Your local dialect is the best.

Without doubt on any one's mind,we accept the fact that the official language is English,but our mother tongue still is the best. Oh! i'm happy i'm a Nigeria despite the oddities and not only that,the fact of being a Yoruba man.There so many things you'll want to say but since you can't express it in English,you keep mum and if worst comes,you'd adopt what is known as yoruba-english and for those who're not yoruba,like ibo,them go talk am for pidgin. Remember wetin Lagbaja talk, 'e kaabo na welcome, wetin be ekuule',sometimes ago after secondary school,myself and some friends started a tutorial centre and the guy taking English one day asked from the students what is 'osuka' in English and different answers came in which apparently were wrong. Funny enough,till today 'me sef never sabi am for english' who knows should please tell me.
However,there are so many things in English which i think are adaptation from Yoruba Language, an English man will tell you 'that is a blatant lie' which the yoruba be 'iro funfun balaun' the list continues. The truth is bitter as dem talk am but that's not to say we shouldn't say it. 'Mi o ni f'owo osi juwe'le baba mi','iwo nko'? 'Abo'ro lan so f'omo luabi to ba denu e yio d'odindi'. Think and don't go astray,'mo wi temi'.

Make up you wear looking a decorated chimpanzee Why be an incurable malady You represent a brand

The Deranged

He looked up to the sky Laughed out loud Then he gibbered I'm coming for a date Lord He took to his heels To the nearest tree Jumped to the back And up he goes Up at the peak He mutters out loud I'm here God Show thy face if ye scared not He throws to the sky Pebbles from his pockets Asking for war Not forthcoming We pleaded with him down to come And when he did Then we realized He is a DERANGED
