ChiefOloye: 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 |

Teeklef: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. |

Chokehold: 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 1 Like |

GanagiBitrus: And you've never heard the word "bukateria" before? |
Re: Bukateria, A Nigerian Pidgin Term Enters Oxford Dictionary by Nobody: 7:53am On Nov 02, 2023 |
tommy589:The yorubas can not fight a war,you know as well as I know. Don't mistake communal and indigenous wars for national warfare. |
Re: Bukateria, A Nigerian Pidgin Term Enters Oxford Dictionary by Teeklef(m): 7:55am On Nov 02, 2023 |
Chokehold: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. 1 Like |

ChiefOloye: 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. |

Tetraozonaitera: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" 1 Like |
Re: Bukateria, A Nigerian Pidgin Term Enters Oxford Dictionary by xjiggy: 8:33am On Nov 02, 2023 |
ChiefOloye: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 |
Re: Bukateria, A Nigerian Pidgin Term Enters Oxford Dictionary by Nobody: 8:35am On Nov 02, 2023 |
Teeklef: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. |
