The creative mind state of the urban Nigerian social network relating youth deserves a standing ovation.
An all time classic 4 me was the broadcasts that transformed human names (Nouns) to Verbs. & Adjectives. Sheer creativity.
Another chance to showcase our matchless depth, humour& intelligence. Make your pick of any name and make it a verb. We have. a few examples

    Thanks for another informative website. The place else could I get that kind of info written in such a perfect way? I have a project that I’m just now working on, and I’ve been at the look out for such information.

    I as well as my friends appeared to be viewing the best strategies located on your website and before long I got an awful feeling I had not thanked the site owner for those strategies. All the young boys are actually stimulated to read them and already have really been having fun with these things. We appreciate you turning out to be really accommodating and then for choosing this kind of marvelous things most people are really eager to know about. My honest regret for not saying thanks to you earlier.
