literally got this word in a poem for form 5, no idea what it meant, though i thought it seemed similar to the n-word, makes sense.

nayga isn’t the n word. it means people or “pickanayga” = children.

Nayga in patois doesn’t just refer to any black person but usually used in a derogatory way for a black person who is a lowlife or so

A negro - a person with African ancestry. Most Caribbean people of African descent can trace their heritage to slaves brought by the British, French, and Spanish.
