Once a pidgin has emerged, it is generally learned as a second language and used for communication among people who speak different languages. The term pidgin is used to refer to a language which develops in a situation where speakers of different languages have a need to communicate but do not share a common language. The interference of the pidgin contributes in no small measure to the dismal performance of students in the language. Bamgbose (2013) asserts that ‘a major problem with the educational system of most African States is educational failure, which may be traced to the language of instruction.’ 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. But one crucial factor which contributes to this dismal performance of students in the language is a linguistic problem, which unfortunately is obvious, but is yet to receive concerted efforts to solve. Stakeholders in education have adduced many other factors for student’s unsatisfactory performance in English language. The performance of very many students in the language has continued to be unimpressive and worrisome. Students, parents, teachers and the government are often shocked by the results of, notably, English language released by the examination bodies. However, there has been a recurring grave concern about the poor performance of students at these public examinations.
