You keep repeating this sh!t and it's not true. My parents usually have this social gathering where my tribesmen meet once every month. Nobody and I mean nobody dares speak any language that is not urhobo otherwise that person incures a fine. In my village and in most towns and cities occupied by urhobos, urhobo remains the first language that is predominantly spoken. I personally am not very fluent at my language and that is because I didn't grow up among my people. And whenever I meet relatives they laugh and mock me for not being fluent at my language. That is the situation of things. 1Sharon: |

[quote author=fratermathy post=69548469]Akwa Ibom nor follow at all for this matter. Na only Ibibio and good English dem dey yarn here. Dey nor sabi catapult pidgin at all. Even the small ones wey open eye for the matter sef nor sabi am wella. Their pidgin dey sound like good English mixed with Ibibio. As for Anambra, na Igbo dey reign for there. Pidgin nor too follow. Na only for Onitsha dem dey speak small pidgin based on Asaba influence and based on say strangers boku for there. So Onitsha nor too follow up. Even Asaba sef, na Waffarians dey spoil that town. Normally, na Igbo dem dey yarn but Waffi boys don change am follow them. Some Asaba people don even get Warri tongue now sef. For Bayelsa matter ehn, Yenagoa na correct pidgin area. The people wey get the town na Epie/Atissa dem dey speak normally but Izon people and Ogbia people plenty for the cabal so na pidgin naim dem take dey control their matters for there. As for Cross River, na Ogoja/Ikom/Obudu people get am. Their langua for there na konk one. Nor play o. If original Ikom man yarn pidgin for you, your head go roll like ludo seed. Highest pidgin sha na Warri. Area! [/quote Scome! You say Akwa Ibom no sabi wetin? Your fada yansh for dia |

Nice one! OP However, the list should have been in cities/towns not state. After Lagos and Abuja, the remaining eight should be Niger/Delta states lol. In the east, they ONLY speak pidgin to you if you are not a local and the pidgin is heavily accented. However in Niger Delta, pidgin is our official language o we have no choice if not we won’t be able to communicate, in ONE state alone, there are a million languages unlike other regions where they only have to worry about dialects/accent. Infact, they are even united with one language across multiple states. |

1Sharon: Do you know that Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese etc evolved as Pidgin languages of Latin? Today these languages are standard official world languages, while Latin has has become obsolete? So many official languages of various countries today evolved as Pidgin languages. Then later become Creoles. 2 Likes |

1Sharon: People from the same non hausa ethnic groups in the north still choose to speak Hausa to themselves sometimes because it has become the lingua franca over there and many are already abandoning their languages. As long as you are from a smaller ethnic group, it is difficult to retain your language due to the smaller geographic spread of your language. The average yoruba person in Ibadan meets mostly yoruba people on a daily basis, compared to the average Urhobo person in Warri, Ughelli or even Sapele who meets with people of many different ethnic groups on a daily basis. 3 Likes |
