Good day my indefatiguable nairalanders


I have come in terms with a continuous misnomer common to youths both in real life conversations and on social networks and I would like to know if the response to the question and the way it is answered is suitable for the question.


You are chatting up someone after the hi-hello stuff and the next question that comes is "what's up?" Please how best do you respond to that question and is "fine" a correct response to it as many would give?


Thank you!

you reply 'nothing is up'...hian

well, u can jes make it livelier dan 'fine' by saying something lyk 'mehn,today was rily fun for me o'

You : what's up?
Me : it's not up yet. It's still flaccid.

am good is the right answer

possible replies:
- I am good and you?
- not much, and you?

I will said dat nothing

Jackeeh:

that is wrong right

Really, I think what's up should be another way of asking "what's happening."

But people take it to mean "how are u."

opsy67:
that is wrong right

Yes it is. That's y I use it only when chatting with my tightest pals who understand the joke.

Jackeeh:

ok are you a comedian ?can you joke pass me

..

Right reply

"nothing much, just there" then ask, "how are you doing"

Jackeeh:
You : what's up? Me : it's not up yet. It's still flaccid.

Many of the Nigerian ladies will reply your "what's up" with "K" "Okay" "KK".. The kindhearted ones will reply "fine" without "and you?" Very boring chat-mates.

and then you have to try to make her converse/share/talk..... you talk a little about yourself then ask her a question so she can share a bit about her (ask questions that cant be answered by a YES or NO).

Same thing. When i notice they are replying the one-sided "okay", "fine", "yes" etc., i try this your method. Talk a lil' about me, my ambition, my family, my hobbies etc. But when you ask her to say hers, she goes; "I'm busy" or "not now".

It's not all of them though, that's why i used "MANY" of them. But the majority that falls in these group are usually the unlettered ones.

That one kills me like mad. If any lady tells me "K", just forget the chat

"I'm Fine" or "i'm good" has always been the answer. Try telling your boss "the fan is up" then you'll know what is up really there.

The sky is up should b d best reply

"The sky is up" should b d best reply

after talking a bit about yourself, if you ask someone "what about you?" and she replies " i am busy" or "not now" thats the time for you to leave/drop. you win some you lose some, no biggie!

Sky is up

LOL. When it comes to chatting, many Nigerian girls bore one the fúck out. I prefer my non-Nigerian ladies when it comes to chatting, the convo is always two-sided and they sprout out ideas to chat about easily.
