Was at a function in Benin. One of the guest, was the classmate of the host in their university days.

She spent all her time talking with the lady besides her in igbo thinking nobody understood her, given that her friend wasn't Igbo and the occasion was taking place in Edo. She had one crazy thing or silly observation or the other to make about the host or the event
