As Nigerians particular brands have made our lifes so sweet and substitutes are referred to with the name of our first brands.

Among the ones that I am a culprit include:

1. All fast foods are referred to as "Mr Biggs". It was the most popular fast food years back. when daddy is leaving the house, "Daddy, buy Mr. Biggs for me". Like say dem wan buy d whole building.
