Na Wa o Una sef can talk too much she na her fault say she they speak like that?She got her Job because of her accent she is making it now becos of her accent and She will continue to make it becos of that accent so why the beff now.If she was speaking normally(since una say na fake she they speak)did you think she would have been on t.v or if you guys will know her?she's trying to be diffrent and unique in her own way and you guys are beffing her
As long as the accent is paying her bills make she carry go if you don't like it change your channel no be by force.Haba if she dey blow bomb una go complain imagine person abuse Kanu English.

na wa o, the gel is doing her thing and we're here causing a ruckus about it hmmph!

@semid
wot set were you?know all d ppl u mentioned!


Never knew there were many ex-ISL peeps on Nairaland--------------------I thought they were only on that social ''gossip and "amebo" site called facebook---------LOL. Netotse,sorry I'm a bit stingy with ''personal info'' but if you wanna know me better, holla me on YIM.

Back to topic-------Adaure Achumba accent is as fake as Pamela Anderson's boobs and-------------------I repeat she talks like someone who has faeces in her mouth.----------but truth be told I think it's her accent that got her her present job cos the babe's broadcast intellect is next to zero, u know sey e get some kain jobs wey na fone u go take land am-----------------------any how sha,good luck to her.

trutlakT YOU ARE REALLY A TRU TALKER  YOU JUST SAID THE RIGHT AND TRU THING

@suze.u dont have your info ryt.i knw her and her family.she went to school in america and lived there for ten years.workd in ABC network and in CNN chicago before silverbird recruited her from california.and as a reporter u are trained in a certain mannerism.i belive her accent isnt fake she is d most down to earth person i hv ever met.her family is very nice , crazy and very funny u nid to hangout wit them to knw wat i mean.and she was my senior in skool.bliv me i knw wat im saying

 

hmmm. . . .so she went to ISL? dont recall her tho i was her senior anyways

the few times i have heard her she has come across as fake!

glad to see a lot of ISL peeps here, was beginning to think we were extinct

Yeap-------She went to ISL and She had two younger bro's a class and 2 classes her junior respectively in ISL.
ISL guys are only on facebook o, Na there dem dey camp 24/7------------ the few I still hang out with are always asking me----- Wetin u dey always do on NL sef n I'm always like wetin u dey always do on facebook sef------------LOL

She is okay! question would really like to ask is, is she single ,married or engaged?   

u knw u sound like its beef, some1 said this whole nairaland thingy is to address personalities but u guys just gossip.and to answer your question she was'nt sacked i asked her sister and i was told she was doin an internship there.u said you dnt hv your facts wrong so how cum u dint state in your note that she spent up to 10yrs or more in America and moved back in 2007.u just made it seem like she just went to yankee and came back overnyt and started speaking oyinbo.since u knw so much bout her and her family and hv taken it upon urself to addresss her accent pls gv us d ryt yarns abeg.

hey i dnt want to start sounding like a big fan.wat im saying is if u hv a topic dont leave any detail out.banky W studied engineering abi or sumtyn like im nt sure.she studied mass comm and journalism its completely different.so now wats d issue.how do u intend to deal wit it cos dere is nothing on the surface of the earth u or i can do about it.the problem with most of us is when we cant do sumtyn or do it ryt we start condeming it.its either when she is on air u flip ova or turn off your T.V or go to bed.shikena,

The way adaure speaks has nothing to do with the fact that she studied mass comm.Speaking and pronouncing your words well is different from speaking with an american accent.You mentioned shes been in the u.s for like 10years and so she picked up the accent.Dan Foster is a radio broadcaster and has  been in Nigeria for over 10years now, but he still speaks with his american accent.Because he grew up speaking like that.

Adaure grew up here in lagos , finished her secondary education here. she grew up speaking with a nigerian accent.She spent some years  in U.S , shes now back in nigeria and then her nigerian accent is no more.

Why are we always nigerians quick to change our accent?Even in our own country

Her fonee is fake the same way every single Nigerian secondary school grad that went to college in the states. I am also guilty of this.  End of discussion.

If you finished secondary school in Nigeria and moved to America for college, you will agree with me.
When Nigerians talk to themselves in the states, the conversation is mostly in a Nigerian accent/pidgin. On the other hand, if you speak to an American, Courtesy demands that you speak in a way that'll prevent them from saying "hun" 5 million times.
As a result Nigerians switch from ibonics and regular American english to pidgin faster than you can say "eba".
When you come back home, people expect you to speak fonee so most people just go with the flow and speak fonee.
Mind you, you will not loose your original dialect/tone/Nigerian way of speaking. You only end up not using it.

It is only Nigerians who left when they were extremely "young" that can "claim" they lost their original accent.
It is not a big deal to "fonerize". We all do it.
The problem is that she works "on air". The shit sounds fu.c.ked up.

All she needs to do is to do what we all did. Gradually chip in a few pidgin words every now and then and completely LOOSE the fonee after a year in Naija.

studing in the US for 4 yrs does not make you pick an accent that is difficult to decipher by your average audience. i sincerely think she can change. true, it is irritating and and self styled.
