NobleAngell: Sounds too crude to be true, but yeah it is. It is correct to say "Clap her" rather than "Clap for her" Back to the thread, I know some people will be surprised that a word like "Agbada" the male robe is in d dictionary and the supposedly English words are nowhere to be found. |

BrightEye: Op, it shows you don't live in Lagos for you not to know that ''Go-slow'' is actually used right, the traffic congestion is delibrately delayed. Screen touch, Who calls it that ? Wake-keeping, Lol , well thats because Nigerians could spend years celebrating the dead, rather than a day , so it is contineus, kikiki Disvirgin makes more sense than disflowering, for crying out loud, our ladies ain't crops, they are humans. |
