Am of the opinion that Ami ohun is complicating the Yoruba language. Hausa language is widely used for writing because it has a simpler writing format. I think, Yoruba language needs a simpler form of writing that would do away with the Ami ohun, so readers can easily pick the meaning of the word at sight.

Yoruba language should be easily written by it speakers, then one day science would be taught in it.

The best caption should be, '20 photos that show animals that are bigger than THEY SHOULD '


But then, did you know that the weight of a fully grown blue whale is equivalent to the combined weights of 20 fully grown African elephants.

'Nature akhbar' indeed!!

Benin City is a reserve of rich traditions and high reverence for the traditional monarch (Oba of Benin), who once led a powerful Empire.
One of such traditions is the habit of
addressing the Oba of Benin by various
appellations instead of his actual names as sign of deep respect and awe. It is no wonder, therefore, that the Oba of Benin
is known by several appellations.

Such appellations are:
Ovbi' Umogun Oza
The Child of the Oba whose mother hailed from Oza

Ovbi' Ekpen N' Owa
The son of the home leopard

Ovbi' Adimila
The son of Adimila

Ikeji Orisa
Second in command to the gods

Agbaghe, N'Ovbi Olokun
Olokun's son, the cynosure of all mortals

Abieyuwa N'Ovbi Odua N'uhe
The son of the wealthy Odua of Uhe(Ife).

Ovbi' Ada, Ovbi' Eben
The child of the owner of the Ada =
scimitar and Eben = royal sword, Edo
symbol of sovereignty.

Ovbi'Ekenekene ma deyo
The son of beauty that never fades.

Ovbi'Ekuaho N'Olo, Ovbi'Ekuabo N'Olo
The son of the rocky arm, the brave and
powerful

Ovbie Ikpinhianbo kpuru no Gb'oduma
The son of the short fingered man that
was still able to kill a lion

Nohien utete no gh'ughe s'omwan
The king on a hill, who sees more than
everybody

Ovbi'Oghonwan nei bun aro
The son of the fearless, who looks
without twinkling his eyes

Ovbi'ode, ode n'ohan ren mu' ete
The son of the warrior whose enemies
got frightened at the announcement of
the approach

Uku Akpolokpolo
The mighty that rules

Ovbi' Adolo no dolo uwa dolo utomwen/b]
The son of the wise judge and peace
maker who combined wisdom and
wealth with long life
[b]
Ovbi' oven owie no gbaisi
The son of the morning sun that covers
everywhere

Ovbi' Akpogunla, ogie no y'igho b'owa
The child of the womb of Akpogunla - the
warrior who fought big wars and built a
house of cowries

A king that is god

Ovbi' otolo n'olomi; Ologberonmwon nei rie iruen, ebo, ayemwinre eminiminimini
The son of the water controller, the son
of beauty itself, the starter of things and
the person whose reign saw people with
many tongues


These appellation are in cognissance of
the greatness of the Omo n'oba ne edo,
the Oba of Benin.

so touching knowing that he lost both arms while trying to escape..
dont know why is it that whenever i see this sets of animals, i do think if Charles darwin is right about his evolution dogma in his book "the origin of the species"...
the question i keep asking is that if we truly evolved from apes, then why do humans stopped evolving??
pls before you attack me with the story of creation, jus have it in mind that am thinking as a rationalist and a follower of Descartes and spinoza..

If I read the Yorubas correctly, the Oba title was initially met for lesser kings and somehow their superior kings are now using it. It's like the Oba of Benin changing his Oba title to Ogie.

If this is not an attempt to twist logic on it's head, then I don't know what it is.

The reason everyone from baale, ewi, Ooni, Awujale, etc, who are on the same level to Old Benin empire equivalent of Eleko, Ogiame, Ogiegor are now switching or adding the Oba to their original title is to pretend to elevate themselves to the singular enviable position of the Oba of Benin.

The original and only true Oba is the Oba of Benin, others currently using the title are copycats doing so for the prestige the title has earned for close to a thousand years as the title of Oba of Benin.

Before 1940, none of these senior Obas in Yoruba land used that title, but in less than a century, they have completely appropriated the title to themselves to the extent of even now claiming ownership and origin of the title.

The Oba title is completely being desecrated in Yoruba land by every Tom, dick and harry chiefs who now referred to themselves as Oba. These people hardly know the respect such title carries in it's original birthplace of Edo.

No single chief or Enogie within the Benin kingdom dear add the Oba title to their original title the way the Yoruba baale, ewi and chiefs are doing. Their lack of respect for the title shows that they borrowed it and don't fully understand it's significant.
