Why are you 'wearing baby'?
They called it “wearing babies”. Funmilayo revealed that carrying babies on one’s back is far better than using a baby carrier, saying that the latter has been a burden to her neck.

"Baby backing is way more comfortable. That wearing baby in the front no follow. Very inconvenient something. The only good thing about it is that you and the baby are looking at each other."

A white man trying to speak Yoruba
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that the video of a white man trying hard to speak the Yoruba language stirred massive reactions on social media.
In a clip shared by Nigerian Actress Bukky Wright, a Nigerian man stood behind a white man as he reeled out Yoruba expressions.
The white man repeated every phrase the Nigerian man said. Hard as he tried, his pronunciation still came out funnily.
