"Aduro"

I had planned to publish this post late last year...in fact in October precisely. To recount my trip with "Aduro". I was privileged to share the front seat of a 10 seater bus for 7 hours with a young nigerian who has become my friend and the subject of my post.

First let me explain what "Aduro" means. It is a phrase in Yoruba (the major language spoken by the Yoruba people found in Rep. of Benin, Togo &Nigeria in West Africa), composed of a pronoun and a verb

"a" + "duro" = Aduro

"a" is the 3rd personal pronoun plural  and "duro" is a verb which when interpreted, means "to wait" or "stay". Simple put, "Aduro" means "We stayed".
