What is Pidgin English?
"How bodi? How you dey?" Or if you "no sabi" (don't understand). Nigerian Pidgin - how are you?
The mongrel language of the world, and a patchwork tongue of trade, migration, empires and historical movement, Pidgin English, in its varying forms is a lingua franca - a simplified bridge language evolving through necessity, after extended contact between groups without a single common language. Formed from numerous languages and influences, Pidgin is a wide term covering a range of regional hybrids, which evolved through historical events such as the spread of Empires, settlement, migration and international trade.

Found in Africa (West African Pidgins include Nigerian Pidgin, Cameroonian Pidgin, Sierra Leone Krio), Indonesia (Tok Pisin, spoken in Papua New Guinea), parts of Asia and the Caribbean, English derived Pidgins are inventive, innovative, and often quite literal. For example in Tok Pisin, 'gras bilong het' (or grass belong head) simply means 'hair'. Taking more of a 'baby-speak' approach, Pidgins can seem to imitate toddler speech or phrasing (having no tones, simple vowels etc) - and in effect are used for the same purpose - to get what you want quickly, using whatever communication and terms of reference you can. A few well placed words and gestures were all that was originally needed, and the language evolved from there.

How Pidgin Languages Evolve Because of their spontaneous adaptability, Pidgins are unlike other languages in that they can be as structured or as unstructured as needed - there are no strict rules as such. Pidgins are also not used as mother tongues, though over time and generations, the language evolves, is adopted and changes to gradually become a first language for new generations. Historically this occurs in situations where native language is seen as subordinate, or banned in the case of slavery, and is the point where Pidgin arguably moves to become a Creole, or a stable, 'nativised' language. Scholarly debate remains however, as to what point a Pidgin language can evolve to become a Creole and replace a native language over the generations. Complicated stuff for such a seemingly simple language set! As an idea of how language evolves, from 'no common language' between English and native groups, to 'Pidgin' languages to 'Creole', the tongue follows four main stages of development

*Restricted - The beginnings of Pidgin, used as a fundamental necessity when contact between language groups (English and native) is limited. *Extended - If contact is more prolonged, Pidgin develops, and may be situationally encouraged to be used between natives themselves (ie natives of differing native tongues), as well as between other language groups.
*Creole - If Pidgin survives, and if inter- native use evolves enough, it can develop into a Creole language to become a next generation mother tongue in place of the native language.

*Standardisation/decreolisation - Increasingly standardised and structured, over time, the Creole becomes more rigid, developing into a standard, stabilised language (And very different from the original loose Pidgin structures!)

Pidgin English Today Adaptable and tenacious, nowadays, Pidgin English is still in extensive use and is well-recognised around the globe, especially in parts of West Africa and Oceania. In 2012 for example, for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, Prince Charles visited Papua New Guinea, introducing himself as the " Numbawan pikinini bilong Misis Kwin", (or 'number one child belonging to Mrs Queen') proving the resilience and longevity which Pidgin (despite it's modest roots) can have - if royalty can speak it, that's pretty high praise!

As Mr Op,I specially dedicate this space to.. Introvert and Freemann

Call him a playwright, lawyer, author or activist
and you will not be wrong. Chief Fred
Agbeyegbe, who turns 80 years on Wednesday is
many things to many people depending on the
angle you are viewing him from. In this engaging
interview, he speaks on the state of the nation,
his experience in the last eight decades, how to
check graft and the way forward for the country.
By Japhet Alakam & Gbenga Oke
AT 80, how do you feel?
I thank God for keeping me this long and I owe
him all the gratitude.


Activities have been planned for your birthday
celebration, what can you say about that?
I was given an award by the National Association
of Theatre Practitioners, NANTAP. The award
was called the Grand Living Legend of Nigerian
theatre. They said they were tired of waiting for
people to die before they celebrate them. So,
they wanted to change the tide by giving me the
award. Some of them have said to me that it is
their prophecy that is taking place now that I am
going to make 80. Let us celebrate people while
they are alive so I am happy to be one of the
pioneer celebrities for this new philosophy in
Nigeria.


You are a playwright, lawyer, activist and so on.
How exactly can we describe you?
I don’t know. So many times people ask me what
I do. I, too, am confused as to what to tell them
but there are people who know me in certain
regards. For example, not so long ago I got into
a waiting room where people were arguing about
who Fred Agbeyegbe is and I sat down and
joined them. They didn’t know me, a lot of
people don’t know me but they know my name.
In fact when some are talking to people about
the Agbeyegbe family, they say they know one of
them and they mention my name even in my
presence because they don’t know me
personally. Some described me as a journalist,
some have described me as a civil defence
person, some have described me as a lawyer and
some as a business man. Whatever they call me,
provided they don’t call me a thief there is no
problem.


Do you think the judiciary is leaving up to
expectations?

When I came back from England 45 years ago,
things were not like this. I think that the mistake
started from 1999. It is from 1999 that things
became even more rotten.
Corruption in Nigeria is not by accident. Even the
1999 constitution that we are operating today is
a corrupt document. To start with, it is a lie that
Nigerians made a constitution for themselves. It
never happened. The contents of that
constitution cannot be something that a willing
people would impose upon themselves.

Root cause of corruption


Therefore, all attempts at stopping corruption
might even be a waste of time until you tackle
the root cause of corruption. I am Itsekiri, I have
never heard the word ‘corruption’ in my
language. Is corruption a Nigerian word? No!
Corruption is an English word.
Those things that make it impossible for Nigeria
to progress are what I call corruption.
Having said all these, are you trying to say
Nigeria was built on falsehood?
I have written poems and several articles on it.
One of the books is called Budisco. It was a play
that was commissioned by the Nigerian Bar
Association when they celebrated 100 years of
law practice in Nigeria. I was the one they
picked to do something to celebrate that period.
Buhari, Idiagbon and Sowemimo, that is what
Budisco means. It also means something vulgar
in Yoruba language. Who is the President today?
The same Buhari. So what explanations are you
looking for? A people get a government that they
deserve. Nigerians are getting what they deserve
because when it is happening to you, the other
person says it is not happening to me, by the
time it comes to happen to you, all the people
who could have stood behind you will be gone.
n 2011, my movement came out to say Nigeria
was a failed state, those who thought they can
patch it and repair it, by the time the Americans
said 2015 is going to be a terrible year, they
started calling them names. Thank God,
Jonathan saved all of them. If Jonathan had
stood up and said that election was rigged
against him this country would have been in
flames.
On NADECO
We live under this illusion that we are operating
a democracy. And the way this country is
organized is that when any issue comes up, Igbo
man, Yoruba man, the Ijaw and Itshekiri, and
other groups would have different
interpretations.


This country is organized such that there will
never be consensus. For example , I am an
Itsekiri man and my neighbours are Urhobo and
Ijaw, but these ethnic groups hardly live in
harmony. NADECO fought against the trampling
of the right of Nigerians.
So we did not come out in NADECO to show that
we are brave, we came out to fight against the
military because we felt they forced themselves
on us. NADECO can function now because it was
put together for a purpose.
How will you rate this administration putting in
mind some of the decisions that has been taken
so far?


From what I have told you, you don’t expect me
to be a pro-Buhari person. But I am neither anti-
Buhari. Like I said earlier, he was the people’s
choice and they voted for him. Whether I voted
for him or not does not stop him from being our
President and he also said it that he is the
President of everybody and that is how it ought
to be.


But I can say that is it too early to judge him, it
was the same type of judgement that Jonathan
got. From day one, even before he won the last
elections, he was told not to contest. Some said
they will make the country ungovernable for him.
And he dared to contest and he dared to win.
And what happened to him, they made the place
ungovernable for him and behold it is the same
people who came back to judge him on
performance after they had told him they will
make it impossible for him to govern. That was
what they did. So the guy had no opportunity.

Achieving change


I say the same thing about Buhari, give him a
chance. I called him a magician and the media
also called him a magician. People think he will
just come and change things overnight, he is no
longer a military man. We cannot achieve change
in two months.
He has been criticized for the appointments he
has made so far. I laughed because a lot of
people do not understand the politics of this
country. All the people he has appointed so far
are all Northerners from his area of this country,
I don’t know if the guy has a choice because
psychologically, he cannot feel comfortable with
anybody else.


He doesn’t know what people are going to do to
him if he comes to Warri to pick me. But I will
tell Nigerians to wait, if he then continues in that
line of appointment then you can begin to blame
him.
Do you think the proposed merging of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission,
EFCC, and Independent Corrupt Practices and
other relataed Commission, ICPC, will strengthen
the fight against corruption?


When I heard that President Buhari is trimming
down the number of ministries from 40 to 19, I
concluded that the man is truly a magician. The
ministries are one of the ways we fritter away
this country’s resources.
Why do you need over 40 ministries? Is it that
the work load is so much such that a few people
cannot do it? Is that what government business
is all about? Thank God somebody has come and
has seen reasons to reduce them.

Prosecution of governors


The EFCC and ICPC, were they actually meant to
work? How many governors have they
prosecuted? Is it that there are no more corrupt
governors? What has ICPC done? What examples
have any of those two entities given to us? This
is a situation whereby the institutions are used
to serve the whims and caprices of individuals.
What do you then think needs to be done to
move this nation forward?


There are many issues that divide us in Nigeria.
And it is my hope that those issues will
disappear for things to get better.
Our beliefs are not the same in every aspect.
Sadly, religion has become a divisive tool.
You remember at a time, I lost a cousin to
assassins. He was Captain Jerry Agbeyegbe, how
can you convince me that Nigeria is not a place
where people are killed any how? You may
convince some other people but not me. Also,
the one document that is supposed to bring all
of us together called the constitution is itself a
lie. Any document that tells a lie against itself is
forgery. The 1999 constitution is not our
constitution. We had no agreement on it.
Having criticised democracy as being practised
in Nigeria, what form of government will you
recommend to make the country work?
To make democracy work, we need to have a
redefinition of the content of that word
‘democracy.’ I recently wrote an article that the
Europeans came here last time and certified our
last elections saying democracy is now thriving
in Nigeria.

Meaning of democracy


What did they know and what did they see? I
lived and worked in England for so many years, I
know the meaning of democracy as an English
word and I know the meaning of democracy as a
Nigerian word.
The only thing Nigeria accepts about the word
democracy is that the majority must have its
way. They don’t even buy the other half of that
same statement which says the minority must
have its say.


So those things God has given me as of rights as
an Itsekiri man in Warri, democracy makes it
easy for somebody to come from the desert in
Sokoto to teach me how to swim in Warri river
where God has put me. The time Mandela
started fighting their oppressors and they
eventually got to where they got now, did they
change the definition of democracy?

Imagine a future where electric vehicles are
the norm. Drivers are returning home, parking
in their garages and their cars recharge
wirelessly overnight – thanks to a panel
located on the garage floor hooked up to the
home electrical system.
This could be the future as Hyundai-Kia
America Technical Center (HATCI) and Mojo
Mobility, a wireless power company, have
been funded by the U.S. Department of
Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy (EERE), Vehicle
Technologies (VT) program to develop such
technology.


HATCI and Mojo Mobility developed,
implemented and will demonstrate the
wireless power transfer system on a test fleet
of 2015 Kia Soul EV over three phases.
Phase One saw the power system operate
with 85 percent grid-to-vehicle energy
efficiency, capable of transferring in excess of
10 kW to the vehicle while charging. The
system allows for misalignment between the
energy transmitter on the ground and the
energy receiver on the vehicle, for ease of
use.

Phase Two testing saw 92 percent energy
efficiency after integrating a compact system
optimized for the Soul EV.
That much improvement in efficiency could be
game changing.


Inductive charging is known for low energy
efficiency, waste heat, slow charging times
and expensive price tags. But at 92 percent
energy efficiency, this new system blows the
Magne Charge inductive charging system out
of the water, which tops out at 86 percent
energy efficiency (6.6 kW delivery from a 7.68
kW power draw).


Real-world performance data will be gathered
in the third and final phase of the project
using five Kia Soul EVs and corresponding
energy transmission units. The final phase will
test the system’s durability, interoperability,
safety and performance.
Testing facilities are located at HATCI
in Superior Twp., Michigan and Mojo Mobility
in Santa Clara, California.


KMA and Mojo Mobility have not yet
announced when the system will be available
for purchase.

Where there is conflict is because of false
assertions, fabrications, exaggerations,
personalized interpretations of alleged writers,
historians, scholars, and individuals.
Because you never met anyone who knew what was the whole Bible.
Christians, themselves, have 700 different
denominations and there are approximately
thirty-nine different versions of the Bible with
different books, different verses, different
amounts of verses and different amount of
chapters and they don’t even agree to that.
If you read the scriptures carefully without your interpretation or someone else’s interpretation or someoneelse’s fabrication, you will find that this is their simple message.
Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jacob, Solomon,
Ishmael, Isaac, Jesus and Muhammad, may the
peace and blessings of God be upon all of them.
All of these men came with the exact same
message from the same God. They said one
thing—the same thing: worship God. Obey God,
and fulfill your purpose in life, do good actions,
and you will be rewarded with another life.
Don’t make it more than that. That is all they
said, regardless of what language, what time,
and who they came to.
All the prophets and messengers came
with the same message: to obey the Almighty
God and be sincere towards Him. If we examine
the message of each of the well-known
prophets, we can easily conclude this fact.

Apart from the documented 444 murdered
victims, hundreds of wounded persons and
thousands newly displaced, all from a
surprising fresh onslaught by Boko Haram on
scores of communities and towns in at least six
northern states of Nigeria, the questions on the
lips of Nigerians monitoring the carnage would
all meet at some point. Was the inaugural
speech of President Muhammadu Buhari on May
29, 2015 in which he promised to stamp out
Boko Haram shortly, just a brilliant prose with no
work plan for execution?


Was his diatribe on the terrorists and his
renewed pledge to route the insurgents mere
bravado; a politically-right outing to woo
everyone as the messiah, while knowing deep
inside him he had no such capability?


Many of the residents who may have been
inspired by the president’s speech to return to
the war ravaged village of the North-East,
especially in Borno State, only to narrowly
escape renewed violence may be wondering if
Buhari spoke in good faith.


But those who still have faith in the president
are wont to argue that it is too early to expect
the man to wipe out a six-year-old orgy of
murder in less than two months. They are likely
also going to argue that those in opposition to
the ruling APC are using the tragedy for political
advantage. Ironically, it was the inability of the
last government to cage Boko Haram that helped
to swing winning votes in favour of the former,
the opposition APC.


Meanwhile, there is no running from the fact that
eradicating Boko Haram within the days that
Buhari has been in power would be too ambitious
a project in scope and content given what the
President met on ground.
The most worrying factor, however, is that
instead of ebbing, the deaths and destruction
caused by Boko Haram seem to be galloping
compared to the pre-May 29 era.


This is despite the moving of the military
command to Maiduguri, Borno State capital and
epicentre of the violence which has so far
claimed estimated 100,000 lives since the move
by Boko Haram to declare Nigeria an Islamic
Caliphate started in 2009..

But, Boko Haram is not only the group causing
blood and tears to flow, even though many
thought the situation ought not to get worse,
given the hope Buhari inspired in the suffering
communities, especially in the Middle Belt, when
he came on board.
From Benue to Nasarawa, Plateau and Kaduna,
the tales of night marauders stalking sleeping
communities and killing defenceless citizens
remain a daily occurrence.


Senator Danjuma La’ah, representing Southern
Kaduna at the Senate, penultimate week,
addressed a press conference in Kafanchan, 180
km south of Kaduna metropolis, to register his
displeasure with the state of security in his zone.
La’ah, the only senator on the platform of the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, from
the North-North-West Zone, said: “After several
days of silence from the government of Kaduna
State over the most recent killings of law abiding
natives of Southern Kaduna, I have decided to
make public my resentment over the
development.


“On the 5th June, 2015, Ayagan village in Bajju
Chiefdom in Zangon Kataf Local Government
Area of Kaduna State was invaded by well armed
men. Four people were killed and several others
injured when the invaders fired into a crowd of
mourners, unprovoked.


“Till date, no culprit has been caught, nor has the
state government made any announcement in its
effort, if any, at apprehending the killers.
“On the 11th June, 2015, one Tanko Nyam, 45,
of Kyari Daddu village in Jaba, LGA, was
ambushed by yet another set of gunmen and
killed leaving behind his wife and five kids.
“Then on the 17th of June, 2015, gunmen
attacked the village of Katsak, Atakad Chiefdom,
Kaura LGA, leaving behind nine dead bodies
and 13 persons critically injured as early as
8am.


“This government was brought to power by a
legitimate election from the electorate who are
expecting a dramatic improvement on their
security and general well-being. While, I
acknowledge the fact that the government is
still young on the seat, it cannot claim ignorance
or destitute of ideas on what to do in
circumstances like this”.
