Racheal45:Siwaju has a sense of "moving" ahead Niwaju has a sense of already being ahead and at rest in a place. Both mean the same thing 1 Like |

Siwaju- take the lead. Be ahead Niwaju- Is in front. Ahead Just like English, the true meaning lies in the context. However, we tend to use Siwaju as a name compared to Niwaju. Isn't the current naija president's name Asiwaju? It could be a title too. But you would barely hear Niwaju. |

Siwaju is a verb. |
