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

I ;I like the way you think

Time to start thinking of developing a special Nigeria English dictionary

They words are actually more than five, some other examples are; Wetin, talk talk, fast fast, eating eating e.t.c

Thats y we special, we can add them to d dictionary to create 'Nigeria dictionary 1st edition'

"5 WORDS Nigerians use that DOESN'T" o o o are we all going to bury the verbs completely? What is this?

Photocopy can't be like original.

English language is very dynamic and grows with a high rate. Most phrases we use are grammatically incorrect but it doesn't undermine the other correct Words or Phrases we come up with.

Since we are an English speaking country,adding to the language in the right way of cause is kinda a natural right.

When you speak you local or native language wrongly nobody cares
When you speaks foreign language wrongly everybody gives u a knock
What matters is understanding
That's y American English defers from British English in writing and pronounciation
Colour color
Water and wora (as pronounced )
Dictionary or no
We knw wot he/she is passing across

....Xcuse mi ,Mr proffesor!!! What should we use instead,for those words abi wetin bad in make we 9ja too add to english dictionary!

I was actually expecting*disvirgin*in the list!!

What about these words Rentage,Witch Hunting instead of witch hunt

Wat is bad in us adding someting to d dictionary?

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

Use Christian wake

You forgot to add dievorce....(divorce)

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

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”.

Pls correct the heading/ topic. It should be.."that do not" not "doesn't".

Ok Sir,My bad

Provie:
Op tell us what to call Harmattan, our best weather that Oyibo does not know about.

Harmattan is Harmattan...Moreover who told you Oyinbo doesn't know about it?
