It reads very similar to the Hawaiian Pidgin Bible.
It's technically West African Pidgin English, AKA Guinea Coast Creole English, (perhaps) AKA Cameroon Pidgin, which seems to be much the same thing and has an ISO-639 code (wes).
IMO if these are all the same language then they should perhaps be dignified with a proper name that doesn't involve the generic term "pidgin".
That is magnificent. :-)
