I've added some words I've sourced from 'Babawilly's Dictionary of Pidgin English Words and Phrases'. He describes the English language situtation in Nigeria as follows:
"Pidgin English is spoken widely across Nigeria. It is a language made up of elements of the Queen's English and the local dialects.
...
Many English words are used differently in Pidgin English and more research would be needed to find out why. However direct translations of sentences from the local dialets into English without regards to tenses contributes to a lot of the confusing words in Pidgin English. Many mis-spellings and mis-pronunciations are so popular that they have entered colloquial usage.
Finally I must add that Pidgin English is a comical language and spoken with spirit, emotion and a lot of gesticulations. It is indeed a Nigerian fabrication."
