Monkey No Fine, But Him Mama Like Am

1. A popular Nigerian phrase (in Pidgin English) that implies that 'ugly' people cannot be loved by anybody other than their mothers, based on the belief that mothers generally love their kids regardless.

2. May have originated from the English saying, "a face only a mother could love"

Obasanjo is a typical example of monkey no fine, but him mama like am
