Etymology and other things
editThe etymology section has grammar errors in a way that I wonder if it tried to say "might have", but also makes little sense to me as it is. The words are all English except for "gree". Looking in a dictionary, that means "agree", so the phrase is "No agree for anybody", or perhaps "no agreement for anybody" if you conjugate it? That does not seem very justice-inducing. Looking at other examples of the pidgin, the language does not usually seem as close to English as the words "No [something] for anybody". The etymology section could benefit greatly from any references for this claim
Generally, the article feels like it is written from personal experience or perception (noting the "particularly among young Nigerians" in the article lede not being backed up by the source—permalink), haphazardly looking up sources to support that perception (see confirmation bias). My apologies in advance if this allegation turns out to be incorrect, but that is my current perception 2.243.24.45 (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
