u see!!! This fvckers don't give a rat ass about Africa.... All they care about is there interest...

I bet they have gotten what they came for...so to hell with africa

I was shocked when I watched him say it too, If you noticed, those French speaking countries are where you have dictators ruling, this is possible because France do support those guys and the reason is France wants some one that will always do their bidding

rowland545:
I know...but they are not doing much to protect the civilians.... They only care about protecting there base

Malcron is already threatening to withdraw French troops if more French soldiers gets killed again

rowland545:
What are the French doing If they can't do much on the war on terror in France then I wonder what they are still doing there...

The sooner Africans begin to realize that the so called world leaders don't give a rat ass about them the better for them....we should begin to look inward for help....but our leaders won't see this they prefare to grow chubby on foreign aids which is another form of slavery

They too have casualties on their side. I just tire for this islamists

That's where you shot yourself.. Some people have been crowned king only because they were born on the soil even though they spent the majority of their lives growing in foreign lands. So I hope it makes sense to you why your supposed king doesn't know the history of his n your land..? There are some whites who picked interest in Yoruba and put themselves into it so much that they know the practices and understand everything more than your Mogaji, how much more you. I've been pointing you to the only comprehensive article on the internet written in pure Yoruba language about Tigers (Ekun) and you've not said anything tangible about it. Probably because you can't even read it. So called Omo Yoruba?

All you were doing is blabbing and running around in endless circles. Drop a reference to butchress your point as I've done and stop telling tales and stories in your dreams.

Answer my questions and leave your creepy internet jargon

aywhy93:
Lol... I'll give you the project topic I did back then in school (in Yoruba) and you wont be able to read the title, let alone comprehend the content. I wont waste my knowledge on you. Come to Institute of African Studies in UI and learn Yoruba. Back to the topic, does it come to your thinking that whatever caused the movements of Yoruba, it doesn't change the fact that they've roamed enough places to have seen a tiger which you claimed they never saw to give it that name, Ekun..?

I have seen some kings in Yoruba land who doesn't even know the history of is kingdom how much more someone like you, when they ask you to look for awo ekun in Yorubaland is it tiger skin they give you or leopard skin also when you go to palaces in Yoruba land what you see is Ekun not tiger. Even if that is too stressful for you, at least you saw when the Aare Onakakanfo was initiated, he wore Awo Ekun and it doesn't look like Tiger skin.

Debaiz:
Picture of wild lion? Are you mentally stable?

If you don’t know the meaning of “wild” then google is your friend now. I’m not your teacher.

You too bring picture of wild goats. Or you want to say there are no wild goats.

Like I said earlier you’re trying to be smart and funny but the actual joke is on you cos it’s obvious your knowledge of the meaning of “WILD” is shallow.

Have a nice day

Debaiz:
You’re trying to be smart and funny but your ignorance is displaying the opposite. Google wild lion then you’d get your picture and information.

Just show us the picture

Hayelomo:
The "amo" in amotekun does not mean "looks like", it is rather " knows as", so amotekun literally means "knows as ekun". If it is looks like, it would be " bi ekun" not amotekun.

I hope you read the post you quoted well

aywhy93:
There's more to history and research than assumptions. The yorubas are known to have a wide historical movements, from Africa to North and South Americas and other countries in different continents, so assuming they have never seen a Tiger to give it that name EKUN is a dumb thought, or you probably think the Yorubas are just those people you see in Lagos, Ibadan and South Western Nigerian.

For even thinking Millions of Indigenous Yorubas who have existed before in the pasts doesnt know what they are doing, or have a wrong nomenclature in their local language shows one is a wise fool. There are enough and undebatable proofs that shows Ekun is tiger and Amotekun is Leopard and so on as stated in my initial post, just do your research. Let me even ask, which department of Yoruba studies in which University have you conducted the slightest research to even think you know anything about YORUBA..? And come up with your blabbing thoughts. You and Op just disappointed your forefathers.

I will school you in Yoruba history, you know absolutely next to nothing. Can you explain with facts the movement of Yorubas to North and south america o and I hope you are not trying to mention slavery,

aywhy93:
Calm down Bro...

A single Hyena just effortlessly stole a Leopard's kill on Nat Geo Wild Right Now.

So you watch Natgeo wild and still think Ekun is Tiger... Did they tell you in Natgeo wild that Tiger is found in Africa let alone Nigeria?

Debaiz:
India has both wild Lions and tigers

But the op has that point they’re not found in Africa but that doesn’t mean the yorubas don’t know the tiger to be a fierce rival of a lion.

Which one is wild lion again can you show us some pictures

aywhy93:
The link I included in my initial post is enough to clear anybody's doubt... But NO, you wont research, read and understand. Only to argue without thinking deeply.

It was stated there that Ekun (in yoruba) is the largest animal in the cat family. Since the Tiger is the largest in the cat family then why will Ekun (in yoruba) be a Leopard which is even much more smaller to a Lion, not to talk of Tiger in size..? THINK!!!

The difference between you and I is, you rely on what someone posted on the internet while I had a first encounter with the hunters. The Tiger been the larger cat in the cat family is peculiar to the whole cat family in the world and not cat family in Yoruba land. The Oluode in Ibadan said that he is still trying to understand why they chose Amotekun instead of Ekun. He even went on to say thag Amotekun looks like Ekun. So does Tiger look Leopard? I repeat we don't have A name for Tiger

aywhy93:
Do your research properly then come back and quote me.

What research again o. Lol Is it me that is vast in Yoruba history or who? by the way how can you have a name for something you have never seen in your life.. Haba reason well nw. Yoruba language is dying and this is the resultant effect

awwfar:
ekun is Tiger mr....think na,
Why would they refer to someone dangerous as Ekun if Ekun is a mere leopard and Tiger is something else..is leopard stronger than a Tiger?

Bro.. Have you encountered Leopard before? you can be a feet close to a Leopard and you won't know. Bro Ekun is not an animal you mes with. Yoruba doesn't have a name for Tiger. This is just misconception that we have carried foe years, I used to think Ekun was Tiger before

aywhy93:
@OP, Demzlent... While trying to show us and impress us that you're a true Yoruba. You were doing the opposite.
@Mods, Lalastica... Please edit the topic on the front page, it's misleading to everyone.

Venerable612 has done justice to the post. He explained exactly the way it is.
So for anyone who really wants to know.

In Yoruba,

Lion is Kìnìún
Tiger is Ẹkùn/Ògìdán
Cheetah is Ọ̀wàwà
Leopard is Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn

PS: For those who care to read, this is a comprehensive article on EKUN (Yoruba Article) - https://wol.jw.org/yo/wol/d/r36/lp-yr/101996845

Thank You!

The OP is right Oga � the venerable guy knows absolutely nothing

nonut:
Senegal parrot and it doesn't talk.
Just makes noises and it's smaller.
It's even 4k not 7k.
The African grey on the other can talk if you buy half grown instead of mature bird.
Like the other guy said, the price range is between 40-50k depending on the area you're buying it.
In the North, its cheap by at least 5-8k.
Dont just buy a parrot because you like the idea.
Buy it because you really want it and can care for it.

So I was almost scammed, thanks for this info o

gregyboy:
Ile binu

Does it sound benin"


Ile ife absolutely dont sound Benin...

Ile( hide) ,nife( to succeed)

No, it sounds French

gregyboy:
Bini is a poutuguese word dont mistake it

Edo is a benin word

See lies o, after now, you will be abusing somebody for lying, imagine!!! Every Ibini person knows that Ibini is Yoruba word, even Ewuare 1 tried in vain to eradicate the name

TAO11:
What about citing the work of the earliest and world-renowned indigenous Benin historian, Chief J. U. Egharevba, whose account shows that Ekaladerhan was exiled to Ughoton where he then lived and died??

Will that be neutral and fair to you?

I don't seem to know any non-Nigerian African historian of ancient Benin.

Moreover, the so-called "whiteman" visited Benin in as early as the late 1400s, and documented some Benin traditions that has formed the foundation of most of their works which I cite.

One of the meany reasons they will never want to accept Jacob Egharevba, was because he never supported their erroneous claim that Oduduwa or Izoduwa or Ekaladehan whom they also call Oronmiyan came from Bini

googi:
Interesting. The Ashanti are also divided into Akhan or they are part of?

I have heard that Akhan part too, i don't know in detail about the Yoruba exploit in Ashanti land but i met a Ghanian some 3 Years ago who claimed that they came from Oyo, i was really shocked that day

MetaPhysical:

Love it!

Yoruba na something else.

Okay I have waited enough, and I am going to answer it

Efesogie:
I can see you lack proper education. For your info, igodomigodo is a fable. Your question doesn't even make sense.

I won't argue with you again . you can say what ever you like to please your self

Efesogie:
It seems you live in a dream world, the Portuguese had no early contact with anybody called Yoruba. Even the name Yoruba is a new name.

Thesame people who saw Sango? They were even the ones who confirmed it in their writings that Sango do spit fire from his mouth .

Did you even know that Herodus - the great Historian wrote about Ile - Ife and how to get there, and also counted it among the great Cities of that time Before Christ.

Efesogie:
So the goal post has been moved ?
And once an other person proves to you the alafin of oyo didn't live his palace, you will move the goalpost again. By the way, "Yoruba land" what in hell is that. You guys live in fantasy !

you didn't prove anything ...i knew that of all Yoruba kings , just not sure about the ones from the South South

Efesogie:
here we go again. I bring facts, the Yoruba guy brings legends, myths...And you want to talk about truth ??
You are the one who doesn't have enough grace to accept facts and truth.

What is your truth and let us hear it please,

by the way who was the first man to bring horse to Igodomigodo

Efesogie:
So towing the Yoruba line makes one a great historian ?

Okay are you also saying the Portugesse also towing the Yoruba line? what exact;y are you angry about?

Efesogie:
Are you not tired of vomitting all these rubbish which you keep posting ?

It is as if you are trying to brainwash some people.
For your information, there is no such thing as etymology of the word Oba. Indeed there is no precolonial dictionary of our region of the world ! All you are doing is just make belief. Also you are not an Egyptologist ! Stop acting as if you knew anything about Egyptology and Egyptology gas nothing to do with Yoruba "history" or rather lack of it.
You just can't be intellectually honest for a second ! And some fools are sheering this troll !??

why not pick out the lies and let us address it one by one, it is on record that all Kings in Yorubaland(not only southwest alone) vacated their throne for the Ooni when he left his Palace, although i am not sure about that of warri and Bini

Efesogie:
The guy is a troll who keeps typing a lot of nonesense and lies

Do you know one great Historian named Jacob(can't remember is bini surname again) who was a Bini man...
