Let's learn together!

Nigerians don't take "trafficate" to mean "take a turn" , they take it as a verb or to describe the blinking light that indicate that you're about to take a turn .

i think it's bout time we accepted some of these words as Nigerian english, just as british accepted some America words as American English.

i think words like go slow and packer should be recognized as Nigerian english already and not incorrect english.

remember different English speaking countries with their brand of english, it can't be the same. Americans,british,Australia, canada, Caribbeans all have different versions of english, so why can't we accept the one we speak here(some words actually) as Nigeria english?.

NOTE:im not dumb, im just tryna be logical.

this is what they fail to understand.

Let me help OP to add small.

Straff (copulation)
Konji (Sexual urge)
Igbo (marijuana)
Chuku Chuku (no be my mouth you go hear am )

Disvirgin is also correct in English moderator.
Garri turner should be acceptable too since spatula is a turner.
