Macof is a fraud but also a very very brilliant liar, he will pan the axiom of discussion away from public glare and impose what he wants them to see. You are no match to such in their business.

I'm not surprised at his summarily dismissal of the book you cropped from the post I earlier shared. He read it there and came here to react to it in his braggadocio superfluous manner. So full of pride.

He disparaged a classic written in the best eloquence and style that is about the best in the trade even till date, as our crop of writers may not have written Yoruba prose in this fashion.

Out of sheer lack of perception he couldn't see what he doesn't know. I didn't see the points I listed out to him in the book either, but the style and the prose is clear indication of reasons for the penmanship.

The man is only looking for diacritics, not to learn. Now who will belittle a classic for the the reason that it lacks diacritics when the book is pleasure to read and understand?

Afoun pamo nii sami ona: it's only a man that cannot read without diacritic who will have problems with such work. That shouldn't be a Yoruba man who can read Yoruba language.

Now, I've keyed his error of judgement to his post, but then he's clever. He tries to sneak in your stuff as the point I'm referring to as him being a destroyer of what he doesn't understand.

That's manipulative things these guys do. But nevertheless, he's profiling his personality here and possibly, the circus band are not many as they used to be. Worn out of valid insights.

He uses dictionary for his Yoruba, he can't see what you are seeing. I came to realize it eventually. It's a compression of linguistic ideas into a single or double vowel sounds.

If they have a spirit of discernment, they will be able to grasp the intricacies responsible for what you are pushing for. They don't have a way to explain the phenomenon, just diacritics.

Pick what is useful bro, let's move forward.
gringrin cheesy.

I use dictionary for my Yoruba? . Is that supposed to be an insult?
If that's your problem why not start using dictionary for your own Yoruba to confirm things when you need to?
Why not tell Olu who relies entirely on his nonsense dictionary to get a better dictionary? Or just tell him to not rely on any dictionary since his failures come from the dictionary he is using.

You are such a fraud. grin earlier you were teaching Olu about diacritics and how ọ̀rọ is wrong, he told you right back that he's not going to learn anything from you. Now you are defending the same thing you said was wrong only just a few posts above.
When I first came in to correct Olu, you instantly defended his wrong diacritics without thought.
When you realised he was embarrassing himself you decided to change course and tell him the truth.. But you are still angry that I corrected him at all?
Are you not insane?

You are a clown cheesy
You are trying hard to bring me back to having time for you. But no, I'm too busy and you are not worth my time.

nice one. The only reasons why our leaders are getting things the wrong way is majorly because of bad advisors and Godfatherism. With the right people to guide them I think this country can still stand back up.
Omo, goodluck to everybody.

u are right. Just look at the states on this rule in this country, they are the major problems of this country. Let me then put it to you... What do you think can be done to reduce if not eradicate crime in this country??
Education - in form of exposure, knowledge and skill acquisition
Invest in people - give loans to people with ideas, support small businesses
Build good psychology clinics and facilities, many criminals have psychological problems
Derive laws from cultural principles, let them feel natural to the community as cultural thought patterns.
Incorporate cultural studies in schools which would include learning about morality, law and legal punishment
Have proper criminal statistics, know where and what crimes are most prevalent and deal with those areas as a priority.
Train and equip law enforcement properly. Nigerian police have bad attitude and poor skill.

In some way he is right.. With all the atrocities happening on daily basis if all these bandits, bokoharams, thieves, kidnappers, and assassins are killed immediately after being caught may be that can reduce crime in this country.. And if a hand I'd being cut off all because of embezzlement maybe that can reduce the cat of corruption among our leaders .. If one scrotum is removed from a rapist maybe it will reduce the act. If one breast is being cut off from that of a married woman for having extra marital affair and one scrotum from the man may be it Will reduce it.... If one hand is removed maybe it will reduce cyber crime, maybe if two fingers are cut off, examination malpractices will reduce some goes for bribe collection. Only God knows what can stop all these acts....
NB. I am never in support of Islamic rule for this country.. If u look at it from another perspective u will see that the states on Islamic rule have the major problems in this country ranging from high poverty rate, Ghost workers under govt, using of minors for elections, most populated area in the country, most disease combating areas in the country.. The problem now is that these people's problems are gradually becoming a problem for everyone cos they they are no longer committing these atrocities in their states anymore, they have taken it to other region which is not good for everyone. If a bandit, kidnapper or bokoharam, herdsmen is being killed for their actions instead of being pardoned I don't see anything bad in that oo but as for El Zakasay or whatever he is being called he can never get that chance.. So he should just forget it
Islamic rule will not do anything about embezzlement.
Your laws will come from authoritarian rulers, to challenge them would be viewed by many as challenging the will of Allah.

With Islamic rule, rape victims are even at more risk than the rapist. Then will come issue of "why were you alone without guidance of a man?"
"why didn't you scream loud enough?"

You wouldn't want Islamic rule. Citizens of countries that have that are worse than Nigerians

[s] You love to bring down anything you don't understand.

Sparingly using diacritics, and you don't observe the tone of the prose that the writer is an ardent, eloquent and a man versed in Yoruba linguistic aesthetics?

Closing with the kind of remarks at a piece of literature that's aa old as you can see implies that you are intellectually blurry, and neither Yoruba nor an expert.

*His work is not targeted at learners. It's not Alawiye.

*He only apply tone at a word that has some stress intellectual wise as easy guide.

*It's the ideal way to write for the elite Yoruba knowing that they are adept already.

*He's not Oxford University Press.

How could a bookworm miss this details?[/s]
Keep crying on my mentions. You and Olu are nothing but frauds. And time and time again you have exposed yourselves
All this is just damaga control, instead of admitting to his wrong, you are going through corners grin

What is there to understand or "not understand"?
That Olu doesn't know how to write proper Yoruba with diacritics? In your comment above, did you not just tell him he was wrong too?
Oh it's only you that can tell him when he is wrong, when I do it, I am bringing down what I don't understand??
You are a dishonest mad man

I thought you claim you have knowledge of both, since you argue without fact.

But I intentionally stated it when I know you have no knowledge of transliteration which was the reason I mock you with it grin cheesy. So whatever you deem fit,posits .

Meanwhile ọ̀rọ means word in another written book which is same as mine. Proof yours with either dictionary or written books, Mr. professor of diacritics
This is actually nonsense.

It is ọ̀rọ̀.
Do-do.

It seems you can't speak Yoruba? Because you ought to know both vowels are the same tone

Lmao. ọ̀rọ means word
Get your hands on proper Yoruba language books since you can't figure out diacritics on your own and stop arguing nonsense.
You can see the first screenshot avoids writing diacritics in almost every word there, the writer is not familiar with how to write proper Yoruba

A case of blind leading the blind

Al leader can act in our best interest whilst still developing the nation can they not? Give us federalism, draft a new constitution ban open grazing get rid of Sharia law you don't have to be a bad leader to do all these things do you?
That's difficult to achieve without offending the North..
So we still end up with the south doing what they want to do for themselves.. Which are all the things you just listed

But that doesn't move us forward does it? Are you seriosuly saying your willing to live in poverty an the nation stay underdeveloped to prove a childish point?
I get you. But things won't move forward until the North learns to respect the south and that only comes when the south stands its ground.
The south begining to act in its interest is what it has failed to do for decades

[s] Grow up and read books, my dear grin grin grin . So the OOdéayé, Whydah didnt bother you but Judah's part is your problem ? Anyway, read books again to know how the name came to be acquainted with fact.

One of the reason British colonialists, other inquisitive Europeans came was to find the fairytale Hebrews who ought be as white as snow. So part of coming to West Africa was to identify ancient Hebrew.

Well, do you want to read the Ifaodu which posit yoruba have white ancestors or gave birth to some white descendants ?

Paradventure, I am wrong, then I owe you a 4eyed kolanut. What will you give if I am right nkọ ? angry angry cheesy
