Translation help needed

I need volunteers who are fluent in Yoruba, Ibo or Hausa to help me translate some words/phrases, complete with accents and everything! If this is something you feel comfortable doing, and you’d like to earn my eternal gratitude, please let me know in the comments and I’ll email you. You may need to have a camera or a scanner so you can write the words out with the accents (unless you know how to make the accents happen with the computer).

Thank you very much and stay tuned for the Birthday post, coming up in the next 24 hours.

(And no, I’m not talking about Vera’s birthday, though I do wish her a very happy birthday. You should go to her site and wish her happy birthday too!)

**Also, if you’d like to ask me a question to be answered during this birthday celebration, please leave it either in these comments or the comments of the original entry.

    Believe it or not, that wasn’t an automatic post. I can see from the way it sounded why you thought that though. Congrats on your #1 position.
