Nigerians are one of the most creative people on the planet. While non-Nigerians may doubt my assertion,till they manage to invent a popular version of English like we did (Pidgin English), they can keep on doubting.
Although there are many awesome things Nigerians do, we do have some face palm moments. Don't laugh too hard at the five words Nigerians use that doesn't exist in the English dictionary:

1. 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.


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


3. 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.


4. 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".



5. 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?

if they don't exist, who says they can't be invented? if Beyonce invented the word "bootylicious" why can't those words be invented as well, must always follow the rules and miss the fun?

If just a single Japanese invented the word; WORKSHOP. What's bad if a whole country like Nigeria and it's citizens invented those words??

OP, go sleep

Scammer

Scammer... An English word for sure...

Pidgin English is not only spoken in Nigeria, though I'm not sure if it we were the original pioneers of pidgin.


It's spoken in some other West African countries like Liberia and Sierra Leone, if you've ever heard them speak, they sound waffi.

Words are formed through affixation and preffixation, with that I think anyone has should be able to form a new word from existing ones, as this leads to variation of language.

Though most of the times there's semantic interference with language, this also bear new words. This is why I see mathematics simpler as it is universal
whereas, English as difficult caz of it's numerous variations.

What about GYMING at the Gym

10 Nigerian Universities With The Most Beautiful Girls (With Pictures) – You Need To See Number 1

Nigerian Universities with the most beautiful girls – Every University in thiscountry is blessed with beautiful rose flowers. This post is a highlight of 10 Nigerian Universities with the Most Beautiful girls when the average of beauties in each campus is measured.
10. Ahmadu Bello University (ABU)
A school of pretty, intelligent and innocent northern girls. You can hardly find such array of beautiful northern girls in any campus..my future wife is from here..lol!
9. Anambra State University (ANSU)
Filled with blessed future mothers with pretty figures you do like to see every morning when you wake and every night before you sleep.
8. University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN)
The school of lions and lionesses. These lionesses are so intelligent, pretty and homely that you do like to take them to your mama.
7. Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU)
Trust me, I have personally been to this school before. Just incase you decide to write JAMB again or you are writing JAMB now and you see a pretty young girl near you, ask for her school of choice, it will be OAU.
6. Covenant University (CU)
The school for the rich and religious minded… The school for the overly beautiful Nigerian half spoilt/half alright babes. The girls of CU are combination of beauty and Brains and most importantly, these beauty and brains are expensive, I mean, really expensive!!
5. University of Portharcourt (UNIPORT)
A school of solid chicks..i call them ‘Ororo babes’ (oil babes) The Oil money around the vicinity turns even the ugly to beauties. All the beautiful girls you have seen and your head couldn’t understand why a human being could be that beautiful must have a root in UNIPORT.
4. Lagos State University (LASU)
In this multi ethnic city of Lagos, a great deal of beauties from across the country seek admission into Lagos state university, the next time you enter a taxi and you see pretty girl by your side, tell her you are a LASU student or graduate and she will hug you very well and tell you her department.

Yawnsss

op,stop forming ITK...its called nigerians english.

'off head' is a good example of nigerian english and its recognised by encarta dictionary as nigerian english word.
'419' is another nigerian english word that is recognised and used in general english.

We have zimbabwean english,kenya english,south african english etc and they are all recognised form of english(check the languages of most phone,u ll see them )...its because of this over-sabi attitude that make nigerian english in recognised

And who doesn't know all of these?

Expected to see new things
