"Unaware" is used in a colloquial sense to describe being caught off guard or surprised by a sudden event, like a social media notification. While it exists in standard English, its usage in the phrase "caught me unaware" is a very common fixed expression in Nigerian English and Pidgin. It conveys a sense of being startled in a way that is often exciting or unexpected. It highlights the person's lack of preparation for the news or event that just occurred.
