The only word you can describe as Yoruba is agbero and area boys, the rest do not originate from there.

Chikeluba25:
Give Yorubas their flower on this one... Just that e get as e be say nah negative word all of them be... Is this what Nigeria have to sell to the world? No just that the white and their superiority complex will gladly push everything negative about Nigeria to spotlight.

Cleanworld:
So no other good words except this ones.

femi4:
Are dictionaries meant for only good words

How does this make Yorubas anything nearly like the oyinbos who publish the Oxford dictionary?
Is it in law and order or in the provision of water to all buildings in the six Yoruba states

Which one is proudly Yoruba, When it's Igbo diction,word?

MadamVanessa:




I saw one clown above gloating over this. I don't see these words as Yoruba words anymore, these words are used virtually by all Nigerians , even in other African countries too. These words are more like Nigerian creole language (pidgin). Those words were not added to oxford dictionary because it's Yoruba words but because of high percentage of speakers using it daily.

Please don't let your inferiority complex makes you think that you've achieved anything on this. It's just a normal thing. I cant even count the numbers of Swahili words and other languages words that have made it way to oxford dictionary yet the speakers don't make a fused.

I expect the land of PhD holders to behave more maturely.

Irrespective of political affiliation omoluabi is always proud of his heritage.

You are fond of derailing thread with all your hate filled posts

Umuinyioku:
Stop your misinformation. They're not Yoruba words. Spoken across breath and length of the country. Just like OMUGWO word for post ante natal care for woman who got delivered.
