There is nothing to admire in the pidgin accent. Pidgin English is one of the reason the urhobo language is dying today. So just stick to the Urhobo and English language. I quite agree with you. The language is dying, particularly among the present day youths; married and unmarried. |

Proudly waffi!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most painful thing is I can't speak the language which is now very worrisome to me. When I was a kid,i do ignore my parents when they speak it to me,will just say speak me english please.My grandma said then,this thing would be a regret in future,will just laugh and tell her,it won't mama,but know it is.  I tried to join a group,when they speak,i just look like mumu.Had to leave the group. Is it possible I still learn it?Am really now so much interested to learn,hope is not to late? Am from aragba from father side but my mum is from okpe(adeje)am more used to my mother side. Who can teach me?
