    One of the main differences between Ghanaian and Nigerian Pidgin is that:
    Ghana pidgin is mostly spoken by young people. A lot of people pick it up in college/university while Nigerian Pidgin seems like a large percentage of the population regardless of age or education can speak it

    There is a wide variety of pidgin English spoken in Nigeria. We can say one thing several ways in pidgin and that is besides the fact that in different places in Nigeria, they speak pidgin differently. Slangs are also infused into the pidgin and some of the slangs don't fade, they become embedded in pidgin.
    For example,
    1. what is your name? Could be translated in pidgin as: a. Wetin be your name b. Wetin dem de call you
    2. What is our age difference: a. How many years I take senior your b. How many years I use senior you c. How many years I old pass you,
    3. The okra soup is slimy: a. The okra soup de slime b. This okra soup de draw c. This okra soup draw d. This okra draw die (the die is a slang to tell how well the okra is slimy)
    4. I want to sleep: a. I wan sleep. b. I wan crash (crash is a slang to mean time to sleep) c. Sleep de worry me (telling you that I'm feeling sleepy)
    5. I want to cut my hair: a. I wan cut my hair b. I wan barb my hair
    6. Long time ago a. tay tay b. e don tay
    7. Calm down, your temper won't solve the problem a. calm down, you temper no go fit solve the problem b. calm down, no be with vex you go fit solve the problem c. Calm down, you no go fit solve the problem with vex. d. Chill, no be vex e. No matter how hot your temper be e no fit boil beans (the diversity of pidgin) meaning no matter how angry you are that's as far as it gets.
    8. One person suffers, another person enjoys a. money de chop, baboon de enjoy b. One person de work, another person de enjoy.

      In fact, there's street pidgin and what you call flow.
      And what you'll call formal pidgin which has no slangs added to it.
      Street pidgin has alot of codes to it.
      Flow mostly spoken by University students has a mixture of English language and western style slangs to it.
      Example is...
      How body...
      is formal pidgin.
      How far is Street pidgin

It was not a big thing previously with very few people speaking it. The old folks always complained about it when we were young that it mess up the English language in Ghana. It used to be associated to street folks and was frowned upon back in the 80's.

    Nigeria pidgin English is as old as wen the British came into NIGERIA 🇳🇬. Our grandparents spoke the language. It's not recently Nigerians started speaking the pidgin English. Our grandparents handed it down to us, while Ghana pidgin English was learned recently when Nigerians started schooling in Ghana.. The sincere Ghanaians who were students in Legon, Kumasi University science and Technology, etc. They would testified about. Throughout my stay in Ghana, nobody spoke pidgin English in my hearing because I was born there in the late 50s and in the early 60. This pidgin English is a new language in Ghana and they got the inspiration from Nigeria through our students who went to Ghana to school and through social media. It is good to learn from us so as to communicate freely. Long life Nigerians and Ghanaians.

    Dear Demochets, this is yet another lovely video! It seems that the guys are just playing up the NG/GH beef for entertainment though 😂. We aren't always bickering at each other like this in real life.
    Re: Nigerian Pidgin, the area that was carved out and named Nigeria is very large. The creators roped together many diverse ethnic groups, some without cultural affinity, and imposed their own language and culture on them. This mix involves some 500 languages, each with further dialects. And so, Pidgin English evolved to bridge the ensuing communication gap. Those with the means and interest go to school to learn Western Education and Western languages, typically English and/or French. However, not all have the means (e.g. the poor) or the interest (e.g. nomadic tribes). Therefore, not all speak Standard English and those with more diversity have evolved Pidgin English. Those with less diversity, such as Northern Nigeria where Hausa is predominantly spoken, are less likely to speak Nigerian Pidgin English as there is less/no need for it. Due to their Arabic/Islamic influence, they are also less receptive of Westernisation. However, in Southern, Western and Eastern Nigeria where there are more languages and dialects, Pidgin English not only exists but is dynamic, constantly changing. The most dynamic being the South-South region. If you travel out of Nigeria for a few months and return, there will be new words and phrases to learn. It changes that fast! The older generations tend to speak 'traditional Pidgin' while the younger ones keep tabs on the new slang words and phrases. Hence, older Nigerians would say 'I wan sleep,' while it's the younger ones who would say 'I wan crash.' I don't think any grandmas or grandpas envision 'crashing' onto a bed after a hard day's work! Older Nigerians would say 'I dey komot Nigeria' (I am leaving/emigrating out of Nigeria) while younger Nigerians might say 'I dey japa,' where 'japa' is slang for emigrating. I say this to explain that some of what our Nigerian brother in the video is saying is Nigerian slang. It is therefore culturally derived and specific to a context. Hence Nigerian Pidgin English varies from region to region and also across generations. If you had older speakers in the video, they might have used 'more traditional' words and phrases. Same with those who speak 'King's English' and those who don't. The 'King's English' speakers might speak a 'posh' variety. ❤

    It is an art form. It is a combination of creative influences from different Nigerian ethnic groups due to schooling in different states over the course of colonization not to talk of NYSC, iykyk.
