It's not an excuse. They just do. Example, after the wedding affairs comes the thanksgiving party the following day, and so forth for each occasion. They celebrate life, that's Yoruba for you.

You don't need to start learning the various Nigerian languages the are over 200 . Am Nigerian I don't even understand what she is saying, so just enjoy the song my dear. Music is a language on its own

[@quduswahab1398]

If you wanna no more about her culture, google YORUBA people

[@lanreoginni5611]

If you want to learn simi's language particularly. Then it is called YORUBA. There are tons of video on you tube you can learn basic words and their meanings. However, Nigeria is a country of about 250 languages, if Nigerian languages is your interest. Learning a new language is always welcome, am starting Swahili lessons soon
