I think hot-angel brought her Yoruba textbook(Alawiye) from Nigeria and she's copying it from there.  |

IAH: Oh my god, u know that book? haha, memories. I don't have the book here oo. I am simply S-M-A-R-T.  Yíyẹ́ là ńyẹ́ Òkóró sí tí à ńpè é nígi obì; obì tí ì bá so lórí ẹ̀ ní ńya abidún. (It is only a mark of respect when one calls Òkóró a kolanut tree; any kolanut that might grow on his head would turn out to be slimy.) |

U av to start learning, its better late than never!! |
