The person that disliked this video is upset the tea was spilled 😂
This is why I can't venture out alone in Nigeria without my family haha!
Lool they’re upset I’ve spoilt their marker
Hey Guys, I hope you enjoy the video! Don;'t be frightened or panic about anything in it, the chances of you being in danger are very slim, it's just to help you be more cautious and aware of your surroundings!
Let me know if you have any other video requests.
Thanks for the knowledge! I am a married to a Yoruba man. He doesn’t teach me anything but what is convenient for the moment. I am learning so much from you. I want to know the slang and culture before I visit Nigeria.
Yes make a video talking about past negative sentences
if I ran every time I heard "se o gbo yoruba..." I would be Usain Bolt's greatest rival by now
Loool, that statement directed at you is fine, that statement directed to someone else about you, not so much
I APPRECIATE THIS SO MUCH! THIS IS SUCH COMMON SENSE APPROACH!
Very timely, carefulness and security consciousness is a must. Thanks
Sis im Peruvian but British but i pray against witchcraft and often times African women have attacked in the past, even in yoruba. My hubby is Nigerian. GOD bless you sis for sharing.

😂😂
This is soo useful and thoughtful of you. Thanks dear 🙏 !!!!
Wow, tea spilled 😭😭😭
Tehehe 😂
Interesting, also kinda scary 😕 good information though.. thanks Blessing.. 👍
Don’t be scared, as long as you’re cautious and alert, you’ll be okay!
Ose gan! Ose gan Blessing Kayode! Eko pataki!
Blessing, good job! We Yorubas are not the most wicked in Earth, but the grea test. You can use your talent creatively more than momentarily. If you live in a Glass house, don't throw stones. Lol
Of course we are not the most wicked, but this is the language I can speak and am teaching so hence why this is the country I can make it for. Besides, these things exist and it is for people's safety. There are plenty more videos on my channel saying great things about the yoruba culture.
Thank you
@@DiamanteBox how about teaching it dramatically,like cartoon characters and comics and magazines. I am not saying it's not true and I wish there aren't people like that, the paradigm is to get them to use their knowledge scientifically. You're a good ambassador don't get me wrong. Talking to people informs them while talking at them might scare them and angered those who benefits from such acts of wickedness. Mo ni ki nya e lowo kekere kan ni, as Yorubas we ought ta be looking out for one another. Have a great day, Blessing.
Thanks for your lessons my yoruba is really improving
Glad I could help!

Sis you can’t just skip past the police station won’t help me. 😂😩
😂😂😂😂👀👀
I had meet a friend from Nigeria I said I would love to visit he replied yes come and visit I guarantee you stay a long time I said why would I stay a long time he said you will stay it's not what he said it's how he said it so I decided not to go because I kept asking what do you mean explain yourself I'm just saying everything about me kept saying something not right was I too suspicious what you think, but anyway I said to him in not coming to visist, and hung up and unfriended him and block
I like what you did. I’m from Nigeria and I will say that you really need to be very careful
Sidenote: i would love to hear that last phrase in comparasion to the other ones you listed 😂😂
I like learning Yoruba, i learnt ose, loruco Jesu.
Òtútù ń mú mi🤣🥶
I been learning a lil something too😂 I’m 48% Nigerian don’t know which tribe specifically yet
Very useful and terrifying
Yes im supposed to go in January im scared now
First to comment 😋
We have a website, please visit www.yorubalessons.com where you can take independent courses, purchase study materials, flashcards and Yoruba related items.
Jeka se lepa, jeka so oriekodo, jeka se kiniyen fun. Someone must japa (pick race)
Damn you so beautiful 😍🇵🇷🇳🇬
Thank you 🤗
if you hear the word etutu, you should be suspicious that someone may end up going to go the the market to buy a N300 bottle of epo (palm oil) some 50 50 Naira pieces of eko/(cornmeal solid pap), Obi (Kola nuts) and N100 clay dish... but if you're a chicken (literally) you might want to consider running/flying for your life....also if you're on the set of a poorly written Nollywood horror movie you might want to run (depending on the script / instructions form the director)
Should have watched this earlier. Yoruba boys robbed me in Abeokuta
So sorry to hear that
I guessed you are from Ibadan
Family members that haven't seen me since I little ask me 'Sogbo Yoruba'!! :( :(
Loool it’s fine when people ask you, it’s only if they’re asking someone else about you and they’re strangers
@@DiamanteBox LOOL okay thank you! 😂😂
What about the word or phrases that uses akata?? I’ve heard different stories regarding that word and what it means
Yes you’re right! Akata is definitely a derogatory word!
I'm yoruba, a lot of my friends keep saying that word is from Nigeria but im yet to find what it's meaning is
From my research, it's literal translation means "stray cat". What I know for sure though is it's used to refer to black American people, usually in a derogatory manner. They refer to us as "stray cats" because they feel the African culture has been stripped away from us.
@@yugfus my understanding is that it translates roughly to panther (so cat is close enough). it was coined around the time the black panthers were active in the US. this is why growing up i have never heard it used in Nigeria, only in the US. not sure how it is recently. maybe it's evolved to be derogatory, that i don't know...
@@yugfus very precise term. I am generally afraid of black Americans.
Blessing, how do i propose marriage to you in yoruba? haha real talk though, love your videos, very informative!
😂😂 thank you
#SIDEWALK KAL, you say, "omoge, mo fe gbé ení ìyàwó."😍😊
@@efemzyekun900 my man!
you looking out for me hahaha! appreciate you
@@Regularguy92 you're welcome bro👍🏿
Hi
DAYO ARIYO hi Dayo!!!
You lookin great sweetie
Thank you 😘
Please can you pronounce sage leaf In yoruba
How do we ask "How was practice?" "How was the Party?"
Bawo ni Party yen? Se o gbadun e?
practice means Igbaradi, so in a context, bawo ni Igbaradi. Ati gbaradi gan ni ( We have really prepared)
Pls what is mi tie Mo
Mi o tie mo? Can be shortened to this. It’s I don’t even know
Wow! I don’t think I want to go to Nigeria now.
thinkglobally123 then you shouldn’t want to go anywhere in the world lol. Bad things happen everywhere. Just be careful. I’m sure someone could make a video about wherever you live telling people to be careful, it doesn’t mean it’s all bad.
Jeka lo withdraw 😂
😂
Marry me! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰
Hello! I am a writer and I found this channel because I want to write a short story about Nigerians and make the language as authentic as possible. Could I e-mail you some questions if I wanted to get a little more detailed answers? Thank you very much!
Why do you want to write a short story about Nigerians? Why can't you pay for research?
@@FanticeyLockheart some folk are too lazy so one can pass it off as their own and not cite it.
“Should run off you hear” lolol.
It’s hard to hear you when this too many commercials
Aunti stop exposing us naw
😂😂 I don’t have a choice now
You are funny. Why do you referred to baba as negative? Are you referring to babalawos? Baba means father, is it not
Oscar Coreo Contreras yes I meant babalawo lol, they call him baba
Diamante Box how odd. I met a few in Ogun state and Lagos. Can’t say they wanted to cut my head off, in fact I found them hospitable and brotherly. So I joined them but keep posting these videos. It’s helpful to learn and take care.
Oscar Coreo Contreras the babalawos themselves don’t want to cut your head off because they don’t need it on their own. But if someone came to them to do a money ritual for example, then those people would have to go and get the body part, the reference to baba in the video is merely that he told them to go and bring xyz.
Hope I was clear
Diamante Box money ritual are for foolish people , very small percentage are even willing to do it reluctantly. The reason is because Not even the wise ones know which one of them will die, and so anybody involved individual can eventually end up the sacrifice. And from what I know, the one person seeking this service usually ends up poor or dead. So I’ve heard
Oscar Coreo Contreras doesn’t stop many people from still engaging in it. Especially if their quality of life is already quite poor, some will say it’s better to get rich or die trying.
Where is safety😐
??
The first one is a bit narrow minded. If someone asks can they hear or understand the language, the two options you gave is way too narrow minded. After that question is asked some people proceed to have conversations thats sensitive and they don't want the person to listen on a private conversation. As a native Yoruba speaking woman, ive seen elders ask another se o gbọ Yorùbá? Because they want to discuss something they dint think I'm age appropriate to hear or want to know if I'll be able to understand whatever they are about to explain to me and sometimes when i hear se i gbo Yorùbá and looo around its two people minding their own business having their own conversation that i just happened to hear
Or the person wants go know how to speak to you, if they can comfortably speak yoruba to you or they will have to use a lot of English, especially if they aren't that confident with their use of English and may need help with translation. Its not always either of the two scary scenarios you painted.
Ma jẹ́ ko sá lọ is also used when an animal has escaped from its enclosure or a thief is running away and someone is shouting ma je ko sa lo, please context matters, you may hear these words but its not even being spoken about you or towards you, look around first and be sure that you're even the subject of the conversation lmao.
Some of the concerns raised are valid but there are very over generalized and very fluid and vague words that you're narrowing down to mean danger when that's not the default case.
The ètùtù one too is so narrow minded lord. Je ka fi eleyi Se etutu or ru bọ́ could literally also be talking about an item or animal, the afe lo eyan is valid because then they are saying they want human sacrifice. But the je ka fè lé yi se etutu has nothing do to with you😂 as long as you're not sitting amongst people and you're the only one who cant speak it and they are making gestures towards you then sure, but if you're hearing won ni ka se etutu or baba this and that loudly as you are passing by, it literally has nothing to do with you and etutu or ru bo is not necessarily a bad thing either, because the purpose and context matters, people use chickens to do etutu for health purposes, ètùtù is nkt some dadk and evil thing that people whisper amongst themselves, its very much loudly and openly spoken about, there are even markets that sell etutu ingridients which are roots, herbs, preserved and live animals, it's all in the open for all to see and visit. please be mindful of fully understanding and breaking down all possibilities before making these kinds of content, stay blessed.
Suspicious doesn’t mean guilty. Telling people things they can be careful of isn’t narrow minded. I’m not sure what your alternative is. The video didnr say hearing these words automatically means danger.
Nothing you wrote invalidates any of the points I made. Just extra information why it may not be suspicious. Doesn’t mean that it also can’t be suspicious.
The content isn’t for people like you who know all the potential possibilities and are already familiar with the area. So I was very mindful of the possibilities before I created this kind of content and I’m happy with it.
Thank you for providing them with extra context though. 😊
You also keep referencing animals. That is super disingenuous when obviously this is for situations where it’s just a foreigner and then. All the animal points is irrelevant to the specific content of this video.
Your examples are all super unrealistic and less likely than the simple points I’ve made in the video. An animal escaped its enclosure in the same vicinity. Bffr.
How often would you hear these😂. You’re getting people scared
Lol i literally say in the video, that it's unlikely, it's a safety precaution. How often do you call 999 but aren't you glad you know the number just in case?
❤️🤪
