Is this how dumb Nairaland/Nairalanders have become?

I am not surprised. Afterall Ṣeun Oṣewa spends most of his time on "twitter", washing the feet of his feminist dominatrix.

May God have mercy on Seun and other tech entrepreneurs who have turned their social media technologies to a psychological operation which makes promising young minds become lazy, dumb and unintelligent.


What is dumb about this? Only an unintelligent person would not recognize this as spreading and maintaining Nigerian culture . Is this not better than scandal/gossip? Do you really know how Seun spends his time? If you do ... what kind of man goes online any tells the world about another man's private life? Check yourself.

Many of these words are not called twice. They are one single word. Fufu, juju, dodo, bobo are pronounced as disyllabic words.
What of bye bye



As for some of the other words like tom tom, they are not peculiar to Nigerians. Tom tom is called tom tom the world over. There is a type of drum called tom drum or tom tom drum which originated from Asia. Tom Tom is also a brand of menthol flavored candy.




Bumbum is not a Nigerian word. It is a Brazilian slang for women's buttocks (especially, big buttocks).




What the heck is tummy tummy




However, I agree with the rest like chin chin, puff puff, Jedi Jedi, etc.
