I keep reading in different threads that warri pidgin is unique to the rest of nigerias pidgin, how is that so? and is there anyone here who can speak warri pidgin and can write it here and contrast sentences in warri pidgin and standard pidgin I would appreciate it, thanks

IMO,Warri is both the king and father of pidgin language.Theirs is unique because they come up with funny and ridiculous slangs each day unlike other places,permit me to add that other towns sometimes wait for Warfians to coin out new slangs so they'd borrow and use.

English;Mind your business.
Lagos:Face front jor.
Warri:Cane your line

Lol so I guess the difference is that warri set the standard lol (jk) tongue

@OP but yeah Naija people usually tell me how unique warri pidgin is and sometimes they don’t even understand warris own after telling them I’m Deltan...and they’re like "oh so u yarn wafi’s own?"...and I’m like lipsrsealed lol not even sapele.

Warri: Cane your line

To me warri pidgin isn't qs hard as others say it is. To me the only thing great about it is the Accent and some of their slangs Iam from yenagoa and there is nothing a warri person will say that a yenagoa person won't understand.

I don't think the question I'm asking is silly.I'm a Cameroonian but I think I can really understand warri pidgin.But I dare not speak mine cause if I do, everyone here will get confused trying to understand what I just wrote.

1. You can ask all those girls in the Hood who I am, but anytime Njaka (Babe) sees Me with other ladies in my corridor early in the morning she respects.

2. You are nobody in the ghetto, it's only your family that are well recognised.

3. Tell the principal to leave that girl so she can return back , am watching what's going on.
