I heard the term KWATANKWA when I visited Aba---If you no strong, no just play cause dem dey break leg for the game.


I con enter Enugu na there I hear say Bigards seminary football field, dem dey call am SAN SIRO(Inter & AC Milan home ground).

Aba is more about strength and Enugu is more skills.


For Lagos na their I see say them dey call a goal keeper wey fumble Baruwa and better keeper Peter Rufai.

Peter Rufai ni bobo yi sha.

But damn, We play ball so tey time dey enter 8pm. Na so I play ball reach o.

''ishun ko ni ball''-usually said when trying to mock a very strong,physical player that has no skills.

O.G.O-a type of game in which whoever scores becomes the goal keeper.

Snokko- low cross from the flanks
O ra bata odun-when u have a toe injury
Di nkan mu(hold something)- crowd yells this when u av been bitterly dribbled
Sha bale-to bring a player to d ground(particularly a very good one)
Gbe won rin(outrun them)- crowd n team mates yell dis to a pacy player

Losers' song

Ati leri p'ama na won lo
Lobayi wo o,
Atileri p'ama nawon lo
Lo ba yi wo

We had boasted to beat them
But it went other way

Winners' song:
A fa ri won (we shaved their head)
A fi kinikan si(we put something there - can't remember the thing again)
Won ba ni ko to(and they said it's not enough)
A tun f'epo ra (and we added palm oil to their shaved head)



Sometimes these mockery songs lead to fights, especially in inter-area and inter-school matches.

Oti ge lati ana! (u have dribbled him since yesterday)- to encourage a player who is attempting to dribble an opponent.

Fara bale fara bale gba si igbo! (shouted by fans)- to put pressure on an opponent who is about to take a penalty kick.

norrisman: Shitoe - When you play barefeet and kick the ground when attempting a shot and your big toe bleeds.
