Pidgin English in Ghana versus Nigeria by kokaine(m) : 8:23 pm

They say travelling occasions us with culture shock while we learn about ourselves.
However, there are many who do not have the opportunity to travel to other countries and interact with other people. I have often wondered how Ghanians understand the pidgin English used in Nigerian music most times. I want this topic to be about exchanging common pidgin english slangs used in Nigeria versus those from Ghana and see how well we understand what we are saying

i will start:

When you meet a friend, how do you greet in pidgin (NIGERIA)
A. how far
B. whatsup
C. which way
D. watin dey play na
E. senior man! or my leader! or chairman! or boss!

HOW DO THEY REPLY
A. i bam o
B. gallant
C. i firm
D. i dey

A SHORT STORY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE
One day, a man walked into the bank to lay complain about strange debit alerts he was receiving. He became angered by the attitude of the banking officer. He screamed " i will slap you now if care is not taken"

TRANSLATION IN NIGERIAN PIDGIN
E get one day like dat, na so one guy fall inside bank. he wan let them know say mehn, dem don looseguard hin account. come be like say the officer no wan dey feel him cruise, na him my guy hallar say " guy i go burst you slap if you mind your self oh"
