M serving in Igbo land but seriously I don't feel like I am away from home. Cos we have influenced everything from music to meeting igbos that are fluent in Yoruba and appreciated the fact that we speak our language with this "Bleep restriction" mentality. Omo Yoruba to the core.

The only language that gives and show respect to elders and others.... "Yoruba lo ni asa" In Yoruba culture, a well brought up Yoruba person should respect /greet all individuals irrespective of their age even babies.

Like when Wizkid,25,respected Linda Ikeji,35,right?Why always speaking with both sides of your mouth?Your hypocrisy in Yoruba land stinks to high heavens!

Nice

But please don't claim pidgin words as yoruba.

SONG IN YORUBA IS ORIN

GBEDU is pidgin

Thanks

Ajebo gotten from Ajebutter is also pidgin

Then again, wahala is hausa which further derived from wahl an
arabic word which means trouble.

Ajebo is of Yoruba origin! aje = "to eat", that is Ajebo = he/she who eats butter!

But OP, 'wahala' is not Yoruba o, it is a borrowed word by Yoruba from Hausa!

Hahah, this is not about supremacy fight, those two words Gbedu and Ajebo are actually Yoruba. You see what the thread is about? Youraba words that have become common use and you think its pidgin. A little research will help you.
