An Ode To My Beautiful Home... by slimyem: 5:43pm On Aug 01, 2012
I MISS MY HOME
..where goats are for merriment..
..dogs for the gods
and Cocoa for revenue.
The unique symbolic conundrum of my home...
.
.
I eat àsun,i dance ujó-obitun,i dont joke with iyán and obelá-lásèpò pèlú eangbé ati ìpée.my èfo must have lúkotokítí and when i see àlàárì lóí aso,my heart rejoices!
.
.
I was born into a very rich origin,a land where the sun is like a second skin.
It never sets and it never rises..
Where lókílì, obì and gbànja are the god's delicacies.
where our Extremely High Self-Esteem is mistaken for pride by foreigners..
Where our joviality is mis-seen as promiscuity by the same.
.
.
I come from a land distinguished by serene ambience,unparalleled elegance and intense beauty..
And where prestige is the water we drink.
.
.
I am not only NIGERIAN,not only YORUBA, but also an ORIGINAL UNADULTERATED ONDO-BLOODED WOMAN.cheesycheesy

I have 25% Ondo in me too o lol. I think my dad said he was part Ondo or sth like that. His dialect (which is different from my mom's dialect Moba) is closer to Ondo dialect. tongue

oh!
Okay...
There are quite a number of dialects similar to Ondo dialect though...
You can hardly diffentiate between Ondo,Idanre and Ile-oluji dialects....so i'm guessing ur dad is from a sub of either towns.cheesy

Not a bad start, you don't like me very much not that you don't like me at all. i know it would be too "soon" if you say you like me so soon. When do you wanna visit Ondo and from where? i don't mind if you want some of these in private. cool
