[00:00:13]Let's talk about iso iso.

[00:00:19]You see the word she is to do.

[00:00:27]To do. So I want to do a walk now is the act of doing or doing in that way. is now the word row.

[00:01:07]Rope is to stand.

[00:01:14]See, that's where you get the word do.

[00:01:18]Rope, which means to stand up, right? So that's where you get many few words in Euroba like for rapper for empowerment. I'll explain that in subsequent when you search for empowerment you then see how the correlation between them. But when you say row which means to stand to be up right you know. So when you then say you are saying which means the doings the happenings that keeps you on your toes that keeps you standing right and that's word that's word for problem in English is but we've been taught differently that when you have problem you should say I have a problem.

[00:02:18]But in Yoruba, Yoruba says that she that keep me that keeps me on my toes and say I must submount this. This must not overcome me. The doing that keeps you standing and say how am I going to get out out of this? What am I going to do?

[00:02:37]It keeps you on your toes, your mind, your alert to make sure you smon it. So when you say I have a problem say that means I must not be found lazing around. I must be upright to face that thing headlong and say I must summon you. Right? So ishuru is problem and it goes beyond just say problem is saying that hey I now is not the time to joke around.

[00:03:08]this is the time to stand up and face this thing that wants to to get me off you know in that space. So when you say oh I have a problem you say that means I have something that is keeping me on my toes and something that I must summon right um I don't like you talk about problem so is problem it in sentences five sentences eh
