No. This not a joke. It's real. The BBC has apparently decided Africans are simply too stupid to be expected to learn normal English. So, the news will now be delivered to them in Pidgin as if it is a real language.
Would they ever deliver the news in Cockney? How about Leprechaun? Or maybe a heavy redneck Southern drawl?

Takes a LOT to render me speechless and I'm about there re this video.
I googled it to see if it was really real, and...un-freaking-believably, it is.
See for yourself:
Leftists: Thats right. No Lingua Franca! Proper English is the White mans tongue. Lets make broken English an officially recognized language. ITS AS LEGITIMATE AS ANY OTHER LANGUAGE! And if you disagree - youre racist!
Papiamento (Chatting, a Chat), a language with only 850,000 speakers, in the Netherlands Antilles, Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba, a combination of Portuguese, African, Spanish and Hebrew.
Atardi Kòrsou ta bunita
Ora ku solo ta baha
Ora tur para ta kanta félis
Promé ku nan bai sosega
Atardi para kant’i playa
Un goso ta jena nos alma
Ta manera nos isla ta hal’un roséa
P’e jama e dia ayo
Pero atardi tambe tin tristesa
Or’e dia ta jega su fin
Ta manera un parti di nos ta bajendo y jamás nos lo bolbe miré
Curaçaos evening is beautiful / when the sun is setting / the birds chirp happily / before they retire to rest
Sunset against the beach shore / fills our soul with joy / like our island takes a breath / to bid the day farewell
But evening also brings sadness / when another day comes to an end / like a part of us disappears / never to be seen again.
OH DEAR AND MERCIFUL GOD.......

“Gol durnit, that varmint Trump done done it agin, I tell ya hwut!”
I shall demand a reporter who sounds like Yosemite Sam.
As stupid as it seems I am not sure BBC is right. Of course if Fox News did this it would be deemed racist

“BBC Pidgin na for all of us” - Toyin
Impy start laugh
“Wetin” means “what” btw.
Oh, my stars.
Do any of their reporters speak Jive?
I have absolutely NO idea “wetin” to say about “dis”.
Maybe Yoda could translate... “Hmmm... INSANE, they are, yes...”
Radio Australia has been broadcasting Tok Pisin to New Guinea and close by islands for many, many decades. Tok Pisin is now closer to a real creole than just a trade language. There are many creoles around the world, and they all started off as trade languages. This is just another. The BBC just expanded its reach.
There are many creoles based on English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and even German. It makes sense to broadcast in a pigin that reaches tens of millions instead of trying to broadcast in the dozens of local languages.
By the way, BBC broadcasts in 40 different languages. The guy who made this YT is ignorant.
Every news report ends with, "Nah BACK OFF, ya long-eared galoot!"
