The accent I can't stand is a Nigerian accent (usually strong Yoruba, Ibo or Bini etc) blended into what the speaker thinks is phonetics (which is usually an American accent with the four letter word punctuating every utterance, and the intonation swinging between the American accent and the Nigerian one ! It just hurt my ears. It must be hard work manually blending these accent for every utterance.

  I love the Ile-Ife accent, but that of Ondo ammuses-annoys me, Egba accent , very interesting. . . hausa very captivating  because it is so fast kind-of. . . . but sounds a bit violent, ( PARDON ME that is just my own opinion, no harm)

special beef for ondo (town) accent
