We all remember that in public primary schools in Nigeria, the teachers always tell the students to speak English and not vernacular.

In this particular class, there was a little Yoruba boy who had just came from the village and spoke very little English.

One day he had to go to the bathroom (toilet to Nigerians) real bad and this is the conversation that ensued.

BOY: Teacher, igbose ngbo mi, mo fe lo yagbe (I have to go to the toilet real bad).

TEACHER: Stop speaking vernacular, you have to speak English before I can let you go.

Since the boy cannot express himself, he stood in front of the classroom shaking real bad, all of a sudden, he thought of a way to tell the teacher what he needed to do in the little English he understood.

BOY: Teacher, shaking leg is shaking me, I want to go and tear bush!

All the other students busted out laughing including the teacher who just had to let him go before he did his business on the floor.
