Written by GRB on 31/05/2023
Davido chatted with Billboard News and talked about some of his favorite Nigerian slang!
DAVIDO:
Yo, what’s up? It’s your boy Davido, and these are some Nigerian slang. Let’s go!
The first one is “Yawa,” that’s Y-A-W-A, which means, like, “trouble.” So, if somebody hits me up like, “Yo, yawa do,” that mean it’s like, “Oh, there’s trouble.”
Another one is “Comot,” C-O-M-O-T. Basically say like, “Come out,” but like you say it in a different way, broken English.
“Otilo.” Otilo means like, “It’s gone,” like, “It’s out of here,” like, “It’s lit.” Otilo.
Those are some Nigerian slangs. Hope you enjoyed it!
