(2) "press the red button.....oponu!"
(3) " Hold it for me.....didirin!
(4)" You can't greet person.....alaileko!
(5)" Give it to your broda jor.....agbaaya!
(6)" Go and baff jor.....obun!
(7)Go and do your assignment.....olodo!
(coolYou better wake up.....oloorυn iya!
(9) Yago lona funmi jooor.....arindin!
(10) Iwo ni mounpe.....aditi!
(11) Where are you coming from? .....Onirinkurin!
(12) stop writing on d wall.... Baseje!
(13)U forgot what I told u just now.....alakogbagbe!
(14)So the one you eat is not enough.....olonje iya!
(15)Who put your mouth there.....Saliu elenu gbooro!
