Pidgin ain't a proper language mate

1Sharon:


I also know a few ppl from the same ethnic group in delta and they still choose to speak pidgin over their language. So all you all you wrote are excuses and you are being dishonest

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.

justtoodark:


fvck you...am still urhobo....

blackgold90:
Am from delta but the kind pidgin English when River State they speak when Nah bomb

erico2k2:

Go and check very well, the best way to preserve a language is to speak it, what good is it to write down a language and it not spoken

Amberon11:
Girl I am from Delta State and you can't know my state more than me. Look up the history of Pidgin and you'll see that it originated as a result of different ethnic groups not being able to understand each other hence needing a unifying language.

Delta State is one of the most ethnically diverse states in Nigeria with at least 6 different languages. Do you then expect these people to speak their languages to one another when they obviously wouldn't understand each other?

Alezy:
don't be deceived, this same delta is the only state u won't hear tribal intonations when its indigins speaks correct English.

U can't say same of the likes of hausas, Igbo's or Yorubas.

Did you know there was a pidgin English commentary on super sports all through the world cup? Pidgin English Is fast becoming part of our lingual franca here in Nigeria.

Alezy:
their pidgin dey pain ear jor

KangaIye:

You no fit compare Language Wey dey Edo with Dialect Wey full Yoruba.

You well so?
Delta wey get Asaba Igbo, Agbor Igbo, Ndokwa Igbo, Urhobo, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Isoko etc


Edo, get Bini, Emai (People from Owan) Afemai & Akoko. All these dialects when you speak am everybody dey understand. You no fit speak Urhobo and Asaba man go understand.


Just like Ijebu Yoruba, Ibadan Yoruba, Oyo Yoruba, Lagos Yoruba, Ekiti Yoruba, Od=ndo Yoruba etc. If dem speak, all yorubas dey understand.

So which one be Delta own?

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

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.

Adefemiaderoju1:
Thank God say Na only Lagos dey from all the south west state we are proudly Yoruba, we are proud of our language we don't want any foreign language to come dominate our language, culture etc.

UNIBENDON:
Fela na real ofrukpe nigga dat very year because say him sabi yan Pidgin and most of him songs na for Pidgin.

Most of us sabi speak our ancestors language but na within nuclear family and extended family but immediately we dey outside na FULL Pidgin we go dey nak or speak.

Na so we dey also dey answer our indigenous names.

GistFullGround:

johnmattew:
hehe...me wey dey use pidgin brush teeth.....u don hear where Edo man wey school for uniben no sabi yarn pidgin?

Amberon11:
A fake trolling one

1Sharon:



Lies at the bolded.

And what was the reason for Fela speaking pidgin? Wasn't it to get across to other ethnicities? Yorubas hardly speak pidgin to each other. It's odd.

Certain ethnicities want to mock Yorubas but they should be taking notes

i can still mess you up in urhobo.....
