If you ever see two Nigerian guys talking, chances are they’ve been friends for years and don’t know each others’ names. If you’re a Nigerian guy reading this, call your guy now and ask him to tell you your name. He doesn’t know it. Even you, you don’t know his name.

This article will teach you the things to call your guy when you don’t know his name:

1. Chief

This one is simple. You’re calling him a chief. He wants to be called a chief. He likes being called a chief. Win-win.

2. Boss

Some people act like they don’t like this one. They’ll probably say, “No dey whine me, na you be boss”.

3. OG/G/My G

You can curtsy by laying on the ground when you call them this one.

4. Big man

He’ll probably call you big man too.

5. Babe

If you’re feeling frisky, you can throw this one in. Anything you see, take it like that.

6. My guy

Simple and sweet.

7. Senior man

Nigerian men love being called “Senior man”.

8. Bro

If all else fails, this one can’t.

9. Sweetie pie

Feel free to throw this one in too. Variety is the spice of life.

10. Chairman

Make sure you pronounce it as “Chyaa-Man”. Don’t bring any nonsense accent into it, please.

11. Ogbonge master

One question: Why not?
