My advice to Nigerians is to keep doing the positive things you are doing. Do not expect other Africans to accept your positive contributions. Just keep doing you. They may never appreciate us. Make sure you raise your kids to know Nigeria's history and intellectual property. Stop speaking negatively about Nigeria to your children. Learn that art of positive criticism of Nigeria.
In 2020 Oxford added over 20, 9ja words like K-leg, Ember Months, Next tomorrow, Guber, Gist, Sef, Barbing Salon, Severally, Send-forth, Qualitative, Okada, Flag off, Non indigene, Mama put, Buka, Tokunbo, Bukateria, Eat money, To put to bed, Agric, To rub minds together, Kannywood, Zoning, etc. in total there are over 60, 9ja words in Oxford (OED).
@joye5761 I doubted you until I checked and confirmed it's all true. I was even surprised that "to rub minds together" originated from Naija, according to the Oxford dictionary. Now I give Naija my country of origin more respect and a much bigger thumbs-up than ever 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏👏👏
They should not try it. One of them was on a platform laughing at Nigerians for using broken English at every slight opportunity. I recalled telling him to continue laughing, that one day when it has become universally accepted, he and his nationals will be the first to start laying claims to it.

Nigeria pidgin english currently has over 60 words in the oxford dictionary the first 26 words was added in 2020. Some are used as noun and some are used as verbs or both. Pidgin English na your mate. Nigeria have enough slangs or words to create their own Pidgin English dictionary. They should consider that. Because of future claimers.
Pidgin is a big word. If these words are part of an English dictionary it means that they’re part of Nigerian Standard English which is the official language of Nigeria. Pidgin is a street language. The Nigerian standard English is what makes Nigeria and Nigerians special not Pidgin 🤗

Fanimorous is not a Yoruba word. The Yoruba word is actually 'Fanimora' (meaning to entice). The word fanimora was anglicised by replacing the 'a' at the end of the word with 'rous', hence creating the slang fanimorous, which was eventually adopted and added to the dictionary after it gained wide acceptance.
@@nkechidouglas5541 you better go and google it before you start blabbering here.Yorubas are not loud like you people.About 6 Yoruba words are in Ajim’s list but you cannot hear Yoruba boasting and fumbling like Igbos because we are matured people.If it’s Igbo words now, you people will not allow us hear word on media again. You will say Igbos are the ones making Nigeria to shine and be popular,you will say you are changing to Biafra next week 😂😂😂😂.Nah wah ooo.
@@nkechidouglas5541 that makes even "Fanimorous" a word of Yoruba origin because it takes someone that understands Fanimora to coin Fanimorous from it.
@@nkechidouglas5541,the earlier known slang " Fanimorous" though it has officially become a formal English --- is coined from fanimora, a Yorubas' word --- which means to attract
Cross-carpet is switching from one party to the other especially without regard for ideologies. Kobo is the smallest Nigerian currency Your explanation of adire is actually correct. It a type of tie and dye fabric basically produced in Abeokuta, Ogun state Japa is coined from the Yoruba language, and it means to fly out of Nigeria
Nice one but Japa as in the original native lingo is literally used in the context of running away or excaping. Saying "Japa" in context of flying out of the country just simply means "excaping or running away from the country"
Japa is in my native dialect, Yoruba. Most of the words world are using now is from our language Yoruba. Proud of being a Yoruba. We’re very creative and unique people. Overall, I’m proud of being a Nigerian.❤❤❤
It does make a Ugandan Rwandan happy. I have always said way back that Nigeria is representing Africa to the world. But they always talk about the negative and leave the amazing success Soon will be Nyash ooo
Whether you like it or not, like I have been saying to jealous Africans that say Nigeria has a bad reputation globally. Nigeria has an attractive brand whether you want to admit it or not. That is what is really confusing the jealous Africans. They are confused as to why the world finds the Nigerian brand attractive because everyone wants to associate with Nigeria.
Don't mind them, they are always peddling lies that no country wants Nigerians yet in the news everyday these countries are appointing Nigerians to juicy positions or invited Nigerians to one event or another... they should continue with thier jealousy it's thier loss.
Yes, but let's not get myopic and focus on 'countries' carved out by the enemies of Africa. They profit from our division. Remember, we were one people before they came. Let's not take part in the in-fighting.
@AMOE_30 but we were not one people before they came . we were different tribes some allies some sworn enemies .. the only difference is if we were allowed to morph by ourselves different group would have come together willingly to form a country based on , tribal affinity, religion affinity etc. than being forcibly lumped together.
It's from the coastal regions that had much exposure to foreigners. Remember, Warri is the Pidgin English capital, churning out new words and phrases by the minute, demonstrating Nigerian linguistic intelligence.
Good job! This not the first time of adding Nigeria words into oxford dictionary,it started few years back for example word like Danfo was added check it Ajim.

Cross-carpet(ing) is a political terminology in NAIJA: it means to abandoned a group/party in support for a different group/party...a swift support for other group or party without any delay(politicians do that for their interest).
Before the now popular word japa came to the limelight, jand/janded were so popular among the Yorubas in the 90s. It was a sexy word to use as at then when speaking. If you know you know !
Abi (Yoruba word) - is that/yaeh? Adire (Yoruba) - dyed fabric/cloth Agbero (Yoruba) - Motor park worker or urchin Area boy - street urchin/tout Eba (Yoruba) - Garri made into meal by using hot water. Gele (Yoruba) - Head tie Jand (Yoruba slang) - abroad Janded (Yoruba slang) - travel abroad Japa (Yoruba) - migrate, flee, escape, vanish quickly Kanuri - tribe in Northern Nigeria Kobo - Nigerian coin Naija - slang/ short term for Nigeria, initially used by Yoruba traders of Lagos Island in Peckham, London. Suya (Tsire - Hausa) - traditional dry smoked and spicy meat on skewers. Yahoo boy (slang) - fraudster
Ajim, thank you for this great work, The spirit of One Africa is so important never to be taken for granted. You even educate most of us in happening. Bro!! You too much - like Amala when you knock am with Ewedu or Fofo/Garri with Okra/Egus soup. We appreciate you, stay blessed
This is not the first time, because they added Nigerian words to Oxford dictionary 7 years ago. I mean words like mama-put k-leg and put-to-bed and many more so this is not new to some Nigerians
You're correct, adire is a Nigerian fabric. Gele is a women's traditional headgear . Cross carpeting is the movement of politicians from one political party to another. Edo is a state in Nigeria, also a particular ethnic group in Nigeria. Jand is another word for Uk or London; it's actually not a verb as stated. Kobo is Nigerian currency lower that one naira. Just like cent is to a dollar. Yarn dust, means say nonsense.
Hello bros, I appreciate your efforts to let people know about good things about Nigeria 🇳🇬 . I love your tenacity. However, I need you to please share more light on other African countries Botswana is doing great, Kenya, Ethiopia Angola, Togo, Sierra Leone Mozambique, Zambia, Uganda, Burundi, Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon,Senegal. There are beautiful stories to tell about everyone, even South Africa irrespective of our beef, I love to hear positive news from every corner of the continent. I am a Yoruba lady,we have a saying; 'Eniyan kan kii so pe awade' Meaning no man can or should claim it all when it comes to good things of life/ success. For someone like me I find things monotonous and my excitement declines. I am not here to tell you how to do your work but please be soft with them. Mention their name for positivity so that our dream of a United Africa is achieved without any maliciousness from any side. Thank you so much for all your hard work.🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The original meaning is a manual labourer. Later on, street mafia was also added. Thank you for correcting him. I think this person has not lived in Lagos. If not he would know the meaning
Agbero truly means bus-conductor. "ero" is passengers, and "agba-ero" pronounced AGBERO is the person who collects (or conducts) passengers. Other meanings like Street Mafia and the likes are also correct, but as extended meaning.
Most of them are Yoruba words and that because Yoruba people have more influence in the Nollywood, afrobeat and Yoruba has many influence in the diaspora

Ajim, thank you for this great work, The spirit of One Africa is so important never to be taken for granted. You even educate most of us in happening. Bro!! You too much - like Amala when you knock am with Ewedu or Fofo/Garri with Okra/Egus soup. We appreciate you, stay blessed
God bless you brother 🙏
Love that.
Even foreign countries try to form the Nigeria pigin accent
This is not the first time, because they added Nigerian words to Oxford dictionary 7 years ago.
I mean words like mama-put k-leg and put-to-bed and many more so this is not new to some Nigerians
WOW! Really?! I'm so happy!!
@ yes
The important thing to note is that they have continued to add more Nigerian words, that's the point.
@@Daseeker4895 They sometimes only add the wild Nigerian used words
Even Agbada
Pains go down the South of Africa 😂😂😂😂. Abeg they should add NYAUPERIAN😂😂😂
You're correct, adire is a Nigerian fabric. Gele is a women's traditional headgear . Cross carpeting is the movement of politicians from one political party to another. Edo is a state in Nigeria, also a particular ethnic group in Nigeria. Jand is another word for Uk or London; it's actually not a verb as stated. Kobo is Nigerian currency lower that one naira. Just like cent is to a dollar. Yarn dust, means say nonsense.
Thank God I'm not back home..if not i would have complaint of too much upload of video 😂😂😂
Ur videos is must watch to us.
We love you
God bless my beloved county naija
Hello bros, I appreciate your efforts to let people know about good things about Nigeria 🇳🇬 . I love your tenacity.
However, I need you to please share more light on other African countries Botswana is doing great, Kenya, Ethiopia Angola, Togo, Sierra Leone Mozambique, Zambia, Uganda, Burundi, Liberia, Ghana, Cameroon,Senegal. There are beautiful stories to tell about everyone, even South Africa irrespective of our beef, I love to hear positive news from every corner of the continent.
I am a Yoruba lady,we have a saying; 'Eniyan kan kii so pe awade' Meaning no man can or should claim it all when it comes to good things of life/ success.
For someone like me I find things monotonous and my excitement declines.
I am not here to tell you how to do your work but please be soft with them.
Mention their name for positivity so that our dream of a United Africa is achieved without any maliciousness from any side.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.🇳🇬❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is to tell you this people are really studying us to be able to manipulate us
Agbero means public transport conductor.
No it means street Mafia
The original meaning is a manual labourer. Later on, street mafia was also added. Thank you for correcting him. I think this person has not lived in Lagos. If not he would know the meaning
Agbero truly means bus-conductor. "ero" is passengers, and "agba-ero" pronounced AGBERO is the person who collects (or conducts) passengers.
Other meanings like Street Mafia and the likes are also correct, but as extended meaning.
Another lesson in being original
I know of the word "severally" 😊 Nigerian word added sometimes ago
Aww this is wonderful 😅😅
Cross carpet is a term implying changing loyality or ideology , for example, from one political party to another! Cross carpeting is the action!!
Some of these words are original yoruba words
Most of them are Yoruba words and that because Yoruba people have more influence in the Nollywood, afrobeat and Yoruba has many influence in the diaspora
You can also use the words in the game of Scrabble.
1.Abi is yoruba means( or )and also use as (understanding affirmative of things )
2. gele is our women head tie
"Abi?" can also mean "Right?" and should always come with a question mark (?) for it to be meaningful. E.g "This is yours abi?, She is your wife abi?
@@mcdonald1821 yes, it is a yoruba word.. and it is also used as a question in yoruba
