4. JJC

JJC is the abbreviated form of “Johnny Just Come”. We use this word to refer to newcomers in a place. We also it to refer to people are slow on the uptake of important issues.

Johnny Just Come is not exclusively Nigerian oga.

What Nigerians should push for through our linguistic expert is for the inclusion of the world in English vocabulary as colloquial.

With time it will gain traction and we will be used in contemporarily.

At least over 150million people can recognize the meaning of the words listed here and it takes less that number for a word to be recognized.


We have many things to learn in this country.

8. Jara/Fisi
This word refers to the extra someone adds to stuff you bought from them. Who doesn’t ask for jara in the market?
I remember our neighbors in Ketu in the early 90's, Mama funmi will request for jara and fisi for everything she buys even if the fisi is just 10grains of rice, she always shouts at her daughter then " funmi ma ra ewa ni odo iya chinedu o ko ni fisi, losi odo iya wasiu ni yisa omotunde tori o ma fisi" the daughter will grumble before going to five streets ahead just to get the fisi that comes with a derica of beans. Nigerians still love jara and fisi till today even when we buy plots of land.
