There are some words that are common to certain languages in Nigeria. Where do you think the origin of this words are and who started it first e.g Rice Igbo - Osikapa Idoma - Osikapa Hausa - Shinkafa. I am inclined to believe that Osikapa is a corruption of the word Shinkafa. as its more than likely the Hausas had access to rice before the Igbos and Idomas. Do you know the origin of Shinkafa or do you have any similar words that are related in other languages |
