Ajao means mugu,adio means mr ibu.

dddaaayyyooo: Ok, thanks to all who gave me d name to a boy with BB, So what of this boy, what will yoruba call him

maybeeee lapilomo or for full lapilomonlolatinu.

Nope! I surfice to disagree. Inioluwa means HERITAGE OF THE LORD (Omo ni ini oluwa = children are the heritage of the Lord).

Lolaabokoku:
Inioluwa or niniola?
Anyway inioluwa means I have God
Meanwhile niniola means å child that. Brings wealth..

"KOSOKO" or "K'o si oko" : "there is no hoe" is rather a warning or a plea to the potential abiku/ogbanje. It implies that if the abiku decides to die, there will be no hoe to dig a grave. The implication is that it's body will have to be thrown into the forest. Its soul will therefore never find rest. Don't do it kiddo!

Hey moderators, I find this absolutely annoying! Why was i banned from this thread and culture section as a whole?? You guys just killed my fun. I was about writing about oriki when i discovered i've been banned. My post about oruko abiku was also removed and hidden! For what?! Tell me why i was banned and why i wasn't even graced with a simple notification?

@everyone who commented. Thanks for your input and comment. I wish i could've answered your questions yesterday.

egregous:
Thank you very much. It's good to know.

Wrong please, TOLULOPE means TO GOD BE THANKSGIVING. It is a short name of TOLUWALOPE. But To GOD BE GLORY is TOLUWALOGO.

I'm not Yoruba, but i love this! @Op. Well done!
