Pidgin English in Ghana is like an integral part of our senior high school culture. A typical Ghanaian is likely to start speaking pidgin English with their mates when they get to senior high school. Some of the words change depending on which part of Ghana you attended high school in. And just as your guest said it's more common among males having a friendly conversation.

Pidgin English in Ghana is highly spoken in the senior high schools. And its normally mixed with the local languages, Hence its unique from the Nigeria pidgin. Nigeria pidgin is Raw English, Ghana's own is complimented with the local language.

Nigeria pigin is a mixture of English n different languages in Nigeria, some words or slangs Ghana use in their pigin are from Nigeria...... Nigeria pigin has great influence in Ghana n Africa because of our movies (Nollywood), music, culture n Nigerians living there.

I believe Ghanaian pidgin is like 70% similar to Nigerian Pidgin so for any intelligent individual who understands that language is dynamic and picking meaning out of language shouldn’t follow a strict set of rules, if you’re a Nigerian you should understand about 60-70% of Ghanaian pidgin. Pidgin is simply the ‘broken’ English that our forefathers who were exposed to the whites or slave masters were speaking so all Africans have some form of their own pidgin.
