Obodo-meaning community or place,people especially wazobia Fm people use "Obodo Nigeria" a lot

Chink-used in the Caribbean is "Chinchi" in Igbo which means Begbug

Tey is Ijaw, not Igbo. Tey (te) is an actual grammatical feature in the Ijaw language that's used to talk about the passage of time. E.g. “Sote” in the middle of a sentence functions like “until” and at the end of the sentence denotes something finishing. (Sote = god/sky/world ends).

Yoruba,

Kuku and Kuku maa.
Meaning "Okay then" and "Okay then! do not ......." respectively

Kuku and kuku maa are not Yoruba. The way it's used in Pidgin suggests it comes from Ijaw/Urhobo/Isoko languages. In Ijaw, “kuku” is used to say “quick” or “just” which matches the way it's used in Pidgin. Your explanation of the Yoruba meaning doesn't even fit or make sense. Tbh, I wish you people would stop blindly claiming everything is Yoruba (or another big three tribe). Especially since we already know most Pidgin words come from South South. If something sounds similar to you, it's probably because Nigerian languages use the same sounds. Stop erasing minority cultures and contributions.
