If I don't know the names of those animals in Yorùbá, that of cheetah will make me to disagree with you. Ọwáwa is not cheetah. Ọwáwa only move at night. And cry like a dog while cheetah cry like cat. 6 Likes 1 Share |

ThatFairGuy:This is a toad and it’s inedible. The one in the second pic is a frog which is the one we eat. Toad is the one most of us referred to as frog which is incorrect because the one which we eat is the one that’s a frog. 1 Like

Donaldoni: How would they know when most Yoruba's are still iliterate and all they do is go to the nearest coco farms till they die ,yorubas who cant even speak pidgin or English ,its just a little gap that makes yoruba and hausa different in Nigeria both are ridiculed with poverty states Modify... Lol,who cares if Yoruba dont know we exist Everyone reads our history outside the shores of nigeria We are visibly recognized internationally for our sophisticated history and artworks Nigeria practise the left over of our history A country took upon the name of the great empire Our food egusi and pounded yam is a general delicacy in nigeria The nigeria attire is not complete until you wear the Benin red coral beads Lets not go deep about how our culture as eaten deep in Yoruba history If Nigeria was to divide today we will survive on our own and also decide to ecompass Yoruba's amongst us since they had always been under the Benin rule That statement you made up there simply arosed from bigoted pride..and nothing truthful about it If you can tell me what the yorubas had used to surpass edo in the past and present Then i will take you serious untill then All you said was formed from lies |
