    I’m Nigerian, but I didn't grow up there, and my parents didn't speak Yoruba to us kids. Now I'm an adult trying to learn everything, which is a challenge. I struggle with not feeling like a “true Nija” person among other Nigerians, and I feel like learning to speak pidgin connects me to my roots and my people. This video is a public service 😊 PLEASE keep making these videos!

      Same basically & growing up speaking English and now almost 30 trying to learn and pronounce pidgin is hard because it’s like unlearning proper English to be honest

    How far, I live in the UK, and I am disabled. Many of my carers are from Nigeria (27 so far), and I have been learning Pidgin from a couple of them. I find it a fascinating language.
    I love the reactions that I get from the other Nigerian carers when I use Pidgin words and phrases. They are so happy when I do this.
    I have found that the Nigerian women are so full of positive energy, they are open and friendly. I very much look forward to their visits. They bring a lot of happiness to me life. The least that I can do, is learn a little bit of Pidgin.

    I am brazilian, and you said that "sabi" means "to know" that made so much sense to me, because in portuguese (brazilian portuguese) the verb "to know" is "saber". That is crazy

      Pidgin is mixed with Portuguese, English, and Nigerian indigenous languages, when the Portuguese came to Nigeria for trade, there was need need for communication...

    I am Ivorian but my father is Nigerian from the Yoruba people. I do not speak it well but I notice some words in Pidgin are also used in the Yoruba language and that's' gbamsolutely awesome. Maybe their origin is there. It's a bit like "Nushi" in Côte d'Ivoire which is a mixture of local languages and even latin languages. Thank you fro the video and I follow you from now on .😊😌
