Language used in Nairobi boulevards? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ibo

'language' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in nairobi boulevards?' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'IBO' is hidden within 'nairobi boulevards'.

'used' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ibo that I've seen before include "Language of Nigeria" , "Nigerian tribesman" , "Native of SE Nigeria" , "SE Nigerian language" , "One of chief cultural languages of Nigeria" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
