erico2k2:Actually, what you wrote does not make sense. Igbo is the main language, they only speak pidgin English to Abokis and perceived not Igbos. Pidgin no be my thing, I no like that language wey some of my country people dey speak. |

Alezy: I didn't say everybody in Bayelsa though not the rural area just Yenagoa and you know Portharcourt people has the cleanest English Delta also has some intonations they all seem to have that Urhobo accent even if they not from the tribe or speak it. Maybe it's because you're from there and you've been hearing your fellow deltans speak for long so it's sstarting to feel normal. listen when they pronounce Sh and Ch sounds like Chop they pronounce it as Shop. that's Delta accent even Bayelsans too share that Shosh for church accent too. Most Bayelsans in the Southern most places where they speak Izon and Nembe you'd hear them saying SOS for Church. But for New born Yenagoans it's not like that although they sometimes say Jejus for Jesus but it's just a few people the ones that stays near or are Epie Attisa speakers. But really I tell you the Yenagoans who speak pidgin as a first language don't really have tribal intonations like me. 1 Like |

1Sharon: Stop to dey misyarn before Okere juju flog you there. Nigerian Pidgin is regarded by linguists as a variety of West African Pidgin Englishes! Infact, in the Sapele-Warri axis, Pidgin is undergoing creolisation. There are dedicated scholars of Nigerian Pidgin, notable among them is Professor Egbokhare of UI. There are even groups devoted to the documentation and standardisation of the orthography and linguistics of Nigerian Pidgin. Do you even know there is a dictionary of Nigerian Pidgin? I bet you don't know there are many books, including literary works, published in Pidgin? How would you know? You just carry phone dey observe opata like lizard wey neck dey pain. Better go and educate yourself. Keep forming good English with your ignorance. 3 Likes 1 Share |

BiafranBushBoy: I beg to differ. If you can speak English, you can speak English. It doesn't matter if you speak pidgin frequently or not, except you are struggling with your spoken english already. It is like saying speaking creole or patua will spoil your English. Black Americans that murder the English language, is it pidgin that affected them? Once again, I reiterate, if you know how to speak English, you know how to speak English. 2 Likes |

1Sharon: Nobody is telling you that you should not care about your tribe. w. Wi jus de Yan Yu seh Pidgin na Nigerdelta language of Unity. You cannot take it away from us it's now part of our evolving culture. You love your Yoruba we love our Pidgin even if you say it's bastardized English we still love it just because Its our language. and u say we speak it among people of the same ethnicity too that's just one of the side effect of it. to most of us it's our first language and first language is the language we react with think with so go figure. |
