1Sharon:don't be deceived, this same delta is the only state u won't hear tribal intonations when its indigins speaks correct English. U can't say same of the likes of hausas, Igbo's or Yorubas. Did you know there was a pidgin English commentary on super sports all through the world cup? Pidgin English Is fast becoming part of our lingual franca here in Nigeria. 4 Likes |

Girl I am from Delta State and you can't know my state more than me. Look up the history of Pidgin and you'll see that it originated as a result of different ethnic groups not being able to understand each other hence needing a unifying language. Delta State is one of the most ethnically diverse states in Nigeria with at least 6 different languages. Do you then expect these people to speak their languages to one another when they obviously wouldn't understand each other? 1Sharon: 1 Like |

KangaIye: You well so? Delta wey get Asaba Igbo, Agbor Igbo, Ndokwa Igbo, Urhobo, Ijaw, Itsekiri, Isoko etc Edo, get Bini, Emai (People from Owan) Afemai & Akoko. All these dialects when you speak am everybody dey understand. You no fit speak Urhobo and Asaba man go understand. Just like Ijebu Yoruba, Ibadan Yoruba, Oyo Yoruba, Lagos Yoruba, Ekiti Yoruba, Od=ndo Yoruba etc. If dem speak, all yorubas dey understand. So which one be Delta own? ![]() |

Amberon11: Girl, you no know nada, because dat no be reason people dey speak am!!! I sure say you be girl wey dem born between 1985-1997 People also know Pidgin English as Broken English. After the craze people from Europe enter Naija through Warri, in the name of Christianity, dem dey speak English to people from Warri reach Benin but the people no sabi speak am back so they come to speak am as dem like, that's why it's broken English. Pidgin English na him people of old dey use to communicate with the English people or Europeans, especially Portuguese wey enter from sea. 1 Like |

Wey e com to pidgin English matta people dey quick tuk sey na warri dey kari first. Dis na haw I si di matta; wey e com to pidgin wey clear and free from slangs na Edo carry first, but for di one wey dem dey speak wit many slangs inside na waffi version top. The waffi version Nor go fit qualify for official 'status' if dem take di language Mata reach dat level, e go always remain on di street. The one wey sure pass na pidgin for Edo. Any pidgin wey go ever get official status na di one wey go dey clear across many people even among people wey nor sabi am well. So make we try si am as e bi , pidgin wit slangs and pidgin wit out slangs. 1 Like |
