Sorry to be off-topic, I checked some of the posts in that local board, and why do some account there speak using English?
This has even led to an argument before on our local thread before theymos gave us local board, some people wanted all to be in Pidgin, but some people too wanted it to be in both English and Pidgin. We voted with these options:
- only Pidgin
- only English
- English and Pigin
- English, Pigin and other languages
Most people chose English and Pigin.
There are more than 371 tribes in Nigeria, with 525 spoken languages. The reason other languages are not accepted. Local forums, news and many more are in English. Also local radios in English but sometimes in Pidgin while doing some programs.
Pidgin is widely spoken among illiterates that do not understand English, but later more literates also like to speak it.
All of us on the forum are literates and we understand both. So most likely the reason almost everyone voted for English and Pidgin.
