1. Nothing is wrong with OP knowing the correct English expression of it. 2. It's not a dialect. It's pidgin. 3. Not knowing and knowing, which is additive to knowledge? Remember knowledge is the progressive discovery of our ignorance.

You obviously need some schooling, you said pidgin is NOT a dialect and i corrected you with screenshot as proof that pidgin is actually a language and as such a dialect, since you don't even know the meaning of the word "dialect" I have screenshot another proof of the meaning.

Surprisingly, instead of you to accept you goofed you are here typing trash to defend yourself and further display your ignorance boldly online like a dropout.

Don't be lazy next time, do a simple research before correcting others on something you are ignorant about.

SMH for Gen Z! Can't you guys express yourself without disparaging someone? In as much as you tried to gaslight Google, it still ended up defining 'pidgin' and not 'pidgin dialect.' Pidgin is a LANGUAGE and it has dialects - A Warri person speaking the language can be identified so is a Cross Riverian, based on semantics, phonology and vocabulary. I have a B.A. (Hons.) Degree in this field bros. Google?

Wtf, you have a B.A (Hons) Degree in English and still don't know pidgin as a language is also a dialect? it is either you didn't attend classes or you aren't paying attention in class or you bought the degree.

Meanwhile, I have attached yet another screenshot from Merriam Webster dictionary and not Google, I am waiting for you to tell me Webster dictionary also got it wrong.

Stop embarrassing yourself bro.

You now agreed pidgin is a language after initially denying it isn't, smh..If it is a language then why say it isnt a dialect? Stop confusing yourself abeg.

It has no translation in English language as those who own the language cannot relate with it. It is purely a Nigerian phenomenon.

And what is wrong with "nepa don bring light?" It is a 'dialect', so to speak, and the people who talk like that understand themselves.

What will knowing the "correct English" do?




Even when we all know the correct English, nobody will use that anyways

@Magnoliaa, everything is wrong with 'NEPA has brought light...'

It's a corruption of the English language. Light is the end product of power or electricity. And, what you're ignorantly and rapturously advocating doesn't have international intelligibility. That is, it's not understood by others who aren't Nigerians. As many have correctly put it, it's: NEPA has restored power or electricity or electric light.



There's a deep-seated hypocrisy that stems from people's inadequacy of the English grammar and their lame attempt to hide it.

For me, every user of a language has a responsibility to that language, whether it be English, Igbo, Hausa, Mandarin or Italian, at the level of grammar, phonetics and diction.

You and those who liked and shared your vacuous response, have either done so cynically or ignorantly. But I tilt more towards their ignorance. It's the hallmark of a black man to beatify average and the poverty of what is not.
