Kanu's Accent by Knight1(m): 8:16pm On Nov 15, 2009
Before i start, lemme state that am a big fan of eagles captain. But the guy's spent at least 13 yrs in europe and his accent is not comparable with even mikel that went yesterday e.g Peak ad. 'i was ditameaned to never gifup' =i was determined to never give up'
What can cause that kin tin?

Seriously ooo. I don't get this mentality. Why should his accent change because he's spent time in Europe. WTF? Only Africans do this, Americans will go to Nigeria and not try to learn the country's accent rather Nigerians will be conforming to their foreign accent instead of it being the other way round. This inferiority complex is just retarded. No wonder Africa is not moving forward, I pity this poster.  angry tongue
Re: Kanu's Accent by Nobody: 11:43pm On Nov 15, 2009
There was this joke about Nigerians being the only people capable of just flying over the USA and/or Europe by plane and picking up the accent.
Re: Kanu's Accent by Sagamite(m): 1:21am On Nov 16, 2009
What a stupid, degenerate brain.

So what is wrong with a Nigerian accent.
Re: Kanu's Accent by Dclique(m): 2:20am On Nov 16, 2009
Once again another funny thread. This should go to jokes
Re: Kanu's Accent by chidichris(m): 2:23am On Nov 16, 2009
@idiot,
are u a student of oxford university? be reminded that we are no longer in the days of speaking and writing english alone you have to speak and make some financial ability.
please be frank, will you choose to speak queen's english without money over having enough money and not knowing english.
the mikel you mentioned was in a south african school sometime before proceeding to europe.
pls look for another topic or be a good listener.

You guys are getting me wrong. Nothing wrong with nigerian accent if you are speaking right phonetic grammar. But when u still pronouncing V as F, then there is an issue

PS. I DON'T HAVE ANY INFERIORITY COMPLEX COS I SPEAK IMPECCABLE ENGLISH WITH MY NATURAL ACCENT!!!

Re: Kanu's Accent by Nobody: 12:23pm On Nov 18, 2009
There is something called "Interference of The Mother Tongue"

It is more dominant in some people
Re: Kanu's Accent by nazzyon(m): 9:18pm On Nov 18, 2009
Part of the problem brought upon us by the colonist.

If Nigerian's stick to our mother tongue non of these would have happened. Papa na interpreter go dey make him money.
Re: Kanu's Accent by chidichris(m): 9:20am On Nov 19, 2009

Re: Kanu's Accent by Knight1(m): 6:18pm On Nov 19, 2009
@chidichris
a lot of nairalander's are insultive, i get that, but for ppl to exhibit their lack of etiquette, lack of morals, and faulty upbringing , thats a serious prob.
I merely expressed that someones english should have been more polished than it is without any malice so i don't get how its your biz!!!!
I have not and will never bring shame to my family, though clearly for you, thats a pastime( for which you can't be blamed since it appears you got a terrible background)
plus money aint everything, since you seem to lack the knowledge of that too!!!!

C.A speaks English. He started attending English classes 3 months before he became Chelsea manager. His English has improved a lot since then.

Re: Kanu's Accent by denzel2009: 11:21pm On Nov 19, 2009
I can relate with the poster a little, there are somethings Kanu shd have dropped by now irrespective of how wealthy he is.

Pls lets not stoop low to be insultive, its just an opinion he wanted to share.

Anyway, I still love my naija accent wink

It wouldn't be inferiority complex if you hadn't brought the "staying in Europe for over 13 years" comment into it. You implicitly said that because he's lived in Europe, he should sound better, which also infers that the Nigerian accent he had pre- and post- living in Europe sounds bad.

That's what it sounded like. undecided
Re: Kanu's Accent by IYANGBALI: 8:45pm On Nov 20, 2009
The truth must be told kanu,s english accent is bad no matter how rich he is he should go and learn from his broda mikel obi who went there just yesterday some people are just lazy when it comes to learning.Kanu is a disappontment in that area
