It's very obvious the guy doesn't have a full grasp of the Yoruba diacritics.

Either that or he's someone who was born and grew up in Yoruba land but not native to Yoruba.

I used to have a friend called Vincent from Delta state who was very fluent and can read and write Yoruba very well. In fact, he had A1 while I had B3 in Yoruba Language in WASSCE although he was no match when it comes to speaking, reading and writing of Yoruba language.

Olu317 is delude, he has an idea in mind and that's why he always hold on to the fraud he presents. He has a way of writing words to suit his preconceived ill idea. Misrepresenting words is deliberate, not an error

Olu317:
What dictionary again? Lol. The one I use is my hardcopy mr man and not the softcopy .

Beside, show your own hard copy and soft copy dictionary as I had done. And not some mumbojumbo self glorifying postulation from a quack Bibeli mimọ .

You can not learn by holding on to what you had and never ready to look into other things. Give the basis for your hard copy dictionary diacritics. Your dictionary ignored other words which my biblical writeup did not ignore yet you hold on to your fraud just to save face. Olodo

Thieves everywhere now disguise as UGM. The press is also giving them cover with the so called UGM tag

Nonsense

Please, I need your advice because right now I'm confused about where to go, it's a lifelong decision.

I just turned 34 last month, still living with my uncle, but no pressure on his part is a big house. Currently, I teach in a school where my net salary and my home lesson inclusive are approx. N 100000 a month. I have a master's degree in engineering, so I haven't put that certificate to use. I have a saving of 900k, it will be higher by December. Although it would have been more than that, I lost 400,000 to the detriment of a bad investment. Last two years, I had an illness that struck (ENT related), which doesn't have a cure. One of the symptoms is vertigo (a sensation of feeling off-balance). This made me change my mind about travelling. For a few months now, I haven't had the experience.

I have three thoughts, but I can only do one at a time.

Firstly, leave my uncle's house, get an apartment. Use the rest of the money to start a business as a side hustle while working with the school.

Secondly, leave my uncle's house, get an apartment. Next, I invest my time in a tech skill (web dev, programming or data science).

Thirdly, travel to the US for my PhD program. I have already been preparing for my GRE before now.

Thank you.

Olu317:
Do not bring such incoherent with Dictionary's diacritics . Even online dictonary does not agree with your false ọ̀rọ̀ rather with mid tone on it ,and posit as ọro . Show us a dictionary to proof yourself as I had done.

Why do you keep repeating the same thing all over again and again. Your dictionary that you just posted now has no diacritics, I repeat the one you posted before now also has no diacritics on all the words, how then do you want to claim that this dictionary is reliable for diacritics? It could be reliable for meaning of word but not for diacritics

Stop repeating the same thing over like a broken record

Olu317:
I thought you claim you have knowledge of both, since you argue without fact.

But I intentionally stated it when I know you have no knowledge of transliteration which was the reason I mock you with it . So whatever you deem fit,posits .

Meanwhile ọ̀rọ means word in another written book which is same as mine. Proof yours with either dictionary or written books, Mr. professor of diacritics

You're just a drowning man clinging to straws

Add diacritics to soro (speak)
Irunmole (thousand deities / inumerable deities)

Let's see how it goes lmao

Since you are so much interested in screenshots as proof of your ignorance, be my guest

The diacritics you placed on oro gave it as do - re

Which could mean to wither

You seriously ignorant about Yorùbá language, you speak/write like someone who only get info about the language on paper and not someone who actually speak the language.

What diacritics was on Ilorin? Otito? Wipe? Etc
You still haven't made any sense with this yiur gymnastics


Less I forget, you asked for transliteration and not translation lol
Like what the fvck is transliteration of words that were written in the alphabets that both of us are familiar with? Do you actually want the nonsense you wrote to be transcribed into Chinese or Arabic alphabets? Olu317 why do you always jump around whenever you are called out? Answer questions without changing topics, stop muddling things together

Olu317:
Lmao. ọ̀rọ means word

Why was majority of the words in both of your screenshots not marked? This is how to know that your dictionary is not reliable for diacritics, just that you are too dull to admit it

Olu317:
Give genuine English transliteration and meaning. Solve the riddle.

Transliteration or translation?

Olu317:
Lol. Atleast, it is one of the oldest dictionary of Yoruba language in the world which its production was according to the laid foudation by Rev.Samuel Ajayi Crowther [b][/b] for his contribution. So,thank me later.

LMAO who argue with you that your dictionary is not old? In fact, it is archaic, obsolete and not useful for teaching and learning about the language without proper supervision, know this know peace ✌️

Are these people dumb to this extent what happened to using INEC official buses or government buses? Last time I checked have never seen those Dumbass INEC buses with NURTW written on it or any of the Tout driving it. The only time u see them is when they’re about hijacking the ballot boxes or cause disruption

How many govt buses do you think would be enough to go round almost 1 million polling units?

@Olu, if you stress the last a and put opposing tone, you get a new sound. Egbàá naira, egbewa naira, igba ilopo mewa naira, N2000 naira.

ÀÁ means that the second A will do whatever is next in the sentence: agbatan n làá gbole, báa daso fole a paá laro.

Check the sentence and observe the diacritics. Like rhektor said, if you must stress the word and retain the meaning, it should be the same diacritic, leave politics now, follow the sound.

Igbàá naira will be a misnomer. My advice is, ogbon o digi, okun lafií soó. Subscribe to the standard accent. It's still the Yoruba accent.

Should an imperial Briton write you in Elizabethan English in this age and time, would you have a good time reading it?

But no problem if you won't. It will always cost you the burden of proof.

Probably somebody here is still using his brain and not too arrogant to know and accept what is right, meanwhile Ogbeni Olu317 will still destroy the language with his seemingly correct dictionary

TAO11:
Not reliable for diacritics.

Thank you for the correction

absoluteSuccess:
That's pleasing you.

If you don't understand what you want, how would you understand Yoruba history?

Say that to your friend who read and never understand what he read hence make untrue statements about words and even try to rewrite words to suit his ill-conceived meaning and narratives

Olu317:
It is igbà = time.
And not only ìgbà without any dictionary evidence to proof yours. Mine own has proof shown in the screenshot.
ìgbà is garden egg

Proof yours..

Can you take a little time to study your silly dictionary? You can see in the second line that the igba was written without any diacritics, this shows that your useless and silly dictionary is not reliable

Olu317:

Proof yours..

Ìgbà is time

Garden egg is ìgbá in fact to write it correctly you'll have to write ìgbáá as the last syllable would be stressed, anyway your brain can't carry this as it seems too complex for your low kilobyte brain cell

Olu317:
Mr. àmì ohùn, see as you blundered again. Káarè . Rather, it is àmi ohùn which mean sign etc. Teacher teaching abracadabra.....

Àmì is not àmi

Àmì = Mark, sign etc
Àmi? I don't know what this means as it does not sound intelligible to any Yorùbá speaker, anywhere
You keep bursting yourself
Àmì = do-do (low-low tone)
Àmi = do-re (lọ-mid tone)
Guy go and show this to any Yorùbá teacher and come here to tell us what they say to you

absoluteSuccess:
What do you want me to do for you?

To please you?

You don't need to please me just stop destroying the language we all inherited from our ancestors. There are many people who only search for info online and may take very serious things they read here, stop misleading them

absoluteSuccess:
If it gives you peace and joy that I don't know what diacritics are as a Yoruba man writing Yoruba from childhood, please, enjoy the moment. As long as you know better, the world is saved.

Your friends have right to request for diacritics because it's the Apex phenomenon in Yoruba history, I don't have the right to ask them for eleyoro because it doesn't "correct" my friend enough.



Point of correction though, it's not the fault of a reader when a writer make mistake on his spellings, let him correct himself, if that is done, nobody needs to weep and morn over this.

But, what kind of hordes of people mock the sensibilities of a writer who can communicate his intentions effectively for diacritics?

It can only be hordes who has nothing of substance to hold on to to appease their "sense of entitlement" that's greater than doing the job at hand.

With nothing to offer their audience for the attention they thought they deserve, anything that can hurt the ego of the researcher would be their focus, being an alternative way of claiming "professional".

That's not doing the job but hurting anyone you don't like. Indeed, you can't give what you don't have and when the desirable is not available, the available becomes desirable.



There's no need for your campaign of calumny, here's a man that is well exposed and thorough in his research and numbers of books and materials at his disposal on the subject, well attested by his contributions.

If diacritics is the most important thing you are looking for in Yoruba history, leave Olu alone, get the contributions of macof and Tao11 and you will be glad you had what you want. If you don't like his formatting, format for him.



These are not the phenomenon I seek in Yoruba language and history, they are your kind of phenomenon, they are very good and worth the effort sir, but people's choices differs.

You go for what is "deep" for you and these are such. I can't make choices for you. There are different topics under just one subject, we move.

Shior!
Now I can see why both of you are friends

As how me your friend........

Ignorance mixed with arrogance

You're are failing miserably at the laudary job you decided to do
There's no way you can communicate your writings effectively without using the right diacritics, it will mar your writeups no matter how hard you try whatever you write would be read to mean another thing. Sorry, your friend just like you is delusional. The reason he kept making silly assertions on nairaland is because he always misread whatever he saw in books. Imagine that useless dictionary he displayed on this same issue.


Less I forget, you made mention of him having achieved a lot or has done some great things lmao

What is great in demeaning your ancestors? Why is he bent on linking anything Yorùbá to the middle east? Why look for validation outside of Africa? Why must Yorùbá come from the Hebrew?
Anyone in the academia knows that criticism is very needed in any academic work. If you and your friend are afraid of critiquing what you assert then it shows that all you guys are doing here is nothing but absolute nonsense. How can you put something on an open forum and never want criticism? We all should follow whatever you write like zombies? No question asked, as in you're unquestionable? Kò jọọ́!

Nobody is saying that diacritics is the apex thing in Yorùbá phenomenon but if you are getting something as simple as diacritics wrong how many of your assertions on Yorùbá Hebrew connections have you gotten wrong?

Olu317 kept muddling things up on this same thread yet you want to launder him? Alayé, stop it


NB: stop getting work up whenever you are questioned on anything that you do, if you're doing the right thing you would not be afraid of questioning, in fact you'll be happy to respond reasonably to every question, that's how intellectuals do they don't get angry at questioning

Olu317:
Are you more correct than Yorúbàá dictionary? It says ọ̀rọ and not ọ̀rọ̀. Professor, I hail thee

I challenge you to post a link of this your dictionary let's see those behind the stupid dictionary and call them out for their folly

Lol.

If only e go dey willing to learn this thing once and for all, you for don teach am tay-tay.

Cc: rhektor

Only God knows where he picked that silly dictionary from, Olu317 see real dictionary o, no be that nonsense that you are using

The person who wrote this speech for president Buhari really tried, my issue with them is that they seem to know how to give speeches at the international stages but here in Nigeria they always five silly speeches

Not oversight but a rejoinder to the past discuss on the word for "father" in Yoruba language.

This thread is about Yoruba and Hebrew,which it is not out of context,if we agree that Yoruba related matter can be in forefront of juxtaposition.

No hard feeling.

You've started your lies again. If I ask you for proof now you'll be ranting and threatening
Guy, show me where I have claimed that Àbá/Ẹ̀bá does not mean father in any thread

Olu317:
Where does Ake comes from in Ileife ? English language is a bit on the swarvy side to you ?

Okay!!! What is the history of Ake in Ileife ? As simple as ABC! or
Tell us Yoruba history of Ake. May be you are even egun sef....

Oh! Morocco is a problem to you? Lmao...Point to the relationship of Morroco to Ake in my question

You people will not kill us with fairy tales of heat being the reason of decomposition of fossil human in West Africa! Oh Yorubaland

Please show me/us if Yoruba has the oldest gene in Africa or dna

understatement ? Yoruba ethnic group is not among the seven(7)oldest.dna in Africa: You cannot bet your money on it

North Africa has the hightest heat in the region of Africa and she holds unto the oldest AXE (tool) found in Africa and one of the oldest in the world. BOMBSHELL........


The fear of èlú is the beginning of sancity.....

Is this one mad or what? How does this nonsense absolve you of the rubbish you've been writing with the use of baseless diacritics? Your case is seriously pathetic. I have given you a simple assignment go and ask questions from your so-called professors who you have claimed several times here on nairaland that they accepted your stupid books ask them on how to use diacritics properly, you won't die if you seek for help

Olu317:
I have but you havent
ọ̀rọ(conversation,word)

If you're sensible you will know that these two words as written in your silly dictionary follows no reasonable pattern in the use of diacritics just a mumbo-jumbo but it's ok if this suit your Moroccan assertion lmao

Olu317:
Are you more correct than Yorúbàá dictionary? It says ọ̀rọ and not ọ̀rọ̀. Professor, I hail thee

Now I see where your problem comes from, like I warned you the other time when you lied on me and I called you out.
You read things in books and fail to understand the limitations of the writers

I'm sure if you have access to different Yorùbá write ups you'll see the same

error in writing. You don't seem to have any understanding on how to write Yorùbá language correctly

This your silly dictionary that you snap here has said nothing about how to use diacritics. You only use it to lay strengthen your ignorance.

The writer has a limittion on typing out the correct details but your gullibility won't see it, this is the reason you've always misappropriate words on nairaland while claiming erudite
Go and read the Yorùbá Bible and see tones of mistakes on how they used diacritics same words would be written with different diacritics, the problem is the limitations of the publishers you can not just lay claim on just any books to streghten your folly.
Chech out the Yorùbá Bible in the screenshot below

Ẹ gbé orí yín sókè (this is the correct way to write it but because of the limitations of the publishers they only chose certain words or letters that they add diacritics but an ignoramus like you would take that as an authorised method of writing)

Olu317 go and learn
