My 5year old nephew can speak English fluently and at times pidgin when he feels like. I don't see anything wrong in that. He is a Nigerian and that will make him relate well with people anywhere he finds himself.

It’s not the teachers. It’s his friends. I went to a relatively expensive secondary school in Lagos myself and among my peers back then it was considered uncool to speak pure English to your guys. That’s just the way it is.

No doubt, she's almost an idiot. If she pays 1.5 million for her son to speak another man's language, how much will she pay for her son to speak her dialect?

Nonsense.

Unnecessary show off just to get attention.

A child can attend a local school and will surely beat his boy hands down . the only difference is the exposure the son will have over others.

Its always good to compete with oneself , than compete with others .

bush woman!
so pidgin english, which is the next best thing from Nigeria that is colonizing the whole of the African continent, a language which most Africans are giving an arm and a leg to learn; and if we persist, the whole world would soon prefer it to the American english, is what this lady is warning people not to speak to her son?

to make matters worse, this pidgin english owes its popularity across the continent to the Nigerian entertainment Industry, a thing tonto dickeh is part of. it seems she is not even proud of her own trade!

@sonsly041 what do you think?

@blueair, you can also read this before you do the wrong thing by hating your children speak pidgin English. also, would you like to tell your child to speak english exclusively because speaking other languages could affect his english accent?

The problem is not pidgin but knowing when to use it

Except if you train him abroad he must pick it up because it's the way of communication for the common man and it's necessary at times

As an actress who understands media and communication let her explain to him as he grows older when and when it is not appropriate.

I get where she is coming from, at times some wrong habits can rub off on kids and it can be a shock when they suddenly burst it out at home, not really knowing what they are saying.

Believe Tonto at your own peril.
The man presented evidence of school fees payment one time like that.
Tonto is just out for revenge and would say anything to rubbish the father.
She is able to maintain her lifestyle out of the child maintenance she receives.
