POWER MOVES [Hive- Nija] kudos to the organizers of this great initiative.
I humbly suggest, we leave it at English, I guess there's no need for #pidgin, because we want to have international audience. Even our closet neighbors (country) struggle with Nija pidgin. My opinion though.

I appreciate your support and suggestions, emjeak.
Pidgin is part of our identity in Nigeria. There's no place else we'd flourish with it, considering the international space, and so Hive Naija's perspective is to facilitate it. After all, we're trying to share our cultures and experiences with one another.
Have a great weekend!
Let the pidgin people breeef abeg 🤧
Sp... tag dey fly up and down for non-sp speakers... If the aim of Threads is mass adoption, this shouldn't be an issue at all sef!
Make we breef abeg
True, sp dominates in a lot of spaces and everyone's fine with it. Pidgin shouldn't be a problem as well.
My head actually sparked when I heard that some people weren't fine with it. I wonder how it'll be if we get to 5% of Twitter's daily users and wide range. Well, hopefully, things would be better by then.
Well, maybe it's because there's no Google translate for it yet (and there may not be one in the nearest future) and it's challenging to understand. But then, it's our identity, and if there had been no Google translate for other languages, we might as well not be able to do anything either.
I hope things go get better. Meanwhile, there's not putting pidgin under the bushel.
@ksam. It was just a personal opinion expressed, and suggestion.
Ain't nothing wrong with our language id. After all that's how we roll. "Na we de breef"
Not at all chief. It's not really about you, but the convo sparked a conversation.
You know I would have replied directly on your comment or tagged you, if it was about you. 💪 Well done for your suggestion.
