Willie Obiano

The 4th democratic governor of Anambra state. He is widely regarded by Anambrarians as one of the worst governors of Anambra state. More commonly known as "Willie the drunk", he is supported mainly by intellectually disabled persons or the 1% who know about his skirt chasing problem. Some of the things he's achieved as governor include:

1. Putting the cart before the horse
2. Refusal to take action during the Onitsha market fire. He was caught hosting visitors and measuring dick with the Nigerian army during the fire. Millions of property were lost; no fire fighters around to help contain the fire.
3. Arranges a photo op with Pope Francis at the Vatican.
4. Bans the operation of commercial motorcycles without setting up an alternative.
5. Incapable of building and maintaining an adequate, safe system of roads and bridges.

6. Blames Peter Obi for his drinking problems and accountability issues.

This is an unbiased definition of Willie Obiano. I kid you not.
I hope someone tells Willie Obiano that he is better at drinking than at being a governor.

Chinedu

Chinedu is the perfect boyfriend. A ladies man, and probably the only guy that Amaka never disappoints. Usually sweet, sensible, smart, full of charisma, loving, teasing and naughty. He is a no-nonsense person and someone you could count on. His loyalty is never in question.

A guy that is outgoing and friendly. Everyone knows of him but he keeps very few close friends. He can be a really shy person at first, might take some time for you to get to know him, but once you become friends, you'll never regret it.

A bit annoying sometimes but in a good way. He is crazy and fun to be with. He can make you laugh all day. He seems brave, but a very sensitive guy.

Chinedu strives to do things for the better, hardly selfish, observant and family oriented. Once you find a Chinedu you'll love him always. Absolutely amazing guy.

Amebo

A typical Nigerian expression used to describe a 'loose mouthed' person (or a gossip). It can also indicate talk or rumours involving the private lives of other people.

Have You Eaten?

This is a question typically asked by Nigerians to show care or pretend to worry about your 'stomach'. The question 'have you eaten?' is sometimes met with silence, heavy sigh, or a lie. And If the reply is 'I haven't eaten', there is a chance you will hear 'Go and cook na'.

The question could also suggest strong term of endearment.

The phrase is exactly what you get If someone likes you

It's also an annoying question we love to hear, even though we act like we don't

Three words that have lost their originally intended meaning

A serious inquiry that should not be taken seriously
