My mother in-law in IBADAN would say

Tani? Tani..... ? Who's this? Who's this?

She lacks manner of approach

Depends. For someone I don’t know, I keep quiet and allow them speak first to know if I can recognize the voice.


For someone I know, if na guy, “baba how far?”, senior man, my oga, chief, olorioko, etc. if na babe, mama, chief lady, beauty human(for person wey fine o) etc.

Ejeh meaning blood brother or sister

Assalamu Alaikum Waramatullahi Wabarakatu

Which language is that?

ChybuzzDD:
If you pick my calls and ask "who's this?" as your first response, i end the call immediately.
It shows that the person is immature, disrespectful, lacks emotional intelligence and is careless/not mindful.

Ahh! You and I will definitely clash, cus all I do is go ahead or I'm with you.

All these oyinbo standards nauseated me.

Mine are either:

Yo! Xup
