Duuuhh!! I'm used what I'm used to and you're used to yours.The only problem I have with Nigerians is that they think they're pidgin is the best.And other countries in Africa who do speak pidgin don't speak it like them.The actual Cameroon pidgin is called Mboko.This is the one that nobody except Cameroonians can speak.I can speak Nigerian pidgin but no Nigerian will be able to speak or understand the mboko that I can speak.Nigerian pidgin is very easy to understand once you watch it on video but Cameroon pidgin isn't.You need to come to Cameroon to learn the pidgin before you can speak it 1 Like |

OceanmorganTrix:Why are u saying it like pidgin English originated from Nigeria? It didn't. The truth is Nigerians speak what is called broken English while the one Cameroonians speak is more like a krio maybe that's why it's sounds like a different language. Cameroon pidgin is made up of a mixture of different languages. A lot of Cameroonians will be able to understand Nigerian pidgin but most Nigerians will not be able to understand Cameroon pidgin.Cameroonians formed their own pidgin while that of Nigerians was taught by the British. |
