Naija people - una well done oooh!

I'm trying to teach my oyibo friend some common Naija slangs and their meanings. Could you drop the slangs you know (in English or Pidgin English) and say their meaning?

Example:

"It's a lie!" - this is a slang used commonly by Naija women to exclaim unbelieve or surprise - it does not necessarily mean the person speaking is telling a lie Smiley

Apology accepted (but you shouldn't have deleted the post). You're right that we should post more interesting topics on the forum. In fact, that's my desire and wish - especially, topics that could help educate our forumites. This is why the forum is open to everyone - yes, everyone is welcome to post interesting topics - it's not meant for the Moderators alone.

So, @Lorddozzy - I'm looking forward to reading and contributing to more interesting topics, especially one coming from you.
