What does "push-me-I-push-you" mean in Nigerian slang?

In Nigerian slang, "push-me-I-push-you" refers to illicitly brewed alcohol, usually cheap, strong, and locally made spirits sold informally. It is used in Nigerian English and Pidgin in everyday speech, especially when talking about street alcohol that is unregulated and often harsh in taste or high in alcohol content. The phrase comes from Nigerian Pidgin English, describing the mutual "push" or rapid exchange between drinker and effect—once you drink, it quickly "pushes" you into intoxication, and you in turn keep drinking, creating a cycle.
