The most misused word in Nigeria has to be “ramifications.”
Here are 10 words Nigerians commonly misuse:
1.🔹Ramifications
People think it means “in all ways.”
But it simply means consequences or effects.
2.🔹Double-dating
People think it means dating two people at once.
But it simply means two different couples going on a date together.
3.🔹Bogus
People think it means “very big.”
But it actually means fake or fraudulent.
4.🔹Severally
People think it means “many times.”
But it actually means separately or individually.
5.🔹Lousy
People think it means “noisy.”
But it actually means terrible or of poor quality.
6.🔹Dupe
People think a dupe is a scammer.
But a dupe is actually the person who has been deceived or scammed.
7.🔹Herbalist
People often use it to mean a “witch doctor.”
But a herbalist is someone who practises herbal medicine.
8.🔹Invaluable
People think it means “useless.”
But it actually means extremely valuable.
9.🔹Nonchalant
People think it means negligent or careless.
But it actually means calm and unconcerned.
10.🔹Stubborn
People think it means playful or troublesome.
But it simply means unwilling to change your mind or behaviour.
What do you think is the most misused word in 9ja?
I'll go first.
MALICE
.
.
.
What you call Malice is Stonewalling.
Refusal to talk to a person and cut off communication during conflict, or anger, is called STONEWALLING.
Malice simply means intention to commit harm.
Nobody is keeping malice with you. That phrase doesn't exist and doesn't make sense in English. The person is stonewalling you.

Six years ago, @innosonvehicles gave me my first car after I won Big Brother.
Six years of memories, miles and stories later, I think it’s time we had a conversation. 😂
Innoson, Let’s change my car !
I think there’s a story here worth telling.
TAKE NOTE OF THR FOLLOWING JUST IN CASE!!!!!!
When you want you to write a statement at the POLICE station or EFCC or law enforcement office;
1. Don't leave blank spaces, cross a line over any blank space left once you are done.
2. Remember to put full stop once you are done writing and sign at the front of that full stop.
3. If you are forced to write a statement against yourself.
DON'T WORRY, at the signature part.
Just add UD as part of your signature (meaning under Duress)
4. It is not a WAEC answer sheet where you must fill up all the page, write what you know only and cross line on the space remaining.
5. Don't agree to write a statement when your lawyer or someone you trust is not there.
If they force you to write, remember (number 3 point.)
6. Avoid answering unnecessary questions when your lawyer is not there.
You have the right to remain silent, cos anything you say can be used against you in court
7. If POLICE send you invitation during weekend, try tell dem say you go show face on Monday as you are out of town for now, cos they will probably detain you till Monday before they can transfer you to court if the matter is the one the type they need to transfer to court
8. Don't forget to share this p0st
9. Sign on every page of the paper, not just the final page
10. If there is a mistake when writing, cross it out cleanly, write the correction, and place your initials directly beside the alteration.
Happy taco Tuesday 🎉

The highlight of my day yesterday was when a guy sent me N1.9m part payment for the 2024 Macbook Pro M4 Pro with 24GB RAM 1TB SSD then called to enquire about some things and I heard his girlfriend convincing him in the background with "don't worry, he will deliver. He even gives free gifts too. I follow him on twitter".
Whoever you are baby girl, you will ask God for one fruit of the womb, he will give you four.
If your boyfriend is Mr Presh, you will be his Audrey.🤲🙏
If you can see this, thank you dear.🫂❤️

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my diary session at sea.
Just me venting about a job I love so passionately.

Do you genuinely believe that some people are destined to be poor while others are destined to be wealthy, regardless of their choices and circumstances?

In the history of Nigeria, no bread comes close to Butterfield.
When Butterfield was alive, no bread could compete.

Dear Enzo Maresca, I know you’re not Pep, and your style of play is different.
But you’ve shut down everyone who said we were entering a banter era. You’ve changed the narrative.
One thing you’ve shown me is that you know how to get the results when it matters.
5 wins in a row.
Top of the Premier League.
And a derby win at Old Trafford.
I applaud you, Enzo Maresca. 👏🏽

Why is whistling onboard a ship considered bad luck, and why is the cook the only person allowed to break the rule?
This tradition traces back to 13th-century Europe, rooted in the Age of Sail across the British Royal Navy and North Sea trade routes. Old seafarers believed that whistling at sea was a direct challenge to the gods of the sea, as it was thought to mimic the pitch of howling winds and effectively whistle up a destructive gale when the ship was already vulnerable.
Beyond the superstition, the ban was strictly enforced for vital operational safety. Prior to modern public address systems, deck officers relied exclusively on the high-pitched Bosun’s Pipe to signal critical orders over the roar of heavy seas, meaning casual whistling created mass confusion on deck during high-stress maneuvers.
The ship's cook was the sole exception for a purely practical reason: food security. Fresh provisions were exceptionally scarce on long voyages, so a whistling cook served as proof that he wasn't eating the crew's rations while preparing meals in the galley. The moment the whistling stopped, everyone onboard knew he was chewing.
What started as medieval maritime survival turned into one of the most enduring traditions at sea.

An old sailors' myth claims that whistling onboard is bad luck because it directly insults the wind gods. However, there is one exception: the cook is the only person allowed to whistle at sea.
The maritime industry has a lot of folklores.

In the year 2005,I was working as a kitchen assistant at Golden Gate restaurant on a casual worker basis. Hoping to be staffed after 6 months which was a standard procedure,four months into the job we were told there will be no permanent staffing arrangements anymore due to the company’s new policy. I had a meeting with other fellow casual workers and we agreed to state our displeasure in uniformity,because as casuals we do most of the works in the restaurant. But I never knew some of the workers were ready to continue with the casual work arrangement regardless, I experienced a major betrayal when I confronted the GM of the company a Chinese man in the presence of other coworkers. Being the spoke person of the group,I told the GM that we can’t accept the basis of a permanent causal staff position. But the other staff never informed me about their position,the GM observed their body language and felt I was the one instigating them to be rebellious. He asked them if they wish to continue with the company’s policy and they all nodded,with only me left in the wilderness. He asked them to pay me off and never to come back into the company’s premises,it was that day that I realized Nigerians can’t be trusted and fought for. Whatever you do,make sure you’re doing it with all your personal ambition and dedication to your self beliefs.
