It depends on the region you are from. If you ain't British/America and you are condemning these accents then you are dumbo! The Yoruba Accents is fine to Yorubas, The Hausa accent is fine to Hausas so are all the other accents. It is normal not to understand the accent(or see it as awkward) of a tribe/region that isn't yours. If a Chinese speaks English you may hardly realised that is actually English, but that English accent is just fine with their fellow Chinese counterparts. The British(Where English originated from) are at better position to judge.

Hausa has to be the sexiest Naija language/dialect/accent.

Ibo is the absolute worst! So frigging aggressive!
Re: Most Annoying Nigerian Accents by Gbawe: 1:56pm On Oct 24, 2014
@OP.

Which ethnic Nigerian accent do you like then seeing as it appears you pretty much hate all of them? Why do you not find something better to do with your time instead of opening negative threads that only promotes fights and petty bickering.

@Mods. Do we not have a Nollywood or petty gossip forum? What is this silly thread doing in the politics section?

So do you think in your erroneous mind. Every language is unique and should be respected, pronto!
Re: Most Annoying Nigerian Accents by Sloan: 2:36pm On Oct 24, 2014
Your post is silly! I speak Yoruba and my English accent is perfect, thanks in part to my education in Nigeria in the best schools, often with a lot of British/American influence. Back then, Phonetics was taught in JSS 2. If you speak terribly, it is because you've not made the effort to learn. However, there are many people who are Nigerians, who do not have any taint of Western English accent but their English is still very clear. They don't speak through their nose and they can address an audience of English speakers comfortably without any kind of native interference in their diction.

Most importantly, English is a foreign language to Nigeria and is not superior to the Yoruba language or any other native language for that matter. What is important is that when you are in an environment where you need to communicate with others, you can get your point across coherently. So, get a job and stop writing all these nonsense about people.

it is impossible to have the same accent or dialect. impossible! and those that try to fake it, it is an unnecessary stress. after not being oneself for a while, one begins to go crazy just for trying accent that isn't yours. BE YOURSELF, THAT IS YOUR BEST!
