The Dictionary, According To Nigerian Auto-mechanics by RetroBoy: 11:44pm On Jan 26, 2016
Everyone who has ever had an encounter with a Nigerian mechanic is familiar with their convenient alteration of words to their benefits.
Here's some examples:
Throttle - Turtle

Vulcanizer - Foganisa

Clutch - closh

Shock absorbers-Shok asoba

Diagnose - diagonize

Panel beater - paneh bita

Bolt - boat

And every nut or bolt is called a 'boris'

Feel free to add yours
