Some people think speaking pidgin English is local , but if you’ve ever heard a Warri man speak pidgin you’ll think twice. Why do you think they say ‘Warri no dey carry last?’
Dr Joe Abah asked Nigerians to translate ‘ The Lord’ s Prayer ’ into Pidgin and stand the chance of winning a prize .
Now for those who don’ t know The Lord’s Prayer or have forgotten it, here it is :
Our Father in heaven , hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come .
Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven .
Give us this day our daily bread , and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.
Lead us not into temptation , but deliver us from evil.
Nigerians came through with the translations!
