Yes I noticed this from a Benin friend although he's parents are from Warri. he was born and raised in Benin. when he came to Yenagoa I noticed him getting lost in our pidgin slangs so I told him "you de looseguard how u no go know wetin Ofurukpe be? you weh na Pure Benin man no bi dia bi center for pidgin?" and then he said Benin all this slangs no de we na pure pidgin we de speak. and I was wondering how is it pure pidgin. lol at dat Slang Skul me in Yenagoa we say Learn me lol although it's sort of a blunder we still say it. but I think if pidgin is standardized Baffi would be the standard one. but sometimes slangwords do turn standard too. To me the places were pidgin is spoken as a first Language speaks it correctly that is the Core Nigerdelta which is Delta Bayelsa and Rivers and although they have much slangs Edo is just right in the middle in the perfect balance of not having much Tribal junk and not having much slang junk either.

I have heard many pidgin english in nigeria i notice difference in them especially niger delta thier pidgin english is of balance lacks grammer and construction it full of slangs and tribal words
Here are d diff btw an edo pidgin and others
Americans: o boy
Rivers: o men,
Yorubas: omo
Edos boy
Ibos: una men...
And so others edo pidgin is still not perfect but to
The others i have heard it is ....

Some pple dont know that pidgin can be corrected speaking enough pidgin slangs or speaking a bristish english grammer does not guarantee you speak a good english or pidgin
As for me if pidgin english is to be official it should be edo any tribe can adopt to it within a short period of time its easily understandable to the rest .....
I don't know for the baffi if its more suitable than the edos then we should consider it official then

Aboy Edo pidgin is Baffi that's what I meant. Baffi is the name of dialect of pidgin spoken in Benin Edo. Warri's own is called Waffi Sapele's own is called Saffy. Yenagoa's own is called Yeniz.
I don't still understand why you listed America there

I am not endorsing cultism, since it is for educational purpose here is my little help.

"who goes?

Na me Norwich (state his real name), vikantical Aro Mighty One a rugged sailor or you can use the rugged son of Odin, one time Eastman, one time Pilot, current StrikeChief, zone 10.10.80 Marin patrol, currently sailing ABC onboard Santa Golgotha marine patrol (or any university deck) as Arch man .

ABC means he is still in school and a cultist and there is nothing like quarter master either you meant Sailing Skipper or Duffman (position 3 and 4) arch man is position 2 after Executioner. Since your character is not a student, use... Current Arch man Santa Golgotha towndeck.

What this means is that he is number 6 in Zone 10 marine and number 2 in Santa Golgotha town deck. That is he is sailing onboard two ships. It is allowed.

...............

There is nothing like member Intel 5.5, if Intel 5.5 is a specialized group or strike group within a deck use Cartel instead..

Something like ...norwich dim, vikantical Aro Smoking Viper, (or any name you can think of), onboard... Marin patrol, Intel 5.5 cartel
....... ..
The above are basic, an experienced cultist will add more ID to show how OT rugged he is. They sing their praises.

Wow you went a bit deeper than I expected but it’s all good. It’s very educative and yes. I made a lot stuff up, because I don’t want an innocent wanna be to start capping and become victim of impersonation. I expected you to use the-same words but in pidgin. My pidgin is Lagos pidgin.

“Na you na who?”

Instanta, I echoed “ Na me, Na me .... but yeah I noticed concerting stuff from pidgin to English and vice versa isn’t that easy.

Thanks a lot I enjoy reading your post. I learnt something new like ’Form Stunch: Act tough’ among others.

The funny thing in Sierra Leone, creole which is their own version of pidgin is taught in school. But here we are someone is claiming that pidgin is killing our local language how.

What is the meaning of akpikor

Ologbo147:

NO 14- Okada. It entered into the pidgin lexicon to mean the motorcycle. It is the name of a Bini town in Edo state. An indigene of that town founded the first private airline in Nigeria. The airline was seen as swift, the motorcycle came in around the same tiwhime, those who could not afford the ticket to travel started attributing the name of the airline to their substitute and alternative which is also swift on land and with the ability to manuevre between hold ups and go slow. Then the name stuck. That is how it came to be known as okada in the greater part of Nigeria
