The ozzband, save jonny, oda chinese and api birthday are all Yoruba accents. I noticed they have a habit of changing their Fs to Vs and deleting H from words that contain letter H while transferring those deleted Hs to words that have no H in them for instance a person with very strong Yorub accent will pronounce Hair as Ear  or will pronounce leaf as leave or Hose as ost No offence to Yorubas, am just saying what I noticed. 2 Likes |

For a start, the writer or whoever that posted this piece, started on a very faulty note.There's nothing like PRONOUNCIATION in English Language.It is PRONUNCIATION.But, one can say pronounce. One should be very careful before one jumps to conclusions, as many are wont to do here.And, regarding the accent of Nigerians, it's presumptuous, I think, to say that it's how the poster has depicted it.If anything, it can only be determined phonetically.But, as a linguist, I reckon The Nigerian accent-the accent of the 'exposed'-sits between British and American English. 1 Like 1 Share |

Do they speak English in those different countries?. Many countries even in Europe don't speak English.. For a business woman, all she needs to understand is numbers and have business acumen. Business is a universal language. We have several Chinese business men in Nigeria, yet we don't speak Chinese and they don't speak English and they are successful. justwise: |
