I think it stems from the yoruba way of talking. Many of those words are either yoruba or coined by the yoruba speaking part of the country.

Nope. It is present in Igbo. I also suspect it's present in some of the other languages for the purpose of creating emphasis

Oso oso = fast/quickly
Gburu gburu = round
Ngwa ngwa = quickly
Ngwo ngwo = load
Oyo oyo = dearie
Nganga = to show off
Nlecha Nlecha = to preen/show off
Ashi ashi = To lie
Mbumbu
