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
You're just a drowning man clinging to straws cheesy cheesy

Add diacritics to soro (speak)
Irunmole (thousand deities / inumerable deities)

Let's see how it goes lmao

Since you are so much interested in screenshots as proof of your ignorance, be my guest
Do not bring such incoherent with Dictionary's diacritics . Even online dictonary does not agree with your false ọ̀rọ̀ rather with mid tone on it ,and posit as ọrọ grin grin grin . Show us a dictionary to proof yourself as I had done.

Why do you keep repeating the same thing all over again and again. Your dictionary that you just posted now has no diacritics, I repeat the one you posted before now also has no diacritics on all the words, how then do you want to claim that this dictionary is reliable for diacritics? It could be reliable for meaning of word but not for diacritics

Stop repeating the same thing over like a broken record

It's very obvious the guy doesn't have a full grasp of the Yoruba diacritics.

Either that or he's someone who was born and grew up in Yoruba land but not native to Yoruba.

I used to have a friend called Vincent from Delta state who was very fluent and can read and write Yoruba very well. In fact, he had A1 while I had B3 in Yoruba Language in WASSCE although he was no match when it comes to speaking, reading and writing of Yoruba language.

You can not learn by holding on to what you had and never ready to look into other things. Give the basis for your hard copy dictionary diacritics. Your dictionary ignored other words which my biblical writeup did not ignore yet you hold on to your fraud just to save face. Olodo

Olu317 is delude, he has an idea in mind and that's why he always hold on to the fraud he presents. He has a way of writing words to suit his preconceived ill idea. Misrepresenting words is deliberate, not an error

What diacritics was on Ilorin? Otito? Wipe? Etc
You still haven't made any sense with this yiur gymnastics


Less I forget, you asked for transliteration and not translation lol grin
Like what the fvck is transliteration of words that were written in the alphabets that both of us are familiar with? Do you actually want the nonsense you wrote to be transcribed into Chinese or Arabic alphabets? Olu317 why do you always jump around whenever you are called out? Answer questions without changing topics, stop muddling things together
Olu317, why have you not responded to these words in bold?

Explain what Aguda means in your dialect and translate it.

I finally found out that the first catholic mission in Nigeria established in Lagos was established by missionaries from Lyon France implying that the missionaries were French men and they were the ones initially referred to as Aguda in the saying Aguda o je labe Geesi use Owo mi ni mo nje!. It therefore means The French are not being fed by nor are they serving under the British, I eat from my own labor. The Aguda in the saying appear to mean French since the first Catholic missionaries were French.

There were two sets of Returnees

Brazilian with Portuguese names Catholic names E.g. Pedro Da Silva Cardoso Marinho =Aguda

Krio. =Saro or Sierra Leone Returnee with English names. e.g. Rhodes, Coker, Williams, Smithand Protestant backgrounds =Geesi=English


Both were Returnee groups, Christian groups with exposure to European technologies


In Colonia Lagos the Geesi were civil servants, lawyers etc Their secondary School CMS was first in Nigeria

The Agudas were craftsmen and did blue collar work building many Portuguese style buildings in Lagos

There was class war between them and the usual I get money pass you beef

The Agudas arguably had more money even if they might not have been as educated as the Geesi
One of them Da Rocha was acclaimed as the richest man in Lagos or Nigeria at the time

So
Aguda o je labe Geesi ise owo wa la n je
is reported as an Aguda response to uppity Krios in Colonial Lagos
