"Me" in English is also the same thing as "mu" in igbo

ZACHIE: This is misinforming.
The etymologies of the specific words you listed up there are not exclusive, rather borderline assumptions.
Okra,Juju,Tango,etc have much wider spread and use than Nugeria.
The only genuine addition to English language in that list is a Yoruba word: DASHIKI which describes a traditional clothing item.
There are indeed several other words absolved into English emanating from Nigeria b7t certainly not the ones captured by the op in that they are not exclusive.
SUSU is exclusive in area catchment, meaning and application.
I will update this later.

Your award is in heaven

Why do I fine this hard to believe. Fabu! !!!

Okro and okra are two different things; one stands for the seed, the other for fruit itself. They are almost like palm oil and oil palm; one is processed, the other is not.

lepasharon: Juju is a French word

Use your dictionary

419 scam. Its is an english word and originated from Nigeria. It is synonymous to the word 'Advance fee fraud' in Longman Dictionary.

.

So Nigerian now has its own DICTIONARY?

juju has french origins... it means play thing .. jou-jou

lepasharon: Juju is a French word

Sho' you right. Could have made the argument if we'd been colonised by the french. But we weren't as far as I can tell.

francleanflexy: this is very educative
i didn't even know that there was any english word with a nigerian origin, Even though the okro stuff always confused me

then you don't use your dictionary often

7. Kobalize: derived from the yoruba phrase 'akoba' which means 'trouble'. To 'kobalize' someone is to putthe person in trouble.

Eg It was Ade that kobalized him in the exam hall.

Accra was from "Acrayin" meaning "ants". The whites was Ghanaians as ants so they named them so. #iknowaccraisnottotallyanenglishword# [color=#770077][/color][b][/b]
