Ogogoro: A Nigerian narrative in Pidgin English - Paperback

by Oluwagbemiga Ogboro-Cole (Author)

Ogogoro: A Nigerian Narrative in Pidgin English, aims to encourage the usage of Pidgin English to foster interaction among young people while also popularizing the language employed in this book. Written in a comedic way, the narrator describes his encounters with Nigeria's many ethnic groups, languages, unfulfilled governance commitments, and cultural practices, emphasizing the importance of acceptance and tolerance among its residents. The book questions religious groups' rigorous moral standards and promotes a more open-minded and inclusive approach to spirituality.

Similarly, the subject and language choices in this book emphasize the use of Pidgin English as a language rather than its perception by linguistic scholars. These scholars ranked it lower than other languages. Today. Furthermore, the Nigerian entertainment business has 'pidginized' its productions in order to reach the largest number of people feasible.
