Imagine if ATM s in Naija speak our dialect
If U are in a sophisticated area like
BANANA ISLAND, here is how the ATM would
communicate;
ATM: Welcome Mr. Adenuga. -Please, enter your
secret number.
-How much will you like to withdraw?
Thank you for banking with us, Mr. Adenuga.
……........
but if you are in a place like MUSHIN, here is
how it will respond;
After a guy inserts his card, inputs his pin,
ATM: Haaaaaaaaaaaa, Omo Iyami, -tuale baba
agba,owo meji fun eyan kan
-omo iya ma je ki won ri numba e...malogo
-se o wa pa?
Guy: Mo wa pa baje baje.
ATM: Elo ni k’omo aye po jade?
(guy inputs 10,000)
ATM: (dispenses cash). Omo Iya, ma jeun lo n
tie.
...............
In a place like IBADAN.
An Ibadan woman inserts her card,
inputs her secret code.
ATM: (In Ibadan tone)
-Ekabo Iyami,e ni soriburuku -e te numba yin ni
kanmo kanmo
-So o sure?
-Elo le fe gba?
(Woman enters N2,000)
ATM: Iya, ko ma s’owo lapo yin ke!
(Woman enters N2,000 again)
ATM: Se ko n se afise?
-Mo ro pe eti yin di?
Mo so pe ko s’owo lapo yin.
(For the third time, woman enters N2,000 again,
thinking it was an error on the ATM’s part)
ATM: (pauses for a while) mo ro pe ori yin ti
buru
-Oma saaro kutukutu ke.
-Alawin laaro ojo aje.
-To ba pe ko o to fa kadi re yo, emi maa gbe je
