ekestic1976: Who is your Yoruba Language teacher? Well google is now your friend you may ask her. There isn't any controversy in this issue; Ekun= Tiger ..... ogidan oloola iju, a ko'mo lai labe. Ekun o je'ran kaasi.... Kaka ki kinnihun o se akapo Ekun, olukaluku o s'ode re lotooto.... Amotekun is Leopard: a bit smaller in size than tiger, swift and very agile, has about 87% success hunting rate. The best hunter among the cat family. A lone ranger and very territorial; you dare not cross its path. Those that chose that name know all the attribute of a Leopard before adopting it. Please do not confuse others. 2 Likes |

Venerable612: You are right about the translation of Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn "one who knows as much as Ẹkùn" But Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn is Cheetah Owawa is not even a wild cat We are really losing our Yoruba heritage 8 Likes |

Venerable612: this is misleading please, how do you liken leopard to tiger? Tiger has a striped fur while leopard is spotted all over. àmòtékún means liken to ekún, the closest semblance from the feline family are leopards and the cheetahs. Lion........... Kinniun or kiniun Tiger.......... Ogidan Leopard............. Ekún Cheetah............... Àmòtékún. 2 Likes |

Demzlent: you are wrong, we have killed Owawa many times , he's also wrong , Owawa usually move from tree to tree in the night using rope and you can only kill it during the day, its also black with patches also, more like a goat and its extremely lazy, only one owawa can keep a city awake with it noise , we usually traces it in the night when its making noise just to identity a particular tree owawa sleeps on , then we will go to that tree during the day with dogs, immediate you pull the ropes and shake the tree, it will jump down and dogs will surround it, then you can move in and matchet it , dog doesn't kill owawa because they are family, history says dog was sold out to human when the dog family needed money . if one owawa is barking at CMS Bus stop you will be hearing at Obalende that you will even be thinking it was right there beside you Leopard is Amotekun 5 Likes |

Putting record straight ! I don’t really agree with your position on this matter . The fact that we don’t have Tiger common in our territory does not mean we don’t have a name for such animal . Record have it that we have Kiniun ( lion ) and ekun as the king of the forest . The great news about is ekun ( tiger ) is that it can survive on its own without the pride . And the multi color nature |
