Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by godfatherx: 8:14am On May 26, 2018 |
femi4: You are my name sake and Femis are always smart, don't fall my hand pls. Yoruba language, culture and traditions are older than the era of Zoos, and there's only one zoo (animal reserve) where you can find a tiger in Africa - It's in South Africa. 2 Likes |

godfatherx:Mumu, You probably didn't know that the vocabularies keep getting large from century to century. |
Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by godfatherx: 8:25am On May 26, 2018 |
femi4:Keep it up! So "ekun" is a new vocabulary. I won't use abusive words on you |
Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by femi4: 8:26am On May 26, 2018 |

Mcy56:When you share posts the Op knows that you shared his / post. Unlike like that is not shown. The way Nairalanders are mouthed, somebody when you argue with someone whose posts you often share can accuse you of stalking I do not expose myself to such. Too many disrespectful kiddies on Nairaland. |
Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by Tokziby: 10:30am On May 26, 2018 |
godfatherx: If u claim Leopard = Ekun, then what is Amotekun?? It's true that there is no Tiger in Africa except in the zoo but u can never write out the possibility of its existence in Africa cos of its given name Ogidan/Ekun. Remember the Yoruba Adage that says' aja Ti Oba re Ile Ekun to Bo... Were they referring to Leopard, tiger or lion? Bro think about it... |
Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by Mcy56(f): 1:22pm On May 26, 2018 |
AreaFada2:LOL. That means you too like argument and trouble be that. NL is nowadays filled with kids that are just weaned. Their level of reasoning is worrisome Anyway, whatever rocks your boat jor. Have a wonderful weekend. |
Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by 9jakool: 1:25pm On May 26, 2018 |
Tokziby: That adage is reffering to a leopard. Ekun means leopard. It's plain and simple. Amotekun/Jakumo is not a leopard, but an animal that's related to a leopard. It's a type of wildcat. In reality, there is not a traditional word for tiger in Yoruba as they are not indigenous to Africa, but I've seen people use amotekun for tiger. |

Re: Names Of Various Animals In Yoruba Language by Nobody: 10:58am On Aug 06, 2018 |
Sheuns: No Ekun is simply the tiger, the leopard is Amotekun while the cheetah is called Owawa. |
