Nigerian writer, Azuka Onwuka speak on why people that grow up in Onitsha and Warri don’t speak normally.
Via his Facebook page, Onwuka said:
Between Onitsha and Warri
It is virtually impossible for you to grow up in Onitsha or Warri and be talking “normally”.
Every sentence you make must be punctuated with slang words and codes that will make people from other places struggling to decode your meaning.
You must also know how to dramatize and gesticulate.
You must also walk in a special way – with swag.
You must also have excessive bravado, no matter how smallish or weak you appear.
