3. E fun mi fisi
You know how you walk into a local buka and you’re not satisfied with the amount of food they’ve given you? “E fun mi fisi” is the magic word. Say it and keep a smile and small portions will be added to your plate.

And if the mama put replies, asking you a question over what you said, then what next? or we go just look like zombie

So after Biafra gets their so called "Independence" from Buhari your 'colonial master' (lol) you were planning to come back to Yoruba states or what? or what is the 'till' in your statement for?

6. Bẹẹ ni/Bẹẹ kọ
Bẹẹ ni means “yes” in Yoruba while Bẹẹ kọ means “no”. Would be really helpful if you have to go to any market in Lagos.

So Bèè kò is no longer "not like that" ?

I was thinking that "Oti o" is NO.

5. E joo
E joo is Yoruba for ‘please’. So when you get into trouble and need someone to help out, say “e joo” and who knows?
