What is she saying now? Christ! Must your people forever speak in riddles? (5.106)
When Iyaloja comes to the prison to talk to Elesin, Simon hears the conversation and finds a lot of what Iyaloja has to say pretty incomprehensible. Naturally, rather than trying to understand, he simply writes them off as riddles—you know, since he doesn't really give Yoruban logic, spiritualism, or perspectives much weight.
