Currently English, Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo are the current official languages in the country but we no for a fact that the Lingua Franca is Pidgin English or Broken. Is it not time that we codify this language that is one of the few things that binds a diverse Nigeria. In Jamaica English is also an official language but they have rightly elevated their Patois to this status as well as it is part of their patronage, it is high time we do the same in Nigeria. 2 Likes |

I wouldn't want English to be replaced with pidgin, the two languages sounds more alike. Any other language that has the largest number of speakers in Nigeria should be adopted instead. |

Yes it should. Not to replace proper English but in addition to it. |

The only official language in Nigeria is English, the rest don't enjoy the same status. And no, English influence needs to disappearcompletely, which means adapting a local language as soon as Nigerian stop being tribalists. |
