There is no such language as 'Nigerian'. There are over 500 languages spoken in Nigeria.

'Oga' is a Yoruba word, the closest translation would be "Man in Charge". It is just like when you call someone "boss" - if they are actually your boss, it is a deferent yet somewhat dismissive thing to say...but "oga" can also be used informally, between peers, friends, etc, to a much different end. Just like "boss".

Yoruba names like Ogayemi, Ogajumi, Ogasimi, or towns like Shagamu-Oga comes to mind.
