Assessment: JAMB UTME - Yoruba Language - 2025 Subject: Yoruba Language

Question 1 Report

Kí ló jẹ́ ohun ìjà Yoruba?

Answer Details

The phrase ohun ìjà means an instrument of fighting or warfare. Among the choices given, ọ̀fà (the arrow, shot from a bow) is the one that names a genuine traditional weapon used in Yoruba hunting and warfare, associated closely with warriors and with Ògún, the deity of iron and war.

The other items are everyday household or personal tools: obẹ is a kitchen knife, abẹ̀ is a small blade or razor used for shaving or minor cutting, and òpá is simply a stick or staff used for support or herding, not a dedicated weapon of combat.

When a Yoruba culture question asks for a weapon rather than a tool, look for the item whose primary traditional use was fighting or hunting rather than domestic work; the arrow fits that description precisely.
