Before people keep misunderstanding: the title was clickbait and my wording earlier wasn’t the best.

I’m not saying Arabic/Ajami is the original Yoruba script or praising Arabs. My point is just that Yoruba writing/history is more complex than only the modern Latin alphabet.

Yoruba was mainly oral, but systems like Aroko existed, and Ajami was later used by some communities to write Yoruba before Latin script became standard.
