I've been wondering why some nigerians always say sorry before asking a question. They say words like: "sorry, may I use the toilet?" "sorry, can I borrow your car?" e.t.c See the epic reply someone gave a social media user that asked the question.

Its an apologetic prelude to wasting another person's time with questions. Naija too respectful. The same reason we greet: " how is your wife, your son, your daughter, the little baby and the whole family nko?  1 Like |
