BBC To Launch Pidgin And Yoruba Service by Nobody: 8:57pm On Nov 23, 2015 |
BBC to launch Pidgin service The BBC has announced it will be launching a digital service in Pidgin and Yoruba in Nigeria, Africa's most populous state. "Pidgin is a popular language among young people in Nigeria and across West Africa," said Liliane Landor, controller of languages at the World Service. The BBC will also launch a TV service in Somali, and radio and digital services for Ethiopia and Eritrea, said BBC Africa editor Solomon Mugera. Details of which languages the BBC will broadcast in to Ethiopia and Eritrea will be announced later. The announcement comes after the UK government agreed to invest around $128m (£85m) a year in enhancing BBC services around the world. www.bbc.com/news/live/world-africa-34885451?live_variant=nonjs Cc lalasticlala seun ishilove obynoscopy 1 Like 1 Share |

mrvitalis:We are talking about languages here. Many of you speaks Hausa and Yoruba better than your language anyway. Right now the pidgin English is much more important than your inconsequential language. 20 Likes 1 Share |

Why is BBC marginalising the heeebos? There is BBC Hausa service, and now we'v got BBC Pidgin and Yoruba. What about BBC Heeebo ? This is marginalisation and discrimination 16 Likes 1 Share |

Did Igbo people collectively fuck you guys and neglect to call all of you back? Because that's how you guys act. On every thread! Lol. It's like an achievement isn't an achievement unless you can somehow link it back to Igbo people. What kind of insecurity? Even with a petty BBC service broadcasting in all kinds of war zones? What a shame. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ezeagu: That is what happens to a cry cry baby. Everybody gets a chance to mock such emotional wailers. They cried about MNET not having an Igbo TV station, while in another breath they claimed that Africa Magic actually shows more of Nollywood movies which they dominate. They cried about BBC having Hausa language station, forgetting that Hausa like Yoruba is an international language not limited to just a tribe in Nigeria, but an international tribe across West Africa. They even claimed the legitimate and civil toned BBC Hausa service is enough justification to have a pirate radio that advocates for national terrorism and anarchy. They are now crying over infrastructural development in the East, while also claiming that the Eastern region is more developed than the North and the West. Do you now understand why emotional cry babies are always mocked with their own duplicitous wailings? It won't be long before they surprise you with cries of this marginalization on this very plan by the BBC. But like the Igbo that you are, you have not surprised us either. BBC is petty now until they have an Igbo language station, right? The same way the Nobel prize in Literature is an irrelevant award as already alluded to by many Igbos here, until an Igbo finally win it, right? Very predictable clansmen. 21 Likes 4 Shares |
