Seriously, what's with the fake American accents undecided. They are presenting to a Nigeria audience and not American audience, why change your accent? It's getting annoying.
Some even make use of the accent when speaking pidgin English, Smh embarassed

If you dont like the accent of the people you are spying on, then ask your boss to give you another assignment- maybe someone with a nigerian or carribean accent.

James bond wannabe, how pathetic.

You need to hear them on radio, "Oh my Gawd, Oh my Gawd!"

There is a way you can speak in a refined manner without faking, guess they don't gerrit.

As much as i agree with you to an extent, I'd also add that they try to speak with diction which is the correct way of pronunciation.

Fake accents thread bore me on nairaland cos it seems u guys mistake good English and right pronunciation for fake accent. They are trying to pronounce words d way dey ought to be pronounced and u guys are here hating. I'm sure y'all will stil complain if they use thick naija accent. Fake una free dem joorr.

I guess it has to do with the fact that we as Nigerians are still yet to appreciate our heritage. The fact that you speak with a foreign accent doesn't make you posh, it only means your are confused.

People would definitely complain, if dey don't portray such accent, dey would yell dat presenter is too local n he or she doesnt have a gud accent,i think dat covers d blunders dey commit,listeners get carried away n enjoy deir programmes

I think it has to do with inferiority complex. Some think without the American accent, they cant be good presenters
