Lol. I hate some funny and meaningless words like “àgùnbánirò” (NYSC member), “kogilá” (Contractor), “Ęro Ab'ęyęfò” (Twitter).

Words that don't exist in our vocabulary, instead of naming them just like the owners, we try hard to lay claim to them by forcefully giving them Yoruba names. Maybe it's pride or arrogance, I don't know. But I hate it.

Lol but you're cool with giving everything that don't have names in English an English name?? Like calling Ewédú, Draw soup and Garri Cassava flakes??

That is nonsense!

Your language is dying right in front of your eyes and you're smiling, Do you know how much English people are trying to give almost everything a name?? Because they want to preserve their culture

While you throw your own culture in the trash!!
