Some of the words are not exactly as you wrote them. Moreso, most of them has different tonal inflections, thats is why there is the yoruba signs ( Aami) that indicate how those words should be pronounced, to as to get the correct pronunciation and meaning. Without the signs, the meaning could be lost

aanumama:
Owo (Hand)
Owo (Broom)
Owo ( Town in ondo)
Owo ( Respect)

Looking at the correct spelling of most of the words we've all mentioned so far, we will see that not all have the same spelling in the real sense, considering the signs, syllables and stress that comes with each word.
Imagine @kekakuz comparing Owo (money) and Owo (Hand) it so far apart and that is the uniqueness of YORUBA language

.

Owo (hand) and owo (broom) do not have d same sign.

My dear Ishilove, why do you hammer away at me this way? Please I did not mean any harm o and for your info, I am Igbo and not Yoruba... Forget the Yoruba names I used to create that fake facebook profile with which I sent you that message.

I apologise for the tone of the message, i will send you another one very soon. You’re my own sister and I mean no harm at all. Please withdraw all those curses....
