Lol!!! This is what the music game needs in naija. He covered damn near every Lagos slang.
Pseudo dictionary for most of the naija slangs, dude breaks everything down well!

Not bad, but of course it's ironic that his Lagos Language dissertation is delivered in pigin - which is only understood by people who know all these terms! I like it, though.

Good stuff. But... half the things he said actually came from Warri, NOT Lag. I'm sure y'all know Waffi's d source of all mainstream pijin slangs. Words like "19", "Agbero", etc... I grew up on most of the words back in Delta.

lol... oluseyi makes a good point.
@ ovie: abeg wats 19?
Posted by: kriticque | November 24, 2008 at 08:55 AM
19 from 419, now known as yahoo yahoo.
Warri must be a special place can't wait to visit. True talk Ovie, but that is still the way they talk in Lagos.. LOVE IT. Not just ok.. Major props to you.
Posted by: Egbe | November 24, 2008 at 12:16 PM
@Kriticque: Egbe's explanation of "19" is spot-on.
@Egbe: yeah! u should definitely hit up Warri sometime. If u're into slangs, the Warri/Sapele area will be ur heaven. I occasionally call my boys back home mainly to get updates on the latest yarnings. Some make it mainstream, some others stay local. As per Waffi boy, I no fit carry last.
