Nigeria Slang Dictionary
Nigerian slang is the heartbeat of Africa's most populous nation - a fast-moving blend of Nigerian Pidgin, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa that powers everyday conversation from Lagos to Abuja to Port Harcourt. It's the language of Afrobeats lyrics, Nollywood scripts, comedy skits and WhatsApp group chats. Words like abeg, wahala, japa and how far travel far beyond Nigeria's borders through music and social media. Below is a growing, community-built dictionary of Naija slang - and if a word you know is missing, you can add it.
So finally Sapa don catch this guy
Guy sapa hold me like this no be lie
That guy is an ajebutter.
Life has been difficult but then, we meuuve!
Like when a lady shake the Nyash, Men can never be themselves

A nyashless woman must be plankish in structure
