Nigerian girls are special. Nigerian girls love shakara. Even when they are helplessly in love with you, they still front and play hard to get. They will hardly come out to say the words ‘I love you’. This is probably because of the reactions Nigerian men give when girls try to toast them.
We’re not here to make excuses for anyone, though. Here are some of the things Nigerian girls love to say when they are falling hard for you. You better take the hint.
1. ‘Ode’
This is not an insult, it’s actually a Nigerian girl’s way of flirting with you.
2. ‘ I don’t want your girlfriend to come and break my head o!’
This is just her way of asking if you have a girlfriend.
3. ‘Is there light in your house?’
This means they want to come over to your house and hang out, but they’re looking for an excuse.
4. ‘Big head’
Sometimes, instead of calling you ‘ode’, they’ll use ‘big head’ as a term of endearment.
5. ‘You can’t even call somebody’
This one is code for ‘I miss you’.
6. ‘Go away jare’
If you know what’s good for you, better stay. Nigerian girls are the queens of reverse psychology.
7. ‘Won’t you come and take me out?’
Her way of saying, ‘when are we going on a date?’
8. ‘You just forgot about me’
Another way of saying ‘ I miss you’.
9. ‘Have you eaten?’
If she asks you this, she really cares about you.
10. ‘I hate you’
If she says this, then she’s head over heels in love with you.
