12 Slangs Nigerian Music Has Taught Us by hatux: 3:25pm On Sep 20, 2015
This photo post is a memes collection of some widely used slangs originated by some top a-list acts in our Nigerian music industry today that have gone on to form a major part of our conversational vocabulary especially in vernacular communication.

Enjoy watching, and do well to comment any other popular slangs culled from Nigerian music that you might have knowledge of.


“Baddo”
Slang credit: Olamide
Baddo would be the term used to connote the act of lauding someone’s reputation at a particular art, one who is especially willed at the doing of it.



“Jonze”
Slang credit: D’Prince
Jonzing can otherwise be related to an excessive feeling of one’s self.


“Fi le… Don Touch It!”
Slang credit: D’Banj
This is synonymous especially to broadcasting stations when they require you to stay tuned and not touch that dial.


“Smellos”
Slang credit: Olamide
As at the time when “frosh” was the in-thing for n*ggaz, smellos became the exact opposite in response.


“No Shaking”
Slang credit: 2face Idibia
This term expresses one’s state of being/a temporary state of affairs.

Respect to Olamide..
He has created enough slangs already

Besides, "file don't touch it" is not a slang undecided

“Alobam”
Slang credit: Phyno
Alobam would be an alternative term for addressing ‘your brother from another mother’ aka ur padi. This is especially common to the South Eastern folk.


“Shoro Niyen”
Slang credit: Olamide
If you must express astonishment at some kin yarns, shoro niyen is the perfect reply to such.

Saying the koko is like intensifying one’s expression on a subject matter.



“Notin De Happen”
Slang credit: 2face Idibia
This ascertains a state of chill.


“Wassuputunu”
Slang credit: Lynxxx
Wassup has become a generally accepted style of greeting, popular with the youthful folk. It is also a basic conversational starter.



“No Long Tin”
Slang credit: D’Banj
This is synonymous to another popular local parlance, no wahala also expressing a state of being.


“Turn Up”
