there is anoda angle to this s-h-i-t,

@poster, if the NA U BE MY MADAM was said in a question like manner/asked as a question.then it gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, ,,,,,,,

Fiswu please don't let nairaland confuse u ooo. Pidgin English, a kind of lingo in Nigeria,is kinda hard to interpret in plain English.  People will interpret it different ways. You have to look at the context in which it's used. If you interpret it literally (From pidgin to plain English), it means:
Na you be my madam -You're my boss
Na you biko - It's you please.

But the above makes no sense in the context you are talking about. Pidgin english should not be read literally. Most times it looks like one thing and means another.

In the context in which he's using it (judging from what you said), he probably means:
Na you be my madam - You're my girl, I know you so well/You know me so well ( Note: "girl" could mean a close friend or a girl friend)
Na you biko - a slang that means " I doff my hat to you!" or "My hat goes off to you" or " I hail you!".

Platnumnk also gave a good interpretation.

platinumnk:

in english its like you are mine,
My madam, can be close friend thats a woman.
since you are not in a relationship nor sleeping together
is justs a friendly way of saying he knows u very well.
Sorta like a friend calling you about something but you already know why shes calling.
So you would be like I know u chick, your my friend.

if he was meaning my madam as in gf, there are better sweet words to use ( like nkem) and since he hasnt used them then hes justs being funny with you  smiley

Oblong,

All kind of hookers in Nigeria, WHY WOULD HE GO TO HAITI OR WANT SOMEBODY FROM HAITI IF HE JUST WANT SOME ARSE?

I'm haitian. I still don't get it.
okay... On clearer grounds, it means that you are his one and only love... Biko in igbo mean please so direct translation is ' you are my woman. You and only you please....' its clearer if you probably accused him of maybe not being in love with you or accused him of having more than one woman
