What people don't know is that you can not speak English better than the native speakers. Just like oyinbo man can not speak my nigerian languague better or sexier than me.

But don't try pidgen. it is the sexiest creole in the world. even Ghana  people trip when we start rapping the thing

Ghana people na mumu children,  forget those mugu's,  them think say na them speak english (brofu (english in ghanain)) pass god.

But just to correct you english is not even a white mans language,  History has it that the english language was first developed in africa,  Go research on it.

i have traversed the lenght and breadth of naija and i am quite familiar with a few languages. from my own point of view, i hold it firmly that the yoruba manner of speech is without doubt the coolest. but of course, we are talking about refined urban language use here.

men, those lagos boys dey yarn. forget story. their pidgin is without doubt an expotable international commodity. did it occur to you that naija boys in London speeak almost flawless pidgin complete with yoruba flavour? even better than some resident nigerians?

pidgin isn`t pidgin with the yoruba flavour. gba be.

file, awon boys dey jive.

I know the najia accent may vary subtly, BUT as a whole it is a turn off!
I especially hate it when guys have the nigerian accent with the american lingo! Lips sealed Lips sealed Lips sealed

@ OgaMadam

Abeg Ogamadam make you chill,  Wetin you dey talk. Na your people you use your mouth scatter like that?? ,

Nigerians wey them born and breed for area all have problems with the english language,  Yes we already know,   alittle problem with certain alphabets, heavy diphthongs, and problems with phonetics,  But please do not bunch us all togerther or try to tag us,   We dey try jare,  Because say them born you for yonder na ehn make you dey mis yarn like this abi, I no balme,  Na God na know why ehn no give lion horn,  If you like when you fallin camp, go dey talk all this oyinbo "want to want to" see as them go use you shine,

@Knotty

Knotty,  I really love what you said about our pidgin being an export,  that will be awesome,  (just imagine were oyinbo man dey quote one sentence in pidgin, )

But Do not be deceived by all those yeye pidgin wey una dey carry pose for oyinbo people for J.D,  We dey happy say una dey try O! keep representing,  but my guy if you enta Nigeria with that thing wey una talk,  sorry u don loss.

I just visited home (Port-harcourt "born, bred and will die") not too long ago,  Wetin I use my ear hear,  even winch sef go think say na incantation,  wetin people dey prophesy with their mouth,  you go think say them dey speak in tongues,  And when it comes to pidgin,  yoruba pidgin takes a back seat in Nigeria,  Ask any true Nigerian,  How you go call yoruba pidgin when you never talk of warri pidgin,  let alone port-harcourt kunu, 

Nigerian accent for normal english fit no sexy o! I no drag but our pidgin english (when spoken with a little polish) will leave any first timer speachless,  It is just pure genius,
 

Nna men, take it very easy O! Omo one love,  anyhow them use do am Nigeria people still dey communicate,  wedda e sexy or not. Grin

don't mind all those fake people that inferiority complex dey worry. The can't even appreciate their own langugue and they think they can speak English sexier than the british or americans.

That is our problem in Africa. We do not appreciate what we have and its such a shame

the naija accent is pretty much sexy, especially when u start pickin up 'em foreign accent, it's a blend thats really enjoyabl to hear.most of my colleagues at work always go yea.,'u'v got this really posh accent,wer u from mate? , it' really sumtn to be proud of because i get these passes every other time, plus i'm ibo, but was born in the south west, wer in my honest opinion, people tend to pick up alot more proper intonation.than anywer else, north & east of nigeria,  no offences meant, but i'v lived in these other areas, & the more reason why a lota people tend to have the spotlight in your direction especially when u from places in the south-west

I'm Igbo, but I gotta say the Igbo accent is TERRIBLE! Love the hausa accent,  especially when the speaker is literate. Yoruba's kool,  s'long as it ain't too thick. There's this one girl I know- drop dead gorgeous. When she speaks you can hear a faint "h" before the vowels. Now THAT is SEXXXXXXXXXYYYYYYY!!!!
