      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

    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???

    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.

    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!
