is this the link to know if BBC uses Jamaican patois? You think BBC news (if in Jamaica) will use Nigerian pidgin to read news in Jamaica?

BBC news operates in over thirty languages. Patois is most likely one, there is even a patois Bible, that is how far they have gone.

Patois and Jamaica make dem park well notin be my parole with dreadlock and coconut specialist pple....you are ever headstrong

see all this Una buga no de taya una. for me Bini people and Delta people de sound desame thing for my ear. so I don't knw where all this "Warri no get tribal Intonations" is coming from when when a Warri person speaks you'd still hear Urhobo intonations all over even if the person is Ijaw or Itshekiri. To me places you would not hear Intonations are in Port Harcourt city lagos Abuja and Yenagoa forget all the Bayelsa is only Ijaw Shit. There are 11 languages spoken in Bayelsa all mutually unintelligible in Yenagoa alone is spoken 5 languages Epie, Izon, Engenne,Okodia,Buseni. plus migrant other Bayelsa languages like Isoko Urhobo Nembe and Ogbia. and one thing that balance's it out is that No language is Superior to the other in Number of Speakers in Yenagoa Only Pidgin hence no Tribal intonations unlike Waffi where Urhobo is dominating.

So, u are trying to say that portharcourt, Bayelsa pidgin is more superior to the Almighty waffi and probably Sapele pidgin?? Is this a joke or wat, even uvwe, kokori, ubiaroko, speaks more rugged pidgin than portharcourt and Bayelsa combined...

lolz. grin grin cheesy e be like say you be Bini guy.

By logic no homogeneous place can claim mastery of pidgin English. Benin city is 99% Bini people with one language. So why would they suffer themselves to speak a foreign language amongst themselves? The influx of foreign students into Uniben, Ekpoma, Auchi Poly brought pidgin there plus as the former capital of Bendel state comprising today's Delta State.



Why Warri thrive in pidgin is because of the different tribes which needed to find a common language to interact with Europeans in the 16/17th century.

Benin City is a mix of different Edo ethnic groups like the Bini, Esan, Estako and Owan. Bini is the major ethnic group, but there are also Esan, Esatko and other Edo speaking people. All the Edo people speak a different dialect so they communicate in pidgin, because Edo's don't all speak the same dialect. These are all similarly related ethnic groups but speaking different dialect. And the different dialects are very different from each other, so you have to communicate in pidgin.

Ofurukpe means those insects that fly into flames and bulbs trying to put them out in urhobo/isoko, so, you can say it interpretes as some little insect of a guy trying to put out our flame/fun/joy depending on the context, most importantly they end up getting burnt without anyone's assistance so its a subtle shade

That's deep cheesy

Ah nor fit yarn am, so ah gats put, ah gats express am through music you understand
About my guy Okiemute



Okiemute say like this he wan go join HK
For Accra nothing dey him hand only 10k
Eribaba believe me ah nor be JK
Before ah waka we fit gather smoke your SK
As we dey smoke ah tell am say na Akanuche

He say Erigga lock up, who I wan follow pench
Na my real guy beside, ah dey expect one cash
On he way to Lagos he receive alert
Family land na he sell the boi too get heart
Enter Accra, he guys dey hail am Bossu
He nor dey hustle every night steady bottle
If dem wan cook for house nai him dey go withdraw
Small small big Man for Accra don poor
Nobody tell am around 10 o’clock for night
Dem send am message lock gate, fling him things outside



Habeg!!!
According to brother Shaggy
Oyibo talk say, patience na virtue is okay thank you
The same kpo wey we smoke write better music
Some other artiste smoke am wetin dem sing stupid
Are you feeling me? Or should I repeat
No be everybody be your man inside this street
Boiz don fall person because of yeye pick up
For my present police throw am for pick up
Okiemute come area we ask am wetin sup
For like 2 days ah swear my guy no gree talk
Only to hear say he say where dem carry am go
Dem give am knife shook mirror but nah him mama show
He say he nor fit use him mama na him make am discharge
Say around 10 o’clock for night he enter road come Lag
Forgetting say everything wey dey happen for Accra, area don hear the real gist ah wan laugh belle scatter



Because E work for Mr A like that
No mean say E go work ki for Mr B like that
Because your friend travel go Ghana en make him money
You think say if you travel you go make am too
Use your sense waka no be leg
The hustle wey we dey so na God abeg
If not for the Streets, boiz for dey beg
Na only God fit to change leggedis to Benz





Note: this song is dedicated to all the Great men out there and also through all this inspiration some of us are living gracefully now


Work and pray.
