The interesting thing is we do not talk like this to put on a show, it just our own way of expressing ourselves. The English language is not as expressive as our language so we try to create expressive phrases to capture the emotion we want to express
Exactly 👍 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I think you have captured it succinctly!
😂u so right!
Those words have been in our native languages for way long and we just blend it into pidgin English in an expressive way 😅
Well said 👏👏👏
About the camping, so we have this Nigerian girl who we all go uni together. So we did ask her once if she wanna go camping with us her response - "My parents did not suffer and pay my rent in this UK for me to sleep outside"
I literally couldn't contain myself 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
🤣🤣😂😅..oh my days!😂. You know she’s right😂
She is right
She's absolutely correct.
😂
🤣🤣No, because why would you willingly choose to be homeless?
"are your ears for decoration"
Very Nigerian!!!
I say this to my son
Seems like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
I’m Nigerian and it’s genetic. My 6 year old got a math problem wrong and my 10 year old said “your teacher is a failure”
yeah that's quite right. Nigerian adult always blame the kid for the failure but the siblings will blame the teacher. E.g. "Your teacher nor get sense at all"!
I die with laughter when the woman comedian said, it's not your fault, I don't blame you, I blame myself😂
As a Nigerian, that was on point😂
When my mum tells me that, I know I'm about to suffer for like 2 months plus
Haha I literally just texted that😂
She's Nigerian as well.

If someone asks one Nigerian one question like"oh my God you are looking good"Nigerian response "is God ooo"😂😂
“Na God o my sister” 😂😂
Or "dey play... You dey whine me?"😂
Is it not? It is indeed God!
Taken compliments here in Nigeria is like eve taken apple 😂
Take the compliment at your risk; it's either whining, or billing coming next or your village people in your dreams.
It can only be God.
Otherwise we are pushing
My friend: (Talking about a former colleague who left a workplace out of anger to another)

Im somali and my mum used to say something similar to my sister. Whenever she would brush hair, she would ignore the back and only brush the bits she could see in the mirror. My mum would would say "oohhh so the back of your head belongs to someone else I see. Are you renting it out? Oof" 😂
5 years ago they laugh about how Africans speak. Today they praise Africans. Don’t change yourself or culture for anyone! The glory of Africans is coming back! It’s our time again!!
While growing up, my little bro who was never organised asked my mum where his boxer was, my mum responded, "I wear am, check under my wrapper". 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I told my son the exact same thing the other day, the boy drives me knot.
This is wild. She didn't say it's on her head
Funny thing is, it comes naturally to Nigerians. Like, they don't think it, it just comes out. 😂
Whenever I spend a lot of time using the toilet, my mom usually ask "What are you still doing in there, are you giving birth? Lol
I thought it was just my mom that says this. 😂
All our mums were raised by the same parents oooo😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
...to an elephant 😂😂
If your mom didn’t ask you that when you spend too much time in the bathroom then she’s definitely not a Nigerian mom
My dad would say ,is it a whole tuber of yam I want to shit ?
I am Zambian, I love Nigerians so much 😂😂. Hilarious group of people

"You will be late to your own wedding!"😂

I am so glad for the positive vibes people are giving about Nigeria these days. I remember one of my cyber training in the US Department of Defense, the instructor was explaining email spam, and he used the Nigerian-Prince (419 emails from Nigeria) to drive the point home. That really broke my heart that day. Fast forward to these days, the narratives are positively changing to Nigerians are some of the hilarious people on earth, Nigerians are so smart and Nigerians are this or that in a good way.
419 is the first Nigerian word added to Advance Learner's Dictionary in the late 90s. It is recognized as an English word.
@mightyvoicetv Word!
True talk, for real sis,keep up the good work and God bless you and the family real good my sister
@mightyvoicetv About 3 others have just been recently added...1. Naija 2.Japa 3.agbero...I think all a total of 17 words. Adire, area boy, and, suya yarn dust, Yahoo, and more.
The entire country's population is a whole vibe, but you see those from Delta, Edo, Port Harcourt, they are a different breed... The most hilarious sets
It’s actually the Yoruba ooo
The language alone
😂😂😂
No be lie😂
PH? For where? PH no join
We are
Naija is actually a blessed place and people. One day we would be at the top where God meant for us to be.
Ase. So shall it come to pass
In which generation? When the evil politicians want to do more than devil himself?
Amen
Dey play
Dey make yourself happy
When my mom sees us talking , She will always say, Keep on talking, Radio without batteries or known idle mind is the devil workshop 😅
Lol, same here
Telephone without wire
Exactly 😂 All Nigerian Moms literally says this.
The idle man don sell devil workshop oo😂😂

No matter how good you are to a goat, it will still eat your yam - this 1 is for ingrates lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My God why na???
But it's true bro. It's like a Bicycle man, no matter what good you do to him he must show you his back when going.. 😂😂😂😂😂
When I am talking to my kids and they keep asking what did you say,in annoyance I sometimes ask, "are you walking with your ear and listening with your legs".I proud to be a Nigerian😂
😂😂😂stopppp😂
Whenever i noticed someone spending much time in the bathroom,, i just ask the person "do you want to wash their sins away?🤣🤣
I’m nigerian and i’m proud
WHEN IT RAINS HEAVY, MY GRANDMA USED TO SAY "THE RAIN IS BEATING ME OH" 😂😂😂
I'm Nigerian and i only love the country whenever im not broke. If im broke then Nigeria it's self is the reason for all my problems 😂😂
Bro😆😆😆
That breeze that blew you to my side better blows you back.
Meaning - Don't come and trouble me.
Pot that calls kettle black
Meaning - you are not better than who you are condemning.
Radio without battery
Meaning - Talking uncontrollably.
Your brain is for fancy
Meaning - The person is senseless or doesn't make use of his brain.
You will be walking and hanging your eyes in the sky.
Meaning - You don't watch where you step your foot.
My mother of blessed memory; when we disturb her for food and it is not ready yet, she will say "come and eat me"
Same, ever since I was younger. 😂
Vintage response from all our mums😂😂😂❤❤❤
Oh wow. Don't say that in the Hausa language as it literally means something far naughty. Let's see....how should I delicately put this? Instead of the word "eat" substitute it with something more canal!
For us, it was come and eat my head 🤧
Na why dem dey call us G.O.A.T, Greatest of all times 😂❤
The day I went to live with my late aunty in Warri and then pleaded that she helped me with some unexpected amount of money, she looked at me strangely and replied " If dem leave you, you go fry ice block dry ooo". Till this day I am still at lost as to how you can actually fry ice block while her soul is resting in peace.
@glorhbeedie18 😂😂😂😂 that your auntie was hilarious. May her soul rest in peace, Amen!
🤣😂😂😂… that’s hilarious. It means you fit drain anybody of their resources😂
Exactly 💯 % correct
Warri is on another level totally in Nigeria in terms of language, slangs and attitude.
And you never tried frying the ice block!? 🧊 Ahhh! It's just fire, 🔥 frying pan and the ice 🧊. You may choose to add oil.🤔😅
my nigerian mother, i told her i won an accomplishment in school, she said "God don butter your bread"😂😂🤣🤣
Reminds me of that time my brother did something dumb, my dad told him he grew tall but left his brain on the ground 😂😂😂😂
God Bless Nigerians 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
I studied English and literary studies. It was during my project (thesis), when i was gathering my data on coinages, loanwords , semantic extensions, etc in speech/conversations, that i realized that Nigerian English is full of funny expressions that we didn't even realize are funny
I know right?!😂. That's the beauty of it though🙏🥰
My friend didn't get anything for Christmas 😂and when I asked him wht he got for me for Christmas and he ws like"me wey no see chris talk more max collect sef "💀
🤣😂 can you imagine🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was rolling reading this comment. In English it makes no sense but to a Nigerian, it makes a lot of sense 😂
@@amarababe No be lie
In the southern USA, we have these responses. One of my favorites is when you are acting stupid, your Mom would say “when they were passing out brains, you thought they said trains and got out of the way”.
I remember an Edo friend of mine... calling and I said ehennm! To signify my not hearing him... the next thing I heard was.. dem put cotton wool for your ear 👂??... it was so hilarious 😂 😃 😄.
Omor us Nigerians we too do oo😂😂
put it on my head is a common hrase used by NIGERIA WOMEN when a stupid question is asked by a child or younger one. Hilarious. When the are leaving, they say "am coming". Bcos amn going connotes dying or leaving the earth.When a Nigerian has diarhea or frequent stooling, it is said " my belle i i.e belly is running. its another World another live and living theatre that never fails to entertain. Nigeria itself is a huge act in play. Thanks for this nice video.
LOVE THIS! ♥
It is interesting to see ourselves through the lens of others. It was only when I started living in the UK over 40 years ago, I TRULY appreciated and realised the Nigerian poetic English was and is unique. What do I mean?
You can say a phrase in English and people will understand you. Say the same phrase with the Nigerian poetic lingua franca.
OMG! people will scream and say. "WOW! I GET IT. THAT HIT HOME & WAS SWEETER!!"🤣
Nigerians are Very Expressive!!
I remember growing up in the 1960s and 1970s and if I was scored anything less than First in Class, my mum (RIP) would simply ask:
"Did the person who scored First have two heads?"🤣❤
On point!
Instead of saying, 'if you get kidnapped, where do we start the search. . .'
Nigerians will say, "if your enemy gets kidnapped, where does the search begin...'😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂We must be careful what we say...sometimes our word can be manifested. So say good things only. African logic.😂😂
Me: “Let us say, for example, you were poor, and -“
Nigerian: “Even in the example I cannot be poor!”
I saw one yesterday,a comment about a coach of a loosing team for benching his star player: "the coach's decision is many kilometers from wisdom ".
😂
When my sis spends so much time in the toilet, I'd ask "are you giving birth to Goliath?" 😂
Let me drop some here...
1. Some are wise while others are otherwise.
2. To who brain is given common sense is required.
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Please add more 😂
😂😂😂 common sense is not that common.
“You no dey hear word, Abi your ears wear bra”😂😂
😂😂😂
Bra???!!😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
Warri insult
"you are growing wings".....just telling some they're proud......NIGERIA, we dey hail😂😂😂
I am always quiet when around Nigerians just bse I enjoy laughing at their conversations.I find them dramatically entertaining even when someone is serious abt staff....
Real dramatic!! I laugh all the time.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is the way we talk ooo
It adds spice to language 😂😂😂
We are getting the attention we deserve. Our normal everyday life is a movie is to time to let the world know what we are.

Friend asks " why"
Nigerian answers "no, Z" 😅
😂😂😂
I no blame you, I blame myself to talk to you... I love my country Nigeria
Many are mad but few are roaming the street. That's when you misbehave 😂
If my sister tell you "it's only book knowledge that you have".
She is not complimenting you she is saying you don't have common sense.
Abeg come pour me water make I wash hand😂😂
Or you'll b talking to someone and the person is going somewhere else and he's still saying I'm coming 😂😂😂
When you eat beans at night, your morning will be full of sound of gas from the back passage 😂😂😂😂😂
My Mum will retort, whenever I ask for more especially from her plate in childhood, Go to the neighborhood and get me 'The parent that never eats' knowing no parent that never eats, my greediness always disappear😂😅
I am rolling on the floor right now..... These are my people, I finished every single statement 😂
Abeg make nobody come put sand for my garri ooooo(Pls don't kill ny mood/vibe, don't be a negative nancy).
Anytime anyone in my house spend so much time brushing their teeth or brushing so hard, I could ask them, "did you eat roasted deadbody in your dream? Honestly, I literally don't when those words came around my mouth 😅
Africa knows the entertainment ,joy and laughter Naija culture has brought us. The world is only starting to find out. Our giant no be yeye giant O! 😂😂❤❤
This was very funny
We(Nigerians) are funny humans😂
my mum when we waste food in the house, she will say in pidgin english, make una continue to waste food o, fowl wey dey lay eggs nyansh dey pain am o
Meaning: You can easily waste the food because you didn't hustle for the money to buy it nor do the cooking . Nice One
As a Nigerian if i enter trouble i would say " my village people are after me ohhh 😂😂😂"
Make i no forget my hand for your face oo

In the land of the blind the one with one eye is king

When they are ill or they fail an examination they say “ who have I offended? If they encounter problems trying to help someone else they says” I don buy market ..I have bought market”
When someone is clearly acting out of place, my Benue Nigerian mom would mutter, with a straight face, "Ewo lu golo" meaning "Dog chewing Kolanut." 😂😅
