                                   THE HISTORY OF PIDGEN ENGLISH
In 1817,Wen head still dey for knee,Dat time Wey Oyibo Dem (Biritsh oyibos) first com nigeria (na Lagos dem follow enter nigeria dem no sey if them folow east enter peren dem no go return 2 der country in peace because dem Igbo go finish them in two days)(no be mi talk am o,na histiri oooo).So as Dem enta Lagos dem go strait to Oba of Lagos, Oba ***Hmmm (i no remember in Name) na in dem com dey talk in English sey  "GOOD EVENING SIR"He no answer,there leader com begin dey introdus ihnsef sey"MY NAME IS SAMUEL HUGHES AND ME AND MY PEOPLE ARE HERE TO MAKE YOUR COUNTRY A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE AND IT WILL BE GOOD FOR YOU IF YOU AND YOUR PEOPLE CAN CORPORATE WITH US''(Our king no gree respond).And he(Dem leader) begin dey ask question again say  "WHAT ARE YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE THRONE ?" and  "SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU BEEN ON THE THRONE ?"no response from De King or any of him people,  to Dem suprise,Dem no hear sey King talku na in Dem com conclud sey Our king no hear All De grammer dem dey blow.

As Dem Oyinbos don kno sey our king or any of De vilagers no hear all De bigie-bigie grammer wey dem dey talk Na hin dem com conclud sey na from language dem go take stat de divelopment.Ne hin Den com do miting among Demself sey dem go send one person from  lagos go Biritain make e go len good-good English,so dat He go dey interpret De Big-big grammer to De king and him people.But make una com see wetin hapen o.As Dem prisent De idea give The King of Lagos(Dem take hand and dey even use drawing to tell am)Dat dey wan send one or two of hin people go dere country to len English so dat he go dey interpret to dem na hi King.At first De king no gree,he even vess sey dem go fite dose oyinbos and even declear War agaist them.But make U trust Oyinbo people,na hin Dem cary some of De youth and som men wey Dem kno say dem fit cause trouble put inside cell.Na Him the King com surrender say hin done gree and he even good sef make them choose any poeple them like among the poeple of the communty.

THE END


I beg my people na here part 1 of the torey go End make Una no Vess.
