Nigerian Pidgin first emerged nearly 600 years ago, as a common language of communication when trade with Europe was first established in the Niger Delta. The main reason for this is mispronouncing the words. One can find many common English words in Pidgin, but they are used quite differently.
Nigerian Pidgin is a sort of English language slang that is peppered with native ethnic words. It is perhaps the most ethnically neutral language used in the country today. Thus Nigerian Pidgin acts as a common form of communication across all the ethnic groups and serves as a bridge between social classes, ethnicities and educational levels.
Nigeria is a land blessed with ethnically diverse groups of people speaking well over 500 different languages.
Nigerian Pidgin is a language spoken by tens of millions across Nigeria.
