Its basically those cities have embraced the 'noMANSland' status. You may without doubt find the whole tribes in Nigeria in those cities. |

I don't know why the guys in this forum from Edo and Delta are underrating Port Harcourt in terms of pidgin language. No doubt Benin and Warri are good in pidgin but there is hardly a pidgin a Benin or Warri person will flow that a Port Harcourt person will not understand. Some folks in Port Harcourt can't speak their dialect, can't speak good english either except pidgin. .... In earlier pages of this thread, some people(I guess guys from Delta) were talking about the pidgin slogan "u don baff"... I've been using "u don baff" since I was in primary school... Or is it "abeg push me H*, when senior bros shake body I go square you back"?....or "bro, u dey cap careless".... ... To me, these are normal pidgin that everyone would understand. I've met people here in Port Harcourt who came from Benin and Warri, yes, they have unique accent but we seem to relate very well in pidgin. Port Harcourt rocks in terms of pidgin. Pidgin is the daily means of communication on the street of Port Harcourt. 4 Likes 1 Share |

unstableaswater: Sierra Leone people don't speak Nigerian Pidgin but a form of Krio (Creole). Krio only influenced Nigerian Pidgin. A Sierra-Leonian will not understand Nigerian Pidgin and vice versa so I see no basis for bringing them in this discourse. Lagos has the population of latent pidgin speakers who hardly speak it. Warri has the pidgin passion, culture and outlook. There are no basis for comparison whatsoever. |

Kudanis: It is not issue of under rating PH Pidgin. The difference is as clear as a Nigerian speaking English and a British man speaking English. It is annoying to hear a PH person saying "leaving me A" instead of "free me",Dey your own , abeg leave me or stay your lane. You also hear a Lagosian saying "shea you sabi me".The beauty of Warri Pidgin is that they have 10 different words or expressions to represent something. Pidgin in Benin are still okay but they listen and marvel when a "proper old Warri" speaks Pidgin. 3 Likes 1 Share |
