40 Slangs Nigerian Music Has Taught Us by Nobody: 2:12am On Sep 21, 2015
This post is a collection of some widely used slangs originated by some top A-list acts in our Nigerian music industry today that have gone on to form a major part of our conversational vocabulary especially in vernacular communication.

“ Baddo ”
Slang credit: Olamide
Baddo would be the term used to connote the act of lauding someone’s reputation at a particular art, one who is especially willed at the doing of it.

“ Jonze ”
Slang credit: D’Prince
Jonzing can otherwise be related to an excessive feeling of one’s self.

“ Fi le… Don Touch It! ”
Slang credit: D’Banj
This is synonymous especially to broadcasting stations when they require you to stay tuned and not touch that dial.

“ Smellos”

As at the time when “frosh” was the in-thing for n*ggaz, smellos became the exact opposite in response.

“ No Shaking”

This term expresses one’s state of being/a temporary state of affairs.

“ Alobam ”
Slang credit: Phyno
Alobam would be an alternative term for addressing ‘your brother from another mother’ aka ur padi. This is especially common to the South Eastern folk.

“ Shoro Niyen ”

If you must express astonishment at some kin yarns , shoro niyen is the perfect reply to such.

“ Koko”

Saying the koko is like intensifying one’s expression on a subject matter.

This ascertains a state of chill.

Wassup has become a generally accepted style of greeting, popular with the youthful folk. It is also a basic conversational starter.
