• Do you think that we never sleep?<br />
• He is not fine. Don't worry him.<br />
• He's not fine he's not fine, are we going<br />
to eat him? Tell him to come out right<br />
now.<br />
• This Kotonu is a failure. Who he thinks<br />
he is?<br />
• Samson call me please, call me and I will<br />
answer Professor with my motto.<br />
• Your mouth stinks like a night-soil lorry.<br />
• Your body and lice are like David and<br />
Jonathan.<br />
• Leave your load, I say leave your dirty<br />
bundle. Leave them. All right, I'm sorry,<br />
I didn't know that these are your<br />
children. Let's all of you walk this side.<br />
If you have a wish to take a look, go and<br />
look somewhere else. You foolish<br />
people, why do you stop and look<br />
around? Black people are too useless,<br />
they are not satisfied until they have<br />
something to stare at. Hurry up, there is<br />
no time to be wasted. God will punish<br />
you, you wretched woman, why are you<br />
carrying your children like that? Do you<br />
think that this is a cowboy movie? Come<br />
out my friend... a-ah, these people are<br />
foolish. And those who show this to their<br />
children? If they start having nightmares,<br />
you better take them to a medicine man.<br />
And to watch another man's calamity you<br />
can go to the cinema as well.
