Pardon me if this topic has been discussed before but have you guys noticed how in Naija, we tend to say things twice as if it is for emphasis. See below for examples;

portor portor
pissy pissy
chin chin
bum bum 
blow blow
puff puff
thiefi thiefi
now now
copy copy 
tolo tolo
cry cry
quick quick. . .

If you remember other examples, please add.
