Greetings through the day
Greet people in the morning, afternoon and evening, and answer a greeting.
Planned. This module is part of the plan and is not written yet.
Why it matters
Greeting people well matters in Yoruba life: a warm 'Ẹ káàárọ̀' to a neighbour, a teacher or a trader is how a good day begins.
