Lol get the fvck out of here.
Talking in colloquial and slang is not broken English. And 60% of English? Mainly black British say mandem. White ppl talk a bit more formally.

Why won't white peeps talk formal when they are the ones setting the standard by themselves. Think about it what if it was Black people setting the standard. The Mandem talk would have been Formal. catch my Drift. Anyha Sha stop doing things just because the white says it should be done that way.

10. ABUJA
Based on based ehn, dis na d capital of Naija as all of ona know. The softness wey dey ooze for this coast na highest for the full country. The softness don real attract crowd from different holes come assemble for this arena.. The crowd nor get choice but to settle for pidgin make adagba nor for hang bulb-wire in the long-run.

9. ANAMBRA
Still on still ehn, this state still get small levo unto the pidgin spirit based on say na jur river share am from the capital of Delta state.. dat na wetin white men dey call "clash of culture"..

8. KOGI
O Bob! This state nor suppose sight road enter this list sha.. but still on the clash of culture things, most strong men here dey ball in Edo state steady unto one or two tiings based on say places like Auchi, Okpella etc nor too give Kogi state yard..

7. CROSS RIVER
Calabar people sha.. Their pidgin dey sound like Chinese dat year sha, but some kind Urhobo boys don hustle enter there come give their girls belleh finish.. this belleh-giving nai make new generation calabar children dey tear pidgin like Sapele agbero these days.. Pikin must resemble papa unto one or two tinz na.

6. LAGOS
Ma first hail some kind lost souls for this yard before I fire down.. Men like RMD, Basorge-Tariah, Ali Baba and other staunch wey abandon us go that way.. I jur like let ona know say nor be so o.. Cow wey smart go America go come back as cornbeef one day sha..
Still on still ehn, this state kari-get population from different parts of the country.. But we all know say dia pidgin melting pot dey Ajegunle where Area borku yakata.. Still on the hustle, AJ boys turn musicians o.. all we slangs for Area na dem pack full dia music.....and ona know say music dey kari-spread.. slangs spread so tey market women dey chew dem like gum based on say nor be everybody fit speak Yoruba na.. so d pidgin jur serve as dia lingua franca for dah way.... example of dose slangs wey dem thief na "Who You Help" wey Olamide thief from Shuun Bebe...

5. AKWA-IBOM
No doubt, militants don teach these people pidgin finish based on the oyel tinz.. dem try!


Down to the big four

4. RIVERS
This na one gallant South-South state wey jur gather people from different tribes like Tower of Babel.. Oil industries borku for this state and even omormor know say business must full anywhere oil industries gallant put. These people of different tribes based on say dem nor get unified language come dive pidgin make quarrel for nor too dey sup unto business tidings.

3. BAYELSA
Ijaw full this state nor be small.. Naturally their lingua franca suppose be Ijaw, but based on say d state near Delta anyhow, dem jur gat copy dia elder brother (Delta) main language make e for nor loss..

2. EDO
Oba a to pe'e.. Before 1991, this state dey conjoined with Delta state.. dem regard dem as one den (Bendel).. This state nor be number one for this list based on say some kind villages there near Yoruba states like Ondo and Ekiti.... This kari-near don weaken dia pigin anyhow.. na jur Benin come get level unto the lingua..

1. DELTA
Area!! 12 Kpokos for all the Nairaland Waffarians.. Any Effurun pesin here? Abeg signify make men observe ur kpai number..
Dem nor dey drag seat with Oba o..... The full state gallant for d pidgin level sha.. from Warri/Effurun to Sapele, Ughelli, Abraka, Oghara, Osubi, Asaba, Agbarho etc.. Area! ona too much abeg.. I throw backy give all of ona. Dem say overfamiliarity nai nor dey make man chop house rat..

Nahh... I don't care to know, cos I care about my indigenous language

Then stick to it and stop disturbing us and our choices. Acting all knowledgeable when you know nothing! I have advanced degrees in English Studies yet I appreciate our Nigerian Pidgin. Go to my village, Urhobo is spoken 100% but in more cosmopolitan areas with ethnic diversity, pidgin is a necessity.

If you have nothing meaningful to say, I beckon on you to "face bush, squat and jump away like ogoro".

well I manage just 23 staff not a lot and FYI,I see no colour at work,there is nothing like whites, U keep reminding people in ur post you where born in the Uk and use such words as Nigga of which less than 2% uses in the Uk rather in the US, I see U insult Africans at will, even say they smell etc,,I also note you created your account last year for the sole purpose of throwing insults at will and had incured various ban at that.The vast majority of what you post are Anti African,Im struggling to understand you infactuation with Africans since you chose not to identify yourself with the said race.If u call me a fresher na B say U be agbayah wey nor get shame

Say what you want about me or my degrees, I will forever be more knowledgeable, scholarly and respected within the circle of sane fellows than you can ever dream to be, even if you schooled in the London Evening School for Ijebu Dropouts. I don't put my nose in what doesn't concern me and I don't go around bragging about being in the UK, only to later unveil a deep rooted ignorance that makes your claim to be on British soil as questionable as your sanity.

Get the fvck out of here. I have NEVER bragged about being in the UK. Ur insecurity led you to believe I am. I only brought up the UK when ur friend erico2k2 was trying to tell me about whites.
