Brymo wants Pidgin English as Nigeria’s first language

Talented Nigerian Singer Olawale Ashimi, who is popularly known as Brymo, has stated that he wants Pidgin English as Nigeria’s first language

According to a report quoted by the BBC, Nigeria is estimated to have between three and five million people who primarily use Pidgin in their day-to-day interactions.

However, the BBC noted that as many as 75 million people consider Pidgin as their second language.

Little wonder Brymo wants Pidgin English as Nigeria’s first language.

”Make pidgin Nigeria’s first language…it’s still English, only it has bits of local lingua – it is spoken in maybe every state in the country” he tweets.

The 34-year-old ”Ara n be” crooner defended his stance by claiming that the creole language is spoken across Nigeria and still English.

Taking to his Twitter account, he tweets, “Make pidgin Nigeria first language… it’s still English, only it has bits of local lingua- it is spoken in maybe every state in the country… e go mad when presido come tv greet say “una good afternoon my fellow country people… shiiiiiit!!!!”
