Installmentally
This doesn’t exist anywhere else except only in Nigeria. If you doubt this, just search “Installmentally” on google and watch only Nigerian sites pop up.


Night-Vigil
This is another one I don’t understand. Does anyone ever hold a vigil during the day?


Cunny
This is not meant as a euphemism for the female body part. When Nigerians say this word, they mean “cunning”. How is that for a giant leap forward?


Disvirgin
How hard is it to say deflowered? It must be extremely difficult because even health professionals and newsmen use this absurd word that doesn’t exist.


Wake Keeping (Wake keep)
Nigerians have not only made the old European custom of watching over a corpse till it’s buried (called a wake) theirs, they have actually renamed it. Please, there is no such phrase as “wake keep” or even “wake keeping”.

Nice

ησтєɗ

These are what makes us Nigerians biko.

Shior

Op sorry o, which school are you working for?

When you see a word you use frequently

You forgot to add motorable.

Sentence: Owerri-port Harcourt road is now motorable. Meaning the road is now in good condition.

You forgot to add boys-quarter.

Sentence: The man live in boys-quarter.

You forgot to add jambite.

Sentence: My younger sister is now a jambite. Meaning, she has applied for jamb examination.


And many more.
Nigeria is really a great country but our leaders no agree make we enjoy am.

Nigerians

Ok

So, what is wrong If Nigerians start saying there own english??

Yeah that's Nigerian English. It mustn't be found in the dictionary, Nigerians do not write the dictionary. You'll find it in Nigerian dictionary...

Let me come and be going

Night vigil isnt a word used by Nigerians alone.

English language is dynamic, so if Nigeria adds to its growth e no bad.

So instead of 'wake keep' what should b used.

we have Nigerian english just like saying short knicker instead of shorts, its no biggie as long as you and i understand ourselves

Okay.

Naij Naira

We know but sometimes we decide to use them because its generally accepted just as the correct words may sound wrong to some people's hearing

English made in Nigeria

No word is wrong .....when an authority uses it, it will b dictionarilized

Is english our language?

You should worry more about your grammatical blunder. 5 words Nigerians use that don't exist in the dictionary. Not doesn't.
