It is very deep and it is not just a language. It is about identity and believing that is worthy of being known and propagated.

UNIBENDON:

Abeg try make u travel go Edo or Delta state to know wetin dey ground. Who no go no know.

BiafranBushBoy:
pidgin isn't good!

It destroys your proficiency in English. Should be utilized while typing? ... pretty cool

Spoken? should not be used at all unless you've run out of options.

Gracespecial101:

Baba wida no be area slang sha... If you know you know

Caseless:


I trust warri, yenagoa, Benin and 'pataikot' . Everywhere is riddled with pidgin English in that region , but it's more in these places. Even in the highest office, they flow pidgin like it's no man's business.

Amberon11:
Languages are not just preserved by mere wishes. Like I said nothing lasts forever and that is a fact of nature.

How many physics books have been written in Yoruba language? How many chemistry, accounts, geography, mathematics, economics etc books have been written in Yoruba language? If you want to preserve your language and make sure it never gets eroded you must ensure that 99% of the books used in institutions are written and taught in Yoruba language, all media houses propagate news in Yoruba, and that Yoruba becomes the official lingua Franca of the Yoruba people.

Anything other than that is a mere wish.

1Sharon:


Exactly my point. So why don't you lot speak a unifying language like yorubas?

Peterosky:
.Your case is caseless to the point you almost became careless and ceaseless. Wetin ade even type self?

Amberon11:
Isn't Yoruba the unifying language of the yorubas?

At the end of the day all yorubas understand each other but there may be slight differences whereas Niger Delta languages are totally completely different in that an urhobo cannot understand a word of Ijaw and vice versa. So Pidgin is our unifying language.

fratermathy:
Akwa Ibom nor follow at all for this matter. Na only Ibibio and good English dem dey yarn here. Dey nor sabi catapult pidgin at all. Even the small ones wey open eye for the matter sef nor sabi am wella. Their pidgin dey sound like good English mixed with Ibibio.

As for Anambra, na Igbo dey reign for there. Pidgin nor too follow. Na only for Onitsha dem dey speak small pidgin based on Asaba influence and based on say strangers boku for there. So Onitsha nor too follow up. Even Asaba sef, na Waffarians dey spoil that town. Normally, na Igbo dem dey yarn but Waffi boys don change am follow them. Some Asaba people don even get Warri tongue now sef.

For Bayelsa matter ehn, Yenagoa na correct pidgin area. The people wey get the town na Epie/Atissa dem dey speak normally but Izon people and Ogbia people plenty for the cabal so na pidgin naim dem take dey control their matters for there.

Lalasticlala and Seun, how una see this thread na? E nor suppose to loss like that. Make dem reason the matter na.

You're honestly too dull to be urhobo.
It's no wonder you only remember curse words.

Why did you bring Fela into this convo? What's ur point.
It's not just about language. You lot mostly bear English names too.

Beautiful languages but you don't want to speak it
