JOKE 0F THE DAY

A Nigerian man living in Sweden
decided to marry a Swedish lady in
order to be legally certified via resident
status… but the lady 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.
Upon marriage, 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 somewhat
perplexed, although not perceptibly,
and wondered how he'd get out of this
spot. He postponed and postponed until
he could do so no more.
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 chappie
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.!" they
admonished.
Our Naija man, being a man of great
savvy, 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 loosely
translates to: "I'm a Lagos man. Where
did you come from?" Remember, Lagos
is a state in Nigeria, and it used to be
the capital.
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 loosely translates to
"Hey buddy! I'm a Lagos child. A REAL
Lagos child!"
