Me too! I say it too when she says it. every time. I like her reports too. I think she must get flack for being less than droneful, and you can tell by her tone that she really does not like doing the fluff pieces. i can see her REALLY wanting to lay into the international community for not rallying to eradicate ebola more forcefully. finally ~ da-KAA ! Yessssss.

Ofebia, the way she says “Dakar,” and other relevant stuff was discussed in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=16271367#post16271367) in May 2013 about great NPR reporter names.
