Shma: exposing your zoo giant has now become fun!! anyway, I don't care if Ghanaians love you or hate you what matters is that crucial information from your fellow westerners go and read it again man! You will just vanish in circulation out of Shame
Lol it is called the act of bashing and both parties are good at it simple.....
samorobo: Nigeria Pidgin English is rapidly gaining global recognition whilst I first heard the word Swahili here ..you are free to use the word "DANFO" and "Okada" now...it is now an official English word.. #thepowerofnaija, #thepowerofnaijadominance #thepowerofnigerianidgin
Oxford dictionary adds okada, danfo, Mama Put, 26 other Nigerian words, expressions
Oxford English Dictionary said it has added 29 Nigerian words and expressions in the January updates to the dictionary.
“The majority of these new additions are either borrowings from Nigerian languages, or unique Nigerian coinages that have only begun to be used in English in the second half of the twentieth century, mostly in the 1970s and 1980s,” OED’s World English editor Danica Salazar said in a statement.
‘Next tomorrow,’ is one of the new entries into the dictionary. The expression is regarded as the oldest among the over 25 uniquely Nigerian words/expressions. According to Salazar, ‘next tomorrrow’ was first used in written English as a noun in 1953, and as an adverb in 1964.
Kannywood, which refers to the film industry in northern Nigeria, is deemed the youngest among the lot.
Others such as ‘buka,’ ‘bukateria’ and ‘severally’ also made the dictionary.
The full list of the new entries is below:
agric, adj. & n. barbing salon, n. buka, n. bukateria, n. chop, v./6 chop-chop, n./2 danfo, n. to eat money, in eat, v. ember months, n. flag-off, n. to flag off in flag, v. gist, n./3 gist, v./2 guber, adj. Kannywood, n. K-leg, n. mama put, n. next tomorrow, n. & adv. non-indigene, adj. & n. okada, n. to put to bed, in put, v. qualitative, adj. to rub minds (together) in rub, v./1 sef, adv. send-forth, n. severally, adv. tokunbo, adj. zone, v. zoning, n.
Let me interpret some of the pidgin words...
Okada_ motorcycle Buka/bukateria_ a local restaurant Mamaput_ a local restaurant Chop_ it has multiple meanings...you can chop food...you can also chop money(enjoy money), you can also chop life (enjoy life), Take this sentence for example, I "chop" he eye...it means you con/dipped him/her
Gist_ to gossip K_leg__when something didn't go as planned.. example :that thing wey we talk yesterday finally get k_leg
Kannywood: Hausa movie industry...it is totally different from Nollywood..

mtisTheQubit: like i said i pity you..ths forum brings all the creepy folks out of the hood..dude try to learn something before you post..
1.Nigeria is what people call zoo..not other country. 2.You guys are into thousands in South Africa...the reason ya always the victims 3..If ya want suck blogs stuff knock ya self out..
There is nothing to hide in the hood... everyone knows Nigerians are in thousands in A.
But do you want to know what is crazy about kenya..
Having almost the same immigrants number with nigeria for a country of 53..that is crazy..it means everyone wants to escape the zoo
Having the massive flow of your kwewkere ass rejected as an illegal kwerekeres....now this is also very crazy ..
Having g your idioot kwerekeres turn drug lords in SA,...now that is hypocritically crazy....
What more can I say...when I call Kenya a zoo it is not something I take lightly.. we have gone through facts to arrive at the conclusion that your cesspool is a certified zoo
mtisTheQubit: Keep ya sissy ways away man...let discuss manly things not freaking gal stuff...unless ya a gal...but incase ya one ,its still bad coz naija babes are men...
Can I please get a break from all this nonsense stuff y'all keep discussing about....it's been really tiring and disgusting discussing that nonsense with your brother tasha...
If you are what I think Tasha to be then can you please keep that nonsense to yourself and seek deliverance..
..we are tired of read those words and abbreviations...
Just stick to your tenage girls gossips since that is what you know best
Ahhh i see you are speechless...Sammy has made you speechless with facts as always....here again read and start seeking solutions to organise your zoo...
I will continue posting tuko news cos it is your source....I wouldn't even bother checking most especially when it is coming from your source...maybe I would have bother if it was from another source.....
You useless lots are illegal kwerekeres...I am even more surprised that you are surprised..... Your immigrants are fighting neck to neck with us for a population of 200m against 53m.....pls which of one the two is desperate.....
Is Kenya that pathetic...I mean I always knew Kenya was a zoo but after seeing what Oba Posted about the number of those escaping the zookenya I lost all hope in you guys and immediately discovered you are more of a trash country than I initially thought you to be.....
