This a lively information about one of the old Yoruba culture.
It was sent to me by a niece of mine. I thought I should share it with you.
It goes like this:
YORUBA MOTHERS!!!
Yorùbá mothers are one of the best when it comes to child upbringing.
Yorùbá mothers produce the best range of slaps: IGBATI,
IFOTI, IGBAJU, IGBARUN, IFORUN, IFAKUN, ILADI, ABARA.
These slaps will make you think you were adopted.
IGBATI will make you correct your wrongs instantly!
The beauty of IFOTI is, you will confess your sins on the spot.
IGBARUN, IGBAJU and IFORUN will make you expose
those who committed the crime with you without hesitation.
ABARA and ILADI will make you pee in your new pants.
Now ABARA is the worst...
And apart from IGBAJU, we have an advanced one which
is IGBAJU OLOYI.
When you receive that one, you'll lose balance and your
head will spin and go into "auto-search" as you'll be looking for
what hit you. This will make you do all the actions of the
other slaps aforementioned at once!
OH! IGBAJU OLOYI... it can reset someone to 3D (DEAF,
DUMB, and DAFT). She will say let's go home and u will
say "it's in my pocket ma!"
God bless our parents for the good upbringing. If you
were brought-up in Yoruba land, regardless of how
caring your mother was, you'd have encountered these
slaps ....
I knw u re laughing unless u re not a Yoruba.
NOTE!Please do not try this with your child(ren) if you live abroad especially the USA.
This is the 21st century and there are other better ways you can correct besides IFOTI etc.
Enjoy your weekend!
