Not long ago a friend told me how he loves the Nigerian use of repeated, same-word compound nouns. Until then, i did not really pay attention. I found these words as amusing as they are creative. Below are just ten examples: Small-small Sabi-sabi Kuli-kuli puf-puf magu-magu chin-chin holy-holy chuwa-chuwa lie-lie true-true I guess Nairalanders will mention more. |
