1.It was created by Nigerians hence its affinity.

2. You can spot a flaw in queen's English whereas pidgin's flow is impeccable...



That does not mean that we should be overly engrossed in the use of pidgin English.

Reason-some nr wan fall their hand,cos if u listen to some people so called English you will die of laughter....E.g imagine a stud in my school said "I didn't ate the rice".... imagine?

na pidgin not pijin... Na naija made english be that na, na we get am... Ya.

I must appear on fp

It should even be used by lecturers to teach.. Understanding will be easier.. Lol

Too bad, some people even feel intimidated when you speak English to them. They'll say you are 'forming'.
Speak good English! You may make mistakes, but you will improve with time.

As long one can still communicate effectively in standard English........nothing spoil!

What I have observed is dt nt every in d higher institution can express him/herself correctly... So pidgin is d best tin to use a cover up... moreover, Nigerians stl use pidgin even in official ground

Pidjin supposed to be our official language in Nigeria sef, because almost everyone can speak and understand it.
We are the one's that adopt english language anyways.

Because most of them can barely speak proper english and instead of them to endeavour working on their english, they're lazy and go with pidgin as a short-cut.

Sad!

Pidgin na the lingua franca for some West African countries wey dey speak English. Dem be Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone and Liberia. But na Nigeria an Ghana own sweet pass.

Hausa more common

Go to the staff rooms of public secondary schools in the South South, where Pidgin is the lingua franca, it's Pidgin most teachers use in communication.

For some reason, I express myself better speaking in good English. I dislike pidgin because it kills the ability for usage of good English. Some are sweet to the hearing which are- Warri and Benin pidgin.

But

To me, Nothing like good polished English, I listen to your spoken English to determine your level of intelligence, More complex words/terms you know, More intelligent you tend to be.

Pidgin also kills the ability for writing good sentences without using shorthand, And for me, if I get to chat you up as a cute girl and you the type that uses short hand, it kills the vibe for you and you would no longer appeal to me anymore. In the case of a guy, I won't even keep up chat with you unless we talking very important issue.

Pidgin English made by us.

We blend more in it, doesn't mean our spoken English is bad....



Check my signature please...

Warri/Ughelli, Benin, Port Harcourt, Yenagoa and Lokoja, for me, speak the best Pidgin. Theirs is undiluted.

Because students of nowadays are so lazy to learn. Always looking for short cuts.

Exactly. Lazy students. Scared of making mistakes.

Pidgin english is right na and it indicates the struggle of a nigerian to speak english

It is Ekaete's fault for not checking to see if the condom has a hole on it.Badt guy sha.

what is sad about it?, communication is what matters, that's the essence of language, so does speaking pidgin make one inferior or what? in a formal setting use it, anything else na pidgin sure pass, miss grammarian....even the good book tells us the language is defiled.
