The truth is that I don't see it your way. Nigeria is more diverse, and upbringings are not the same. I'm sure we would have at least 3 categories of people here:

1. Those who understand and can write well in both English and Pidgin.
2. Those who understand both, but can only write well in English and struggle to write in Pidgin.
3. Those who understand English, but barely understand Pidgin, let alone write in it.

Should we disenfranchise the 3 and force 2 to write what was supposed to be written in 5 minutes, 20 minutes, or more? By virtue, I vote for freedom of language. Besides, having a local board doesn't mean secrecy as you make it look (we can't hide on a public forum). Local board only means more bonding with our fellow countrymen.
