whiteshark:
Not true friend, Pidgin english is pure (queen's) english broken down. Even french has it's own form in broken down version so please do not look at it that way. It is something that has come to stay and there is absolutely nothing anyone least of all you can do about it. What we could do though is to curb the use of it in our schools and public offices and places. With that, we can trully sideline it to the natural place that it belongs and thats playing second fiddle but to eradicate it, no yawa my guy, e nor fit happen now of in anoda 100 years to come.

I equally disagree with you whitesharks.
How can you make pidgin a national language and still prevent it being spoken in our schools.
Why doing that when you know it's not acceptable somewhere and will not get international recognition as English or french?
How then do you promote it?
How do our children speak and write it when they are not allowed to be taught?
Knowing fully well they can't use it to write exams and pass or not even be allowed to be taught in school reduced it to dusbin.

I pledge to sustain my friendships and relationship I have in nairaland and post quality messages only, and obeying the rules of the game.

Invitation? has been my hobby, peace? yes as i always do and write more sexy and romantic poems
And to offer financial assistance to nairaland in no distant time

i will just walk in to her and tell her "You're the one I've been waiting for, be my angel and I'll never disappoint.

That's why both of us exist.

looks like poem?

Chinyere, God's gift you are welcome to this forum where all members are Naira family.
Have a great fun.

I've heard about you from that your friend

I dey lie?

Pidgin is a carricature of the original english language so i don't see it as our own invention or making.
It's neither our original tongue.

Before we were colonised we had our own language and dialect and it wasn't this pidgin.
If we had been colonised by France we would have been speaking french.

So because Britain colonised us that was why we are speaking english.

If we believe we don't want to copy anymore let's drop all we copied including democracy, how do you see that?

pidgin to me is degrading and abuse of english.
It's not our original tongue. We only bastardise the one we copy.
just like the Nigerian movie industry copy the americans and changed "hollywood to nollywood"

Please, I look at it in another angle and perspective.

Oh my God?

Latoya are the one here?

Amazing!

Nothing spoil.
I'm always on line and always ready to help.
