Vuvuzela enters Oxford English Dictionary

















 The long South African horn (vuvuzela) which blasted its way into eardrums throughout the World Cup is now in the oxford English dictionary

The dictionary defines vuvuzela as "a long plastic instrument, in the shape of a trumpet that makes a very loud noise when you blow it and is popular with football fans in South Africa.

interesting though but it doesn't just start... who then says 'adia', 'iko', 'yan', 'sin' in Yoruba is not what the oyinbo people turned to 'idea', 'cough', 'yawn', & 'sneeze' respectively in English? afterall they mean the same thing. Oyinbo and dem copy copy............A-F-R-I-C-A-N-S, let's start to appreciate our own.
