Your Eulogising Name (ORIKI) by Nobody: 9:42pm On Nov 10, 2013 |
It is part of the yoruba culture to name their children and give them a special name (Oriki). I noticed that if parents wants to get something from us they recite the oriki just like a short poem which has some kind of connection with us to extent that even when you are angry, you tend to calm. Did you know your eulogising name or even the short poem recited. Mine is Opomulero moja lekan, opo roso,opo gbaja, opo kan dudu, keke ta didun, aso ni edidi omo eniyan, bi ko ba si aso, bi ko si ejigbara ileke iniruuru idi ni ao ba maa ri. omo elomiran i ba bora sile ajo aaya imiran ko ba bora sile ajo obo; Eyi tunmosipe awon babanla wa mo iyi aso pupo wonsi ti n wo orisirisi aso ki babanla alawo funfun to maa woso. Sorry, i can't translate it to English. ADD yours.. |
