Oga in Nigerian parlance means boss or senior, where does the word come from. Is it yoruba, igbo or hausa word? |

ibide: It is an urhobo word  since when or Urhobos too are now Ijaws that claim ?When you hear names like Ogayemi, Ogajumi, Ogasimi, or towns like Shagamu-Oga etc you think they are urhobos  Ok it is of yoruba origin particularly of Ijebu. http://www.ikoroduoga.net/history.html |

No doubt, many words we use in pidgin English originated from Yoruba language, e.g oya, nko, shebi, oga, jare, jor etc. But Urhobo people have a special way and slangs in pidgin which makes it interesting |
