Many of these words are not called twice. They are one single word. Fufu, juju, dodo, bobo are pronounced as disyllabic words.




As for some of the other words like tom tom, they are not peculiar to Nigerians. Tom tom is called tom tom the world over. There is a type of drum called tom drum or tom tom drum which originated from Asia. Tom Tom is also a brand of menthol flavored candy.




Bumbum is not a Nigerian word. It is a Brazilian slang for women's buttocks (especially, big buttocks).




What the heck is tummy tummy




However, I agree with the rest like chin chin, puff puff, Jedi Jedi, etc.

@SharingIsLife. These were the words I was actually expecting to see in your thread.



Not foreign words like tom tom or bumbum.

Is this how dumb Nairaland/Nairalanders have become?

I am not surprised. Afterall Ṣeun Oṣewa spends most of his time on "twitter", washing the feet of his feminist dominatrix.

May God have mercy on Seun and other tech entrepreneurs who have turned their social media technologies to a psychological operation which makes promising young minds become lazy, dumb and unintelligent.
