“I beg test your servants fo ten days, and make dem give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. Dat time make see our appearance, and oda youngr men appearance weh dey eat di portion of food weh king dey cook; and after you see am you fit, deal with your servants.” So hin agrer with dem in this matter, and test dem ten days” (Daniel 1:12-14).

“As fo these four young men, God give dem knowledge and skill fo all literature and wisdom; and Daniel get understanding fo all vision and dreams. Now fo di end of di days, when di king hear he talk sey make dem bring dem inside, Di chief of di eunuchs bring dem inside fo Nebuchadnezzar. Den di king do interview fo dem, and among dem all nobody dey qualify like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; dey serve before di king. And fo all matter of wisdom and understanding about wetin di king examined dem, he found dem ten times better pass all di magicians and astrologers weh dey fo all hin realm” (Daniel 1:17-20).
