The slang, “Idan” has been gaining popularity on the streets of Nigeria and social media platforms.
“Idan” is rooted in the Yoruba language, where it originally meant “magic” or “wonder.” Now, “Idan” has taken on a new meaning in Nigerian street lingo.
The term Idan finds its roots in the Yoruba language, which is spoken by one of Nigeria’s largest ethnic groups. In Yoruba, Idan translates to “magic” or “wonder.” However, over time, the word has evolved into a slang term that represents someone who possesses extraordinary abilities or handles situations in a seemingly magical or exceptional manner.
This transformation has led to the widespread use of Idan as a token of respect and admiration among Nigerians, both on social media and in everyday conversations.
On Nigerian streets and social media platforms, Idan has become a buzzword. It is colloquially used to refer to someone perceived as a “boss” or a person held in high esteem. People associated with Idan are seen as having attributes such as power, wealth, influence, and strength.
By using the term Idan, people express their admiration for those they consider influential or powerful, showcasing their respect and admiration.
