My dear Ghanaians Its church, not 'Chech'. Pastor, not 'pastar'. Doctor, not 'Dactar'. My fellow Nigerians Its bath, not 'baff'. Our currency is called Naira, not 'narrah'. My dear Edo people Its argument, not 'ajument'. My dear Yorubas Its Air, not 'hair'. Eight, not 'hate'. Its Van Persie, not 'Fan Persin'. My dear Ibadan peeps Its not 'sun tissu', its Sean Tizzle! Its not 'siro' but zero! My dear Hausa people Its fifty, not 'pipty'. Its people, not 'fiffle'. Its five, not 'pipe'. Glo, not 'gilo'! Seriously it is 'Tuface weds Annie Macauley', stop saying 'Toothpaste weds Animal calling'. My Egun people Its actually 'MTN' and not 'NTM'! My dear Calabar peeps Kindly note its love and not 'rurf'. My Benue people Its not 'Lick Loss', its 'Rick Ross'. My Igbo people There is nothing like 'thaaasand', it is thousand. It is bed-sheet and not 'bay sheet'. And its thirty, not 'thartie'! Our Lord's prayer is actually 'Our Father, who at in Heaven. Hallowed be your name...', and not 'Our Father, look at eleven, adaobi thy name...'. 3 Likes 1 Share |
