Same words but different meanings. am proud to be Africa, am proud to be 9ja and i'm proud to be

Nah! Charm and Medicine is pronouced as "Oogun" with the mark do, do, do. Not Ogun...its double o

Stab is pronouced as "O gun" its two separate words

and Sweat is correct but different from ogun...as you can see, its Five letter word.

Aagun is a currupt form of yoruba. The right word is Oogun.

Aagun Originate from describing someone that is sweating... "la Oogun" now written in short form as "Laagun" and its where the word " aagun" is derived from.
