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.


when should you not speak pidgin English, especially in the house?

It depends on the family background. It sounds vulgar to some people so they may find it inappropriate for somebody to speak it at home.

Or are you asking me when it's not okay to use it? I think you should know already that it's not always appropriate

Even speaking Queen's English in the wrong situation can land you in deep mmiri oku so as I said, pidgin is not the problem here.

sounds vulgar, but the American southern accent sounds cool. if the boy were speaking American Southern accent with its poor grammar, Tonto would give him kudos.

honestly, when you come among a lot of these celebrities people in positions of Power, you will find out that you inapire them alot. they also look up to you

This woman is highly insecure. Speaking multiple languages increases your exposure and ability to make friends or close ties.

The truth is this tonto girl don't have sense. How can you say your son should not learn to speak one of the major language in this continent that bridge tribes and nations together. Do you think she have sense or she's trying to show off? This is a woman that feeds from such language. I blame your mama wey nor give you good home training.

As long as he is schooling in Nigeria, don't be surprised because you heard him speaking pidgin

Xisnin:

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.
can you provide evidence to back this up?

Lol

One thing people have to understand is that if you pay N2m as school fees and the teachers are paid N80k, then be rest assured that your child is being given education worth N80k and not N2m

Please be guided.

This is apt

I can't stop marveling at this girl's stupidity.
To start with, she's an ikwerre girl. These are people who even started the pidgin English.
They chew broken English like kolanut.

I'm not against the child getting a decent education.
Pidgin english is sonething an adult picks along the way and its actually a plus as a socializing mechanism in the Nigerian front.

Nigeria will remain a shìt hole until we understand that pidgin doesn't mean poverty or illiteracy. Lectures in pidgin should be promoted. English is not a measure of IQ. A language is just a means to an end

Let's evolve in this country, abeg. Begin by establishing pidgin in your organization, then watch productivity skyrocket. Pidgin is the only language that seamlessly connects this nation
