Why Do Christians Not Pray In Pidgin? by Jaglieski: 3:03pm On Dec 21, 2014
This is something that bothers me greatly. I have never seen or heard any Christian pray to God in pidgin.
Most Christians usually pray to God in English while those who are not too literate pray to God in their language but I never come across a Christian who prays in pidgin.
Is it wrong to pray in pidgin? Or is it that the most spoken language in Nigeria is not appropriate for communing with Our Maker?......

Sha...maybe cos pidgin is too informal to some or most people and they, should I say they fear God too much that they forget the informal and friendly part of God....although he is our father but all d same he is our padi..so maybe ooh that's why!

for the same reason international diplomatic meetings arent convened in colloquial language. The importance of the person your speaking to inclines you to seriousness .
