ChiefOloye: 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. |

Chokehold: 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? |

Buka is a Yoruba word not hausa. |

ChiefOloye: 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"? |
