Some words are best left unsaid
Some race are best raced alone
Some space are best lived with no company
Some wars are best fought alone
Let me take you on a journey to somewhere in the south western part of Nigeria. i am a proud daughter of the soil, living and improving on self each and everyday. I was fortunate to meet this elderly man one blessed day like that oo. Something attracted me, and that was his appellation
BABA GBO TI E ( Father face your business)
BABA GBO TI E ( Father face your business)
BABA GBO TI E ( Father face your business)
At first, I was perplexed, it was all written on my face. then i asked, why on earth will both young and old people call him this insulting name, of all the appellation in this world? like hello???
so I called him Baba! (father) this man refused to answer oo, then i called him his appellation Baba Gbo Tie! ( Father face your business)and he responded in Ekiti dialect Tere nikan shaaaaaaaaa (your Business Onlyyyy)
i was at the verge of bursting into laughter but that would have been rude. i greeted him and sat beside him. Then, i asked, baba, why do people call you this name?
He said, this world is just too brutal, for your creator to regret creating you, do you know what that means little girl?
Face your Business only and be gracious while at it
that was his advice to me
that was his advice to everybody
when you greet him, be sure to get same advice as his response to your greetings
hardly will you hear any other word from this man(lol)
"Gbo tie nikan shaaaaa"
