It depends on what ethnic group your boyfriend is from; the official language is English but we have many tribes (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Fulani, etc).

You sound [type] like you're not a Nigerian. There is no language called "Nigerian" -- in fact there are more than 250 unique languages in Nigeria [according to the last National Geographic count]. Maybe you should find out what tribe he's from or just post his name and/or surname here so that we have an idea of where he's from --- that is, if you want to surprise him.

Bear in mind that most Nigerian languages are not pronounced the way they look on paper [or screen] so someone mighthave to volunteer a voice recording for you to hone your skills.

By the way, I commend you -- you must really love your man very much to try to tell him you love him in his language [I think that's very romantic]. If you don't know how to pronounce it, just write it down and maybe in one of your private moments show it to him and ask him to help you pronounce it. He'll catch on quickly and love you for making the effort. I'm sure he'll be glad to teach you!

I wonder how it will sound-like coming out of your mouth, you don't know how to say it in the simplest form how then will you say it the Nigerian languages. Simply tell him in the best way you can, that is what makes you different from others that have been telling him such.

Anyway and anyhow, whichever comes first, i wish you well.

Tell the person sweet names like honey,sweetheart and stuff like that ,although those names are common but the person that are called these names will admire you,and from there you get along with each other.

God did a very good work on u, biko wont u be my one and only, the only sugar in my tea (by the way, tea sef don dey cost) etc Grin

Just use heavy slap that follows with a kiss to wake him up
      if he ask just say
              O bu ife ifunanya na akpata
                   that's what love brings.
