Lagos boi no sabi eat it
No those that comes from the village

You don talk am finish!
While growing up, me and my siblings went to church one Rainy Evening and these Esunsun, big and fat came out in there number.
We saw people catching them in a bow of water; some people were even eating them raw!
That was how we also decided to join in the hunt. We caught a bowful and took them home to fry with oil and better pepper!
Time to eat, my sister suggested I taste it.
I was like, "Me taste insect?!" "No na, I only join you people in the fun to catch it not eat."
That was how we kept passing the plate around o - who will be the first to die!
Up till today, I regret not tasting this delicacy that day because that was the only chance I have to eat them!

Yoruba names carry meanings. So should we be bearing names like Constable, Boniface, Thankgod, Scholastica, Perpetual, continental and many more yeye names
