3. “Merry Christmas” “Shame to you”

4. “Shut up” “Shut down” OR “Shut up” “Your mouth”
Sometimes they can even add, “Shut in”, “Shut out”, “Shut left” or “shut right”. But why stop there, we could have also added “Shut Highway” or “Shut Campus”. Oh… wait, it’s our ineffective education system that does that one.

Why is it shame if I want to see my mummy? I’m pretty sure this was started by all those wicked aunties in kindergarten that carry your food from your lunch box and eat it.
6. “What?” “Water and garri make eba that you’ll eat on your wedding day”
Seriously? Like, seriously? How did wedding day enter now?
7. “Why?” “Because Y has two branches and a long tail”
Oh, you don’t mean it! I didn’t know it! I would scream, “But whyyyy???” But I guess we already know the answer to that.
