Learning and speaking another language trying to customize sentences and phrases I am sure I’d sound weird. Not sure anywhere else is an equivalent of pidgin english though.

There are many people in Nigeria who speak beautiful, cultured English - better English than most Americans speak.

Pidgin is any substitute language that has been simplified into its basic parts to facilitate communication between two cultures without a common language...........

The report is about India, the publication is for Nigerian readers.

Just like American newspapers sometimes include features from other countries.

Ah, thanks!
