(The scene opens with Kenny White and Broda Shaggi sitting in a classroom, with an Oyinbo (Whiteman) student looking eager to learn.)
Kenny White: "Alright, my man, today we're going to teach you how to speak Pidgin. You know, the language of the gods."
Broda Shaggi: "Yes, and we're going to start with the basics. 'How are you?' in Pidgin is 'Biko, wetin dey happen?'"
Oyinbo Student: "Biko... wetin... dey... happen?" (struggling to pronounce the words)
Kenny White: "Ha! You sound like a true Nigerian! Now, let's move on to some Yoruba phrases. 'Jollof rice' in Yoruba is 'un agbado'."
Broda Shaggi: "And if you want to say 'I'm hungry', you say 'Ebi n pa mi'. But if you're really, really hungry, you say 'Ebi n pa mi sha'."
Oyinbo Student: "Ebi... n... pa... mi... sha?" (laughing)
Kenny White: "That's it! You're a natural! Now, let's practice some Pidgin jokes. Why did the Nigerian chicken go to the doctor?"
Broda Shaggi: "I don't know, why?"
Kenny White: "Because it had fowl breath! Get it? Fowl, like chicken?"
Oyinbo Student: "Ha! I see what you did there!"
Broda Shaggi: "Okay, okay, now it's my turn. Why did the Nigerian goat go to the party?"
Kenny White: "I don't know, why?"
Broda Shaggi: "Because it was a baa-utiful occasion! Get it? Baa, like goat?"
Oyinbo Student: "Ha! That's so funny!"
Kenny White: "Alright, now let's learn some Pidgin insults. If someone is being annoying, you can say 'You dey vex me, abi?'".
Broda Shaggi: "And if someone is being really annoying, you can say 'You dey vex me pass pepper soup'."
Oyinbo Student: "You dey vex me... pass... pepper... soup?" (laughing)
Kenny White: "That's it for today's lesson. You're now a certified Pidgin speaker!"
Broda Shaggi: "And don't forget, if you want to say 'goodbye' in Pidgin, you say 'Tide don come, abi?'"
Oyinbo Student: "Tide... don... come... abi?" (smiling)
Kenny White: "Ha! You're going to fit right in Nigeria!"
(The three of them share a laugh as the lesson comes to an end.)
