GBAGBOS LIVE, NO DUPLICATE! "BABEL OR BABYLON" equal to Language Confusion!

This calabar man and the lzon man (ljaw) were friends.
Both of them owned a car which they used for a joint business. One day the car became faulty and they called in a mechanic to fix the fault. But unfortunately, instead of fixing the fault, he got other parts of the car damaged.
They were so angry that they arrested him and charged him to court. On the first day of the court's proceedings, the following was recorded.

This was what their statement reads: 
Our Lord, we are not joking. The agent jack the car up. Since he was short, he jumped up and down trying to change the seat.

But their accents marred the English Language.

CALABAR MAN: Oka yudge. The ayent na yort man. The ayent yack am up.
He come yump up and yump down.  Nor be yoke O!
Yus to yange the tyre.

IZON MAN: Oga Zudge. The azent na sort man. The azent Zack am up.
He come zump up and zump down. Nor be zoke O!
Zus to sange the tyre.

WAHALA NOR TOO MUCH!
