So this is where our society has gone to? Debased mentality
Foreign bank account.
Foreign property.
Foreign college degree, Foreign wares. Its gotta be foreign to be really good.
Foreign accent as against your own accent.
We keep our money abroad, bank abroad, and print our money, we ask Scotland Yard to help us solve a crime.
Our president and VP go vacation abroad. Then we are not proud of the way we speak. I am ashamed of this generation. We cannot date a man/woman because of their accent. This is a wasted generation. People are judged by their accents not by their wits and integrity.
India and China are making inroads in every sphere of human endeavor with their accents and the world is responding to their astuteness and ingenuities- not accents.
A Russian Mathematician, Grigory Perelman who is a non-English speaker, solved the greatest mathematical problem with his accent.
Point of action/correction. It’s Igbo not Ibo. Can you call Gboko -Boko, Gbenga-Benga, Igbobi-Ibobi, Igbinedion-Ibinedion? please do not lighten up your accent to mispronounce in order to please a non-native speaker. I should be the one to tell you how to pronounce Onicha not Onitsha, Oka not Awka and Enugwu not Enugu . I hope these will not be construed as having an accent.
Wole Soyinka won his Nobel Prize with Naija/ Yoruba. I see Kofi Annan everyday on TV. Why are we so much obsessed with this accent? I tire Oh

i think people are just trying to talk about what accent they really like and why. I don't think thats a bad thing. As long as they do not judge people on their accent.

I wish. I'm in school of hard knocks . don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that your accent identifies you. Americans cannot hate their accents. Why is it diffifernt from Naija people? Copy cats. I got no problem when an American born Naija tells me that he/she does not like my accent, but I will battle a Nigerian, born, bred, and buttered in Naija who tells me that. No applogies.

Some people's voices are sexy and some people's voices are not sexy. It's not always down to accent. My impression of Nigerian accents and voices.I can't pick out the different Nigerian accents but I think that most Nigerians tend to be louder than English people. Some Nigerians have quite fierce sounding voices to me. Two Nigerians can be talking (in English or own language) and I think they are having an argument but they are not Some Nigerians, especially women, have lovely 'musical' voices. Some are quite hard to understand because of a heavy accent but most are no problem. I know that sometimes they have problems understanding me too. They say English people talk too fast  |

people please don't confuse issues here. the poster asked if nigerian accent is sexy. he is not trying to diss niija accent. but i can see that some posters in this thread have changed the topic into a good and bad thing which is very very sad.
What is wrong with nigerians sef. Why don't we like what we are
