6. Bẹẹ ni/Bẹẹ kọ

Bẹẹ ni means “yes” in Yoruba while Bẹẹ kọ means “no”. Would be really helpful if you have to go to any market in Lagos.

What other Yoruba words will you teach a visitor to Lagos?

5. E joor

E joor is Yoruba for ‘please’. So when you get into trouble and need someone to help out, say “e joor” and who knows?

4. Ẹ ṣé

Ẹ ṣé is Yoruba for ‘thank you’. So when you need to show gratitude to someone for a favour, pop in this word

3. E fun mi fisi

You know how you walk into a local buka and you’re not satisfied with the amount of food they’ve given you? “E fun mi fisi” is the magic word. Say it and keep a smile and small portions will be added to your plate

2. O wa

In a Lagos bus and the bus conductor calls your bus stop? Your response should be “O wa”. Else, the bus will drive past and you can’t do anything.

1. E kàárọ̀/E kaasán

E kàárọ̀ is the Yoruba word for ‘Good Morning’ while E kaasán is for ‘Good afternoon’. Throw that in when you’re at the office with the cleaner instead of the regular ‘Good Morning’

Lagos has become home to people from various tribes in the country – the Igbos, Idomas, the Hausas, the Tivs and a lot of them.

Part of the reasons people come to live in Lagos is because it’s the commercial capital of the country and as thus, there’s a lot of business going on. But truly, how do you do business if you can’t get about in the local language which is Yoruba? Here are a few Yoruba words that will help you whenever you’re stuck in Lagos.

Even when you're skint and penurious? You must be kidding me, mate.

Some ladies will accept you for who you are, even when you are broke..

So you have been trying to get her but haven’t? Yet you still like her. Fear not for these tips would help you get her with ease.

1. Approach her like a Queen:

Guys nowadays tend to hiss or make funny sounds to get a girl’s attention. You should realize that she isn’t a dog,so walk up to her to talk and don’t make irritating gestures.

2. Quit stalking:

When you desire a thing you must summon courage and work to get it talk less of desiring a being,a lady for that matter. Don’t stalk a lady you like because you are shy to talk to her, be a man and gear your balls into action.

3. Don’t tell stories:

When you gain her attention, don’t tell her stories every guy tells,make your package different and unique. Go straight to the point but don’t be domineering while conversing with her.

4. Avoid boasts:

Ladies are irritated by men who boast about their material or intellectual acquisition, you don’t have to tell her the amount in your account or how many cars you own or how high you’ve gone in academics; keep it real,simple and be humble.

5. Endeavor to be truthful:

Ladies get curious and ask questions; try to be truthful in answering them,it’s better to lose her to the truth than a lie. Ladies are quite smitten with truthful guys because they are rare in this modern age.

6. Appreciate her:

Let her know you are grateful she spent a lil time with you(no matter how lil it is/was. Guys don’t do this because they don’t know it makes the lady happy and it makes her eager to spend more time with you.
Okay! Wishing you the best with that lady of your dreams.

8. Jara/Fisi
This word refers to the extra someone adds to stuff you bought from them. Who doesn’t ask for jara in the market?

7. SiSi/Omoge

This term is used to refer to young women. Even older and married women these days are trying to appropriate “sisi” and “omoge” from the young women in Naija.

6. Okrika

While all second-hand items must have the prefix “tokunbo”, used clothes are the only second-hand items that have their own special name, Okrika.

5. Drop/Kabu Kabu

Cabs and taxis will forever be called drop or kabu kabu depending on your generation. Older generation prefers Kabu Kabu while the young, hip and cool like the word “drop”.

4. JJC

JJC is the abbreviated form of “Johnny Just Come”. We use this word to refer to newcomers in a place. We also it to refer to people are slow on the uptake of important issues.

3. Item 7

Ever heard a Nigerian ask after Item 7? Item 7 is the colloquial way of referring to refreshments at events.

2. Follow come b3 /charger

It means original battery or charger

8 words only Nigerians understand


Nigerians have created their own version of the English language. And it is amazing.
The widely spoken and highly flavoured Naija English may not be documented or popular outside Naija. It is our own and we love it!
Here are some words from the Naija Lingo only Nigerians know and understand:

1. Tokunbo
Non-Nigerians only know this word as a name from the Yoruba tribe. But Tokunbo has always been used since time immemorial to describe second-hand goods. Tokunbo cars, Tokunbo tyres, etc all refer to the used version of those items.

So true...

Pastor Ojo is the name. Association of name checkers
