What do you mean? I just think that it would be more eye catching and accessible to visitors and easier to navigate if there was a dedicated forum for translations. It is okay in the culture section, but language a big enough topic to be separate from culture.

Actually I miss you in Yoruba is not "Mo miss e gan"

It is a shame that the my generation cannot speak a simple sentence of Yoruba without adding English or some foreign connotation to it.

I miss you in Yoruba is "Oju e ro mi gan"

Please do not miseducate the people.

I'm like so not the best yoruba interpreter, esp when it comes to names.  Tongue Tongue Tongue

But. . . .but I think

Kolajo means: Gather joy (ola means joy/wealth. Jo means gather)

Koyejo means: Gather honor. (oye means Honor or Kingship)

Any yoruba interpreter should feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
