Histrings08: That language would be spoken where there would be too much heat with the smell of sulphur. The landlord there love incantations and Yoruba language sound like one. Exotic language like Igbo is the language of heaven. Angel Gabriel and Saint Peter would be like..."nwanna irutego?, kee ka imelu? Ngwa bata, Eze enigwe edozigolu gi ebe iga ebi"... I would shake his hand and grab my keys.. At the other side with lots of smoke and fumes, the landlord and his area boys would be swearing and cursing at you for not prostrating on the hot char coals. 2 Likes |

Gotta learn a few yoruba curse words. It is of utmost importance. These curse words/phrases are prolly all you need to get a stamp of approval when dealing with a cross section of lagosians. Drivers/conductors, road side mechanic, lastma officials, some police officers to name but a few understand these words/phrases and they know not to to take umbrage whenever they are said. They are; Oloshi Oloriburuku Ko ni da fu e Aye e Iya e 3 Likes |
