You will see different gems of wisdom from Yoruba philosophy, or prayers, or praise names of the lorry owner. Boldly printed on the wooden panel above the driver's cabin, or the lorry's body at the sides, or the boarding tail:
Owo Tutu.
Iwa Pele.
Asiko Laye!
Aye Mojuba!
Ajani Baba Mukaila.
Endurance.
Aye Mojuba!
Oba Bi Olorun Kosi!
Mo Beru Agba!
Olorun Lugo!
Jeko Yemi Oluwa.
Eni Afe Lamo.
Jeje Laye.
Alabosi Ore.
Ebenezer.
Aye Kooto.
Moba Oluwa Duro.
Ti Oluwa ni ile.
Eyi o wu a wi!
Let them say.
Enia se pele!
Jeje laiye!
Banuso!
Asela.
Telegan lo soro.
Were n'ise Oluwa!
Aaro lawa.
Ajani Baba Sikira Ibaje eniyan ko da ise Oluwa duro!
Oni lari kosi eni to mola!
Ojo gbogbo bi odun.
A literary genre all on its own.
God bless Yorubaland!
IRE O!
