The early members of our local board chose English and Pidgin as the languages, and this has been a big issue over the years. In Nigeria, where almost everyone speaks English and Pidgin, these languages were chosen to avoid confusion. I remember someone suggesting using other tribal languages, when writing about the history of the local board but that could have made things worse.

Currently, only Naija and the India board use English alongside their local language. The local board wasn't created solely because of language.it was a way to unite Nigerians and discuss country-related issues.

It would have been more stressful creating a topic strictly for Nigeria in the general board, and having other English members who know nothing of what is going on debate for us how to go about. So that's the whole idea about the English and PIDGIN it does necessary mean we have to write in pidgin but as a way to bring us together.
