**You know you're YORUBA IF**
--------------------------------------
*You’ve drank Maltina before
*The only reason you dance at Nigerian parties is to get
'sprayed' money
*Your parents add 'O' to the end of every sentence:
Shutup-O! Get me water-O!
*You’ve been called an 'AGBAYA!' if you are the oldest
and one of your siblings acts up
*You’ve been called an 'IJOT' more times than you can
count by your parents
*You’ve been slapped for not greeting someone well
*You’ve gotten in trouble for giving an elder something
with your left hand
*You gotta call all the older Nigerians you know uncle or
auntie even if they are not related!
*Your parents talk REAL loud on the phone
*You get calls at 3 in the morning from relatives asking
for money
*Your parents buy phone cards on a weekly basis
*Your parents ask “Why don’t you bring your friends to
your own house??'
*You know who King Sunny Ade and Salawa are
*When Shina Peters' Afro Juju comes on at a party, you
lose your mind!
*You know what chin chin, puff puff, or moyin moyin are
*Your parents like eating Garri & Water as a snack
*You can pick which you like better, Eba or Amala
*There is ALWAYS white rice in your house
*A party starts at 6 and you show up at 10, and most
people are still not there yet
*You’ve had a family member staying over for a long time
*You say 'Amen' a thousand times when you pray and all
the parents know the exact time to say it.
*You always hear your parents say 'Ah ah!'
*Your parents threaten to send you 'back home' when you
misbehave
*Your parents call Ramen noodles 'indomie'
*You point at something with your lips
*You always have maggi cubes in your house
*You are mad that your clothes now smell of stock fish
and stew
*You gotta pronounce your last name 20 times for people
and they still don’t get it rite!
*You're laughing at this stuff because you can relate to
some, if not most of them!!
