I was in a conference video meeting with about 20+ other people on zoom and we were gonna introduce ourselves. Immediately I started speaking (with my normal Nigerian accent), the host (a Swiss lady) started laughing all through the 30 secs I spoke about myself. I guess it's cause of my accent.

I will have to disagree with you on this brother.

First of all, we don't have a Nigerian accent as groups in Nigeria speak English in very distinctive ways... so which one is it that Oyinbo find attractive, Buhari accent, Obasanjo accent or Orji Uzor Kalu accent?

This point I am making is the same for England that has got many different accents, are you telling me people are rating a Scouse accent the same they would rate Prince William accent?

KosiGee:



Ay spoke with a clear and an understandable voice. He pronounced his words well. What is wrong with that. Anyone could easily understand what he was saying. I don’t believe that he must try to sound very Nigerian whatever that means to express himself.

Nigeria way of speaking varies...Sanusi Lamido communicates well, Chidoka Osita communicates well, Donald Duke and Peter Odilli all communicate well. Osita Chidoka’s accent is different from Peter Obi’s. Both are from the same state and educated in the same region. Sanusi differs from Ganduje. Tinubu, Fashola, Fayemi all speak differently.

Ay is different from Bovi. Basket mouth is different from Okey Bakassi.

People speak the way that is convenient for them. Being able to hear them and understand them is what matters. Ay was not faking the accent in my opinion. He was clear and understandable.

PEOPLE who do such feel insecure and less of a human.
I speak my Native Dialect everywhere. I speak it to my relatives and spouse.
In fact, I once taught IGBO Language in Downtown, Los Angeles.

One Day, I visited Nigeria with my spouse, and my DAD asked me, how my accent & and that of my spouse had remained the same despite all these years, that he taught the moment people relocated, they dropped many things including the way they spoke.
I laughed and said, it's better I learn and hear what they are saying than 4 dem to understand everything I say with my people.

MEXICANS, in the US never teach their kids English.
They soak their kids in SPANISH. In fact, they play Spanish songs while driving. They do so because, they know their kids will eventually learn the English at school.
