Well, the 10 bizarre and funny names for certain food and other items that is commonn across the country and that might have been coined out from particular local language which I can't tell myself the Naija language they were coined out from are;

1. Gwugwuru for popcorn

2. Akara for bean cake (don't even know whether I am right, if at all it even has English name)

3. Agidi- ,I also dont even knw if it has English name

4. Kai-kai or ogogoro for alcoholic spirit drinks

5. Chingay for wingged termite

6. Kpokpo garri for' I dont even now how to start coining out the English name

7. Puff-puff for yeast ball (if I'm even right)

8. Kpomo for animal hide

9. Kuli kuli for groundnut ball(I know that I don't even know the English name)
