How is it my people, hope you are all good. So today, I've got something interesting to discuss with you all. My question is "Why do we like forming?". I know it good to develop yourself, look more responsible, and be more presentable most especially if you have to leave your country for another. But then why is it that some people just like forming too much. As in, sometimes it just so annoying. Of course it good to speak well, have a good accent but do you have to fake it. Some people don't even know how to speak that English, there is no way you will hear them speaking their "Tush English" and you won't hear that mother's tongue in some pronunciations. That is very common. But then sometimes if you can't speak British, speak the one you understand.
I was chatting with some friends few days ago, and one was like, "Mamme, I don't think you can understand Yoruba anymore" and the other one was like "I don't think you know how to speak pidgin". I was like, my people where I am in this part of the world, you can't form, as in one when you see people especially my Ibo people and those from Akwa Ibom. Hmmmm, when they start to speak their language most especially when they are together, chai you will think, they are having a community village meeting. But the interesting part of it is that it helps to connect each one to another. Like that happiness, that joy that you have someone who you can speak your language to. So I was like this place is just like Nigeria oo. There is no where to form here, if not you are on your own, as in when you start to speak your British English, they will be the one to ask like "You no sabi pidgin?", "Can you speak the same way am talking to you" or "Aren't you a Yoruba girl?, am a Yoruba abeg speak Yoruba joor". You will know by that time that you are with your own people therefore behave well if not, any forming things, my dear. You are on your own o. No one will even tell you, before you change that tush English to the language they understand.
