there is anoda angle to this s-h-i-t, @poster, if the NA U BE MY MADAM was said in a question like manner/asked as a question.then it gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, ,,,,,,, |

Fiswu please don't let nairaland confuse u ooo. Pidgin English, a kind of lingo in Nigeria,is kinda hard to interpret in plain English. People will interpret it different ways. You have to look at the context in which it's used. If you interpret it literally (From pidgin to plain English), it means: Na you be my madam -You're my boss Na you biko - It's you please. But the above makes no sense in the context you are talking about. Pidgin english should not be read literally. Most times it looks like one thing and means another. In the context in which he's using it (judging from what you said), he probably means: Na you be my madam - You're my girl, I know you so well/You know me so well ( Note: "girl" could mean a close friend or a girl friend) Na you biko - a slang that means " I doff my hat to you!" or "My hat goes off to you" or " I hail you!". Platnumnk also gave a good interpretation. platinumnk: |

fiswu:okay... On clearer grounds, it means that you are his one and only love... Biko in igbo mean please so direct translation is ' you are my woman. You and only you please....' its clearer if you probably accused him of maybe not being in love with you or accused him of having more than one woman |
