Growing up with my parents & other siblings, we nick-named all our neighbours. So when we'r even talking about them in their presence, they dnt decode ...How many of us can relate with this......

Of course

Me and my brothers did this a lot

We had one we called oldest bachelor


You don't want to imagine what happened when finally mumsie decoded who we were calling oldest bachelor

The lecture that followed from mumsie no be here

hahahahaaaa...I was champion when it comes to nicknames!! I still do ...lots of people just can't be let off...they must be nicknamed!!
acting millionaire, millionaire, landlord, owner's corner...the list is endless!!

Lol...We did this alot.All our neighbours were given a nick name.

The irony of it all is that,you may not even know the names they are also calling you because you may think you are a perfect being.

We use to have a wicked neighbor that was heavily-bearded. We call him grassky.connoting his brushy beards

I nicknamed my Neighbour who brings home New girl every night "Mr Dobowell"


My old but beautiful Landlady"Iya finegirl"

Not me...


My dad use to..

In my house we are the king of nicknames

Everyone has nickname

Yes,there's one me and my sibling calls "shina Rambo"

The shina" is cos he's a chronic womaniser, I haven't seen who can beat him in womanising.. He moved in January, without exaggerating, I have counted over 50 ladies with him.

He sells cars,so he's always seen with different cars,maybe that's why the ladies fall

We called our landlord's wife Amebo

I should have started this topic cos that was our M.O growing up.One neighbour smoked a lot and we named him Benson (remember Benson & Hedges) , the name worked so much that even when he moved out of the flat ,we named the new guy Aburo Benson,there was this difficult man whose family came to see him every once in a while,he was so unfriendly we named him grouch,,,,,,one day our house help came in and asked for permission to go deliver a parcel to Mr grouch that someone left at the gate.My Sis quickly corrected her that his name wasn't Mr Grouch.
We had so many nick names for neighbours then back in the day,,,,,,,,,,

Kindergarten thread.

I get one bros igbo guy but I use to call him megida

Everybody is a victim here. Is vice versa

Even my Parent were nicknamed as a form of code name, so no big deal
