Jigga is a term of respect from one black man to another black man. Sometimes, Black men show respect to each other by referring to their mates as my Nigga, this is done to show a bond between men. The word Nigga, as you know, usually a racial slurr has been reclaimed and used as a symbol of empowerment. Sometimes, whites or blacks here in toronto show respect to each other by referring to their mates as "my jigga!" Since I am a white man, I do not use the N version, but feel ok with usuing the J version. In short I am showing respect and referring to you as my home boy, Jigga!
Hope that helps my Oz mate!
