The problem is not pidgin but knowing when to use it

Except if you train him abroad he must pick it up because it's the way of communication for the common man and it's necessary at times

As an actress who understands media and communication let her explain to him as he grows older when and when it is not appropriate.

I get where she is coming from, at times some wrong habits can rub off on kids and it can be a shock when they suddenly burst it out at home, not really knowing what they are saying.

when should you not speak pidgin English, especially in the house?

Your child wen dem born inside pidgin.Like him papa

You don forget say most of davido hits na pidgin English, the one wey she release for English how many download e reach.

It depends on the family background. It sounds vulgar to some people so they may find it inappropriate for somebody to speak it at home.

Or are you asking me when it's not okay to use it? I think you should know already that it's not always appropriate

Even speaking Queen's English in the wrong situation can land you in deep mmiri oku so as I said, pidgin is not the problem here.

Noted, not that Pidgin that matter sister, is that 1.5 u want peoples see.

sounds vulgar, but the American southern accent sounds cool. if the boy were speaking American Southern accent with its poor grammar, Tonto would give him kudos.

honestly, when you come among a lot of these celebrities people in positions of Power, you will find out that you inapire them alot. they also look up to you

This woman is highly insecure. Speaking multiple languages increases your exposure and ability to make friends or close ties.

Nah. You're not getting me

I wonder if her son is schooling on Instagram!!!

The truth is this tonto girl don't have sense. How can you say your son should not learn to speak one of the major language in this continent that bridge tribes and nations together. Do you think she have sense or she's trying to show off? This is a woman that feeds from such language. I blame your mama wey nor give you good home training.

JeffTalki:
I don’t blame you, I blame the Nigerians that thinks PIDGIN EnGLISH is a bad language to Speak.
I sure say your pikin nor go forgive you for this thing wey you dey deprive am from when he don grow up.
Dey form Oyibo there. You still be black monkey to them.

Chill.

He will pick it up. It's so easy.

I would really hate for my own child to pick an habit of speaking pidgin English

If u like pay 1 million u.s dollars, ur pikin go dey speak pidgin dey go, that's the price you will pay for not taking your kid abroad to study.

Clout chaser

Xisnin:

Tonto may have no job but the son has a rich father.

Rich father that gave people fake lands?

Didn't she say he contributes nothing?

As long as he is schooling in Nigeria, don't be surprised because you heard him speaking pidgin

Xisnin:

Believe Tonto at your own peril.
The man presented evidence of school fees payment one time like that.
Tonto is just out for revenge and would say anything to rubbish the father.
She is able to maintain her lifestyle out of the child maintenance she receives.

can you provide evidence to back this up?

This Lady is simply foolish

Imagine, 1.5m for what Come let me teach you how to spend money.

In Zuby Michael's voice, ndi Ara ndi ara.

Sister wey mumu

Dandsome:
Lol

One thing people have to understand is that if you pay N2m as school fees and the teachers are paid N80k, then be rest assured that your child is being given education worth N80k and not N2m

Please be guided.

This is apt

Your money no waste for your son, so far naija blood dey run through him vain, he must speak pidgin

Yeye Tonto she does not know pidgin is d official language of Nigeria

Mumu mother's of today infact don't teach ur son ur tribal dialect from small Stoopid

It doesn't matter. Children wey go Umukoro community secondary school, ifitenasa, still dey very brilliant more than your sons 1.5million school.

I can't stop marveling at this girl's stupidity.
To start with, she's an ikwerre girl. These are people who even started the pidgin English.
They chew broken English like kolanut.

I'm not against the child getting a decent education.
Pidgin english is sonething an adult picks along the way and its actually a plus as a socializing mechanism in the Nigerian front.

Nigeria will remain a shìt hole until we understand that pidgin doesn't mean poverty or illiteracy. Lectures in pidgin should be promoted. English is not a measure of IQ. A language is just a means to an end

Let's evolve in this country, abeg. Begin by establishing pidgin in your organization, then watch productivity skyrocket. Pidgin is the only language that seamlessly connects this nation

greatmarshall:
Nonsense... Why didn't you send him abroad?

abroad people want their kids to speak yoruba and pigin ,

If you like teach him Queens English, tomorrow the same boy will become musician and start singing with pigin.

This lady can do anything so as to trend.... If you don't want your son to speak pidgin. Then send him abroad and stop ranting up and down on Instagram.
