Quote from: IAH on September 01, 2005, 06:29 PM
Hehe, that reminds me of my CRS(Christian Religious Studies) Teacher in High School. She likes "sepe"ing. After teaching us about Jesus and his disciples, she will say "oloriburuku niwo omo to n je chewing gum nibeyen, Olosi!" She was like 37 years old and still "Miss". Who will marry sepesepe? Shocked

o mi gosh Grin Grin..i can't stop laughing..hahahahahaha..iah..nice one..

wats wit teachers and sepeing?


Won ni aa ba fi e j'oba shugbon o ti le sh'epe ju. O ni ah ko ni da fun enikeni t'o ba ni m'o ti le sh'epe ju.

(They say we want to make you king but you curse too much. You reply woe betide anyone who says I curse too much, they will never prosper)


Won ni k'olokunrun she 'to' k'o san; o ni 'emi ko le ma she to to to o jare'

They told the sick person to say the word 'to' and he will be well; he replies: 'i don't have time to ba saying any to to to!'
