thread with spit. You're actually the one suffering from inferiority complex but trying to mask it with "indomitable shitgbo tribe and blah blah

Indomitable ko, super strikas ni

Nobody mentioned shitgbo on this thread. Even if no one is thinking about y'all, you will always block the whole space with your dinosaur heads.

And superyogo boy, take it slow. No one is thinking about you or interested in your phantom competitions . C'mon you are shitgbo!

He does not know that Gbedu is a type of traditional drum used in the olden days in the Yoruba land, the percussion is so technical. Well, he can never know, he belongs to the indomie generation. Let him ask Lagbaja, Omo baba mukomuko.

Tell that castrogee to swear with his career if he doesn't use most of those words on social media. This is what we Yorubas call "abosi". Castrogee is an "alabosi". Though the ibos too are trying to catch up o, but they no fit. Cos, we always keeping it real in the west side. #omoyorubawenodeycarrylast. tmxme

Baba, you be Yoruba bastard be that. Gbedu is a name of one of Yoruba drums.

haffaze777:


Point of correction gbedu is yoruba word as well as ajebo, gbedu is a particular drum in yorubaland.ever heard of dis idiom?Orin ki la nko si gbedu?translated as which song do we sing to gbedu?.ajebo is mixture of yoruba and English,it is ajebutter means someone who eat butter,pray tell me how it's pidgin

thank you my bro, that is what i quickly want to tell him that Gbedu is a type of big drum used for big festival in Yoruba land and mostly the 'OMO' tree is used in carving the drum, the yoruba proverb goes- 'opo igi ni nbe nigbo ki a to fi igi OMO gbe Gbedu' translated there are lots of tree in the forest, but only the Omo tree can be used to carve Gbedu drums.
Problem is that there are lots of youngsters on internet platforms that make all manners of statements without really knowing much, it makes people like me to want to keep off and rather watch.

The funniest part of it all, is that these days most Nigerians use 20-25% Yoruba words in their everyday pidgin and language usage without even knowing it.

With the special position Lagos has in Nigeria, it is not uncommon to find non-Yorubas who were born in or have lived in Lagos who speak Yoruba. The guy you met must have definitely lived in Yoruba land before moving back to the East. However, it is rare to find an Igbo person born and bred in Igboland who 'speaks Yoruba'. Likewise meeting someone in Yoruba land who speaks fluent Igbo, there is a strong chance the person was born or spent some of their years in Igboland.

Lagos is actually a linguistically weak Yoruba city. A good proportion of Yorubas in Lagos themselves can't speak the language well like a true native should. All other Yoruba settlements however are repping 100%, including those all around Lagos.
There are also Igbos in the North, but I think Yoruba as a whole manifests itself more in Nigerian popular culture than any other lingo.
I think this is because Yorubas share both conservative linguistic/cultural tendencies and western wider/global outlook, which gives them the ability to (1) retain their language and keep it virile (2) propagate it by infusing it into progressive western motivated culture.

I remembered during my national service, one of my housemates was arguing with me that 'oga' is an Ibo word! It took a long time to lecture her that it was originated purely from Yoruba. Yoruba is a very interesting language indeed. Though we do not have that power to choose where we belong but I love being a Yoruba.

we respect ppl, God himself knws that. But if u don't respect urself, then take what comes to u. So when she talked jargons about him just cos she wants to make money, he should prostrate for her cos we have respect. U no use ur sense b4 u talk. Have u ever bent down to great ur parent or any elderly person b4?. we were thought in such manner unlike you ppl. But if u cross ur boundary, we will drag u in the mug. Get that. Ur linda was the reason wizzy boy dragged her in the mug.

One language in nigeria that I really love so much.
It took me less than 6 months to learn Yoruba during my NYSC.
