They thought Nigerians won no gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics that ended last week.

They don’t know what they are talking about.

How many gold medals did Nigerians win in the last Olympics?

Lots and lots of gold medals.

But how many gold medals did NIGERIA win in that Olympics?

None.

Naija go just wear face mask, make dem no rekognise am, begin they jump pole vault for the nation of Fromburg.

Even sef if dem wan award am gold medal, he go still wear face mask.

So long dem no fit rekodgnize am for village say “Naw be dat geh wey dey sell palm oil for Inalende market be dis dey run for Fromanica?” there is no wahala.

Na lie?

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.”
