Aaaaaaah!!!


When you are in a heated arguement with another Lagosian especially conductors or those agberos and it looks very likely that a physical fight is on the way, just shout the word 'Aaaaaaah!' 3 times and end with by screaming the word 'Emi, emi, emi, wa ku leni!' angry
Say this and you would immediately notice a look of panic on the other guy's face. grin


FriedPlantain you they craze ooo* grin grin some agbero no dey feel that one again ooo* New tactics don arrive nanga

olobe literally mean someone with soup.

I disagree with you. "Olobe" is somebody who looks poverty-stricken.
