I Am Coming: The Hidden Language of Nigerians
“I am coming” can mean five minutes, three hours, or “I haven’t left the house yet.” If you know, you know. And if you’ve spent years away from Nigeria, you may know the words but find yourself a beat behind the joke.
I Am Coming brings you back into the conversation. With warmth and humour, Kay Williams decodes the slang, Pidgin, proverbs, and unwritten social rules that make everyday Nigerian speech mean so much more than the words themselves.
Explore 500+ phrases, proverbs, and expressions, each explained through its literal meaning, its real meaning, a familiar scene, and how to use it. From sapa, japa, and owambe to “How far?”, “Am I your mate?”, and the glorious shout of “Up NEPA!”, this is a guide to the language you hear at home, at parties, in the market, and around family.
Inside, you’ll also find a Pidgin crash course, The Ten Commandments of Coming Home, and a final exam to see how much you’ve picked up.
For Nigerians abroad finding their way back into the rhythm of home, and for anyone who wants to understand what Nigerians really mean,this book is your invitation to join the conversation.
