What does "to fash" mean in Nigerian slang?

In Nigerian slang, "to fash" means to deliberately ignore, dismiss, or pay no attention to someone or something. It is used in informal Nigerian English and Pidgin, especially in everyday conversation and social interactions where someone is being intentionally overlooked or not taken seriously. The term comes from Nigerian Pidgin usage of "fash," which developed from "fashion" in older slang usage, where "no fashion" or "fash" came to mean something not worth attention, eventually evolving into the modern sense of ignoring or dismissing.
