Nah. Read your history books very well. The Yorubas were/are cowards who played snitches, spies and saboteurs (ie Awolowo) to the FMC during the Civil War and after. Only Benjamin Adekunle was brave enough to go to war and I will tell you why. Adekunle was born in Kaduna. His father was a native of Ogbomosho, while his mother was of the Bachama ethnicity (Adamawa). He underwent secondary education at the government college, Okene (now known as Abdul Aziz Atta Memorial College, Okene, in present-day Kogi State). He enlisted in the Nigerian Army in 1958 shortly after completing his school certificate examinations. He never lived in yorubaland but up north. Adekule is a yoruba man by name but hausa by bred, upbringing and undisputable maternal affiliation. No purebred yoruba man can go to a fight singlehandedly or collectively talk much of going to war.

They should remove "teria" and leave "buka" for us. I grow up to hear people called my mother "mamabuka" and my elder brother "Femibuka", because my mother had a local Restaurant in our town, in the 70s and early 80s where people could eat to their satisfaction, at a very affordable price.
Every Nigerian (especially Yoruba) knows what a buka is, which one is "bukateria" it's a new coinage that has no real meaning.

Far back in the early eighties the university of Ifé (now Obafemi Awolowo university) has food selling pavilions referred to as Bukateria. Yes, in the early eighties I saw this while on multiple visits to siblings studying on campus.

That when I first heard the word grin

What are you high on? The topic here is Benjamin Adekunle sir! And don't forget, in Akinrinade's own words, Adekunle posted him and Alabi Isama out of his headquarters because they were sabotaging his efforts. Read history.

Never forget this, the hurriedly put together Biafra troops with little or no warfare preparation and no concrete STRUCTURE took on the already formidable federal troops and advanced up to Ore in Ondo state. Had it not being for your your inbuilt sabotaging nature, we all know what history would have been. Keep hating on the Igbos, who pass u don pass u.

So,it was Adekunle and his yet to be formed 3rd marine commandos that stopped Biafran soldiers at Ore?No warfare preparation and no concrete STRUCTURE and you went to war? How did it end?Futility of wars is known to the Yorubas than others because they fought more wars and understood displacement and refugees problems associated with it. Is it not better to jawjaw than to war?

Migrants from wars established towns like Ibadan and Abeokuta.Google to check several wars fought by pre colonial Yoruba and how powerful towns were made desolate

The yorubas can not fight a war,you know as well as I know. Don't mistake communal and indigenous wars for national warfare.

I don't really know what you are high on also. You said no yoruba man has the gut to face war except Adekunle that was brought up in the north like you said. I mentioned Akinrinade and you are capping bahubali.

What's Bukateria?

It is Buka.

Don't coin, reform, reframe or rearrange it in anyway. It's as simple as BUKA.

Baba, there's bukateria, there's even buka cavity.

Though, I know not your age but it's a wonder you've heard buka and never heard bucateria. It has been in existence since the 80s. Infact, it was common among the elites.

I didn't say I don't know was bukateria is, my point is if they want to have a new word in the English lexicon, it should be "Buka" not "Bukateria"

Bukateria has been in existence for long. Back in my university days in the late 90's we used the word frequently. Maybe it was not popular in some cities but in Benin city, we know bukateria

No sir, Akinrinade lived under the shadows of Adekunle and he also like every other yoruba man was afraid of war thus the paper he drafted alongside his cohort in Aba to quickly end the war and run back home.
