Eke uke (ekuke)

Uke is a town in Anambra (beside Onitsha) and Eke is a market day in igboland.

But Eke uke is now being used for people that are too daft and shallow........or somewhat dumb. (I.e bella of Bbnaija was being called eke uke because of her slow rate of capturing things......."I don't understand"everytime )

It can also mean quack/useless dog breed

this is hilarious lolll

7/ASO ROCk

The Presidency and his Villa

5) Edo airways

It connnotes the stereotype of Edo people being fetish and masters of Witchology and flyingocracy
Hence the Edo instant Airways lol
My Edo people no allow the sterotype vex us o

6)ABA made
This is used to refer to Substandard goods or to tag a product of low quality
It’s also a sterotype of the High indigenous production in Aba a town in Abi’a state Nigeria
Known for making a lot of wears and materials but if it you don’t shine your eyes you will be given fake goods

3) OYO(on your own)

4)YABALeft

This is a slang to buttress that someone is acting abnormal

Okrika is now known as the slang name for used clothes being sold for cheaps, it’s a booming business in various parts of the country,
Although Okrika is actually a popular town in Rivers state of Nigeria, an oil producing town
How the name of the town and The clothing came to be known by the same name is a story for another day

Good Evening Nairalanders I thought of an interesting concept today and I decided to make it into a thread to share with you ..so enjoy

Famous places in Nigerian that became associated with equally famous slangs and words , l have 7 you can add yours to the list.

1/ OKADA/OKADA BIKE
The motorcycle bike is popularly known as Okada bike but many of us don’t know the origin of the nick name,
The name actually came from the name of the first indigenous airline in Nigeria the Okada airline
Which was equally named after the Villiage of the Founder of the airline , Chief Gabriel Igbinedion,
Okada is A villiage a few distance from Benin cutybin Edo state

The Okada airline has long stopped operation but its outlived by the countless motorcycles now called Okada today.

Very very good. I would advise you to go for further for training. Try and apply for art degrees in Germany, Norway or places where university is free. I won't be surprised if some Americans uni give you scholarships. They always want to advertise talent that finished with them. It is a good way of enticing students to their universities.

I would really love to
Thanks boss
