Mr Yeyeman was odd.
After years of boyi-boy work with his Oyinbo expatriate oga, he decided to name his sons with the English words most frequently used in his master's house.
So his sons were christened Poo, Get lost and Manners.
One day as they played in their Mushin neighbourhood Poo fell into a large bin. Manners dived in, searching frantically for his brother. He screamed "Get lost, go around the corner and summon help !"
So Get lost ran fast and thanked God when he saw a Mobile Policeman.
Here's what transpired.
Get lost: Help help my brother is in danger.
Mobile police: What's ya name ?
Get lost: Get lost !
Mobile police: (now reaching for his Bulala) Pardon ?
Get lost: I said Get lost Yeyeman.
Mobile police: Where is ya manners ?
Get lost: Round the corner in the bin looking for Poo!
COME SEE BULALA.
