I don't mean this the wrong way but I don't see how anyone can think those words English.

FA FA FA...FOWL!

So people exist who think these are English words? Wow!

him, nice!! u forgot 'jare'

these are words the average Nigerian uses when speaking english on daily basis. i bet most of us think they are really english words while some know they are not but still use them because they have been sort of accepted as correct. they are no longer considered blunders in grammar by Nigerians but if you dare use them during interviews and other corporate activities you are on your own (oyo). here they are:

1. sef: we often use this word in place of "anyway". i hear people say things like "what is it sef"?

2.eiya or heiya: this is used when u feel sorry for someone. for example, if a friend tells you armed rubbers attacked him your response will most likely be "eiya, hope they didn't injure you sha"?

3. sha: as you can see i used it in point 2 above. Nigerians use it in place of the word "though". here is an example; "I am tired but i will still work sha"...i am very much guilty of this point right here. when i use the word "though" most people don't seem to understand me.

4.na: hmmm, i don't even know the english word that can be substituted with this. we tend to use it when we are trying to make something clear to people. here is how we use it:

john: which of them bro?

james: the black one na

5. joor: this one seems to lack a substitute too. it usually portrays some kind of aggression and anger when used. when for instance, a guy is pestering a girl she might say something like "leave me alone joor".

6. shey: this one is used instead of right. it is often applied when asking question. e.g "you saw Aminu yesterday, shey? notice that it took the place of "right" in the sentence.

how can you ever think that this words are English. ......

which kind secondary school you attend .......nawa o

Hello everyone, i have found a great site to get free airtime,and connect with student. i have tried the website and its working. Just visit this link : http://2goface.com/invite?ref=chezholy #2goface

The word "installementally/installmentally" is a perfect example of a word Nigerians think is an English word. It however isn't.

I used it a few times in a meeting with non-Nigerians and noticed a couple of weird looks of confusion. A few weeks afterwards, my Oga came to ask me what the word meant.



Modified to include the alternative spelling of the Nigerian word :-)

In Abuja we use word like `ba?'

Mostly in asking question. E.g- this is for you ba?
T'was when I came to Lagos that I replaced it with `shey?, abi?' Took some time tho...

joor (jo) means please.


sef is short for self


na is now


shey (se) is short for se o, which means did you.
