My attention was drawn by my wife this morning that to the word ' fanimorous' is now included in English dictionary. It is though a slang but has now found its way to the English dictionary with the proper meaning. While it may not be a surprise because English language itself a container of all kinds of words from many languages. Iroko for instance being a tree grown in tropical Africa. Words like portmanteau is a french word etc. Many of us have been using this word as a slang for local understanding not knowing it has gone international.  7 Likes 3 Shares

This is injustice of the highest order. Also the word RIGIMALITY from Hausa word RIGIMA meaning chaos, trouble or problem should be added. I did not want any RIGIGIMALITY in my country.  |
