World's Sexiest Accents. Nigeria Ranked No.5

In the top 12 hottest accent compiled by CNNGO, the Nigerian accent was ranked 5th hottest after the Italian, French, Spanish, and Czech accents.

Here's what they wrote about the Nigerian accent.

Famous tongues: King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde.

Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.
