It's hard to believe that CHEI, SEEGE, ABOKI, NNA and many others were not included. Their pronouciation may be different or used differently by the local speakers. Once these words were Lagos-lized, it is hard to give them back to local speakers regardless of how many times some us were corrected. |

I was shocked when I realized that, ‘toto’ is not in the dictionary and no one in the Western world know what it means. There are even companies in the West with that name. This begs the question, if it is a slag; I doubt if it is broken English, since broken English have a somewhat direct phonetic or spelling similarity to its English counterpart. |

OlawaleBammie: Yoruba as a subject in ONE? You mean many USA univerties. Even Igbo and Hausa are attracting some foreign students at the univerties. These days most professional schools require another language, so Spanish is the popular choice in USA and French in Canada. I am not too sure about Europe. |

googi: Dude it’s serious, try google the word ‘toto’ you will see Rick band, music, video, company, etc with that name and nothing remotely close to what we associate that name with. Growing, I thought it was an English word. |

How about "Wahala or Waala" which means trouble, very popular too. .. "Mafo" = Don't be wary or scared.. "Maga"= a victim of dupe or someone outsmarted... "Dopemu" = idiot or stupid.. "Wo"= See or in another context listen.. "Olosho"= Sex worker.. |
