In Yoruba: Aki’ni nje aki’ni, a’finihan nje a’finihan, ewo wa ni ti eku aro o, ara Ibadan, l'ojude Sodeke?

English Translation: Greet if you want to greet, betray if you want to betray, which one is Good Morning Ibadan Indigene in front of Sodeke’s house? **knowing that sodeke lothes Ibadan Indegene.

USAGE

This adage is used to challenge traitors to stop pretending and show their true colors.

FURTHER EXPLANATION

Sodeke was the founder of Abeokuta; the third Seriki of the Egba people who led them away from their several villages to the new place of relative safety. During the inter-tribal wars of the 19th century, Ibadan people were considered enemies to be killed in Abeokuta.

So, for someone who is aware of what is happening in Abeokuta, to be greeting and calling out Ibadan Indigene infront of Sodeke’s house shows the true intent of such fellow. So be true to yourself and be true to others.
