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. 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.

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"

That's awesome, it's another perspective entirely which is good, but that can only be if the word being "lexicograde" is just been coined to serve a new global need.

But if not, it's already a lexicon in Yoruba, Hausa and pidgin, it's not a new word, it's of the same value as English "canteen". Would Oxford want to replace canteen with buka?

Buka, bu, ka: take readings as you are putting it. So the word has always been and etymologically enshrined. What can get it anglicized is the sufix, not the prefix, buka.

If there is Oxford Yoruba dictionary, buka is already an entry by default. Buka, bukata, bulala, bulu...etc. if you are first to invent something and you call it your name, nobody can change that.

They were not doing anyone a favor but updating their lexicon after the last update.

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

Are you saying the civil war that collapsed Oyo Empire, that was bigger than present day England (Country) was not national war?

Adekunle Fajuyi,who chose to die with his guest Aguiyi Ironsi is also a Yoruba coward? The coup plotters came for Aguiyi Ironsi. In the spirit of Omoluabi,and never to label Yoruba as cowards or collaborators,he insisted he will die along with his guest.

Is it Wole Soyinka, that's now a coward.
Incarcerated and spent almost two years in solitary confinement,because he was going all over and bringing the world's attention to the plights of biafrans

And who has war helped?

And you've never heard the word "bukateria" before?
Honestly I haven't, & I'll prefer to stick with Buka which is more widely known.

Buka is a Yoruba word not hausa.

ChiefOloye:
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.

Nigerians have a tendency to anglicise their native languages to feel better about themselves.

Kelechi is Kaycee;
Temilola is now Temmy;
Bassey is now Baci;
Akara is beancake. Heck! It's not even a cake as it's just deep-fried bean pudding; but why complicate it when you can just call it "akara"?
