This project is an attempt to explore the recurring grave concerning the
acad
emic performance of students. Though a large percentage of students
in Nigeria learn English as a second language and are instructed in it, the
Nigerian pidgin seems to interfere with their acquisition of the language
and their performance in it much more
than their mother tongues. The
impact of pidgin contributes in no small measure to the dismal performance
of students in their academic career
