ENGLISH TRANSLATION

The Yoruba adage that “Whoever has not been made glad by God that is licking sugar will die of pile” is in support of the research that showed that most people drink and eat more fatty, salty and sugary food when they are depressed. Unfortunately, instead of coming out of depression, bad diet containing too much fat, salt and sugar will only add more health complications such as pile, hypertension and a host of other diseases.

Tasty food or alcoholic drink would not lift anyone out of depression or gladness of spirit, but only positive attitude and trust in God.

Happy Easter, do not over feed, Jesus died for the sinners and the poor, as a result if you have, remember those who have none. Youruba said “Eating together is not sweet, if one person is left out”.

Even though we have written about Yoruba Alphabets in the past, it is being re-written to remind readers on how it is pronounced, written and to point out the difference between the Yoruba and English Alphabets.

For example, English Alphabets are made up of twenty-six letter while Yoruba Alphabets are twenty-five. Check out the slides on this page.
