erico2k2: well if you put it dat way. its vice versa i have a wafarian friend when he first moved into yenagoa he couldnt understand many of our slangs like once i said. "Abobi wida dah ur Banny na wetin make she de kari bodi go sky like dat. abi na cuz say we tok say she make wella." And he was like " Na Wusai dat ur pidgin de for de komot so?" and I just laughed like "Na Yeniz oh" |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Rexia(f): 3:42pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Sinistami:Hahaha that's funny But wait a minute,did u just say wusai? I thought wusai was not Nigerian pidgin.Wusai is Cameroon pidgin isn't it? |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Sinistami(m): 4:28pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Rexia: Sist its just DAT way. in the south in some places its Usai, Wusaid or Wusai. in places like Lagos its mainly Which side. in Yenagoa you'd hear Wustin, Ustin which just means what. in places like Lagos its which thing. Naija pidgin has different dialect of it as numerous as the other indigenous languages. LoL have you heard Aboki pidgin You go laff krase. 2 Likes |

Pidgin is all about Delta and Edo state. The pidgin in Lagos is Yoruba infused as for Ibadan, I am sure that is a mistake on your part cos they don't speak pidgin in Ibadan. Yenagoa and PH yeah they can be on the list. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Springz(f): 4:40pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Sinistami:lol, sorry about that, not necessarily downgrading though just comparing the cities and how widely it's spoken. |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Sinistami(m): 4:52pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
OK Yenagoa isn't DAT populated I can see the reason for DAT. As for PH don't go near the ikwere dominated areas you won't hear much pidgin there but in places like Borokiri. Marinebase etc. you'd love it. As for Lagos its just Ajegunle and that's just because many Nigerdeltans settled there. people from Edo Delta Bayelsa etc. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Sinistami:Some people say dat when Cameroonians speak pidgin they sound like waffi and ijaw people.Is it true? Cause I don't find it to be so. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Sinistami(m): 9:06pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Rexia:Dunno but they could be a link maybe. there are many ijaw people in Cameroon from Bayelsa so maybe there's a link. And for one there's a place named Cameroon camp in Yenagoa. a place to house the many displaced Nigerians who were affected by the bakassi crisis. They speak a lot of Camtok mixed with Naija pidgin there. |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Rexia(f): 9:18pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Sinistami:Are you serious? I never knew that.So it means dat if I go there and speak my pidgin they would understand? 2 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Sinistami(m): 9:25pm On Apr 16, 2018 |
Rexia: For the most part yes, but only in Cameroon camp. And the Cameroon camp pidgin is even becoming another Pidgin dialect on its own. 1 Like 1 Share |

Sinistami:Wow! Dat is interesting.How is it becoming a pidgin dialect on it's own? |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Sinistami(m): 8:17am On Apr 17, 2018 |
Rexia: Because of the camps isolation from the rest of Yenagoa. Their speak differently from the rest of yenagoa. they say tinz like Wus Kain news de na? for Hi instead of the standard Hafa or Afa (Howfar). |

Ekinematics: Every pidgin English City has its own pidgin accent some may even have different variants ike Yenagoa..PH but Warri own is just unique it's like the way Northern USA people love the Southern US Accent..Shikina. |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by Deadlytruth(m): 5:26pm On May 04, 2019 |
gerg:That is a purely fallacious assumption. Thank God you admit that it is just a product of your thought...."I think.." You obviously are one of the Binis who have never visited Edo North. The Edo North residents with poor grasp of pigdin are actually natives of the neighboring Kogi and Ondo States brought in by commercial pursuits. 2 Likes |

All of ina wey dey carry shout anyhow here no even know the origin of Pidgin English in Nigeria especially the South South Variation of it. Broken English A.K.A Pidgin English was first developed or spoken in Benin City,from there it spread to Urhiapele(Sapele) and other Mid-western towns and villages then,Oil rivers places. The acclaimed warri version of pidgin is like the variant of the Lagos Yoruba language. Even the i-go-die that was mentioned up there started his career from Benin city. The problem is,Edo people no dey announce their progressor achievement their Delta cousins, and it has robbed them off so many things amongst them political and economic benefits for whatever reasons i still can't pin point. |
Re: 10 Cities In Nigeria Where Pidgin English Is Most Spoken by ORGUST: 5:10pm On Nov 02, 2021 |
Sinistami: It's very possible. Nigerians that fled from the civil war Nationalized there. Mind you,Nigeria isn't the only country where pidgin is spoken. Even far away in Jamaica,the people there speak pidgin aside patois. |
