Hello everybody!! It's me again and welcome to the Naija pidgin lounge, a thread where you can ask any question about Naija pidgin, you know it's history, meaning of words and slang you don't know, It's variants and Dialects, it's Native speakers etc, and I or someone else who is Knowledgeable enough will answer. Well first Naija pidgin is a is a Creole and pidgin language based on Victorian English as its Superstate with Nigerian Native languages as its Substrates. It is said to have emerged from the Niger delta in the 16th Century because of the trade between the Nigerdeltans and the White British people, although it seems this isn't the only factors that brought about to pidgin I have my own theory of how it came about. just ask and it shall be given. Anyway this thread is directed to mostly Nigerian people who grew up in the diaspora and foreigners who are in nairaland who finds it interesting and just for pure lovers of pidgin like me.
