Sorry is another word for Excuse me. Politeness. Ask Britain before you guys continue saying nonsense.

Ordinarily in other English speaking countries, polite language takes the form of expressions like: "I beg your pardon" (which actually means the same thing as sorry) or "excuse me". Nigerians aren't far off the mark cool

Sorry is just being polite to inherent danger inside a Nigerian waiting to be unleashed.

Just a typical case of trouble sleep yanga go wake am. You have to be polite to trouble
