They are all from countries where English is not their official language.
English is Nigeria's official language and Mercy speaks English like a vegetable hawker.

They there. Even those from English speaking countries have there accents. I bet you can barely understand when a Scottish man is speaking.

You said it all. Mercy reminds me of a slay queen who claims to be a graduate. Omoo, that girl likes yanga but can’t even converse in pidgin English.

Go to NYSC camps and listen to them, graduates o. They say nonsense with confidence.

For once, I will pitch my tent with Mercy Eke. First of all, she's a Nigerian. Secondly, she never schooled outside. He speaking with a local accent doesn't really matter as long as she gets her grammar correct. She's also very right about Ronaldo. Most of the superstars in the premier league can't speak English fluently and the fans don't even give a kettle's cover about that.

If she speak good English then what has her accent got to do with it,everyone cannot be John Fashanu...oh people want her to start faking her accent like other celebrities that went to UK for the first time in their 30s and 40s.

She speaks the common English. Your expectations are just high from her being a celebrity..

Thierry Henry is from same country as Zidane yet he speaks English well.... please don't tell me he stayed in Arsenal for so many years...he came to Arsenal when he was already good with English words

Pierre Aubameyang was born in France, a Gabon national, he never played for any English side until arsenal, have you heard him speak in English?

Olivier Giroud same thing....


lol bro if you stay in France for 10 years and learn French, you’ll speak like them cuz it’s your first time learning the language. The way you’d speak the French, even the Togolese and Gabonese would think you’ are from France. KDB and VVD speaks like they are Brits. In the case of Mercy Eke, it’s totally different because the English she heard while growing up was their local “Owerri-English”. She’s used to it, you can’t change her. It’d take a lot training, effort and dedication to remove that accent from her tongue.

That’s the problem, she can’t communicate in English! Although, I noticed that someone has been coaching her recently on how to cram some English words and sentences.

Whenever I see Mercy and the type of men she rolls with, I realized that most men are just dumb and low class. No elegant or sophisticated man will ever settle for someone like Mercy.

And am telling people don't have problem with the igbotic accent.....buhari have hausa accent but he use correct English words when speaking........mercy use primary school English words.

This what I mean ......saying sentences like "come and be going" thus just an example.


If she speaks primary school English, she tried a lot. I can tell yours is the nursery/kindergarten type of English judging by what you wrote here.

People are just funny. This is the inferiority complex that I speak about. You are mocking a black Nigerian lady because of her English accent, but you are mute when a white person speaks English with an accent, we blacks have serious issues.

The whites will never be as daft or lost as the blacks who not only mock those who can't speak the white man's language but also see those who don't worship the white man's God as doomed.

Those attacking her have very low inferiority complex. I have some people here who have lived in uk more than 20 yrs, even schooled here but still speak with their accent. That is their identity.
Even a Scottish man has different accent and his English is so out of this world.

Of all the things to worry about.
Misplaced priority.
Who perfect queen's English help.
Has it put food on your table or secured jobs for you.

In my line of profession here, I have seen people that will make you think if they ever went to school when they open their mouth.
The English man who employed them don't look at the accent or posh English.

Shame on you guys.

That's the inferiority complex we talk about that kept us in perpetual poverty.
Buhari is your president. His accent is wonderful abi?

Only foolish Nigerians mock others for their accents. Unless you lived in cities having people from different languages whereby English is used as a central language of communication, you won't escape having an accent.

Someone who lives in Lagos, Abuja, Benin city, PH etc might have less accents compared to someone who lives in Owerri, Enugu, Onitsha, Oshogo, Ado Ekiti, Ijebu ode, Birnin Kebbi, Gusau etc.

We all know that most Igbos speak central Igbo and have little interaction with people from other Nigerian languages except when they go outside Igboland, so Mercy Ekeh having an accent is understandable.

The same English that is a secondary language for most people in Nigeria?
The same English of which 99% of Nigerian speakers can't even make good sentences or grammar or pronunciation?

Mercy is naturally unintelligent. Her problem is not only diction, but she has a natural inability to be intellectually productive. If you notice, not only her limited lexicon, her dumb thoughts show that she's intellectually handicapped.

Go to Instagram and read her posts. You see grammatical and spelling errors everywhere.
It is unfortunate that despite all that was spent on your education, you are stupidly defending a dumb illiterate.
