Ekiti will also say 'erubo' meaning welcome, and 'adupe' is thanks

Fear old women.
They are well respected in the coven.


I dedicate my FTC to my family who did not disown me....now I am making them proud.

I also dedicate it to Bashirat, my olosho customer who has not increased her price despite the recession.
Then to my dentist, who ensures I don't miss my regular dose of "!*;#-%!
Then to Mama Mudiaga who makes the best Monkey-tail.

You're really making them proud

What I simply do is. Enter motor let me drop you where you are going or better still let me go pay for a bus for you. If you use this method them go move...

"enter motor" is a very bad decision sir. Don't ever try giving them a lift o, be cautious!

greggng:
What type of corn are we gonna use? I asked cos fresh corn are easily cooked and if that is the case, why would one start cooking the corn before adding bean which also takes time? Pls educate me cos am currently buying the ingredient to cook iit today

Cook the corn first before the beans. The corn makes the water sweeter. Na that tomatoe me no dey sure of. Cause beans and tomatoe no dey go together like that.

You can't stay away from sex, why go to camp then when you have a husband who is ready to sex you every time you want it? Foolish LovePeddler.

Most dogs owned by poor people due to the fact that they can't nurture them always end up in the soup of people living in the above listed states.

Lalasticlala, do you have 404 as pet?

Replace Ekiti with Ondo

Those that have never assembled a wall clock in their entire lifetime will soon come here to shout "poo".Learn to Appreciate what anyone in your country is yet to produce. Na 2018 Una won start to Dey produce pencil and Biro for naija, but na Una sabi condemn other people work pass.

No be women Dey dance open nyansh for the videos, na men?

"man kneels down.... "
No, he should jump up to propose.. mtchew Yeye mods.

There should be an organised lecture every year, the best performing governor would be the guest lecturer, and the other governors would be the audience. So they can learn one or two things from him.

Kenshinmunac:
Lol, compliment of the season bro! *cheers*

People like you always scream chinko, whereas no one in your family has never invented ordinary wall clock. I doubt if you can reassemble a remote if disassembled.
