All the shlt wrong in this country like Corruption, Lack of Infrastructure, Lack of Power, Lack of basic clean water, Indigence and All kinds of violence from ritualists to cultists, to terrorists etc are not a 'disgrace' but its Buhari's accent that pains you the most huh? It just makes you feel like your country has been reduced to garbage simply because Buhari has an Accent. Its so sad , i mean what have we done to deserve this punishment of a President who cant speak clear cut English. Even though we're not an actual English country and every tribe has their own language and all that but still 'Its mandatory for everyone to speak clear English because when God created this World he made English the Standard for all huh.

Bunch of halfwits!

People who are not native speakers of English , speak with an accent, have u heard a Chinese person speak English. we Nigerians with our inferiority complex, we think speaking English like the Queen, will almost make us white.

Hello Nigerians. Doesn't look good waking up to see this early morning insults from one person to another.
When a point is raised, can't we analyze it and come up with some positive results. The op brought up a point on the President's accent which is difficult to hear and I thought we should discuss how best he could improve it not defending him or insulting his person.

Nigeria accepted English as their lingua franca so we are not the same with Russia, Morroco, south Korea and so on.

The president can go for extra lessons with professionals to help him. Reminds me of an English king in popular (The King's Speech) who corrected an even worst problem.

Am expecting Nairalanders who are more knowledgeable in this aspect to discuss this issue and proffer solutions.

You don't really expect me to engage in mudslinging with you. Do you? I would rather stick to Nairaland order no. 2 which says: Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members... because, just like PMB I'm a law abiding citizen. I will iron the point out when you put your view forward in a civilized manner. Have a WONDERFUL day friend.

but u were very active and happy calling gej all sorts of names from drunkard ,retarded ,clueless and even slowpoke, you even made jest and called his wife sheppotetamus or whatever and called her all sorts of names anytime she makes a grammatical error, so what stops buhari from receiving similar insults in full measure ? Well whether u like it or not ,buhari is a big disgrace to this nation by referring to a nation as west germany in 2015 almost 30yrs after the walls came down. He should bring his street light neck and sit down in nigeria ,and allow his principal officers do the traveling if he can't express himself very well to the global audience. I don't think u know that each moves he make is been scrutinized and accessed by other world leaders and drinking of water every 5minutes shows lack of confidence. Even as old and sick as mugbabe is ,he doesn't drink water every 10minutes , abi buhari dey sick?



Nigerians are in for big disgrace, watch out for more to come.

I was confused too. We thought it was from the background. Please let osibade be representing him. Nigeria should upgrade our academic qualification for the office of the president. Buhari is a good person but he is academically below par.

I watched on SABC today when President Buhari addressed the congress at the African union.

His accent is ... terrible! I could barely understand what he said.

Even when the camera showed clips of the other delegates, they looked confused as Buhari was talking. And he had to stop every few minutes to drink water before reading further.

I admire Buhari's record but surely, he should be a figure helping government behind the scenes - and not a leader at the forefront. Most people would even need a translation of what he said to understand - the Hausa accent is so thick!

What do others think?

ibb and yar adua were fluent and eloquent when speaking at any international conference and they radiated authority moreover they too were hausas. The way and manner a president expresses himself goes a long way in determining how his fellow presidents will view him. He needs to work on his carriage ,kings and presidents are always trained on how to behave and he doesn't want that let him delegate this speech making to osinbajo

Can you PLEASE tell me what an accent has to do with 'carriage'?
Have you ever seen a picture of Buhari where he isn't standing tall and strong?
You started talking about accent and now it's babbling about 'how to behave'. What does his accent have to do with his 'behavior'?


Stop conflating issues and focus on important things. People who are being slaughtered by BH in borno are not interested in whether Buhari speaks with a crystal clear British accent or not

I see no reason why y'all are throwing insults on the other, the OP only asked a question at the end of this statement which is " what do you think"?.

Nigerians are so behind and tend to go against eachother with any single opportunity like they've been patiently waiting for it.

Y'all sucks.

This is how your Daura President, is embarrasing us publicly,the OP you are [b]refering to is not even a Nigerian but a South African[/b]. Even I a Nigerian can hardly understand the world that are coming out of his mouth.

. . .and whats he doing in a Nigerian forum - I thought they don't want to mingle with other Africans. He should go to their Zulu forum and drink there usual umqombothi and keep sniffing and getting high on the repugnant mess of their lord and master - the Zulu King! cheesy grin

and you sir, the super intelligent genius calling our President unprintable names, you should stop embarrassing your self publicly by minding your spellings!

its spelt " e-m-b-a-r-r-a-s-s-i-n-g"; and the other word is spelt "r-e-f-e-r-r-i-n-g"
