DeeTus:I disagree, there are certain things in our culture we talk about, in the Nigerian context, that the English don't or won't have a word for, in such situations, should we use an English word or phrase that doesn't convey the sense of what is intended or shouldn't we create a word or phrase that serves the purpose? After all, it is all about an acceptable way of communicating. We don't use penny in Nigeria, anymore, so why should it reflect in my communications with a fellow Nigerian? Koboless is very apt. 2 Likes |

Eke40seven: Well, we've discussed this in a Grammar Group before . Moreover, "me" is a Personal Pronoun used in the Object position of a sentence . They both can mean the same in American English but in UK English; which is the standard - there is a slight difference .

on the contrary koboless and bankruptcy can't be compared. cos you can have lots of money and still be declared bankrupt. That's so if your income CAN'T payoff your debt. so money can be coming in on regular basis but can't pay your "gbese" while koboless is a slang in Nigeria we when one has no money at that instant without reference to his/her gbese |

Mtngiftonline.cf is a scam website (Pictures and Video) Mtngiftonline.cf is a scam website http://www.mtngiftonline.cf is a scam website, it has duped many and will continue to dupe as much as it can. And you could be the next, only if you ignore this post. I am a victim of this, so I don't want you to be a victim too. When I was surfing the net to source for news from various websites, I came across this website (mtngiftonline.cf) which really fascinated me to participate fully well in their activities because of their awuf(bonus) offers. Lol….. When I saw that with 200naira MTN airtime, I will be able to get 5,500naira airtime with a month free browsing and with 500naira MTN airtime, I will enjoy 2months free browsing with 10,500naira MTN airtime (Does it not look attractive to you?). But unfortunately, it is a scam which I fell into. I should have realized in time that it was a scam but I yield not to my conscience (because of the awuf(bonus) offers). The first instance that I should have realized it was a scam was the display of the website (it was not in MTN website format), this means that MTN knows nothing about this activity. click here to read more: http://www.titiloyeblog.com/2017/09/mtngiftonlinecf-is-scam-website.html |

Bentheta:Why should "koboless" be a slang, meaning "penniless" is equally a slang, since the Penny was officially replaced with the Kobo in Nigeria? |
Re: 20 Poisonous Expressions Used By Nigerians; Corrections, Tips And Reasons. by Nobody: 9:51am On Sep 02, 2017 |
menxer:Penny is hard currency. If you have a lot of it can be changed to naira and is valuable. Just illustrated an example here. But unfortunately, you couldn't understand that. Your English is totally awful! |

Good piece. No. 3 should be suit not suite. No. 1 could still fly provided it's 'between Nigerians'. It must not be there way all time when it does not make sense. |
