Torley Nigeria Launches #torleypidginchallenge To Celebrate Nigeria’s Diversity by analysta: 6:37pm On Dec 02, 2020 |
There’s no doubt that Nigerians are one of the most unique people in the world, the Nigerian spirit and confidence is unparalleled. And Nigerians have learnt to express themselves in more than 500 distinct languages, but one language that allows the Nigerian diversity to thrive is the “Pidgin English” This is why according to a 2014 CNN poll; the Nigerian accent was ranked 6 sexiest language in the world. “Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich "oh's" and "eh's" of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can't reach. - CNN To celebrate the Naija spirit and uniqueness, Torley Nigeria has launched the #TorleyPidginChallenge, asking Nigerians to share their favorite pidgin language punchline or simple sentences, in a bid to reinforce pidgin English language as an essential Naija way of life. The hashtag challenge, already has cool and funny entries. Nigerian social media users have been posting photos of Torley products on their timeline with Pidgin English captions to share their creative skills while others are joining in to try it. The #TorleyPidginChallenge will continue until Dec 31st, giving the Nigerian community an opportunity to carry on demonstrating their creativity in expressing themselves the Naija way. The best Pidgin English caption with a photo of Torley product which has the most engagement wins the contest. Source https://www.facebook.com/1189108034543257/posts/3684061721714530/?d=n

It's not complete if they don't sample pidgin speakers from Edo, Delta and Rivers. They have the best pidgin in my opinion; exotic slangs to boot too. I had a course mate and a faculty mate converse in a language I knew was pidgin but that was where my knowledge ended. Couldn't understand what the convo was about, it was slang filled, even the prepositions and conjunctions were masked with slangs, only a few betrayed it was actually pidgin that was being spoken. Despite the fact that I didn't understand a lot of what was being said, it sounded so dope. The inflections, the flow, omg... Was just smiling sheepishly. "Don't understand what you're saying but I like it." 2 Likes |
