Ekule is a yoruba greeting which literally translates as 'Well done being at home". Thatd the closest I can think of.

Happy "Home keeping"

Lmao! grin

Re: Whats The Eglish Meaning Of Ekule by Nobody: 10:21am On Nov 01, 2016

Ekule = welcome
Ekaabo = welcome

Difference is;

Ile = 'house' (So the person entering uses "Ekule" when greeting those he meets at home).

Abo = 'return' (so those at home say "ekaabo" when greeting the person who just returned.)

'Eku' could mean "well" or "good".
