Ehn, e never pass but e go pass
Don’t say that o. Do you know the implication of that bill? You know the kind thing wey this bill go cause? I dey go join the people wey dey protest today
You! Mazi! You wan go protest?
Ahn ahn, hot yam dey for my mouth as I talk am? While you are here making jokes and doing like deaf and dumb, I am going to join protesters to do something about stopping the bill
How you go talk say na joke I dey make? No be say I dey mock the situation, I just tire for this country; if say this bill pass what next? Another bill to tell us exactly what to say?
See enh Egbon, I no fit talk this bill with you because for your mind the bill don pass but for my own mind the bill never pass and something can still be done about it. If Nigeria don tire you, you know say you fit relocate go Canada where you go dey trek well since you still no wan buy car because you like to dey trek
See me see iron handle. Wetin concern hate speech bill with car wey I never buy? I have not bought a car because I am trying to help the environment and not add to the carbon emissions that is causing global warming.
Ha ha. Wetin you talk now now. Global gini?
Global warming Mazi. You can laugh very well but global warming is real
So you dey here dey trek up and down because of global gini wey never come but to go protest against bill wey dey happen now now be problem

You hear say na Turkey dey fund and supply Boko Haram?
Nna enh, I hear o but you know ehn. I’m not surprised; I have always known that Boko Haram has always had strong sponsorship from somewhere
But dem talk say the closure of boarders go limit the amount of things wey dem dey collect from that Turkey
Mtshw, boarder closure. So if dem tell you say government for this country dey close boarders, you go believe say dem go close the whole boarders for this country. The whole boarders kpatakpata. You wey talk say this country done tire you, you go believe say your government na honest government
See enh, Mazi you just dey tasi me today left right and center, dey give me Gbas! Gbos! Anything wey I talk na problem. Abi your wife quarrel you before you commot house this morning?
My wife no quarrel me, na you just no know wetin you dey talk. you no understand life
