'The naija comedians and Nollywood is good source material for where the spoken word (pidgin) meets the visual arts and as to the visual arts as far as my own experience goes, when it comes to body language (expressionism) Nigeria is di champion, cf Chiwetel Ejiofor…and many others such as the majestic Edo dancers…'

Port Harcourt used to be and still is, a hub of Nigerian pidgin english language. I remember those days as if it was yesterday when one of my masters, Johnny Jacks, your friend, Emma Wopara, Comish Ekiye, et al used to keep the city lively with pidgin and real english productions.
