omg i love the Nigerian do their thing its so funny! the way i really want AA to visit Africa its not a joke anymore we get more of the white Americans visitors and staff but it will never be the same feeling we want our own to come and engage and experience their roots..... most of you prefer to rather go to Europe AA celebs don't stick their nose in Africa i always wonder why. I love the both of you so much for showing so much interest. Love from Namibia!
After about 3 months in Nigeria, it will be easier to start understanding better.. The thing about pidgin is that 1 word could mean different things depending on the context and tone.
The way my mum used to bargain, sometimes you'll be feeling embarrassed 😂😂😂😂. She'd do it like this lady, after agreeing a price when it's time to pay she'll give a lower amount of money 😂😂😂
In this context, "End-Time girl" refers to a girl who is wicked and intends to record him in order to use his image or face for negative spiritual purposes.
You are wrong. The End time Girl is just a sentence he is quoting from the bible. End time is a time of Godlessness. A perilous time when people are being lured to sin. Women will by themselves go after men. A time when righteous are being tempted. A time people won't be trusted. Calling her end time girl simply means she is the kind of girl the devil is using to bring iniquity to the world to the righteous
@@nenitafrica6851 No, you're mistaken in this case. You overlooked my words carefully. I specifically mentioned "in this context." It's clear that the man she was speaking to used that term because he believes she might exploit his image for spiritual harm.
I know you said you have a lot to learn but then you guys are getting this Nigerian pidgin so well meeehnn. Weldone I enjoyed both the video and your reactions
Note that the yam mentioned in your video is not the same as potato, which is also a staple in Nigeria. But the yam mentioned here is a rich tuberous root rich in carbohydrate and minerals. It grows far much bigger than the largest sweet potato of any kind.
The word " OGA" has context. It depend on how it is used. It can be used to mean a boss or someone that deserve respect or It can also be used to disrespect you. Eg oga, comot from dis place.
You need to use pidgin in your everyday conversation to remember some words. You do not need to speak a full sentence in pidgin, just mix it with a few words. You are doing very welll (Una dey try). I used to only speak pidgin fluently with my grandma but now with my dad who actually lives in New York. I live in London and try to speak to friends back home in Nigeria but most speak proper English.
'Pere' means 'Just or only' and not exactly. 'dey play' means 'keep on deceiving or kidding yourself' whassup or how far- How are you? 'wetin' can either mean 'what?' or 'something/object' 'no vex' means dont be annoyed/ angry 'chop' means eat 'Abeg' means please in either a nice way or dismissive way 'dey your dey make i dey my dey' means 'stay on your lane and let me stay on mine'
By ‘end time girl,’ he meant ‘Millennium Girl.’ As in, annoyance at the antics of Gen Z girls who go around Tik Toking, Instagraming and YouTubing 😂. He couldn’t understand why she was recording while asking where to buy fruits and wanted no part in her end time/millenial/Gen Z craziness! 😅
Actually its the old yam that taste better not the newly harvested yam. Yam is considered the king of Crops,--mainly cultivated by Men. A man is as rich as his yam barns. Cassava is a women cultivated crop and the mother of root crops in our part of Nigeria.
"No,..... in this context, an 'End-Time girl' refers to a girl who exhibits devilish behavior and aims to capture his image or face on film to engage in negative spiritual activities."
Vex means angry or annoy… no vex means don’t be angry or don’t get angry.. it can be use in different situations. Example if you trolling on someone to get them annoyed and angry… means you fry vex am. I hope you understand now.

Yes it's a word used in the Nigerian pidgin English(a variation of English spoken in Nigeria) which means I don't know, it was borrowed from the Portuguese who came to west Africa precisely Nigeria from the word saber-to know
Wait a minute! you guys don't have yams, but sweet potatoes? sweet potatoes ain't yam, they're different. Yams are bigger than sweet potatoes, they're dark brown coloured(barklike) skin, and when you peel off the bark-like skin, you'll see it's white edible part

You are both correct as there is element of lack of trust from the man
Bros na lie,which version of pidgin be dat. Don't confuse these folks bro
The Demouchets, I see you are learning very fast. "Oga" means ...Sir, senior, Mr. (Respect for the men)! Your are correct!

Yams are different from Sweet Potatoes. Yams are much larger and they are not as sweet as sweet potatoes.
The new yam is not sweet..

End time girl is a negative expression that can be understood as evil person.
