'Nes' is an internet developed term. It means 'Yes, obviously.' You use when somebody contributes a blatant question. For example 'Is the taxi here yet?' when the person being asked is waiting with them. He would reply saying 'Nes.' The word allegedly developed because 'Nes' translates to 'Because' in Lithuanian. This was mistaken for 'Of course' due to the accent and so English believed 'Nes' meant 'Of course'. This is understandable because it sounds very similar to the word 'Yes', which, in English, means similar to 'Of course'. It supposedly began in London and was used on the internet, where like most internet phrases, it spread.

So now when the obvious to answer question or statement is purposed, 'Nes' is becoming a frequent answer.
