[quote author=Ovokoo post=54369710][/quote] Clearly u don't live in Lagos. You spend just 1yr & u start understanding Yoruba. All d other ethnic groups dt live there understand Yoruba very well. How do u think dt happened?? Pidgin is not prevalent in Lagos. Pple speak Yoruba or proper English. Just go to any market or hotspot or take a cab & test d theory. 6 Likes |

janellemonae:This is not accurate. Granted that there are Non Yorubas who speak Yoruba in Lagos, there are also millions of others who no nothing other than Owa, Bawoni, Ekaro, odabo etc. Most people who speak Yoruba in Lagos are Yoruba people. 6 Likes |

Ovokoo:that is what you think, you need to go to lokoja and see how eloquent they are in speaking pidgin more eloquent than most of these cities named here, if there are diverse tribes in a place than pidgin is practically used to comm, then lokoja is a perfect example 2 Likes |

Afam4eva:Not true about Uyo.... The fact is that the three major tribes in Akwa Ibom have languages that are interwoven..Therefore, what an Ibibio man speaks an Annang man and Oron/Eket man will understand. The circle goes on and on. With this fact, it is obvious that the people of Uyo do not find it difficult to communicate amongst themselves, hence the reason why pidgin english is not widely spoken. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Lagos should be number 1 on that list followed by Abuja, then Warri, Port Harcourt, Benin and Asaba In that other. |

Biggcake:If you call them tribes, i won't argue with you. But they seem like dialects of the same language to me so Uyo cannot be termed cosmopolitan. |

Afam4eva:I'm not saying pidgin doesn't exist. I'm saying it's not prevalent. It's not like warri or ph or Benin where u use it for transportation, in markets, and where young & old speak it as their go to language when talking tsomeone else. It isn't. 4 Likes |

janellemonae:There are more pidgin English speakers in Lagos than Warri, Benin and Port-hacourt put together. The only difference is that pidgin is not the only language of choice. There are millions who speak only English and those that speak only Yoruba, Yoruba and pidgin or English ad Yoruba. There also those who speak Igbo, Igbo and pidgin or Igbo and pidgin. let's not forget those that speak hausa and other languages. The competition is just fiercer for languages than in places like Port-hacourt, Warri and co. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Afam4eva: It's not abt competition, it's about prevalence. When u move somewhere u tend to pick up on d prevalent language spoken there. I know someone dt moved to warri & after a while started speaking pidgin (sthn he never spoke before) because it was widely spoken around him & was prevalent wt everyone. Same thing happens wt pple dt move to Lagos, they pick up Yoruba because it's prevalent. I've never seen anyone move to Lagos & picked up speaking pidgin. 4 Likes |
