Wen last did u read a current dictionary? My friend go n get one n THANK ME with UR KNEELS.......

It's KNEES Sir not KNEELS. Even if you check the internet, the only sites where it is used are Nigerian sites. You know why? Because it's "Nigerian English". Some words are grammatically wrong but due to constant usage, now sound right. Same goes for the word opportuned. You won't find these words in trusted dictionaries. Learn to accept simple corrections, it's not a sign of weakness. It will help you.

Words like: 'shebi' , 'nko' & 'sharap' .....'sharap' is usually used when some 'local champions' wnt 2 impress ppl around dem

SmellMyFart:

It is a must for me to comment on this topic. When I was in SS1, we were asked to write an essay and Been a Yoruba Girl and I always Hear the word "Akoba" or in shortened form as "Koba" i.e. to Implicate someone.....so In the course of writting my essay assignment, after writting a Few Lines, I just wrote it there that....

and this can "Kobalise" them.
Instead of writting, .....And This can Implicate them....


I was Really Disgraced in the class on that day by my English Teacher....It was an Unforgetable Experience for me

adonbilivit:
these are words the average Nigerian uses when speaking english on daily basis. i bet most of us think they are really english words while some know they are not but still use them because they have been sort of accepted as correct. they are no longer considered blunders in grammar by Nigerians but if you dare use them during interviews and other corporate activities you are on your own (oyo). here they are:

1. sef: we often use this word in place of "anyway". i hear people say things like "what is it sef"?

2. eiya or heiya: this is used when u feel sorry for someone. for example, if a friend tells you armed rubbers attacked him your response will most likely be "eiya, hope they didn't injure you sha"?

3. sha: as you can see i used it in point 2 above. Nigerians use it in place of the word "though". here is an example; "I am tired but i will still work sha"...i am very much guilty of this point right here. when i use the word "though" most people don't seem to understand me.

4. na: hmmm, i don't even know the english word that can be substituted with this. we tend to use it when we are trying to make something clear to people. here is how we use it:

john: which of them bro?

james: the black one na

5. joor: this one seems to lack a substitute too. it usually portrays some kind of aggression and anger when used. when for instance, a guy is pestering a girl she might say something like "leave me alone joor".

6. shey: this one is used instead of "right". it is often applied when asking question. e.g "you saw Aminu yesterday, shey? notice that it took the place of "right" in the sentence.

AND THIS THING MADE FP

Instead of saying "na"......say "of cause"
Instead of "joor".......say "please"

I love this post! I'm a living victim so i'll work on it

@ OP: I mean no harm,but would love to know the schools you attended and what part of the country you schooled in. Maybe it would help me understand you better,on how you think someone would think these words are English words. Whosoever thinks these words are English words,must have had a very very poor standard of education or,probably grew up in the village. Majority of the words there are pidgin. Moreover,try and understand that people are not so daft and dull. You'd be shocked to know that a lot of people know that there's an English word called "akin".

For heaven's sakes OP, did u actually think that those words were English words? Omo! U still get change to go collect for your primary school o

Y would anyone think these words are english words..

The one I hear and use almost on a daily basis is 'o'. As in "I don't know the answer to this question o, it's a question for the gods!'
