I think those of you objecting to this post don't understand. Since_1914 and Egba girl you're yet to cite examples. All the examples cited in English are wrong. I mean the conotations in English. You're citing those examples literally from your knowledge of pidgin English which is what the post is saying. Normally, if not for this post you can't ask ''he is coming?'' and call it a good English. Get it?. |

mrrock: He is coming?. Is not a good English. It sounds a tad informal, but its very correct. Consider: 'They will be here soon.' 'So he is coming?' 'Yes he's coming.' jaymichael: Q: Our presido dey chop N1.3 billion naira CASSAVA BREAD for Aso Rock? ANS: our presido dey chop N1.3 billion naira CASSAVA BREAD for Aso Rock. Him go fit finish am?
