When it comes to language on the thread I'll still favor our local dialect to English but the community have the final say. If all we want to do is communicate with English then there isn't any need to be asking for a local board but this is just my personal opinion and I'll always voice it as such.

It was voted for, over 90% people that were active on Nigeria local thread voted for all languages (English, Pidgin and local languages). A leader should accept not based on his opinion but on the opinion of the local community.

I had emphasized on the need to accept all languages including English while I did also accepted Pidgin to be included. I do not know the exact reason why English should not be accepted. In Nigeria, pupils are taught in English, Lecturers lecture students in English, reputed news sites are in English (I can give examples if need be), the largest community in Nigeria which is Nairaland are posting mostly in English, even wallets and exchanges are in English, not Pidgin. Every Nigerian on this forum speak English. I still do not understand why English should not be accepted on our local thread or board.

Indian board is in English

If I should dig dipper, I can bring out some example of discussions on Nigeria local thread that were still written in English but partaining to only Nigerians. Recently, the discussion is about Nigeria presidential politics which can also be in English, how about the time Binance did not accept NIN slip for verification, a Nigerian brought it up about how he printed the NIN online and turned it to a card and Binance accepted it, also a Nigerian brought it up lately on our local thread that Binance is now accepting BVN. How about discussion on exchanges that Nigerians are highly using that can be brought up on local board, and many like that like piloting and creation of eNaira and Nigeria government crypto regulation.

Local board is not about the language people are speaking, it is about local community to discuss about what is happening in their community, and like on this forum, in relation to bitcoin, crypto adoption in the local community and the likes. Just that local community can have a single common local language they are using which is most likely the case, definitely the local language will be used, but Nigeria is having many local languages, but English dominates, followed by Pidgin.

English is an adopted language, although it's a necessity for communication this days that doesn't mean you should throw away your own language. You can't see other countries with their own native language doing that.

Pidgin is never a local language, it is spoken in some west African countries (most commonly in four west African countries) that Britain colonized. It was used by local traders to communicate with foreign traders in old time to ease trade dialogues. Even from our local thread, we can see its similarity with English. So, Pidgin was also an adopted language which was formed from English in a way it can be more understandable by local people that were uneducated in a way they can be able to communicate with foreigners at the time.
