A New Spoken and Emerging Standard English That You Never Knew
Not only English spoken by the native speakers of English should be considered dialect and standard.
The evolution of music in Nigeria not only set Nigeria on the World map, but will showcase the emerging and stylistic kind of English spoken in the country that deserves attention.
"It is a known fact that English, the world's medium of communication, has different dialects and varieties. At least, six countries are considered to have distinct varieties of English: British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English, New Zealand English, and South African English.
You may likely disagree like others on the existence of Nigerian English as a distinct variety of English. in academic circles, Nigerian English has been a topic of debate for years. John Ogu (1992) pointed out that as early as 1967, N. G. Walsh called attention to the existence of a distinct variety of English called "Nigerian English." Walsh observed that "The varieties of English spoken by educated Nigerians, no matter what their language, have enough features in common to mark off a general type, which may be called Nigerian English (1992: 88)."
