I think this post actually Passed the message it was meant for. Basically, It gives you an insight into the new trend of Nigerian use of English.

in a nutshell, I've gotten a man for you. Let me literally go get a mat for you too.

aboyaji:
4.Literally:One of the most abused word. Literally, which originally meant “in a literal or strict sense,” is so overused that it now has an informal second meaning, ‘figuratively’. Nigerians seem to use it in all their statements whether it fits or not, abusing it all the time.

AfricanApple:
its good to have pointed out these mistakes but its equally wrong for you not to give examples of how they can be used... as in duhhh...

aboyaji:
it's in you. You have grade 1 in using them

latinoKingdom:
hope your apple is still edible?

aboyaji:
10. As usual: This means something that usually happens. However, some Nigerians overuse this word, even in the wrong context. They use it even when they are talking about something that’s not usual.

aboyaji:
3.I was like: Someone is telling a story and the next thing you hear is ‘I was like’, which means, ‘I said’. Apparently, ‘I was like’ makes the discussion more exciting and enjoyable than just saying, ‘I said.’

eitsei:
IN A NUTSHELL you are saying Nigerians are ACTUALLY abusing the English language. FRANKLY speaking we don't care as long as the other person we are talking to understands us, AS IN English is not our mother tongue.
BASICALLY, we should have mastered this but LITERALLY we are abusers of the language LIKE SERIOUSLY what do you suggest we do to stop this?

tosyne2much:
Nice write-up bro, lemme add mine

14. Kitty-Cat:

This original word for this is "pussy cat which refers to a cat but has been transformed by Nigerians to the word "kitty-cat". This word is often used by Nigerian youths basically to refer to what a lady has got under her legs Instead of the word "I want to love make to my girlfriend", our so called leaders of tomorrow now use the word "I want to bleep my girlfriend's kitty-cat" as a synonym.

Can you just imagine the quality of future leaders we are breeding ?

aboyaji:
The next time you want to use these words in a sentence, you should know the meaning and ask yourself if it fits.

How many of these words are you guilty of?

Lalasticlala, Oga tosyne2much, naijabuoy, etc. Which are you guilty of?

Perfectdanny:



Between her legs sir or thighs as the case may be.

At least u gat what I was talking about

aboyaji:
12. Technically: This word means, ‘according to the facts or exact meaning of something, strictly’, but we just can’t stay away from it even if what we are saying is not the exact meaning.

naijafox:
Anytime a person start a sentence with *actually * just know they want to lie, for example
Jennifer - u collected my number and u haven't called all this while ,why?
Tunde - actually, ----------------+--++++++-++++++++
