A Nigerian man living in Sweden decided to
marry a Swedish woman in order to be legally
certified via resident status... but the woman
was not aware of this. She felt he really loved her.
Anyway, seeing that Nigerian men had a bad rap
in that particular part of Sweden, our chap
decided to lie to the lady. He told her he was
from Uganda.
After being married a while, the lady came home one day and
informed our man that she had just met
another Swedish lady who had married a Ugandan
and they must all have dinner together.
The Naija man was worried and wondered how he'd get
out of this wahala (trouble). He postponed and postponed
the dinner until he couldn't find anymore excuses.
Finally, the day came when they were to have
dinner. The other Swede came in with her
Ugandan husband and they all sat at the table.
Our Naija guy was very quiet. "My own
don spoil today" was all he could think.
The two Swedish ladies, wanting their husbands
to mingle, being from the same homeland,
asked them to speak to each other. "Hey! It's
not every day you meet people from home.!"
Our Naija man, being a man of great sense,
decided that he would just speak Yoruba, and the
guy would probably assume he was from some part
of Uganda where they spoke a different
language. So looking across the table he said:
"Egbon Eko ni mi se? Ni bo lo ti ja wa?"( In
Yoruba, this means: "I'm a Lagos man. Where do
you come from?")
The fellow looked up at our friend. His eyes
lit up as he said: "Ah, bobo gan! Omo Eko ni mi
Se! Omo Eko gan gan!" (In Yoruba, this means
"Hey buddy! I'm a Lagos child. A REAL
Lagos child.")
