Pidgin is not a language. Pidgin is harmful to the indigenous languages. It’s almost like English first, pidgin second while indigenous languages are a distant third. Pidgin is a bastardized something. Let’s restore our indigenous languages to their rightful place. Even if English is first for reasons we cannot help, then indigenous languages should be 2nd.

Well done bro. Despite how good he is with the commentary, some people still prefer those biase white commentators to him just bcs we don't value our own thing.

Those white commentators are really hilarious trust me.

Journey through the just concluded Russia 2018 was really splendid for all - both lovers & non lovers of football. One of the exciting cum thrilling aspect of the FIFA world cup - Russia 2018 is the funny yet entertaining pidgin English commentary served to us by Benjamin Okenna Swadinho.

Benjamin with the alias"Benjy", is a Portharcout based radio sportscaster and supersport pidgin English commentator.

Benjamin posted on his Facebok timeline after the 3rd place game between Belgium and England on Saturday;

"Feeling so emotional right now looking back at how remarkable this journey has been...
So finally its my last game today on the #Russia2018 #PidginCommentary Belgium vs England 3pm
So friends kindly join us once more only on your world of Champions #Supersport#PidginCommentator #WorldCup
GOD NEVER DISAPPOINTS
#AnticipateGreatness #DinhoCares
JEHOVAH #OnumJuruNekele" Benjamin posted in his Facebok timeline after the 3rd place game between Belgium and England on Saturday

Benjamin is also a contemporary gospel musician who recently released a single "God never fails". After the release of his debut single: "Chineyeobioma in 2015.

This man sincerely deserves some accolades!!! Without him, Russia 2018 might have been boring to some viewers!

https://correct.com.ng/banky-w-replies-viral-video-with-an-open-letter-says-it-is-a-2008-range-rover-sport-not-a-1999/

This guy really made my day throughout the world cup and even my wife that doesnt like football,started to enjoy the game.
During Korean match,there are 2-Korean players by name;son and moon...immediately,they passed ball,the guy said moon and son passed the ball in the opponents 18yards,eclipse of the earth is about to happen.....lol

U missed bro.
Even ladies who don't usually like football, were listening and reacting to his commentary even when they are not directing watching the screen.
He uses almost that same language guys use in a viewing centre.
