Based on the responses, we can conclude that regardless of the tribe, Nigerians are just not nice people.
From Yoruba to Igbo to Ibibio insults, here are the seven craziest ones we got:
Wonbiliki wobia!
Baruwa Adetutu Adesola
This is a Yoruba insult for a person that likes food. But is is a crime to like food? Is it?
Oponu po tea
Biya ‘beebee’ Abiola
It’s a Yoruba insult that means fool. Again, these Yoruba people ehn!
Anu ofia ka gi nma
Zee Ching-yin
An Igbo insult that means, “a useless animal is better than you”. But, how? How can you even say something like this to someone? How?
Anuofia!!!efulefu!!!
Nwamaka Edith Amadi
It’s an Igbo insult, but we’re not entirely sure what it means. It sounds very hurtful though. The kind of thing that’ll just make you sit down and think about your life.
Alapa stainless
Omowumi Adeleke
A Yoruba insult that directly translates to “one with a stainless arm/hand” and is used to insult a lazy person. But how do you even use stainless steel to yab somebody sha? How?
Okponu Dokpemu and sule gbefe
Dammie Rhema Ogunjimi
These ones are Yoruba insults which we’re sure in the true fashion of Yoruba insults will just pain you to your chest.
Otoro gba gbue ka gi
Zee Ching-yin
An Igbo insult that means, “may you die of uncontrollable running stomach.” This one is just harsh. Not nice at all. As in, at all.
Nton mkpo
Bright Udoh
An Ibibio word that means Idiot. If you don’t speak Ibibio, you’ll be thinking they’re giving you nickname.
Nkita la’cha ike gi
Zee Ching-yin
An Igbo insult that means, “May a dog lick your butt.” And I ask once again; But why? Why? Why??
Ebe achi!
Emmanuel Ogwuche
An Idoma insult that means bush meat/foolish person. If you did not know the word, you’ll be thinking they want to give you food, not knowing that they are yabbing you.
And now, here’s a post on childhood insults that’ll make you remember the old days.
Especially when they’re abusing you and smiling at you at the same time!! Like, WHY?!!
But you will hear some Hausa insults that will make you do like this:
It will hit you DEEP in your soul.
And don’t even let us get started on Warri people and “YOUR PAPA!”,
But what would you expect? Warri people NO DEY CARRY LAST before!
It’s quite obvious really. Every Nigerian language has some pretty strong insults in their vocabulary that’ll make you go:
WHY DO YOU HATE ME LIKE THIS?!
