There is no Tiger in Africa, Yoruba language can't have a word for an animal that was never seen . Ekun is Leopard which is common in africa while Amotekun ( Ekun noni AMO KO TO EKUN gangan) is cheetah. Ajayi Crowther who translated the English bible into yoruba language also referred to Leopard as Ekun ,
Isaiah 11: 6 check both Yoruba and English bible for confirmation.
It is the recent generation who that has been able to see a tiger on TV or Paper that started calling tiger ekun which is wrong..
yoruba has no name for Tiger .
Ekun is leopard.
Amotekun is cheetah.

What did ajagi crowther translated bread into from bible ? He said akara (bean cake )
How old was ajayi crowther when he was taken as a slave ? Too young that's why he called esu , Satan so many blunders of ajayi crowther lives on in mind of dullards like you

There may be blunders in his interpretation but ekun as leopard is not one of them . How do u expain ekun as tiger when you have never seen tiger, how can u have a name for an animal u've never knew exists until the innovations of media such as televisions and magazine Our people started calling tiger Ekun cos of the resemblance when they saw it on media . Almost same reason cheetah is called AMO KO TO EKUN (amotekun)
There is leopard in Africa
There is cheetah in Africa
There is no tiger in Africa

Tiger - ekun
Leopard - amotekun
Cheetah - Owawa (meaning something that moves very fast)

You can argue with your keypad
