I intend doing this for a whole week. It is to promote the Yoruba language amongst the current generation.

By the way the sayings are quite interesting and enlightening. Africa has a very rich culture.

Wish I could do the same thing in Igbo and Hausa.

Would probably start an Igbo last when my leave commences.

"Kotu we osi, kosi we otu, lowo fi n mo"

"The right washes the left hand, the left washes the right. Tha's the only why to get the hands clean"

Ori lo mo se asela.
