Nigerian Pidgin Talker!

Nigeria: White Woman Speaks Pidgin to Nigerian Women! (20.7.2025)

I keep an eye on ethnic African Telegram Channels – particularly those from Nigeria. I am observing the gang warfare that exists (termed “cult membership”) – which focuses on the “Vikings” (there is an idea that Vikings once landed in Africa and mixed-in with the local people) and the “Black Axes” – the latter of which brutally kill other people with hand-axes. There are other groups that routinely fight one another for dominance and control of resources, etc. These gangs are tribal and tend to reject Christianity as being a foreign religion imposed by outsiders. However, Nigerian culture in general is rather relaxed, sedate, and nourishing to encounter despite the issues that exist within broader society. This is just the same as every other culture on Earth. The young woman above was featured on one of these Channels as being an extraordinary example of a White person speaking fluent Nigerian Pidgin!

London: City Road [EC1V 2NR] – Shoreditch Side-Street “Not a Toilet”! (5.11.2024)

After being in the vicinity of Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road – Shoreditch – East Central London), we had just visited a new Chinese Supermarket [Fu Lai], we stumbled upon a very strange side-street which cannot be fenced-off because it is publicly accessible. We had seen this place years ago – but we did not record it at the time. Apparently, the sign on either side of this narrow in-dent states that the area is NOT a “Public Toilet”! How odd! This is a posh place full of new high-rise (and incredibly expensive) flats strictly for the elite. As there are no public houses of clubs – it is difficult to understand just why it is that the local population would use this side-street as a toilet. It seems to me that this might be a fake landmark designed to attract bemused tourists and incredulous locals. Perhaps an urban myth.
