Geeoriginal:There is no meaning of Ogun that is signifies or represent END. End means òpin in Yoruba. And about the history, that was the fact. The state was named after a river named OGUN (charm). I don't know if OGBC still include the below song in their broadcasting. The song looks like Ogun rẹ ooo, omi rẹ a ṣàn rẹ rẹ 2x... Ká f'ohùn dédé, de de owó, Ká f'ọwọ́ wá, ká m'aye wa Ká wá f'ese mu'le sì Ogun Rédíò. |

femi4: What is the meaning of the "Ògùn" Sir? Remember it is a Yorùbá word. |
Re: Ogun: The Only Yoruba Word, With 10 Meanings by femi4: 8:02pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
ruffbamreal:End in Yoruba is Òpin not Ògùn In the Yoruba religion, Yemoja is the divinity of the Ogun River. The catechist Charles Phillips, father of the Charles Phillips who later became Bishop of Ondo, wrote in 1857 that the Ogun River was generally worshipped by the people who live along its banks from its rise until where it empties into the lagoon.[5] The river ran through the heart of the old Oyo Empire.

acounter2: Sorry, they are different words. Let's put some some lecturing into this. Yoruba words have signs we put at the top of vowels. Vowels are ( a, e e i o o u ) The second e & o has a dot underneath. Consonants don't have signs. So the signs are dò re mí. Re don't have no sign ontop Ògùn medicine ( do do) Ògùn charm ( do do ) Ogun war ( note the vowels. ( Re re ) Ògùn state ( do do) Ògún god of Iron ( do mi ) Ogún twenty ( re mí ) Òógùn sweat ( do mi do ) Ogún - property or inheritance ( re mí ) Ó gùn ún - to climb ( mi do mi ) Ógùn - long ( mi do ) |

Ogun- problem |
Re: Ogun: The Only Yoruba Word, With 10 Meanings by HolyboiAy(m): 8:16pm On Apr 27, 2019 |
Yoruba is a tonal language and these (Ogun) can't be regarded as same thing. There are so many tone that are supposed to be added to the Ogun that will give it other meaning. We don't just rich Ogun without tone which are suprasegmental sounds. These words are not correct ordinarily without the sounds. |

tomdon: there is a slight difference in pronunciation too. 20 is somehow stretched compared to inheritance. |

Ogun (it's good) Ogun (to pound) e.g Ogun omo yen(he pound that girl) |

Lotel:its not a matter of oga lecturer, what you wrote is actually wrong for people who don't know or want to learn you you post hubris on the internet, Yorùbá is a tonal language, without the proper signs on the vowels what you wrote is misleading. |
