Yoruba names are very weird
Why would u guys name it esusun
Why would ur name even be yemike

Free that your shallow mind from mental imprisonment, you've condition yourself to believe any Name that sound/mean something funny in your language is not worth to be used by others.
Sincerely, you deserve to be trapped in a molecule!

In Bini, it's actually spelt as Edon, sounds as édon....Edun ( èdun ) is bitter kola

pretydiva:
The Bini’s call it Edun. It is very delicious. You see it during raining season

Lagos people no too sabi traditional delicacies.

That's a big fat lie ma'am. I grew up in Lagos and ate this Esunsun very well as a kid. It was even sold by those who caught it in excess as a roasted delicacy.

The good old days!

What difference does it make?
You want to degrade?
All vegetables you eat are weeds.
All the meat you eat are just animals like humans, vulture, bat, snake, earthworm, lizard, chicken, dog etc

Do you still want to degrade yourself?
