imperiouxx: The same story we hear every year and none of our accent is used in any English dictionary word. Sorry, but the correct spelling is Amoeba and NOT Ameoba as you have written. We know you can speak jand and yankee accent but you obviously cannot spell. And yes, nothing wrong with 9ja accent as we pronounce it according to the spelling 2 Likes |

There is no single Nigerian accent. We have tribal and even dialectic accents. Ibo is not sexy at all ? It sounds like someone is fighting you. War is not sexy I think. 2 Likes |

iamswizz: they were talking about the way we speak our english Still at that, it also doesn't make sense, have you listened to a nupe man or a berom person speak English before? does it sound the same way a Yoruba or Ijaw man speaks? whichever way, it makes no freaking sense and its an ignorant article. |

cameronese: Still rubbish, the way Sanusi speaks is way different from the way soludo speak, does it make any of them not "educated" as you put it? their accent. Tinubu's accent when speaking English and that of Oshiomole when speaking English, do they sound same way? yet aren't both educated? abeg spare me the excuses jare! |

Black_Oyinbo: They are referring to a whole country called Nigeria, not a tribe in Nigeria, Yoruba accent does not represent Nigeria so what kinda comparison is that? |

engrtee: Pidgin as in? even at that, an Igbo man speaking pidgin and a Yoruba man speaking pidgin, do they sound alike? do they pronounce same way? is accent not from the way words are pronounced by people? |

honeric01: So which accent represents Nigeria?They're referring to the general Nigerian accent that's spoken by the educated class of Lagos, PH etc. It's neither of the tribal accents. |

Stop supporting mediocrity,speaking in the right diction makes u sound more intellectual,of course,by default makes u sound like d british/american. Besides,nigeria is too diversified in accent,perhaps that's d reason we couldn't make it to d dictionary. We just have to accept that,n stop being vehemently stubborn. Now,check dis out,instead let's embrace pidgin english,anyway it's creative. Forcing our idiotic and stupid accents,I'm sorry,I meant plentiful accents to one another ears will persist to cause d ugliness of tribalism. |

Accent of what language? Igbo? Efik? Bariba? Ibibio? Yoruba? Ebira? Egun? Hausa?  Trinidadian accent puts me to sleep. Good that Liberian accent is not mentioned. You could die laughing when you hear Liberians speak. Nice one overall. 1 Like |
