Mgbada[edit]

Alleged Nigerian "pidgin" (slang?) word. Author is anonymous, and doesn't even specify which of Nigeria's 500 languages uses this word. Also, it supposedly means "victim" but Google seems to indicate that Mgbada is a common first name in Africa. Perhaps it should be transwiked over to Wiktionary, but I don't think this material is worth their time. ---Isaac R 03:31, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, looks like someone is claiming they are a victim of the scam? The only google hits which claim this means victim are wikipedia mirrors. Megan1967 04:22, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Purge from any and all Wiki projects! ...do not transwiki unless truth can be verified. Sounds like one of those "Watch out for evil evil tourist trappers!" chain emails. And how the crap do they know EXACTLY 419 scammers use it? Are they psychic or something? Master Thief Garrett 05:48, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
They mean 419 scammers. Kappa 09:26, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If this is in fact true, then it should be added to the article 419 scam. It's too insignificant to need its own article Stancel 00:42, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
