ADAGE OF THE DAY AND ITS MEANING


YORUBA: “Bùn mi níṣu kan” kì í ṣáájú “Ẹkú oko òo.”



ENGLISH TRANSLATION: “Give me one yam” does not precede “Greetings to you on the farm.”



MEANING: One does not ask a favor of, or transact any business with any person without first exchanging pleasantries with the person or saying ''hello'' to him.
