>Igbo dey make me tink faster
>Marijuana or as dem dey call am for Nigeria, Igbo, na weed, dry leaf. Cannabis na di name of di plant wey dey produce di Marijuana leaf.
>Imagine your ethnic group literally being named Weed in a Nigerian language
isn't this the language of apu frog?
It's a perfectly legitimate language:
It being a legitimate language doesn't make it not dumb, still fun to read through though.
You may not like it, but this is what peak communication looks like.
dis sown lik retard wojak
Someone don make string on /tv/ wit dis
Do you, Jow Forums?
But literally the opposite happened:

Why is BBC spreading Nigerian fake news against India?
I member game much beeg in my mind
pakistani expats?
>it's someone's work to actually write this shit
Retards need to get paid, too, user.
>Languages don't change and evolve over time
>The way you speak right now would't have made your ancestors keel over in laughter
I want linguistic prescriptionists to go and stay go
daily reminder that Krios is the superior ebonic language because of a defined structure of syntax and grammar
Other "ebonic" languages have structure and syntax retard.
The BBC broadcasts and provides their news in many, many languages - the World Service being the largest in the world. It makes up in part the UK's soft power, which is in the top 3 in the world. Of course no one gives a tuppenny fuck about Sweden lmao.
Wait... there's actually a radio version of this? where can I listen to it?
>Wait... there's actually a radio version of this?
I have no idea if they broadcast the news in this language.
Oh... how unfortunate. It might have provided a moment of entertainment in my otherwise miserable existence.
Holy shit. You can use this for polandball comics.

Here's a sample of it if you want.
It's like one of those wikis written in a regional dialect, like the Scots or Samogitian.
No one's saying that, we're just having a laugh, same way our ancestors would.
Hmm, it's somehow less entertaining when spoken, I guess the comedic effect comes from the literation of slang
I have trouble believing the people who talk like this are literate.
It's most likely some minority studies grad.
It's definitely less entertaining, but still kind of funny in the right circumstances.

You are even more cucked than Sweden lmao.
But it's ok, at least you have your soft power.
>cucked
You're the one speaking his language
the video of the british high commissioner to nigeria speaking in fluent pidgon is memerising

>be some late 19th century African tribesman
>some white people come and tell you they're your boss now
>learn the absolute basics of white people's language and grammar so you can communicate with them
>white people tell you that they've thrown your tribe together with twenty other tribes in one administrative division and built a huge capital for it miles away
>move there
>run into people from twenty other tribes
>can't be assed to learn each of their languages, but all of them did the exact same thing when the white people came and learned the basics of their language
>everyone starts communicating with each other in extremely broken English
This happened all over Africa; there's versions of French and Portuguese like this as well
I just don't understand how it happens that they learn how to read that without ever actually learning English.
I would understand if they were just using their own dialect, we do the same thing, at least when the author isn't a burger loving degenerate, but this syntax looks vaguer than English, and English is already quite vague.
The World Servive has no need to broadcast in Swedish. Sweden is one of the most stable countries in the world. The Czechoslovak service went off the air after the Fall of the Berlin Wall too.
>The Czechoslovak service went off the air after the Fall of the Berlin Wall too.
Having it back would be nice though
I don't get the mockery, if it helps improve peoples lives then good on it.
Me big big for it
pretty sure its machine translated

This isn't as funny with African accents
>The World Servive has no need to broadcast in Swedish
That's not the point I was making.
this really needs to be double subtitled.
pidgin on top
English on bottom
like this
> I thouda dey is speaking Nigerian ola Swahili atta first

> I like Nigeria well well
> Wetin be your best Nigerian food
> My best food na suya
