Love means Ifunanya.Tell me gold digger,BIRTHDAY,CELEBRATION and PHLEGM IS IGBO,HAUSA AND YORUBA

Ifunanya mean affection towards someone or something - could take the form of Love, likeness etc.

Gold-digger - Onye-uru-ahi! (lol) a particular form of greed where someone seeks an excessive gain - especially reaping where they did not sow.

Birthday - Mbochi omumu

Celebration - Emume or[b] mmeme[/b]

Phlegmatic - (in the form of stolidity) Ihu a to ochi !

BED BUGS ERADICATION !!! Bed bugs are small wingless insects that feed solely upon the blood of warm-blooded animals. Although they are also known to feed on household pets like; Dogs, Cats, etc.. these bugs prefer a human host and will actively seek out habitats that put them within easy distance of a blood meal. These tiny vermin avoid light and attack in the middle of the night hiding behind headboards or in mattress seams during the day According to Research; Bed bugs are not known to carry or spread disease – but getting rid of them from your home or your hotel is tough as an adult bed bug is extremely resilient to pesticides and can survive in a very harsh conditions – they can live for up to 20 months without a blood meal!

Our main motive here in Nairaland is to electronically Gossip About Education, Solve Problem Concerning Education, and also Brighten Education Future.

But in this thread we’re going to make a Dictionary of our own for Nigerians, we’ll be converting words from Yoruba to English, Hausa to English, Igbo to English.

English Language Examinations test our ability to comprehend words and also English Language is inescapable when it comes to Nigerian education. Therefore, we need not to falter to make words in an understandable way for Nigerians to improve Nigerian English

Here we go

Note: When writing in Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa language it should always be in Italics

Some one should help, I need

Philanthropist in Yoruba

Extremist in Hausa

Ifunaya in English
