Well sorry this may be a bit offensive. Albeit it lighten up the spirit with sense of humour. Just heard this proverb: 'a saa ni tori pe oju baale foh, ka ma tunle pe elefo'. meaning 'we wont keep avoiding any word that is pronounced like 'blindness', all because the leader is blind'. |

And this other one: benu ba buru, elenu a ponla: meaning 'if the mouth is so bad, that does not stop the one to whom it belongs from swallowing by it'. |

Drniyi4u:Wande boy must have copied my unsung song before I met my zeebaby. I don't know what my zee baby put in the food she served. But I pray its love-portion, its working on me already. Meanwhile I have enough enemy on nairaland. But if I die, in the hand of a woman, remember this and note it as my epithaph: 'no victor, no vanquished' he that giveth hath taketh. But if man kill me, Rasputin!!! I must rise again to revenge! I no go ever die again be that. |
