Nigerian slangs and vocabulary

Ok, this game is inspired by a thread on "learning Jamaican english". Though the poster was attacked (as usual) for wanting to speak Jamaican English, instead of the "Queen's" english or "Proper English". I think language is a matter of choice, needless to say, people should be allowed to communicate in any language they choose to use - Jamaican, French, English OR PIDGIN!!!!

This game is about creating a large vocabs of Nigerian pidgin english  - American/British  English


I will start:

Kolo = Mad
Pepper = Money
Shayo = Drinks

Ok post yours....
