It literally means "little black guy (or child)", it's the diminutive of "nego", a slangish term for "negro". Naturally, that's a very polemic word. It could be offensive, depending on the context. If you call a stranger that, it's heavily racist, however, it's common for some family members and friends to call each other like that in a tender way.
