AIT, Channels TV, TVC News, et al.....Please, When will you dunces stop embarrassing Nigeria with your newscasters' outrageously fake foreign accents? You see a young lady who has clearly never left the shores of this country trying to sound like an American. Nigeria becomes "Nahjerra" and such nonsense. Why? Please stop disgracing us with this fake accent business. Trust me, it is VERY EASY to tell when the fake accent is employed by your news readers. They DON'T sound better. They sound STUPI.D. They make us cringe in embarrassment at their blatant fakery. So please stop it. If you must have someone that sounds foreign, since you suffer from inferiority complex, then get a Nigerian born and bred in one of those countries you wish to sound like, to read your news. Then no need for fakery. Please...we're begging....Tufiakwa. 1 Like |

Those guys irritate me no be small. How can a Nigerian Newscaster not be able to pronounce Nigerian names properly, especially Igbo names. There's this lady that co anchored that Fund Raising for Boko Haram victims. That lady was a disgrace to Nigeria, dunno whether she intentionally kept mis pronouncing Igbo names or she didn't know what she was doing. |

If you think Television stations own is bad, just listen to Lagos radio stations. You'll lose hope.   2 Likes |

tpiander:Just go on youtube, and you'll get your fill. Try Channels TV there. There's this newscaster guy who wears glasses, and he is just a disgrace. Clearly faking it. Funny thing is he actually seems to think he sounds great, not knowing he sounds absolutely pathetic. |

Rossikk:I switched off the television that night. You're right, I knew she was doing it intentionally and I found it condescending on the Igbo ethnic group cos it was our names she mostly mis-pronounced. I said to myself, how can this retard be forming Harvard graduate in front of people that can change her life for good or bad? For her to co anchor a convention of that magnitude, she ought to have studied and be conversant with the names of people she was going to call to the podium. Her co anchor was good, very good. |

Some of the broadcasters often seem ashamed to even pronounce local names and areas! But what d'you expect, most of them don't do simple research about these things. One on NTA (NTA?!!) pronounced François Hollande (French president) as Frankoys holandie!!! I fear fear o |
