Poverty t’o fe ma finesse [Die]
: – – that wants to be outwitting me [die!]
Maye t’o ni greediness [Die]
: to-be-scammed-client that has greediness [die!]
MEANING: Maye (synonyms: client, maga, lead, customer, etc) is a popular word that Yahoo-Boys (internet fraudsters) used to reference (among themselves only) their scam victims. These days, however, this term (including most of its synonyms) has gone beyond the original meaning; and so, could be neutral slang used to reference ‘who is to pay you’ for any service or so.

Ti o ba ti tobi bi Eniola Badmus [Die]
