Despite the problems that afflict the world’s most populous black country, Nigerians are generally considered as fun-loving people.
The employment of slang terminology is also a popular practice among Nigerians. There is seldom a moment in Nigeria when one or two slang phrases do not become popular, particularly among the country’s burgeoning youth.
Most of these slangs have their origins in the streets,’ yet they make their way into the music of prominent Nigerian performers.
The following are some popular Nigerian slangs on social media right now.
Breakfast Na National Cake (BNNC)
This isn’t an organic trend, according to the word on the street. Tomii, a young Nigerian singer, has released a song called BNNC for shorts. The song emphasizes that a breakup is not limited to a specific group of people, but that it may affect anyone.
Burbles Media conducted an independent investigation while the slang was trending on Twitter and discovered that influencers may have been paid to spread the slang ahead of the song’s release. This gives the impression that the song was recorded in response to public demand.
It’s a clever one, to be sure.
Nigerian youth, particularly those who are not in a romantic relationship, are now teasing their friends who are in one by singing that line of the song to remind them that they are in danger of being devastated in their relationship.
Echoke
It seems this popular slang originated from the camp of Davido. It is simply used to imply that something is huge and surprising.
The slang’s gesture communication is to wrap your hand around your neck and behave as if you’re being choked.
Trabaye
Trabaye is a street slang term made famous by Portable’s smash hit song Zazu. Trabaye simply means “to misbehave as a result of drunkenness caused by consuming heavy drugs,” according to Urban Dictionary.
Trabaye can also be substituted for ‘Gbemi Debe,’ which means ‘take me from low to high.’
Zazuu
Portable is linked to Zazuu once again. He earned popularity when his Zazu song reached the airways last Christmas.
