Top 15 Slang From Nigerian Music That Has Taken Over The Street [pictures] by aNAIJAFAN(m): 10:54pm On Dec 09, 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.

1.Doro
Slang Credit: Mavin Records
According to Dr Sid, Dorobucci means a person or an
individual that is awesome, amazing, rich, swagged-
out, sexy and buff. Any word that qualifies greatness,
that’s Dorobucci. ‘Bucci’ means anything that is
amazing, fun. Doro makes Bucci a person, Doro
personifies Bucci so you’re Doro, and I’m Doro. This table is Doro, anything is Doro.


2.Koduro Soke
