You do well for the matter wey you bring, but wetting me i see for here na because this we 9ja local board no get moderator. because if moderator dey or say dem no pin some rules for the top or say we no get sub board to differentiate the topics, most shitpost wey dem dey drop here na delete them for dey delete am. Just like when I start new if I go other board go post wetting no make sence dem go delete am I no go see am again. So the privilege wey dem get na the post wey dem dey make and no disturbance. and dem dey learn from am too, but that one no mean say I dey support them. Newbie must always be newbie no matter what. We all don dey that shoe before. Provided say new people dey come everyday we go just prepare ourselfs for correction till them know wetting the room dey all about. Or we get moderator and sub boards.
The second one wey you say make people go lean pidgin for jw.org, I no see any difference because Pidgin na Pidgin and e no get Google translator so any how person write am we don understand am. When I see am self I think say na where person fit translate English to pidgin but as I go check am I just discover say na Just normal write up wey dem don already program.
Topic: Two things I (we) noticed in the local board - page 2. (Read 347 times)
For example: Mk Una 4 uses this
Note: I'm also part of the number 2. So we all should just keep trying our best to write in the proper way.

For me this your number two, I no think say na issue. There is no difference between pidgin and shortcut or short hand writing so long persin wey dey read am dey understand and flow with am. Even basically d tin wey dey gud about d pidgin stuff na make e be say na only us wey get dis board go fit know wetin we dey do inside dis place but na as we dey remis with oyibo parol e con be like say other pepo go enta here and easily know wetin we dey yawn here. If persin write such short hand I tink say na still part of the pidgin, the only tin na to write wetin persin go understand. If we dey send SMS for phone, we dey use different ways to shorten wetin we dey write and yet deliver the purpose of the msage. Like example we sabi say for naija pidgin parlance, we dey use 2 as to, 4 as for, d for the etc and so if persin still use dem for here, we suppose fit still know wetin d persin dey yawn, so no issue as far as pidgin concern.
Hello, our Nigerian (Naija) local board!
Recently, I have been so concerned about this local board and the activities here. There are two important things that I (we) have noticed here on the local board and wish to make known to everyone in order to call our attention and hence reduce or probably put an end to such acts.
1. In the cost of posting or actively participating in the forum (local board), people (especially newbies and beginners) have recently increased the shit posts here, bringing in posts that belong to social media or issues that aren't related to the sole purpose of the forum or local board to discuss here.
I wouldn't quote anybody or mention anyone here because I don't want it to be construed from a different perspective or seen as personal attacks. It's good to participate in discussions in the forum, but that doesn't mean one should just publish any sort of thing here. Be mindful of what you wish to publish; let it be at least impactful and relate to the sole purpose of the forum.
2. This is not so concerning, but at least it's needed. For everyone of us here who is delighted to write in pidgin, we should write them well. I noticed some misconceptions in our local language (pidgin). Most of us here, while communicating with pidgin, tend to write in our social media communication language (shortcut) spelling. Although it's not bad, where I became concerned was that while I was reading some translations with pidgins, I saw those shortcuts written in there. For example: Mk Una 4 uses this example. So I thought of how to improve our pidgin writing, and there I discovered it's even harder to find pidgin translator apps, so it's mostly done manually. Well, for us to write our Nigerian pidgin very well, I suggest we (especially Naija local board translators) should go to the Jahoval Witness website (JW.ORG) and read most of their translations to become well acquainted with our Naija pidgin.
