martineverest:Point of correction, Anioma doesn't speak Igbo. Even all Enuani don't speak the same. We speak pidgin in Anioma because we don't have a central form of speaking. likewise other parts of Delta. When an Ika and an Enuani meet, they don't speak Igbo, what we speak is pidgin because nobody wants to speak in the other's language. and you're wrong. 2 Likes |

Ovokoo: which Ibadan? The same Ibadan where they reply u in Yoruba even when u speak to the person in Pidgin? Remove it from the list joor. And is it not the same Owerri where bus preachers and and traders announce their businesses in Igbo language, assuming we all speak Igbo? Towns like Makurdi, Jos and Lokoja will thrive better in that list than Owerri and Ibadan 4 Likes 2 Shares |

harizonal123: Guy you have said it all. It is sad to see people mention Lagos, PH, Abuja,Owerri, when it comes to Pidgin.Lagos wants to claim top in everything even when they know they stand no chance. When you hear I Go Die speak pidgin and you hear Seyi law or someone from PH that is when you know who speak the real Pidgin. Lagos population does not matter, a small city like Sapele speaks one of the best Pidgin in Nigeria.Effurun/Ekpan are on another level.Warri should come top, followed by Sapele,Effurun and Benin.All other cities are not worthy of mention as far Pidgin is concern. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Built2last:Owerri & Ibadan should be removed from that list immediately. I live in Owerri & I have been to Ibadan. In the former pidgin is only widely spoken in the higher institutions that dot the city while in the streets, markets or offices, it is strictly English or Igbo at the ratio 30/70. Yoruba is predominantly spoken in Ibadan, whether in the streets, markets or offices! I had a hard time communicating with the locals when I went there. They always think that everybody knows yoruba & many cant speak either English or pidgin! 2 Likes |

OP, your report has been spoilt with the mention of Owerre. Owerre is at best a local town filled with local poorly unpaid civil servants that only speak their local terrible Igbo dialect that the core Igbos can't even understand. Owerre does not have people from other states living in it except 100% locals. Nobody visits Owerre as it has nothing to offer anybody except that the town is filled 100% with cheap commercial se.x hawkers and armed robbers that harass people. Ovokoo: 3 Likes

Seriously did Ibadan just make the of pidgin English speakers. Can you enter a commercial bus or an okada man or a market woman see you and the first thing start speaking pigdin with you? Never they only speak Yoruba so please op remove Ibadan from that list. And you even put Lagos before Benin. Lagos that bus conductor always speak Yoruba to their passengers. No bus conductor can ever try to speak Benin language to its passenger in Benin unless he is not ready for business. Also people in owerri and most IBO land speak IBO more than pidgin. In fact they speak correct English more than pidgin 3 Likes |
