Nigerian music legend, Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2baba has urged linguists professors in Nigeria to package West Africa’s lingua franca, pidgin english.
The African Queen Crooner made the case this morning on his official Twitter hamdle, where he called on linguist professors to work on making the widely spoken language in Nigeria and West Africa officially recognized.
His appeal is coming days after he returned from the US amidst the uncertainty in his marriage to Annie.
According to 2baba, it’s important that the language is granted official status as well included in schools’ curriculum.
He reasoned that pidgin English remains the only language that people irrespective of their age, ethnicity, status can understand and learn easily in the country and across Africa.
