She has lived all her adult life in a certain location and it is only right for her to have accent associated with that locality. She doesn't need to change anything man.

What is wrong with you people.

Case closed. Next topic pls.

They are all from countries where English is not their official language.
English is Nigeria's official language and Mercy speaks English like a vegetable hawker.

the Indians have English as their official language, but have you heard them speak?

LesbianBoy:
So she is now comparing herself to 'ororo'. This one like to feel among. I am sure it's someone that told her ororo speaks English with an accent which by the way is not true

Ronaldo definitely speaks with an accent. He is not a native English.

While you do have a point, English language is not the first language learnt by many Nigerians. Their local language is often the first. The accent therefore comes from trying to speak the English language with the rules and intonation of their local language.

Also, even many o the so called native English speakers in the United Kingdom have an accent depending on their location. Don't even get started with the Scottish or Welsh accent.

Ultimately, an accent is not a measure of intelligence or exposure. People should not be shamed for it.

India is too far sef. Just listen to Scottish, Welsh, Irish or even people from Liverpool.

I wonder how people will be taking to heart what people that don't feed them, house them, pay their bills etc say to them.. Especially on social media..

Go to Instagram and read her posts. Forget the issue of accent and ready her write ups. She is intellectually barren. Spelling and grammatical errors litter everywhere. Even her thought process leaves a lot to be desired.

No dear
I don't think your mother did any job on you, I guess he left you for your father to train in both stupidity and whorring. Wash your market well (I mean that smelling hole) before you come to the public

Is that all you got?
That's too common, try and be more creative omo ale.
Meanwhile you just described your mother, what a bad child you are.

It is unfortunate that despite all that was spent on your education, you are stupidly defending a dumb illiterate.

How many celebrities on that same Instagram write or type good English?

Why are you picking on mercy?
Your mumu too do

Yes, and that is grammar which is a totally different issue from speaking with an accent, which is the topic of the thread. I actually know someone who speaks very well in English but is awful at writing in the same language. Errors everywhere. Many people have that problem, including some of those mocking her accent.

Hahaha reminds me of a guy that started copying a girl's foreign accent for reasons I still don't understand .

Worst part was, the accent sounded so funny I was trying hard not to laugh the whole time.

This happened two weeks ago.

Nigerians will grab any opportunity that'll make them sound "Americana".

I think that's silly if you ask me.

Don't mind them dear , some of them don't even know what is Good morning in their dailect .

All German speaks good English. So don't be surprise ,.same.with french people

Rooney speak Spanish too
I once heard they are allowed to choice any language they want to learn in primary or secondary school as a compulsory course because must Europeans speak different languages.

My educational degrees alone stands higher than the degrees of your father (mkpi) your mother (chiwawa) and all your entire nuclear family combined. Keep speaking English with empty stomach.

Hypocrites like you will have no problem listening to a northerner or south westerner speak their accent, but when it comes to Igbos you start waggling your tails like a horn.y bitch

Carlo Ancelotti, Jose Mourinho, Zidane, Unai Emery all speak bad English

I always laugh so loud when I watch Carlo and Emery granting press interviews.

Kobicove:
Having an accent is not something to be ashamed of

It is oga... I am not talking about written english but the oral one... Come to think of it, if not that she's brainless c.ronaldo and every other players that speaks bad english or english with accent, it's because english is not their first language unlike we Nigerians english is our first language and if you can't speak english then your schooling is a waste of time and money because english language is compulsory in Nigeria. Besides there is something they call syllables and oral english right from secondary school which is compulsory too. So stop saying all these to justify nonesence. Forget and be realistic
Fact nigeria even have a personal english called the broken english aka pidgin before the ghanians picked it up.

spiceadole:
English is your first language, you should do better

English is not her first language. Her first language is igbo. English is her second language. For the British, English is their first language. You understand?

Goalnaldo:

I don't find it funny funny because it's understandable that the country where they grew up it's not their official language... English is Nigeria official language and it's just like saying pogba speaks french with accent or bad french won't it be a slap to his face? Ronaldo grew up in portugal and portuguese is their official language not english so the girl is just plain brainless comparing her english with ronaldo... Well I don't expect a brain from a BBnaija actress anyway

She doesn't owe anyone an apology for her accent,she's supposed to be proud of it

Funny you knew english is nigerians first language but you try to make point and act ignorantly... Well it's alright
I guess you are part of the people claiming Nigeria is bad but you forgot ignorance is the foundation of why it's bad not from the leaders alone but from everyone collectively and it's hard now to stay away from because it burrow dow to a lot of generations and only someone who think out of the box will move away from the burrowing circle.

There's nothing wrong with having an accent

Nna gi bu anumanu. Foolish child of a leprous pauper.

English with an accent or without an accent,we will all kick the bucket one day and leave the English language.india with English as there official language,how is there accent?to me as long as you are communicating and passing a message that's all.

My expectations aren't high from her, they are basic educational standards which she can't meet. Have you heard Akpabio speak? Or Nse Ikpe Etim? They both have accents but they speak proper English.
You listed people from French-speaking countries as standards in English. Is English their lingua-franca there? No. They probably learnt English as adults. Mercy learnt English from primary school, English is her lingua-franca and she still speaks like an okpa hawker. Her supposed education can not even show in her speech or thought process.

English is neva our lingua Franca, pidgin is.

Meanwhile who cares about English sef? Is English putting food on her table? English neva made her wot she is today. So, why would she care? Portable da talks like someone with fallen teeth still makes wave, how much more Rambo...
U just fussing over nothing.

Even u claiming English prof, how far??
