Why Do Most Nigerians Do These? by Dododudu(op):
I've met and seen a lot say HI/HELLO and then followed it with either good morning, afternoon or evening. Why not just Hi or hello then continue with whatever conversation you wanted to have with the person.
2. They start conversation with SO. I mean no one start a sentence with SO; but naija do it with their full chest.
3. They start conversation with OK. You ask someone a question and the response start with OK.

I'm not a linguist but this I notice always everywhere and it's very common between lady to guy or guy to lady conversation.

You can add yours.
