Nigerian Pidgin is an English-based pidgin and creole language spoken as a lingua franca across Nigeria. The language is commonly referred to as "Pidgin" or "Brokin". It is often not considered a creole language since most speakers are not native speakers, although many children do learn it early. Nonetheless it can be spoken as a pidgin, a
creole, or a decreolised acrolect by different speakers, who may switch between these forms depending on the social setting. Ihemere (2006) reports that Nigerian Pidgin is the native language
of approximately 3 to 5 million people and is a second language for at least another 75 million. Variations of Pidgin are also spoken across West Africa, in countries such as Equatorial Guinea, Ghana and Cameroon. Pidgin English, despite its common use throughout the country, has no official
status. Variations Each of the 250 or more ethnic groups in Nigeria
can converse in this language, though they usually
have their own additional words. For example, the Yorùbás use the words Şe and Abi when speaking Pidgin. These are often used at the start or end of
an intonated sentence or question. For example,
"You are coming, right?" becomes Şe you dey
come? or You dey come abi? Another example, the Igbos added the word Nna also used at the beginning of some sentences to show
camaraderie. For example, man! that test was hard
becomes Nna, that test hard no be small. Nigerian Pidgin also varies from place to place.
Dialects of Nigerian Pidgin may include the Warri,
Sapele, Benin, Port-Harcourt, Lagos especially in
Ajegunle, Onitsha varieties. Nigerian Pidgin is most widely spoken in the oil rich
Niger-Delta where most of its population speak it as their first language. What do you think or what do have to say if ''pidgin or brokin'' is made the Nigeria official language..

If it does, na to dey yarn dey go remain, abi wetin u expect.
