have you guys ever noticed a lot of phrases sprung from youths on the street/neighborhoods and they spread around the country rapidly? I don't think any known media figure sprung words that 9ja's use today even that swagga word.

[size=15pt]You wouldn't know who started words like that, [/size]

River Niger, Niger. Wow what a mystery.

Me, lolz

you can never know u started that word just like asking who started area boy.
nigeria means niger area or black area because niger in latin means black as it was named by mr lugards wife
but this nai[b]jah[/b] is better meaning black God

it was me, myself, and I. ^{cant remember the name of the 4th guy now}

Am shock when people use such dirty names to form a website domain. What a waste and when you visit such website, they are filled with rubbish. Naija denote evil, shame and slavery. Nigerians stop pretending and be proud of your country - NIGERIA like the Americans do and stop using naija or 9ja it sucks.

swear say you never call Nigeria naija before for your life! and what is there to be pround about/of?

Ariyo AKINSOLA first used the 9ja word in year 2003, then an undergraduate student at the Federal University of Technology Akure. It is possible that he Could have been the first person for that but Naija had been for long.

The Word 'Naija' or iginated from 2 greek words 'Nai' and 'manja' which means a 'cloned' and 'leadership'. Due to its odd meaning, most people prefer to use the words as naija to connote the emergence of randy rulership in the black race African continent . . . (Contact me if you want details)
