Tinubu as a Yoruba name has a meaning just like every other Yoruba names. Yoruba as a tribe don't joke with their names. They named their children according to the event, days and signs of the memorable events of that particular day the child is born. They also give names to a child in relation to the particular gods or deity they worship in the family. Also, often in Yoruba land, when a child is born. They go to Olu ifa, the deity of knowing and seeing the past, present and the future, and this deity will give the child a name that will also determine, guide and propelled that child according to the given names. Yoruba is so rich in culture, values and they have a high ethical and moral standard than any tribe dead or alive. quote author=daniwise post=133636945]When will the word TINUBU make it's way to the OED?what will be the meaning of the word [/quote] |
