i never saw nobody. vs i didn't see nobody.

Both phrases are commonly used in informal English, but they are considered non-standard or dialectal. The double negative in both phrases creates a negative meaning, which is not standard in formal English. However, in certain dialects or informal speech, these constructions may be used for emphasis or to convey a specific tone.
