Thats Naija for you...we are giving them clues even in their own language. Am so sure such words will soon be imported into the dictionary.

Correct. They will soon find their way into the dictionary. After all computer online search has some of them already.

You forgot to add "TRAFFIGATE"

Always thought this had something to do with the roman god vulcan who was the god of fire, metalworking, and the forge

sammysammy111:
recently i heard some children speaking "clap her" instead of d normal " clap for her" dat i no, i asked someone and d person confirms it dat its true, so oga pls is dat d new way of saying " clap for her?

ROTFL. Can't stop laughing. Clap her koh slap her ni.

8. PensionEEr (instead of PensionER). 9. Atm card (instead of debit card or credit card).

the 5th rat must die by hanging

I always laugh at threads like this where the op feels the invention of words by Nigerians should not see the light of the day perhaps because it is Nigerian? And nothing good can come from us?

Yet the Hot boys(Lil Wayne,Birdman,Juvenile and co) can invent bling bling, southafricans can invent kraal from their dutch/"boerish" tongue and other word inventions that are been added to the English lexicons frequently (especially the techies own!!!) But Nigerians cannot invent theirs?

What is the meaning of dab?the expression itself is what I do when I sneeze yet some no chains/migos peeps can turn it to a lingo that would soon be accepted in the English lexicon?

The o.p should expansiate on the subject

Lol dats 9ja 4 u!!

who tell you say disvirgin no exist? Obama still use am talk yesterday. [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font]

Thanks for d advise

Another one is PRACTICALIZE. I listened to one professor use it on Sunrise Daily at Channels TV.

what of joystick and kitty cat r they in d dictionary?

sladimeji:
adonbilivit

NO adonbilivit

Op that one na ur headache. I go de speak English anyway I feel comfortable as far as my fellow 9ja man flows with me. Go to China, India, some European and American countries, even in US, they don't bother themselves whether their English is correct or not. But here we are killing ourselves because of a foreign language. Abeg Park one side joor.

Interesting

You forgot:
Brake down,
Reverse back,
hold up,
Traffigator, Pointer to mention a few wrongly used words.

Segadem:

.
Check ur dictionary bro. VULCANIZER: The equipment used for the vulcanization of rubber

This can't fit be true. so which one correct na?

Okay. Thanks!

Trafficate (trafficator).

Correct word is indicate (indicator).

We have every fvcking right to use whatever word we want as long as we are communicating.


If I say, shkklejndhdldnhjdkjfnsdnfjfj, and d person I was talking to understands it, what's your biz?

Crously no one is saying there is God oo Abi una don forget mama P ni.

You didn't add STARTMENT. I've heard people use this word lots time but couldn't find it in the dictionary. they use it especially when referring to entry level salary of establishments.

Opportune is an adjective Not verb,bt many Nigerians dnt knw,I will come to ur house in an opportune time Not if I am opportuned

nice one

moscobabs:
impossibility: This word doesn't exist in my own dictionary cos everything is possible for those that rely on God.

can you fly, can u go for 10yrs witout food or water, can u walk on ur head, can you drink a whole tank of water ??
I'm waiting

tosyne2much:
Very insightful


OP, you forgot to add kitty-cat


But wait oooo ! How come we don't speak these kind of gibberish here in Ekiti?

It is spoken in ekiti maybe not close 2u.

This is cool; I had never heard of these Nigerian words, with the exception of "opportuned" - I've seen that on the internet.

Every country has its regional linguistic variations. In the Western world, we all know about the differences between American and Australian English, but we don't often get to hear how English is spoken in non-Western places.

Is there much influence of native Nigerian words on Nigerian English?
