This is insightful, I took my time to confirm from Google... I had been using a different name for some animals, also mixing up some of their names, for instance, I used to think Asa is eagle and also call antelopes Oya, but this has enlightened me more, kudos to you OP....

Some of these are incorrect

* Ekun is not Tiger 🐅 , We have no Tigers in Africa
* Hedgehog 🦔 is Líìlíì not Ọ̀yà
* Giraffe 🦒 is Àgùnfọ̀n not Agbanrere
* Mouse 🐁 is Ẹmọ́
* Insect (generic) 🐜 is Kòkòrò
* Cat 🐈 is Ọlọ́gìní quite alright, but Ológbò is more popular/generic.
* Eagle 🦅 is Àwòdì/Ìdì

Ẹkun is tiger.
This name actually existed in some places where Yorubas had once lived.

In all kingdoms in Yoruba land, the cat family identified with kings is Tiger which shows the might of a king. Hence, panegyric such as ọma ẹkun/ọmọ ẹkun .......

Interestingly, Tiger is stronger than Lion in all ramification,which is contrary to the perspective the Western world hold as pointing to Lion as the strongest Cat ,even identified as the strongest animal at a point in time.

Today, Lion is being called the bravest animal when fact has emerged that such view of being the strongest animal in the jungle is seemingly far away from authentic information.

So,the Tiger actually existed time immemorial in Yoruba worldview ,which is the reason name was given to it. There are many things yet undiscovered about Yoruba ethnic history.

Finally,are you aware cat (the smallest in the family )is associated with longevity -longlife ? Elédùmárè will deliver Yoruba people from hatred toward their tradition.

It's been a while since I show up on nairaland. Coming here this morning and seeing this really is disappointing especially coming from someone like you. Ẹkùn is not tiger 🐯 Ẹkùn is rather leopard 🐆. I understand your idea of trying hard to pin and spin the Hebrew connection to Yorùbá but please don't murder the language for the sake of your own revision on history.

Lol! Ẹkùn/Amọtẹ́kùn ? How is this correlated to Hebrew ? You must be sleepwalking .

If you have knack for Classic Hebrew , go study at the university to have a grip on some of the interesting aspects of Yoruboid language unresearched.

And gradually, the reality is fore because some present day Yorubas ancestors migrated from Soudan Belts. grin cheesy wink Some are of Arabs descents and beyond. I mentioned Arabs because these people have been identified.

Infact, Hausas, Tapa/Nupe, Barubas, Kanuris,Fulanis, Ibos, Edos, etc are part of some ancestors of Yorubas. grin cheesy

Who knows? Your patrilineal ancestor might come from a region you do not admire.
So enjoy the reality at hand.

You mischievously see only the criticism of you turning Yorùbá language upside-down by relating the Yorùbá language to Hebrew 😂

You couldn't respond to the fact that you translate Tiger to Ẹkùn which is another attempt at your revisionism. Why not deal with that and leave the ancestors of Yorùbá alone? Why this nonsense at relating them to savages?

Funny lad. How on earth will correct such as your type who is unwilling to see the reality ?

1. In Ifaodu,Tiger is identified as Ẹkun by Arabas. And you are here misleading a lot of people who are not versed in Yoruba tradition? I hope you will stop this pollution.

2. History has it that Africa had tiger lived in it in the ancient past. Besides, if Yoruba ancestors language can be found in Egypt,Near East and still in use as Coptic liturgy in Orthodox Christendom,then I wonder your point!

3. Professor David Reich stated that Yoruba Dna match was found to had existed in Northern Europe 100,000 years ago before divergence. But here you are still behaving as unstudied lad!

4. Where exactly do we have Tiger in modern time if not in four location in the world ? Asia is part and Europe is part of it.

a.These location have been proven to either have Bust that have similar look as Yorubas.

b.Linguistic relationship between Yorubas and ancient people who lived in this area which stretch backward to Egypt.

c. Dna of Yoruba ancestors in Europe also a testimony.


Therefore, all these fact points to the reality that it is not a fluke having such animal which is close knitted knowledge on this animal that represented prowess and most powerful Cat in affiliation to Yoruba royalty is not erroneous..

Advice: Get a good grip of knowledge.And stop wasting your time on pseudo info.

I do not have time to dilly dally. I wonder how to inform your uneducated personality in the manner you are asserting Ẹkùn isnt tiger ? And you even expect me to mention Aràba's name to buttress my point ?

Funny. I do not have to prooof anything beyond common sense!

Contrary to your assertion, Yorubas have stamped linguistic authority in Egypt, Near East . Yet you kept regurgitating assumption as if Yorubas had lived all their lives in West Africa ? The existence of established Animal Husbandary at Ileife is 500 BC.

Is this even near up to existence of linguistic comparison as found to be Yoruboid in Egypt ?

Despite the fact, that certain animals have gone into extinction in Africa , such as Tiger, does it mean such animal hasnt been found in Africa ?

Didnt Africa even cover Near East at a pointi n history ?

But here you asking irrelevant question as to if Tiger was Ẹkùn or even found in Africa at a point in histoy . Yes and Yes, they were once found in Africa.

1. I stated Yoruba ancestors had DNA linked to North Europe,which shows diversity(Professor David Reich and others have proven this)

2. That Yoruba language is found in Near East (formerly part of Africa ) which is found to be spoken by ancient semitic people(among Arabs & Hebrews) which its traces stretch to Egypt as Coptic in the antiquity.

3. That Yoruba animals are smaller in sizes as found in Near East/Asia which differs as compared to African animals with larger stature.

4. That at a point in history Yoruba had contact with all sort of animals including Ẹkùn (Tiger) because they were hunter gatherers!.Hence names were given in descriptive pattern often. Beside,Ẹkùn is revered in Yoruba pantheon even in Ifaodu.

5. That even at a time in history , Tiger were said to had roam Africa, even with evidence which you can find in google search.

Common is, when fact of history have been proven via linguistic connection to proof existence of Yoruba ancestors in Near East, Dna in Northern Europe, which showcase divergence over 10000 years back.

Even Yorubas ancestors as hunter gatherers is not farfetched. Sailors or sea migrants and testimonies of Olokun and others who are seafarers existed in Yoruba ifa corpus.

Your inability to comprehend isnt my fault grin.
It is indeed funny to see such as your type paid deaf ear to pronounced fact.

1. Professor David Reich did Dna research on Yorubas and it was clearly affirmed that ancestors of Yorubas diverged from same bloodline in Northern Europe. Hence, lay your hand on such information if you need it. Kindly do the needed subscriptions for it.

2. Many attimes, I have seen your kind brandishing calamity where such arises not. Linguistically,there are words acclaimed to had been borrowed from Arabs through Islam into Yoruba lexicons. Yet you have never asked reason certain words exists in Yorubas and not in Hausa language.

Hausa language is closer to Islam faith lexicons than Yoruba's but are they linguistically closer to Near East language than Yoruba's ? Hell no!

Interestingly, nearly all loan words into Arabic's Islamic lexicons are derived from Biblical-Roman-Greek doctrine of the ancient Hebrews. cheesy. All Islamic prophets are all ancient Hebrew's prophets.

How on earth would you not see these things ? I guess , you have been brainwashed to null all Africans as Black!

You see, Blacks have degrees of colour and differ from Negroes. Learn the difference. Mulattoes of different degrees were the Negroes of ancient time of Aristotle whom he identified as fearless group of hybrids.

3. So, you do not species of animals differs ? Okay! Let me educate you more. Hausa animals are of Sahel origin and are bigger than Yoruba's. Invariably, they are Bigger breeds of animals are of Africa origin while Near East animals are small in stature as found among Yoruba's. Ask specialists in Animal rearing. grin grin to teach you difference between Africa & Near East animals .

Even before Ilorin embryo , people came from different parts of the world to merged into what is known today as Yoruba people.

If you think all Yorubas were Black Africans without admixture from thousands of years aback, then you must be joking!. Are you aware there are Yorubas who are Berbers, Fulanis,Dende, Sudanese,Ethiopians, Arabs, Semitic people ancestrally ? Ilorin is a case study..

4. Káká ki kíniu ṣe akápo "Ẹkùn"......
Rather a Lion be in servitude to " Tiger"....

Has any other Cat stand face to face to defeat Lion other than Tiger on several occasions ?

Can Leopard stand the fierce of Lion in all ramifications ? Leopard is strong but a slim chance to defeat lion as compared between Lion and Tiger.

5. When one is unenlightened as your kind,it turns to cheap insult...I will post link to Tiger roam Africa to shot your kind up.

6. Is there any word as you claimed as "bursted " undecided undecided ? Anyway, there is nothing you can burst--(ed)
