They do mention the ongoing military cooperation between di two kontris.
There is an official Nigerian response included in the article, but it appears to be polished for a foreign audience, not a domestic one:
“Nigeria say dia partnership wit di US na for ‘capacity building, professional military education, intelligence sharing, logistics support and strategic dialogue to address shared security concerns, including terrorism and transnational threats.’”
BBC — now available in pidgin English.
(Yes, I know "pidgin" comes from "business.")
Ask yourself, why does BBC do this?
Yes.
It’s a Creole used in Nigeria, so people can communicate across languages. (Nigeria has about 500 languages. Without a ‘lingua franca’ like this, they couldn’t work together very well.)
Quit posting pidgin english... when I read it it makes me think I’m having a stroke or something.
Just what we need. A war in Africa.
Send them cases of Winchesters and machetes and broomsticks to tape to their backbones.
The audience for this report is Nigeria.
When roaming in Rome spik ad de Roma du...
Obviously
But why the BBC?
Without a ‘lingua franca’ like this, they couldn’t work together very well.)
thanks for dis. It’s gud stuff
The Brits colonized a lot of Nigeria. They were involved in the original development of the language. The BBC News Pidgin is based in Lagos. Many millions of people speak, and now read, it.
Britain has a long history of involvement in Nigeria.
This publication is for the people who don’t use ‘normal English’ but share understanding of Pidgin.
Of course they could.
Most Nigerians speak normal English plus their native tongue.
From Wiki:
“Despite its status, English is not widely spoken in rural areas. Many Nigerians struggle with English, evidenced by the 60 percent fail rate of the WASSCE in English (May/June 2015), an important exam certificate...
“Pidgin, first used by British and African slavers to facilitate the Atlantic slave trade in the late 17th century, has replaced the native language for many Nigerians. Many Nigerians speak Nigerian Pidgin, a creole language based on English, which is a popular social and cultural language. It has become popular in the mass media and in political slogans. According to a 2012 study, the replacement of native local languages with Pidgin is inevitable in the areas studied.”
That brings up a great column that’s got some age on it, but is still applicable.
Almost 25 years now!
