Mr OP you are among the few Nigerians who as surrender themselves to the total influence of the west communication is a process which involve the sender and the receiver and once there is a feedback then the message sent is understood there is nothing bad if we create our own English language for effective communication America also create theirs even in spelling words like centre>center metre>meter express>highway, technical drawing terminology
like in pictorial drawing first angle projection to third angle projection so changing wake keep to wake keeping is not wrong in as much it as been accepted and use and understood by the people in question.
There is nothing bad if Nigeria create her own English language

I just searched the dictionary, no word as cunny

Sharp sharp now which phrase is this

weedfada:
Oh well, for me the word "disvirgin" is okay as long as "Dis-" is the prefix which connotes the removal of something.

No, it isn't.
The word virgin is not a verb, it is a noun;you can't 'devirgin' or 'disvirgin'.

Only Nigerians will know the meaning of these words:
1. Jented
2. Bajestically
3. Fanimorous
4. Jejely
I can't remember the rest.

Pls add if you do.

giving correction nd rewriting d error without writing d appropraite word shows ignorance. apart 4rm no. 4 dat d right word is there, d rest have loopholes.

Lmfao.. Quite intresting ;DLmfao.. Quite intresting

Who English don eep?

The essence of language is communication, the essence of communication is understanding.

If I say the girl has been disvirgined, do you understand? Yes! So, no more story. Besides, my swift keyboard didn't underline the word as incorrect.

Angelo45:
Cousin brother or cousin sister.. I hear dat often

Hate hearing this particular one. WTF!

Fraudster , a word wrongly used by almost all Nigerians.

You and some others don't understand what the op meant. He simply made people be aware of wrong words used commonly in Nigeria. These words sounds like it's correct and some people wouldn't know cos they are pretty used to it. If he intends writing Nigerian English then it would be more than the 5 words he listed. Hope you understand now?

Actually i got the OP point but what difference does it make in as much there is a communication once these words are used it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong in the Queen's language the most important thing is it is understood by the second party (receiver).

QUESTION: How is language develop or originated

abeg we don dey use to am after all pigin dey make us understand beta and be happy

Oga you are wrong there is difference between jeep and Jeep so those calling SUV's jeep are correct

Upliftment too.

Do you know some people write exactly how they speak? Now imagine writing all these non existent words in a formal way. Hello! Do you understand now?

Covered shoe - con Shu
Door catcher/ holder - cancer


Naija no dey carry last

i still stand by my argument, the consistent use of these words will make it to be added to the dictionary or as well we create our own America have theirs so why can't we the consistent use of the word like "gonna, wanna" made it to be added to the dictionary though slang but does it matter? what we fail to understand is that no matter how we study the Queen's language we can't be as good as they will imagine a man from England wanting to be an authority in Igbo language. the earlier we develop and embrace our own linguistic the better
if i were the president i will make pidgin English our lingual franca

OP, the English Language is very dynamic. It borrows words and slangs from many other languages, depending on how popular the word is being used. I bet you, most of these words will soon be found in English dictionaries with time. Keep tap with new editions of English dictionaries.
