Excelboi: Primarily EKU means WELLDONE and JOKO means SIT. But it can mean two things when used as a sentence cos yourba language has diversified meaning. For example; EKU IJOKO may mean = Hope you re well sitted and the response will be ESE, adupe. (yes, thank you). And the other meaning can be hope you re comfortable.

But, all in all, if you want to use it as a greeting, just say; Hope you re well sitted!!! .....

ishmael: It means you're well sitted.

Fati99: lmao! you people sef, be serious joor. I like happy sitting but that's not it.

NB: I am not asking for the literal meaning of Ekujoko, I am asking you guys to tell me how to say that to someone in English Language.

geosegun:

EKU-IJOKO literary means WELL-DONE FOR YOUR PATIENCE WHILE STILL SEATED.

EKU here works as an adjective qualifying a Noun(IJOKO).
As in EKU-ISE which means WELL-DONE FOR WORKING SO HARD.

Idowuogbo: and dis deserves front page? smh!

slimyem: go die if e dey pain you....

olaheavy: First off, I observed that the OP him/herself is not a real Yoruba. He/she maybe one of those Igbo or other yinminrin offspring (in their millions) who were sired in Yorubaland by their immigrant Eastern parents. I mean no bonafide Yoruba would write 'jo' as 'joor.' This stupid erratum will only be committed by the folks who don't know better than to put a 'k' before a 'p' - as 'kpako' in lieu of 'pako.' Moreover, and as rightly put by @Ileke Idi, you Easterners (who are sheltered and succoured in Yorubaland) should please stick to your Biafran blah...blah... okay?
However and, having said that, many Eastern yinminrin and Biafran aj'okuta ma mumi are murdering our beautiful Yoruba language in their silly attempt at translation. Imagine Igbo hardened criminals saying that the words 'E ku' literally mean 'die' in English. What a bullcrap! Now, let a real Yoruba school you Igbo maggots. The words 'E ku' (for more than one person) or 'O ku' (for an individual) are used to encourage, goad, prop, prick, propel or 'appreciate' other folk's efforts, doings/deed, actions, undertakings, or achievements. In other words, they can be used as an appreciation of a long suffering task or laborious undertaking. For instance, when you pay a visit to a household or an office, after a while, your host or someone delegated might come over to where you're seated and say: 'e ku ijoko' or 'o ku ijoko.' This sentence simply means 'I/we appreciate your continued sitting!' Whereas, 'ijoko' is a seat -- 'e ku' or 'o ku,' in this wise, can only mean an appreciation of your long suffering sitting on a seat! In other words, they're encouraging words that goad you on, as in -- 'keep on sitting on that seat: your host will soon attend to you.' When you go to an 'agbalagba' (elderly person) or an oba (a king) in Yorubaland you're greeted or acknowledged repeatedly as in ' e ku' or 'o ku.' You will rather encourage a hardworking dude in Yorubaland, so as not to relent on his efforts, when you meet such a person in action by saying 'e ku ise'

geosegun: In a nutshell, EKU - in Yoruba language indicates/expresses Endurance/Patience.
EKU tries to praise the Object/Person for his/her act i.e endurance.

No one enjoys Standing for a long time as in EKU IDURO. EKU ISE, EKU IRIN-AJO, ETC

@OP; when and how do i get the recharge card o.

Many thanks

Fati99: Wow, so many attempts. Thanks everybody but in my opinion geosegun is the closest and quite a number of people agree. At least I can always say "Thanks for being patient or thanks for your patience, the MD will see you in a moment". He is deserving of the recharge card.

Geosegun, please post the phone number/email address you would like me to send it to asap. Thanks. Once again, Thanks everybody.

Baawaa:
I agree with you,but in case of someone come to your party this is more meaningful "Thanks for coming"

geosegun:

Please can you send me a personal mail on NL?
or better still send the numbers to geosegun@yahoo.com
I am not too comfortable sending my personal Number for public consumption.
you can send either MTN or Zain/Airtel recharge cards

Many thanks

Fati99:

Ok, check your inbox, I just sent it.

Fati99: This question has been plaguing me for months and I would kindly like the well versed in English Language help me out.

Ekaabo is welcome but please what is Ekujoko in English Language? Our cleaner at the office said "welldone" and that doesn't make sense, imagine sitting down for hours waiting to see a person and then someone/the secretary tells you "welldone", it is annoying while my funny brother says it is "welldone sitting", lol.

So, Esteemed Nairalanders, what is Ekujoko in plain English or how do I greet someone who's been sitting for hours probably at the office/party etc Ekujoko.

The correct answer (adjudged by all) gets a recharge card, =N=500 any network.
