What about Afonja...?

Afonja is the name of a warrior who once lived and was assasinated in kwara.i wonder why nLDERS call yoruba people that name.

Who go wake up this sleeping thread

NigeriaBam:
I need Yoruba name for "Toad"

Toad is konko, sorry I don't know any better way to write it.

Opolo is frog

My yoruba brothers wouldn't accept we taught them yoruba language inother not to teach them the Royal benin language

Crocodile is Oni

Kudos to researcher.

Akurakuda is crocodile not shark

Akurakuda is shark..

Crocodile is ooni

Nice one

Opolo is frog

Opolo is konko because frog is the edible one while the nasty one is toad.

Zebra is Egbin. Kekete Abila is descriptive.

waoh! educative..

very good

NigeriaBam:

And English name for "Opolo"

Toad is Akere or Konko

Frog is Opolo

Lokospirit:



Crocodile is Oni' not Akurakuda'
Akurakuda is Whale not Shark.

Crocodile is both oni and Akurakuda.

If you listen to Barrister song “Reality”, he made mention of:

Be so ra yin da Akurakuda, toloyinbo n pe ni crocodile”
(If you turn yourself to Akurakuda that the Englishmen call crocodile).

loveliveshere:

Toad is konko, sorry I don't know any better way to write it.

Opolo is frog

Toad is also Akere

So monitor lizard isn't Antaa. I have always been calling it Antaa.

I was confused too. Barrister used that in one of his songs... Akurakuda t'oloyinbo n pe ni crocodile...

Ìkan and Ikamudu are not the same.
Ikan as translated here is termite BUT Ikamudu is different. Ikamudu is bigger and black. Anywhere just one Ikamudu is, there is always some kind of foul odor.
Termites bites but Ikamudu stings (dreadful, I never came near it, except I want to kill it)
I need to know Ikamudu's correct English name.
Good work, though.

Ọ̀nì and not Ooni

I wanted to see just Amotekun to confirm

There are no tigers in Africa though, so I wonder how yoruba of olden days had a name for it.

Ekolo

Poor you! Did you know Yoruba remained official language in Benin Palace until politics, pride and prejudice entered?

Konko= toad
Opolo= frog

Obokun::: shark

nlPoster:
There should be a dictionary somewhere describing these things.

I agree

This question would have been cleared if you will swallow your pride and pick a benin history book to read
