omoOlorun3:
And what would the abbreviation for that be, if we are just using Yoruba letters and the pronounciation is still the same as English, then this is not really Yoruba, therefore it hasn't really been named in our language, this is what you would just call English or Pidgin English, this is not Yoruba.
Can't you see Jibiti in it? You didn't get the joke. Try to be unserious sometimes.

Student loan or palliative of 20k ? Which school fees today in Nigeria is 20k naira ? A money that can can’t even buy you a good plate of fisherman soup with orishirishi …shame. Government of palliatives , propaganda, lies and deceit with no economic policy and no way forward for Nigeria.

If Abike didn't write the police when a while Oba of lagos threatened to drown a whole tribe in the lagoon, or when Lagospedia threatened Igbo people, then she is a bigger tribal bigot than the unknown woman who was using Amaka as her screen name.

The woman doesn't exist in any live search.

Jokes EtcHow Nigerians Will Embrace The New-old National Anthem “nigeria We Hail Thee” by waxyung(op): 8:21pm On May 29, 2024
Nigeria! Just when you think you’ve seen it all, we go and change our national anthem back to the original “Nigeria We Hail Thee,” leaving “Arise, O Compatriots” in the dust.

With the economy wobbling like a drunk at an owambe and prices of petrol and food skyrocketing, this anthem switcheroo is the comic relief we didn’t know we needed.

Let’s dive into the hilarious reactions from various corners of Naija.

1. Assembly Confusion 101

At Government Secondary School, Ikorodu, the assembly ground is buzzing with confusion:

Principal: "Alright, everyone, we are now singing 'Nigeria We Hail Thee.'"

Student A (whispering): Bros, na new TikTok challenge be this?

Student B: Na the new anthem

Give school 2 students just 24 hrs, a new lyrics worth of a Tiktok challenge will fly



2. Market Women

Mama Chidinma gisting her fellow market woman about the new anthem

Mama Chidinma: "Anty Bisi, you don hear? New anthem don turn old anthem again!"

Anty Armanda: "Na wah o. As if na anthem we go chop."

Mama Chidinma: "Abi o! Anthem no go make rice cheaper."

Anty Armanda: "Next thing, dem go bring back shilling and kobo. Madness!"

But the truth is, market women are too busy haggling prices to bother with anthems. But don't be surprised if "Nigeria We Hail Thee" becomes their new song for attracting customers.

3. Tech Bros
The tech-savvy Nigerians, ever innovative, decide to integrate the anthem change into their daily grind.

They create a chatbot that sings "Nigeria We Hail Thee" in different Nigerian languages at the push of a button.
During coding marathons, one might hear, “Hey Siri, sing the national anthem,” and be treated to a robotic yet enthusiastic rendition. It becomes a thing to see who can get their virtual assistant to sing it with the least amount of lag.

Nairaland GeneralSapa: What You Need To Know. by waxyung(op): 6:41pm On Jun 14, 2021
As Netizens, one needs to master the use of some frequent slang to have beautiful conversations on social media.

These slangs are unavoidable because they’re now gaining currency as their usage keeps conversations flowing.

Words like Mafo, Shalaye, E choke and many others have influenced our conversation on social media.

They are like a code language that takes frequent social media users to decipher.

The new code word gaining stature on social media today is “Sapa”.

Nobody could say the origin of this word but its usage has given shape to its meaning.

“Sapa” means a state of being extremely broke or poor.

“Sapa” can also mean a particular stage in one’s life where even the barest minimum becomes unaffordable.

It can lead to sudden mood swing, confusion, depression, and unexplained sadness.

In other words, “Sapa” is just another fancy name for being broke or the culminating point of brokenness.

It is accompanied by intense suffering and a splice of hunger.

It is a gentle killer that can force you to become gentle, feeling stranded…and you can’t easily escape it.

In one of Wizkid’s song titled “Thankful”, the term “Sapa” featured in it.

The verse goes thus:
“Who no know, make e come dey know o
Sapa dey kill person o”

Globally, “Sapa” is a pandemic to the homo sapien race.
Acute Sapa can make you warm Eba.
Unarguably, “Sapa” can make you cook “confusion rice” instead of “concoction rice”.

You don’t need to be told about Sapa. When it hits you know immediately.

I once overheard a father telling his lazy son that “Sapa shall not be defined to thee, Sapa explains itself when thee gets choked by it”.

“Sapa” is that level when your brokenness is even broke.

So many word variations have been coined from “Sapa”.

Words like sapalation, sapacolate, sapatians, sapatarians, sapabena, sapasexual e.t.c.

All these words are coined to suit your “Sapa” narratives.

My favourite expression derived from “Sapa” is “Sapa bien merci” which has been agreed upon by social media users to mean “Sapa, please have mercy”.

The only antidote to this “sapacious” malady is for one to hustle.

Working hard will assassinate “Sapa” in your life and prevent its transfusion from you to the unborn generations.

May the long hand of “Sapa” never locate us.

Saying “Amen” is not enough. Accompanying it with hard work is.

……….because God does not work for you, he works with you.

Nairaland GeneralMafo: The Unbreakable Spirit by waxyung(op): 11:28pm On Feb 29, 2020
Mafo is a Yoruba word which literally means “Don’t break,” and figuratively “be strong, don’t be weak”.

This is a popular street slang among Nigerians at the same time it is a powerful motivation. The spirit of Mafo is one you can’t underestimate.

Mafo on the street is a mantra used to maintain an unbroken spirit and to revive our hopes.

Mafo is similar to what Femi Osifisan expressed to in his popular poem “Homeless, Not Hopeless”. You might be homeless but don’t be hopeless. Hence, he’s indirectly saying “Mafo”.

Mafo is a mantra that we should chew to maintain and sustain our candour in times of hardship.................
