I was relaxing yesterday in my room when a child came in with a message from his mum asking him to come collect the ARODAN his mum gave to me. I couldn't stop laughing after sending the boy on his way as he just took me down the memory lane.

Well. Yoruba parents can be funny at times. They sometime send their errant children on mission impossible in a futile search quest.

When we were still young and highly stubborn or disturbing... Our parent would always use the ARODAN approach to get us busy... They would always ask us to go and collect ARODAN from somebody. On getting there, the person will redirect you to another person who will in turn redirect you to another person till you get all tired since ARODAN is the only Yoruba word that has no meaning used to punish erring or disturbing children.

The last time I was sent on such mission... I suffer ooo!!! I was redirected close to twelve times before the last man took pity on me and ask me to go tell my mum that he would send it thru his child.

What was your own ARODAN experience?

Lol... my mum sent me on such errand once and I was lucky the woman told me to sit down while she prepares the 'Arodan'... I woke up later in the day in my house.
The one that really got me was in secondary school, I was still a JJC in the hostel then. One senior sent me to collect a book titled 'YOUR JOURNEY WILL NEVER END' hmmmm...I waka that day no be small

en I was in boarding school then but it took me so long bfore I realized 'arodan ' is just to make u start asking for what doesn't exist from different ppl

Sorry for your ignorance, I hope you won't do that to your children.
Anyway my parent never send me such message.

ARODAN=====>>>> ENDLESS JOURNEY

Mine wAs when i was in high school...

My mum sent me to bring arodan....

But the woman pitied me and asked me to sit down.... I waited for some hours...

Nobody told me before i went to play playstation.....

ARODAN Or EWE JOKOJE
....Arodan is use in the olden days to caution small children without them knowing... for example, maybe a small boy is disturbing her mama, his mama would just say "go to uncle kunle and collect ARODAN for me ".....
o boy That is the last thing for the boy That day ooo.... He go just sit down with uncle kunle throughout the day without him knowing Why He is sitting down...



very soon BUHARI would send GEJ to OTUOKE to collect ARODAN........ journey of no return....
quote me

I was here

Haha ha... Hmm

I was never sent, but I've sent other children. Chai! Ki l'omode mo ju ko ma yii tyre?

My mother will send me to iya Muri, she will tell me to go and collect Omotoyiogbon ....d woman will just beat me like die at time she will give me serious punishment.

O boy no be small thing o o. . . The VICTIM felt like cryin. Gone are those days when children were humble coupled with full respect for elders whereby they can be order around anyhow. If you try that with kids of nwadays you wont like the look on their face esp the females. Some kids will be like "what the mess is ARODAN"

growing up!

I just they observe who his/her own "ARODAN"go funny me pass.let's roll my Yoruba peeps.

I was never a stubborn Kid, at home

ok

say no to child abuse

Ohhhh. Story..... Storyyy. Once upon a time, I was stubborn and stupid but now I'm gentle and wise. My elder brothers really frustrate me back then with this endless journey.
