One of the attributes of the Nigerian people is the uniquely confident way we stand out – what many call the Nigerian swag.

What got many Nigerians amazed was the vice president’s use of social lingos and his knowledge of trends. The vice president listed names of popular Nigerian dances as he talked about the swag many Nigerians posses.
He listed Skelewu, Shakitibobo, shaku-shaku, Zanku, and even mentioned the popular slang Gbe body e.
In his attempt to talk about how Nigerians are taking over the world, the vice president showed a video of kindergarten kids in China learning to speak Igbo.
The Nigerian Spirit is indomitable and our languages are taught in countries around the world.
