Una never see anything.

The grammer wey one geh knack on Monday for the car park wey I go ehn! I wept in spanish!

It was so fake and incorrect. People were just feigning attention to her as she was addressing the driver, we were all shaking our heads, hissing and observing the drama.

When the bus eventually set on the road. This geh phone rang and while she was still answering the caller, I SNEEZED!

Attention was drawn to me because almost every naughty minds in the bus knew what caused me to sneeze.

Of course, most sharp people chorus "sorry" and "bless you" in unison.

Few seconds later, I caught one guy updating about the "grammer and sneezing drammer" on Facebook.

There ris God o.

Longest time,hope you are doing good

wat is fake accent?nawa oo,so we no fit speak d way we like again nww!ramsey i just dey look u ooooooo!!

bankydd: In Hollywood most artistes can speak various accents..It's actually an advantage if you can speak various accents in Hollywood.. if you watch Hollywood films well..so why should it be a crime

They learn different accents to fill specific roles.

They are not not just 'forming', which is what Nollywood actors and actresses do, for the most part.

Ramsey u no get talk... Onwee gi itinye isi na otula okuko.. Period

Do we act movie or your so-called film in Nigeria? What we do here is outside drama. They are quite valueless to me.

This...this piece of garbage made it to the NL front page? Man...gone are those days when every thread of discussion made sense.

Airforce1: Rita Dummynic and toto decay are guilty of dis offence

Airforce! My pizza-face-always-hating-dark-skinned-ladies-nairalander! How have you been? I thought that you were flushed away along with Nairaland's 5 months data when our wonderful forum experienced some downtime back then. But I see you survived unscathed and resilient like the ebola virus.

Anyways, back to topic.....

@Post

I agree with Ramsey Nouah on this one. It reeks of inferiority complex when people force an unnatural accent out of their mouths especially when they have never lived outside of Nigeria for an extended period of time.

Aha aha... This guy Sabi Rita reach her family house ni oooo... Bros, I hail ooo..

londoner: Lol.....what a hypocrite. He is one of the worst for the fake British and Yankee accents.

stop postinq anyhow..tel me d movie he spoke wit dat accent?

If you must speak with a british accent,do it well don't use American words(eg elevator for lift,trunk for boot etc) and expressions!don't go about mixing things up. dumb girls especially!

No mind dem, na so dem go they form, whenever I listen to brilla fm (sport radio ) I just feel slapping the OAP 's head off especially if the news is about arsenal ...idiots kawai......

And how is it American actors never get the Nigerian accent right.For instance Babatunde in The Originals.

[/quotepls listen to john fashanu and tell me who is faking british accent between john and Rita]

FYI I'd kill for a british accent.I just love it.

I salute u bro,

WE ARE FREE SPIRITS.FREE TO EXPRESS OURSELVES IN WHATEVER WAY,MANNER OR INTONATION WE MAY FIND INTERESTING.

YES, IT MAY NOT BE YOUR ACCENT BUT IF YOU FANCY IT FEEL FREE TO AMUSE YOURSELF BY USING IT.

CFCfan:
Very well said! I don't understand why someone pronouncing English words correctly without an Igbo or Yoruba accent, is deemed to be faking an accent

That's because you're a stup1d 1diot. You must be one of those guys pretending to sound like the queen when you speak their language, are you not aware how stupid you sound when you do that? Are you not ashamed?

HandOfChukwu: That's because you're a stup1d 1diot. You must be one of those guys pretending to sound like the queen when you speak their language, are you not aware how stupid you sound when you do that? Are you not ashamed?

Sir, there is absolutely no need to be insulting. Just calm down.
There is a difference between speaking in a foreign accent, and pronouncing words correctly. The likes of Soyinka, Achebe etc speak English with the right tenses and pronounciation without sounding like a typical Brit or American

kai na true be that ooo

great664: Ramsey Nouah “I Don’t Have A University Degree, Nigerian Movie Stars With Fake British Accent Must Be Arrested”

One of the cutest actors in the Nollywood movie industry, Ramsey Oluwatokunbo Nouah has recommended jail term for Nollywood stars with fake British accent.

In a recent chat on Sahara TV, hear what Tokunko said:

“University degree or no degree, the phonetics on Nollywood movies is still very,very atrocious. It should be an arrestable offence (punishable by life imprisonment) for any Nollywood actor/actress that did not school in United Kingdom to have a British accent.

Polluting the atmosphere with fake accent is criminal ”

Do you agree with him?

Greensaint: If an actor takes the role of a foreigner in a movie, speaking foreign accent is excusable whether correct or fake. What I cannot fathom is a nigerian actor or broadcaster speaking foreign accent in a nigerian settings. Do we really despise our country this much.

Abi o.

Konjour: When did studying in the UK or the US become an excuse for speaking deceptively?

Why do we all have to speak like Britons and Americans?

Why haven't people who studied in Prague, Amsterdam, Paris, Dublin, Edinburgh copied the

accents of the Czechs, Dutch, French, Irish, and Scots?

I've never heard Glaswegians speak like the English, some scots don't even understand any

language other than Gaelic, neither can some spell their names correctly in English.

Never understood the obsession with fake accents. It won't increase your bank balance.

It sure won't increase 'your rep'. It won't save from Ebola either.

My elder brother's mother-in-law has lived in Baltimore for well over 2 decades but I do have to

listen attentively to her sometimes cuz her Yoruba is even more traditional than my mum's.

Be proud of where you come from. If you have to speak English, speak concisely and clearly.

Its pointless to speak in a way that the folks around you won't understand, unless you're a spy.

Ori e pe jare. I wish I could give you as many likes as I could.

makeitplain: If anyone speaks a foreign accent (american or british) very well, it shouldn't be a problem at all. If u have a problem with a Nigerian like u who has good spoken English, it must be that u are just jealous of that person.

However, I am not exonerating those Nigerians who speak irritating accent as putative British or American accent. We need to clarify that, I hate those too. But I hate those with bad Nigerian accent who are quick to castigate other Nigerians with better English accent as though they are hating their country just for speaking English the best way they possibly can.

Those who live abroad, most especially North America (US&Canada) know very well that u are at a significant advantage if u are able to speak English minimizing your African accent as mush as possible.

I just want anyone who is committed to speaking an improved accent by learning and understudying the native speakers not to be discouraged by some discouraging comments here cos it can be of good benefit for u somewhere abroad and in future.

Please, Read the comment by the poster (konjour) above

konjakonja: Rita Dominic of Constitution cresent primary school Aba AkA center mariah? She was born and brought up in Aba . There is God o stop sharing lienus

. LMAO @ sharing lienus. I actually listen to an interview she did years back and those were her words.

Scyllapatron: sometime ago, i was watching a nollywood movie with my colleague(British), it took my own explanation for my colleague to understand what they were saying.
the funny part is that they would be doing shakara with their fake phonetics.

That's why you cannot made a simple sentence correctly.
