can't stand Nigerians or other Africans that fake American accents. I can understand when you kind of tweek it when your speaking to an America, but not when you try to convince another Nigerian that that's your "normal" relaxed accent. I also can't stand it when full grown Nigerians come to America and return back home with an "American" accent and refuse to drop it because "that is how they naturally speak". when i was in Nigeria, this one guy just came back from da States and all the locals were just amused by his "amazing" American accent. Me and my cousin were so embarrassed for him but it seemed the other folks liked it IMO, i don't think it's easy for a full grown foreigner or Nigerian to live in America and then acquire a completely American accent. It may become lighter than before, but it aint going no where. IMO, i think Nigerians sounder funny when they try to talk in American accent. They be killing it with the R's. lol! they sound better (MUCH BETTER) or at least less funny with their regular accent.
I agree wit u on that one!!!! alot of them come back to nigerian thinkin they r american jus because they been in the US for 5 years and they speak like one, BIG DEAL!!!i personally like a nice polished nigerian accent not when it sounds forced just natural, wth is the big deal wit nigerians and american accents anyway?if you have a nigerian accent and u live in america you are more intresting that way b/c people will always want to know where you're frm![b][/b]
