Most people chose English and Pigin.
Pidgin is widely spoken among illiterates that do not understand English, but later more literates also like to speak it.
All of us on the forum are literates and we understand both. So most likely the reason almost everyone voted for English and Pidgin.

speak in common known as the "Nigerian Pidgin English", which is a combination of normal English and our Nigerian dialect/slang. Which is the reason why you happen to come across pure English on our local board, as it's also acceptable.
So I hope you understand now??

Thanks for the clarification, it's the first time I know this information.
This will reduce the chance of you being a LB Merit source as English still accounts for a good proportion of the posts plus there are many higher ranking members who can speak Pigin.

I don't know if this is the reason why there is no mod for Nigeria (Naija) LB.
