I would like to ask about "chai" and "chineke" .... Meanings and how they are used... CC: Carbonado CC: Martino |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:35pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
hiawathia1981:Lol.... |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Martin0(m): 5:38pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Mobilia:yeah, correct! mehn I just dey one side now, observating Nairaland! |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:39pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Also are the meanings of "abeg" and "biko" the same? Don't they mean "please"? So can one say, "Abeg, Give me dey paper, biko". Isn't that saying "please" twice? CC: Carbonado CC: Martino |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by carbonado(m): 5:39pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Mobilia:.....they are both used by the igbos, and are used mostly when the igbos want to make an exclamation...from my understanding chineke means God..lets say they receive an information or news and it is not too good, you hear them saying these words. 1 Like |

carbonado:Okay...see that's where I'm having difficulty distinguishing sometimes between a tribe's words and just plain Pidgin English. I've heard "chineke" and "chai" in some Nigerian movies...and also read it a lot here on Nairaland. "Wahala" is Yoruba right? |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:41pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Martin0:Ok...having fun with your friends  |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by carbonado(m): 5:42pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Mobilia:..yes they mean please, "biko" means please in igbo, ..abeg= is from "i beg you or i beg of you"...you dig.. 1 Like |

Mobilia:...yes wahala = trouble, and it is yoruba, joor means please in yoruba, pele means sorry in yoruba. 1 Like |

"Shakara" meaning showing out or acting "stuck-up"...is a Yoruba word? |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:45pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
carbonado:Its a term that drivers use when they are communicating with the command base. It means ok or message received |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:45pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
carbonado:Awesome...didn't know that about "joor".... |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:46pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Hiawathia1981, Are you learning this too? |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Martin0(m): 5:46pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Mobilia:yeah they mean same! yes you fit use that word "abeg" yeah sometimes using that word "abeg " and Biko to begin and end a sentence isn't that considered to be some kind of error, you can just choose to use it yourself ... 1 Like |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:47pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Mobilia:Ok. I got u. I knew what some of the words meant but got confused that the different words have the same meaning. Didnt put together that they were from different tribes |
| Re: foreigners chillout joint. by Nobody: 5:48pm On Jun 11, 2018 |
Martin0:Awesome.... So for instance if I say this to you, "Abeg, Martino, be a well-behaved young man biko..", then I would be correct right |
