They should remove "teria" and leave "buka" for us. I grow up to hear people called my mother "mamabuka" and my elder brother "Femibuka", because my mother had a local Restaurant in our town, in the 70s and early 80s where people could eat to their satisfaction, at a very affordable price. Every Nigerian (especially Yoruba) knows what a buka is, which one is "bukateria" it's a new coinage that has no real meaning. 126 Likes 6 Shares |
