The best way to learn pidgin is to chat with Nigerian friends.

Pidgin is not standard. The Igbo speak pidgin quite differently from Yoruba, while Hausa have their own words and intonation.

In any event, if you search for [b]nigeria pidgin english[/b] on google, you should come up with something.

Have you ever visited Nigeria?

If you ask people how to say things in pidgin, it'd be easier to assist you.

To start you off:

English:
How are you?

Pidgin:
How you dey?
How una dey (plural).
