Back to class.

How many people can be really, really true friends?

Or is friendship restricted to just two people?

Is friendship possible among three or more?

First, Yoruba people are cynical about friendship: the culture outright dismisses the notion of friendship as naïve.

“Ọ̀rẹ́ òtítọ́ ò sí,” is an adage that means “There are no true friends.”

“Ojú larí, ọ̀rẹ́ ò dénú,” means “We see the eye service, but the friendship is not deep.”
