yinkuscious: In a village in korea republic, if you are in love with a lady and you want to marry her, you don't need to go and learn how to recite love poem. All you need to do is to buy the lady a pair of shoe and she will immediately understand you. If she collect it, that means your hook has catch a fish, but if she refuse to accept it.... Complete the statement

Mustay:

It had been previously highlighted here that you can't use (a) sample(s) to ascribe generics to a population - that is statistical biasness.

You can make use of the internet as there are more Yoruba literary works uploaded online these days on Yoruba custom & traditions. . .

"It is still culturally valued among the Yorùbá that a man should work hard":

"Atẹlẹwọ Ẹni, ki n tan Ni’ jẹ; it means" (A hardworking person will never be disappointed).

thandii1:

This has to be strangest culture shock I've read so far. What?

What I have to say might not necessarily be a culture shock, but during my stay in the north, I was amazed at how the northerners accepted any kind of notes, torn, badly cellotaped notes were collected as normal thing. Here in the south people frown and reject such notes, some even reject dirty notes.

In lagos, I just could not wrap my head around the way the drivers move their cars. They drive in such a way they you'd think they'd hit your bumper. Never seen such reckless driving all my life.
