I think the Southern Africans have the best African Accents in Africa,  the Botswana, South Africans, Zimbabweans, Malawi etc
I just love the way they speak

I love the Nigerian accent especially if the Nigerian is well polished and Educated like Samido Lanusi, Dizeani Allison etc

but the Southern African Accents rocks more!

Nothing beats a Nigerian accent. And you're right, it's even better when the accent is polished and neat.

Namibia,Malawi and Kenya for me.Goes for when they are speaking English and their native languages.

SA comes close.

yr right about Malawi and Namibia (southern Africans) but not Kenya. .Kenyan accent sucks!!

@onila,
what do you mean by a well polished nigerian accent like that of sanusi lamido

a nigerian accent is a nigerian accent even though it varies throughout the country
i hope u dont mean a nigerian accent mixed with a little western because that points to one thing - inferiority complex

Exactly @ bolded

I love the way Zim people talk. If a Zim guy seduces you, you'll have to be very strong to be able to resist him. 

OP,
What constitutes a 'best' accent?

Ghanian accent ain't too bad especially the Twi people.

I'm asking the same question too.

I've noticed that some people base their definition of best or sexiest accent to those that resemble foreign(American) accents. Why is that so?

None of the countries mentioned above speak anything close to the American accent. Southern Africans just have their own peculiar accents. I particularly loooove the Zimbo people and how they speak!

It's more about the tone and not the accent. The lighter the tone the better it is.

Kenyans speak good english but i prefer the southerners

S.Ǟ? Kenya? Malawi? Ghana? Those irritating accents? Only Zim accent is acceptable, the others have annoying accents ǡŋ₫ words are pronounced Ŝ☺ that they sound different from what they actually mean

S.Ǟ, do you mean the Zulu or the Afrikanns? Cos they are far from sounding alike, ǡŋ₫ the Afrikanns sound better

Most East africans sound like educated Northerners to me

Naija got the sexiest, even CNN acknowledged that, I just love the average Nigerian accent, ¢ð₪ be twisted into Ŝ☺ many different accents, other African countries don't have that flexibility

safarigirl:
Naija got the sexiest.

Lol.

For me, it's Swahili

SWAHILI taifa for sure

Liberians and West Senegal.

There's no competition, Nigerian accent is the best..

The extra stuffs like: oooh, arghhh, hmmmm etc. give it that extra flavour..

Mrs.Chima:
Liberians and West Senegal.

Liberian accent.
They sound like old 19th century slaves in America. I expect them to say "massa" at the end of each sentence. LOL

Why are you hating

Mrs.Chima:


Why are you hating

I'm not hating. I'm just pointing out that Liberians sound like they're from the 19th century USA.

Sureeee.
