I think that one of the ways causing to a revival in Naija is by uniting all Naijas, home and abroad. One way of doing this is to 'officially declare pigin as Naija's first language'. That way, person no need go school dey form fone and e go reduce all the forming wey we dey like form wen we travel commot for naija come back. I also believe say ehn, d tin go unify us more as a people and a Nation. One People, One Language, One voice.
Example...c as Naijas everywhere dey quick wake up and show up once dem hear Naija slangs like 'No long tin' or 'Notin dey happen'...I no know o..but na my view be dat...

Over to u...................

Igbo is sooooo easy..lets start with igbo first...and then we'll talk about learning hausa..lets start by lil words like..isi ewu...nkwobi....onye oshi...then we can progress from there Cheesy Cheesy

everyone is fighting for his/her langauge to be used.for that reason english remains the solution.

i agree with Vixen.....Igbo is the easiest.......


but for the sake of whole Naija......i think English is the best........simply becoz different states and different races speak a different kind of pidgin....i meant their slangs......and some people,especially those old ones or the ones from the village still don't understand pidgin.........

Y does it have to be anybody's language..isnt that the reason we (or rather I) am advocating a new lingo? I still think pigin is good. Lets think in the long run not short run. Our fathers and mothers may not understand but in some years to come, dey wont be here no more and can i safely say, most of us can speak pigin? And pls common...even in the north, people speak english. think..if you want to speak with an uneducated nigerian in naija today, woldnt u speak in english? Im really serious about this issue...American s came up with American english, y cant we have our own english, something that unifies us. Whether people of other races understand it or not is not an issue. The fact that if I go to France, i have to learn french to communicate, den people should b prepared to learn our 1 language and not learn yoruba in west, ibo in east, hausa in north to communicate.....
