1Sharon: Better go back and read my updated post and after that, read this: Your observation is not the problem. The problem is that you are ignorant about the state of affairs in the Niger Delta, especially as it pertains to the socio-linguistic makeup of the region. Even in your obvious ignorance, you were making careless statements and assumptions including but not limited to: 1. That all the languages spoken in Edo State are dialects of Bini (this is ignorance at its peak. The Edoid language family comprises related languages that are not mutually intelligible whatsoever. Even within a group like Urhobo, we have languages such as Okpe and Uvwie that are not intelligible to other Urhobo speakers). 2. That those who speak pidgin do not speak their indigenous languages intra-ethnically (you cannot substantiate this except you have visited EVERYWHERE in the Niger Delta and have spoken to EVERYONE. In my village alone, Urhobo is spoken by all but in cities such as Warri or conurbations such as Abraka, Ughelli and Sapele, pidgin is commonly spoken ALONGSIDE Urhobo). 3. Assuming that pidgin is not a formal language or a 'proper' language (I faulted you on this and pointed out that pidgin is 100% formal and has attracted academics from all over the world). Above all, you proved incorrigible and are unwilling to take corrections and apologise for your crass ignorance, senile effontry and crude vituperations. UK resident indeed!! Better learn your lesson and face front. Sun too hot nor mean say fowl go lay boiled egg. Hot blood nor dey cook food done. I too know for wetin you nor know na sin for where those wey know dey. 1 Like 1 Share |

erico2k2: You don't see colour indeed. Pls exactly how many times have I stated I was born in the UK? I should lie and say Africans are such good ppl? Pls how exactly does one choose not to identify as African, when that's in my DNA? And you are wrong, I have been on NL since 2011. So don't get it twisted. |

BrownRoofRep:Guy relax, U did not understand that pidgin simple, let me break it down. Speaking pidgin like who mopol stand for E front simply means Forcefully speaking pidgin English, ie its not part of them, they are speaking it just cos they thought you are from the endz where it is spoken fluently, so they want to identify but still its rubish.This what speaking pidgin in front of MOPOL(mobile Police) means.Simple. 1 Like |

erico2k2:I understand your concept but you failed it woefully! This shows you know nothing about Anambra state. Anambra people are by far the most traveled in Nigeria. This means that those people you see speaking pidgin English in Lagos and other places are the same people speaking Igbo at Onitsha. In a nutshell, Anambra people can speak broken well. Most traders that come from middle belt and Niger Delta communicate in pidgin English with them. But, generally, we don't like pidgin English. Isn't this clear enough? 1 Like |

BrownRoofRep:all that craaap you wrote there is what my few lines meant, ordinarily, you won't speak Pidgin amongst yourselves it would be Igbo, but in the presence of strangers, you would speak the bit you know.I graduated from ESUT in Enugu state and served @ 9th mil Ngwo that's 6 years + I lived among the Igbos. their pidgin is by force like who MOPOL point gun face. If I ask you the meaning of Golden sand do you have any clew or what we cal benjamin these r food we ate as students, we used these to scope the igbos arround us then. 1 Like |

Sinistami:the sh for CH thing about the urhobos is true but thats a mispronounced word which is also common with lots of tribes but intonation of the Igbo's for example when they talk is just something else. Anyway, bottom line is, pidgin English should be recognized as such since everyone in Nigeria now love it. |

erico2k2:Who cares about your rubbish and ESUT nonsense? Anambra has minimal pidgin English, unless you are a Hausa or Yoruba (with visible tribal marks), the first language you will receive anywhere in Anambra is Igbo. This does not mean they are not fluent in pidgin English. All other nonsense you wrote is empty rants from someone writing with he has no clue. |

Hey Miss, you need some chill pills, strop trolling already. In the South, pidgin is our Lingua Franca. I see many guys trying to put you through and make you understand, but you are bent on arguing blindly. You just too shallow minded and daft! You know how many foreign girls love me because of my pidgin, you know how South African girls would always want me to teach them pidgin? Hey! I'm pidgin; I'm proudly Naija. Jamaica is popular today because of her distinct form of English called Patois.... Pidgin can also put Nigeria on the map some day. From your comment, I could tell you know nothing about the World and its people. 1Sharon: Hey Miss, you need some chill pills, strop trolling already. In the South, pidgin is our Lingua Franca.
