Yoruba Mothers!!! by walexy2k: 7:46am On Sep 25, 2014
Yorùbá mothers are the best when it comes to child upbringing.

Yorùbá mothers produce the best range of slaps:
IGBATI,
IFOTI,
IGBAJU,
IGBARUN,
IFORUN,
IFAKUN,
ILADI,
ABARA.
These slaps will make you think you were adopted.

IGBATI will make you correct your wrongs instantly!

The beauty of IFOTI is, you will confess your sins on the spot.

IGBARUN, IGBAJU and IFORUN will make you expose those who committed the crime with you without hesitation.

ABARA and ILADI will make you pee in your new pants.

Now ABARA is the worst...

And apart from IGBAJU, we have an advanced one which is IGBAJU OLOYI.

When you receive that one, you'll lose balance and your head will go into
"auto-search"
as you'll be looking for what hit you.
This will make you do all the actions of the other slaps aforementioned at once!

OH! IGBAJU OLOYI...
it can reset someone to 3D (DEAF, DUMB, and DAFT). She will say let's go home and U will say it's in my pocket ma. Lol

God bless our parents for the good upbringing.
If you were brought-up in Yoruba land, regardless of how caring your mother was, you'd have encountered these slaps ....

I know U're laughing unless U're not a Yoruba

Lmao...OP, what made you bring this up? grin

Igbati - synonymous with a short-lasting ringing sound in the eardrum.

Ifoti - a longlasting ringing effect coupled with a hollow emptiness. In other words, loss of hearing! In this state you experience what astronauts hear in space.....emptiness!

Igbaju - upon its delivery you are guaranteed to confuse your right turn with the left. Your gyroscope is dislocated and you oscillate in the wrong direction. Yes sir, oscillate!

Igbarun - this is an antidote for slow motion. When you are stung by it you fast forward sharp sharp!

Iforun - this treatment makes you wonder if your parents are your gods or if there is a higher God above them. If the Iforun was delivered on the appropriate skin surface you are guaranteed to spend several days twirling this question in your mind.

Ifakun - if this was delivered right after a meal....you are doomed! You are still doomed if delivered at any other time but you will at least be able to stand upright.

Iladi - this is like oyinbo time out!

Abara - the mother of all slaps! Abara is synonymous with those electrical plates they apply in hospital to shock a failing heart back to rhythym......except that Yoruba Abara is not designed for frail children, it can shock the heart into terminal stop. In fact it induces palongo dance in children....that's how potent it is!
