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!

others countries like it and want to learn it...Cameroon...Ghana...Sierra Leone and Liberia dey claim say na dem get pidgin

pidgin is sweet mehn, i didn't knw much about it back then, buh when i went to live in warru for some months. My pidgin english was great. My people in ibadan had to caution me at some point about it

Even in offices and workplaces.

I think we are beginning to cut out our identities.

Bye to imperialism

Thats because Nigerians like short cuts.

English is a Latin pidgin of German

wen even the lecturers re finding it difficult to communicate in English,wat then do u expect from the students?
it also boils down to the fallen standard of education in Nigeria.

englisg is our mother tongue it will be better if dey pass a bill dat higher institution should be speaking pidgin..even chinese dey do speak their language both in school and movies

OrlandoOwoh:
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.

Ghana pidgin English no be here oo

Nothing wrong with pidgin; it is our own adaptation of the English Language. You connect with all classes of people in pidgin. Jamaicans have their peculiar brand; so also USA, Liberia, etc. it doesn't mean that you should not learn to speak Queen's English. Former President Babangida is one of the most fluent English speaking presidents we've ever had, but he is very much at home in pidgin.

It's "pidgin" @ OP.

To the question, I'd say that we tend to "connect" more with folks that way than through standard English. However, I would advise those students at school who are yet to perfect their English to desist from pidgin for now and focus on English. My 2 cents.

Pigin dey easy to learn n he allow easy communication. All d country all lova d world get dem own pigin. Gonna, wanna no be English. Jamaica pigin worse pass awa own but I dey understand am n I fit speak am small wen I take awa pigin mix am. My jamaican chicks dey ask weda we dey speak dsame pigin

Pidgin English is spoken at Cambridge University as well.

Pidgin na our own home made language. Communication dey flow wella with pidgin dan english sef. If no be nigeria with her high taste for foreign made things i for recommend pidgin to be our official language

It is a language that should be study in our institutions

That's not true! I know a lot of people who have a great command of English, but will however default to pidgin when in their comfort zone. I enjoy a conversation in pidgin myself.

My Google services -- Search especially is in pidgin.

If you don't speak pidgin, you have zero rep!
