It's no longer news that Yoruba language is the most recognized Nigerian language in the international community. I was catching up on 'The Blacklist' series and surprisingly in the first episode of the second season, the General Yaabaari supposedly from Douala, Cameroon was speaking a combination of pidgin English and Yoruba with his lieutenant. The transcript is thus: GENERAL: Ehn, you dey, you dey always dey do am ehn? Si apoti yi! (Why are you struggling with this? Open the box!) LEUITENANT: General mo'n tiraka (General I am trying my best) GENERAL: Ma tiraka, si apoti yi! (Don't try your best, just open the box!) **************************************************** LIEUTENANT (to 'Red'): Si apoti yi (Open this box) RED: Well now you're being shortsighted LIEUTENANT: Maa pa e danu, so gbo mi? ( I'll waste you, do you hear me?) RED (to Yaabari): Tell him to put the gun down. LIEUTENANT: Mi o ba e sere o, si apoti yi joo, maa pa e danu joo! (I ain't joking c'mon open this box or else I'll just waste you!) *Yaabari shoots his lieutenant* Video link: https://youtu.be/UQN2xoDoem0 Cc:lalasticlala, seunosewa 4 Likes |

Did you see season 4 episode 12 around 9-10minutes where RED was talking about sopona as a Yoruba ancient demon that brought diseases. These guys are thorough in what they do  2 Likes |

I just saw that part a few minutes ago, I had to storm google immediately to see if someone else did. Voilà! You guys did too, really crazy if you ask me, damn! The dudes definitely don't have a clear tongue for the language.... But then selecting Yoruba language? It's just a wow! |

In season 6, episode 16 (lady luck) youruba was spoken too... The dark guy in dread said "ese sir" meaning thank you sir red, after he settled their dispute... Watch 40.58- 41.09 (minutes) carefully |
