The repetition is as a result of mother-tongue influence especially those spoken by or related to the Bantu community.

As in...Mimi nitaenda....=Me I will go
Mimi sitaenda....=Me i will not go

Note that Kiswahili uses what look like two first person pronouns as in Mimi(ME)....and...Ni(I)or Si.


In Kikuyu,
Nii nidathie..=Mi Nimeenda= Me i have gone/left
We wii Ng'ombe = We ni ng'ombe=You you are cow smile
Examplesd'oh!
So there's really no one to blame..like they say It came with the ship.

Boss, in lugha ya Kiswahili we say.. Siendi.. not mimi sitaenda...and Nitaenda... not 'mimi nitaenda'...It is still repetition even in Kiswahili

Usituharibie lugha ya ndimi zetu bibiye!
