what's wrong with *who is the last person on the queue*?

please i want to know because i say that alot.

It's the response. If am asked that question on a good day I will sweetly reply yes. On a not so good day... 'am not the last ijn' is my response. Then on a bad day.. 'do you see anyone behind me?'.

Some people can be over sensitive spiritually in this part of the world.

I went to a bank one day and there was this long queue, some people were sitting down since they could no longer stand, I politely asked one yoruba woman if she was the last person on the queue. O boy! You need to see how she was binding and casting that day. Fear grip my spine.

To be honest, we need to have our own English in Nigeria, we are big enough. Even though some people will think we have pidgin English already buy hey, news flash we know speak pidgin reach some of African countries.

But this new thread on Twitter got my attention and I can't stop laughing at oir naija English. Its a new thread started by Femi Coker @femifactor and it has been trending like fire.

The thread is about some English Nigerians speak that only make sense in Nigeria. Is not a correct and acceptable English though but when you speak to a Nigerians like that, he knows everthing you mean...lol

Check out some of them below and comment your own ooooo. Mine: Let me come and be going.
