How to Say I Love You in Nigerian Pidgin






The Nigerian Pidgin is an English-based creole language, that is a mother tongue formed from the contact of a European language which is in this case, the English language and an African language.  While the English language is referred to as the official language in Nigeria, Pidgin is regarded as the real lingua franca. Nigeria is a country with well over 250 local languages and was colonized by Britain. In a bid to bridge the communication gap caused by these diverse languages, the Nigerian Pidgin was developed to aid communication among people from different parts of the country, as well as between Nigerians and Europeans.

How to Say I Love You in Nigerian Pidgin

The Nigerian pidgin is such that it instantly sparks up conversations. If you hear a foreigner speak the Nigerian pidgin, Nigerians get instantly lit up. This is because it shows that the foreigner has spent some time here or has taken time out to integrate him or herself into the Nigerian culture. There is a certain aura the Nigerian pidgin creates; it forms a certain bond and intimacy among its speakers. It also represents the means through which many have tried to survive, cope and live amongst themselves over the years and in Africa’s most populous nation.

Pidgin English is extremely popular in Nigeria and is generally accepted as the language of blue-collar trade and merchants. For example, in the market place, a foreigner can easily trade with a Nigerian woman who is not so fluent in English because the major words which they are both familiar with are integrated into the communication.

For a country with over 250 tribes speaking over 521 languages and dialects, Pidgin remains the great bridge that allows for communication across all levels.

Citizens of Nigeria who do not have easy access to higher education and white-collar jobs can smartly pick up a few words of English and mix it with other elements of their native tongues.

Variations of Pidgin English exist all over the world and these variations come with its own library of everyday words. However, as you travel across West Africa, the style of Pidgin spoken becomes more familiar, even though it differs based on the local language elements infused into it.

Saquon Barkley involves CAA in his contract talks.

9 Seconds Ago — Saquon Barkley involves CAA in his contract talks.   Five years ago, Giants running back Saquon Barkley shifted his marketing representation from Roc Nation to CAA. Now, CAA is involved in negotiating his football contract, too. Per NFLPA records, Barkley is currently represented by Kim Miale of Roc Nation and Ed Perry of CAA. According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Perry was added to the negotiating team in the middle of June. The change suggests that Barkley was not fully satisfied with the service he was getting. However, he was not so dissatisfied that he fired Roc Nation. On Wednesday, PFT reported that the  Giants offered Barkley $13 million per year  before the application of the franchise tag. Barkley, we reported, wanted $16 million per year.
