SAPA as Currency

Okay...
So guys, I know that if you are a Nigerian you are already familiar with the term "Sapa", so this introduction/definition I am about to give is not for you... But take heed still.

Now, if you are not from Nigeria and you hear a Nigerian say something about Sapa, please do not assume that they are referring to someplace in Vietnam... Lol.

Most Nigerians have not been to Vietnam nor plan to... So they couldn't be referring to that...

So to bring you up to speed if you are not familiar with the term "Sapa"... Here's what it means... Sapa is a term in Nigerian Pidgin that has everything to do with a state of abject poverty or lack.

So when a Nigerian is unable to dispense cash at a given time, they could say, "Omo Sapa is on my neck"... Which would mean that they are very poor and it is affecting their survival.

Now, note that in most Western or Developed countries, when a person says he is poor, he may have a few dollars or pounds that could mean so much to a Nigerian if passed on to him, so be well aware that when a Nigerian says they are poor, or they are experiencing SAPA, they are certainly not talking about just any kind of Poverty but that which could as well leave them in a really bad state...
So what are FOUR things SAPA could do to you in Nigeria?
Well, here's a list of unavoidable things that will happen to you when Sapa calls.

  1. Sapa will make your friends avoid your calls: Lol. You think you have friends now, yeah?
    Well, get to that point when you cannot dispense cash for a long time and can only keep receiving it and see how many friends you actually have.

  2. SAPA will disgrace you... Again, lol.
    So when you are poor, yeah, your second name may as well just become disgrace because you will be getting it on full doses steady.
    People who you know are not as intelligent as you are or handsome or strong as you, will insult you dear, they will rubbish you.

  3. SAPA will take away your pride.
    Here's a scenario, you are on an outing with some friends and they are suggesting things you guys could get to spice the time out... If SAPA is holding your throat, do you think you will be able to speak. Hehehe, you will just sink in shame my dear, Sapa will take away your pride at once.

  4. SAPA will make Women run from you.
    Here's to all the men who have been turned down by women recently who they know very well, they could have gotten with ease in any other circumstance. Yeah, I know, it is not because you are not fine or smart... My dear, it is SAPA ooo, Sapa did you dirty.

I have had all these experiences and I am here seriously rooting for you, that when SAPA comes knocking, it will see the blood and pass over you. Amen.

Yours in the struggle:
Steward of Words.
