Epo is thick Oil such as Palm oil

Ago is bell. And a phone rings just like a bell. grin

Otherwise, it is Ero Ibanisoro.

Yeah, ago is bell, but doesn't necessarily means anything that rings. And yes, ago is phone, but you have to add 'ipe' in other for the person you are communicating with to understand.

You sabi yoruba pass me, but ago ipe is phone and not just ago
