How can you claim to be Nigerian but you don't know the meaning of 'japa?.' Your Nigerian passport should be seized and you should be detained and sent to a re-education camp.

No need for re-education camp when Nairaland and Igbodefender are here.

Are you aware that the word "Japa" is not frequently used in Nigeria?
Are you also aware that Pidgin has variations?

Japa is a word frequently used in the south west (Lagos) not the whole of Nigeria.
