Though it's been ages I have sat to watch Naija Home movies, from the little I know and those old days of watching, I believe that the award goes to Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva hands down (unless there is someone new on the horizon undecided).

you guys forget ever eloquent, erudite and articulate Pete Edochie of the "Great Things Fall Apart", he remains one of the best in the industry. Olu jacobs, Yemi Blaq and Kalu Ikeagwu are also quite good.

For the actresses i would go for Joke Silva, Ego Boyo, Bimbo Akintola and Kate Henshaw.

Enyinna Nwigwe<Yemi Blaq<Kalu Ikeagu<RMD<Ramsey's not too bad
but my problem wiv him is that he sings his words tryn too hard not to
sound Nigerian n that 'sucks" real bad<Desmond tries too hard to sound
n act like RMD,speak's equally well tho,
Re: Most Fluent English Speaking Nigerian Actor by naliakar: 2:42am On Dec 05, 2009
Those who are fluent in RP or the Queens English pronunciation variety are:

Olu Jacobs
Michael Udokwu
Eucharia Anunobi
RMD
Uche jombo
Ramsey Nouah
Desmond Eliott
Bimbo Akintola
Rita Dominic
Yemi
Dakore
Kate
Clarion Chukura
Chidi mokeme
Chika Ike

Then there is this actor who always has a single catch phrase which he repeats through out most of the movies he acts in (different Igbo phrase in different movies) I don't know his name but he is very fluent in English.

Second Tier
This groups speaks well and fluently and have a ring of native language interference (supplemental) in their accentuation of English words. In truth this lacing of English with native flavor is what underlies the naturalness and easy flow of their speech mannerisms. makes their speeches very seductive.

Ini Edo
Genevieve
Omo
Patience
The Edochies
Tonto
Duru
Chioma
Kanayo Kanayo
Ohamenze
Emeke Ike
Justus Esiri

Here comes the Pretenders

Could speak fluently but mangle the pronunciation a lot out of a misplaced notion that pronounced hisses and muffled sounds are the closest approximation to British or American accents. This is the most annoying cast of pretenders to  English/Americanspeake: This group should be taken through  proper pronunciation again and told that sibilants do not fluency make when foregrounded. This group is chaired by Jim Iyke

Jim Iyke
Stephanie Okereke
Tonto Dikeh(Sometimes)
MikeEzuruonye
Mona Lisa Chinda (Thinks shouting out is god articulation)

by list was also based on the people that speak english WITHOUT forced accents. people who speak english not trying to sound like what theyre not.
genevieve to me sounds like herself and i dont find her english bad.
