Bros, È̩ gọ̀ tò báyí? Where will I find data to upload 700 page manuscript? Show this screenshot to your imam and ask him to tell you the truth. Warn him against using takiyya on you

Oya... show us those copies of Quran, to show you're not displaying your ignorance characters and lying habit this time again.

I agree totally with this post. I think it's the American version of English that has brought upon us this kid sibling matter. It is certainly wrong.

Im 8, 11 and 13 years older than my sisters...theyre all my KID SISTERS. i was napkin tire!

Abeg leave it like that for us. That is our own interpretation for younger brothers and sisters. If Britain don't like it that way, let them stay in their country. Na wetin sef.

There are a lot of words and phrases which Nigerians Use wrongly and these include the words; "kid brother" and "kid sister". Please stop referring to your YOUNGER SISTER or YOUNGER BROTHER as " kid sister " or "kid brother" if they're no longer kids or if you're just a few years older than them. I have heard many people use such terms to refer to siblings whom they're just a few years older than and I think it's only proper if we put things in the right perspective.

Your "kid sister" or "kid brother" is a sibling born when you're already grown into adulthood or adolescence at worst, not just any sibling who's younger than you. Please take note.

Please look for better thing to bother about...whether kid bro , kid sister or younger sis, bro, the main thing is that we understand the message being passed. The person in quote is your younger sibling whether you're 20, 100 or 2 years older to me is inconsequential. English is only but another man's language not wisdom.

Hmmm... na wa o!

See warning!!!

So Jman06, you will come an' tell me what to call my kid brother abi?

Thunder!!!

Most of us know this. Even I call my younger ones Kid, I deliberately do it to piss em .

phransix2:
Take the word Kid out completely. I think little brother or sister is even more appropriate.

Kid means.

A young goat.
The meat of a young goat.
A young antelope.

Kid should be used when trying to explain behavioural eg. He acts like a kid (young person)

My own take sha...

Actually my younger brother or younger sister is the apposite adjective to use.

It's either elder brother/sister or younger brother/sister

Op tell that to the American white men too especially the old men they call every young man kid

Noted

Lol... "kid brother" though an informal English, is actually correct. Don't come and confuse us��

There is nothing like "older brother". It is "elder brother".

If u can't tell me what the k in knife is for or why iyon is spelt iron.. Forget it english na scam

I think it's only appropriate if the sibling is at least 7 years younger.

Even Cousin Brother, is your the brother of your cousin not also your cousin.

There was a time the word 'gay' first of all meant 'happy' and could be used to describe one's day. 'Pussy' also meant cat, and was so used in children's songs.

Bottom line is, English is dynamic. It is defined by popular usage and not the other way round. That single reason is why we don't speak the same English people spoke during Shakespeare's time, or during the time of the translators of the King James version.

First, “kid brother” and “kid sister” are NOT Nigerian phrases...

Nonetheless, there’s nothing particularly wrong with the phrase...
Especially because it is usually generally used in the context denoting you always consider the person as the “kid” sibling you grew up with.

If there’s any phraseology issue with Nigerian English...
It is the phrases “Junior Brother” or “Junior Sister” (and don’t even get me started on “Relations” )!

MDBoss:
There is nothing like "older brother". It is "elder brother".

Using the term “an older brother” is actually the more appropriate of those two...
