Nigeria has the 10th sexiest English accent in the world
There are over 7,000 languages in the world and according to a new poll, the Nigerian accent is the 10th sexiest English accent in the world. CNN did a recent poll on Facebook and above is how people voted. I love the way French people speak English sha...
I wouldn't dispute this claim. I noticed that my accent is far better than most people's here in the Uk. Thanks to some of the good schools we have in Nigeria. Even though i feel we can do better and improve our educational structure. But is this something to be proud of? really? How long are we going to live and act according to the white man's standards? What about our indigenous languages???
Why won't we be 10th, when some ppl speak all d other nine rolled in one. Those that travel to d UK come back with all d other nine. A sentence from their mouth will contain a billion accents all for forming! Naija I hail.
Nice 1. Our spoken English is sexy. I actually realised that when I listen to south Africans. SA English is terrible with varied accents. Nigerians we rock. Who would have thunk it.
its true.. just got bank from america two days ago.. everywhere i go, american will say, i love your accent.. and i was always shocked.. i was like really, thanks..
Good schools in Nigeria gave you a better accent? I suppose you mean better grammar, there is no such thing as a bad accent just bad grammar So what school did you go to then?
Ipho, na rubbish be Ghana accent, immitation, that is why they can not be rated because they are fake. We Nigerians speak our English with our native tongue
If I hear #tah# sexy what? Another of enslaving us into leaving n forgetting our own local dialect. They are deceiving us into thinking our English accent is sexy. #indeed# why didn't they pick any of our 3 local dialect of sounding sexy.
I live in Forsyth, GA. Anytime I speak, they'll say I love your accent and my will say she's Nigerian. Anytime I say something, somebody will like say, I like the way you pronounce the word. Really nice to know our English accent is rated tops, maybe that's what attracted my husband to me.
Look at these peasants! They are not proud to speak their indigenous language, but they are proud to speak the language of their enslavers and colonizers. Ha, I cry for Africa!
Get a life! Stop seeking recognition for all this unwarranted waste of space! Linda, U must be damn stupid for posting this, since U've refused to take subtle advice from ur readers to stop posting such comments that strain our eyes!!!
There is nothing like a Nigerian accent. With the hundreds of languages we have here..each intonation translates differently. An hausa man speaking english and a yoruba man speaking english sound vastly different so they should explain well jor

But the same Nigerians are not proud of their native English accent. They would rather speak in some very funny sounding tongues in the name of speaking like whites. Imagine pronouncing God as Gord, or one worn...
U knw I can't believe some people saying we don't deserve to be on this list...why don't you guys hv any love for your country.say and think something positive about it for once!!! Way to go Naija
Accent? What the fuck, we need light, water, road and hospitals. What's with this bullshit accent. Shame on this country. People are so so easy to fool. Please don't go feeling good about yourself outside nigeria with this rubbish. Amazing how naija no get shame. Best english accent? English na yours native language. You people are so dumb. It's like saying Americans have the sexiest igbo accent. Or Yoruba. You can only find such from the countries that English is first language, you bush men and women from Africa. Yeye people. Make Una go bush find banana chop jor
oh really? They like the way the Yorubas call 'Hope', 'Ope' or the Anambras call 'Million' ''Mirrion'' or d Hausas call 'Fire' ''Pire'' or Efiks call 'Jack' ''Yack'' or Ijaws call 'Jack' ''Zack''.. Wia do i start wia do i stop.. Whoever polled this was high on something really cheap
U get to knw true Nigeria accent when he travelled out of Nigeria. Allow Nigeria man go Ghana by d time he returns, d accent Na A1 as if say him don go Uk come bck.
Who told u dat, Igbos pronounce R as L, e.g Brother as Blother, Bring as Bling. While Calabar J as Y, Jacob as Yacob. Yorubas, CH sound as S. Church as Sosi. Most Nigeria have lapses pronunciation a particular alphabet, but when polished the accent cover up for dem
Anon stop hating this isn't the first time, it has always been like that since inception that Nigeria has the sexiest accent in Africa... Evn last year CNN rate it that NG has the sexiest accent in Africa.
Now I wonder why our brothers and sisters abroad even those right here in naija will be stressing themselves to speak through their nose.....mtchewwww....accent or no accent we need a change in Nigeria... MOMENT WITH ZOE
i so believe this, on my first trip to the US i was pleasantly surprised when a shop attendant asked me what country i came from, when i said Nigeria( with a little sense of foreboding and getting ready to be defensive) she smiled and said, 'oh i love your accent' i was sooo proud.lool. Though i wonder if she was using my head in foresight because, i bought alot more than i intended in the shop. but oh well, i had a proud Nigerian moment!

~BADOO OF COVENTRY
wow nice
Mourhino's accent nko? Bcos I lerveee his accent!
wow nice

There's no such thing as a Nigerian accent. English spoken by a Yoruba man sounds very different to that of an Igbo, Hausa, Calabar etc
And with all the fake English/American/Nigerian accents most people use, there's no universal Nigerian accent, and whatever it is ain't sexy.
Kimmy*****
Up naija...yes
Naw dats dope
NAw datS dope
Naw dats dope
Good to know.
Why won't we be 10th, when some ppl speak all d other nine rolled in one. Those that travel to d UK come back with all d other nine. A sentence from their mouth will contain a billion accents all for forming! Naija I hail.

And where d fuck is ghana the highest phonetics speaking africans
yAY!, i hope my fellow Naijarians will stop faking American and British accents, ours is sexy!

Hey! How manage?
Including Hausa accent? Peonouncing 'p' as 'f' and vice-versa. Not to talk of the 'H-factor' among we yorubas.
The only two english words the Igbos can pronounce well are 'Money' and 'Container'
So finally we can b rated high 4sumtin..well b mi love d British accent wish I can tlk lik dem
Owk, but is it Calabar,Igbo,Tiv,Hausa or Yoruba version?
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
Hmmm na wa o...at least all our celeb phonetics earn us something.*stroll away*
Cool but how does the sexy accent make shekau understand to stop killing our people? Lolz

British accent always rocks for me. We (Naija) tried. A poll held some yrs back we still made 10.👍
We were number Four, Patience became First Lady, we dropped Six Points. Evict GEJ Today. LOL
Who compiled dis rubbish
Up naija

It should be among the top 3 self....ma take will be British as 1st, French as 2nd , Nigeria as 3rd nd then d others. ...
Sharrap, na those igbotic and yorubatic dey sexy pass.
Good schools in Nigeria gave you a better accent?
I suppose you mean better grammar, there is no such thing as a bad accent just bad grammar
So what school did you go to then?
I love the Irish accent tho... And Sophia vegaras ascent
Ipho, na rubbish be Ghana accent, immitation, that is why they can not be rated because they are fake. We Nigerians speak our English with our native tongue
They can not differentiate, it is only among us we know the diff
If I hear #tah# sexy what? Another of enslaving us into leaving n forgetting our own local dialect. They are deceiving us into thinking our English accent is sexy. #indeed# why didn't they pick any of our 3 local dialect of sounding sexy.
no wonder ladies always trip for my accent...I tot it was a joke o...ok now
They are talking about sexiness, not good accent. You cant have a better accent than the owners of the language. This is why many of you fail exams.
Fake people
I live in Forsyth, GA. Anytime I speak, they'll say I love your accent and my will say she's Nigerian. Anytime I say something, somebody will like say, I like the way you pronounce the word. Really nice to know our English accent is rated tops, maybe that's what attracted my husband to me.

This is so true, in the UK people keep telling me they love my naija accent, but naija people with their complex can't value what they have
American accent no enter levels. LMAO
We no dey carry last.am not surprised DAT Nigeria is in da 10th position cos I know we r good we it has to do with english
Aristo oshi.

In my opinion, the sexiest is Italian. Their English alone can turn a lady on...
