Nollywood actor, Aliu Gafar, shares light-hearted Yoruba lesson with Asian friend, Quyen
In a heartwarming display of cultural exchange, popular Nollywood actor Aliu Gafar recently shared a light-hearted moment with his Asian friend, Quyen.
The video, which captures this cultural interaction, showcases the actor’s patience and enthusiasm as he guides Quyen through the pronunciation of a Yoruba proverb.
“Wi ni, wi ni, l’oju orogun, eji wo ro l’oju iya e.” The proverb is used in praises of twins in Yoruba land and its interpretation goes thus; Although they might look tiny or insignificant to a malicious rival, but twins are precious to their mother.
While it may have initially appeared challenging for Quyen, the exchange was filled with laughter and camaraderie, highlighting the joy of cross-cultural connections.
As the video unfolds, it becomes evident that teaching a proverb from a different culture can be both fun and educational.
Although Quyen may have eventually given up on perfecting the Yoruba saying, the attempt itself served as a memorable and enjoyable experience.
