To me, that local board looks like "very bad English", so I don't want to read it. It usually starts okay and makes me think it's English. Like this:
Your choice of exchange go depend on wetin you dey find
I see 4 normal English words, then my mind gets scrambled Tongue
Nigerian languages are very diverse consisting over 760+  so pidgin is more like an alternative that any Nigerian would understand.

Some don't actually write out the pidgin the way it should appear hence the idea you have of it being English. I the real pidgin sense of I should write this reply I bet you wouldn't understand a thing.....

I made this post in the past concerning the quality of pidgin on the board in fact.
