Too bad, my autocorrect (is this a Naija word too?) is Nigerian too, cos it doesn't correct me when I use any of these words.

Chai, my phone is even 'Made In Naija'. embarassed

But computers and other electronic devices can accept them as correct. If they are not in the dictionary, then the frequency of usage and number of users qualifies it to be a dictionary word.

Nonsense. Any word that is not misspelt is a new word.
Who cares if it's not the dictionary. Do you think it's only the English people who have the exclusive right to create new words?
I beg to differ.
Cross-carpetting is correct in so far as it's not coined from an already existing word.

What about the two ENGLISH teachers, were they also OPPORTUNED? ALRIGHT KONTINU! All these girls they DISVIRGIN, Diaris GOD'OO, in everything you are doing. You should bring back our girls INSTALLMENTALLY, we need them in broad day light and with no GO SLOW. And if they are lean, don't worry we will make them PLUMPY again. As my SCREENTOUCH is malfunctioning, we don't want any CUNNY act.
