My expectations aren't high from her, they are basic educational standards which she can't meet. Have you heard Akpabio speak? Or Nse Ikpe Etim? They both have accents but they speak proper English.
You listed people from French-speaking countries as standards in English. Is English their lingua-franca there? No. They probably learnt English as adults. Mercy learnt English from primary school, English is her lingua-franca and she still speaks like an okpa hawker. Her supposed education can not even show in her speech or thought process.
akpabio get accent but Need Ikpe Etim?? Hel no

oga I am saying zidane doesn't speak any English even if its a poor one! he doesn't have any history in any English country ,he hasn't coached or played in England so English is not among any of his languages. So there's nothing like zidane speaks poor English,it's just like me saying you speak poor Spanish, does it make any sense?

Nigerians expect perfection from any person at the center.

Nne, nothing do you.

Always speak as you'd naturally sound.

It's a plus special if you're more enlightened on issues, widely read and speak with confidence...and that, anyone can do in any accent.

Your originality is special. Never lose it.

English is Nigeria's official language and Mercy speaks English like a vegetable hawker.

So if you lived and schooled in Owerri, why do you try to sound like an Owerrican?!

I don’t think you are being mocked for your Igbo accent, you are being mocked for trying to speak in a foreign accent despite your Igbo accent

Don't mind them it is called Inferiority Complex.
It is only in Nigeria you see both men and women that wants to speak American and British accents even when they've not stepped out of the shores of this country. Listen to our radios, television stations etc.. You wonder whether they never attended any training in broadcasting. Shioor.

Get well soon ok.

I won't follow the way of your mother, she clearly goofed giving birth to you.
No dear
I don't think your mother did any job on you, I guess he left you for your father to train in both stupidity and whorring. Wash your market well (I mean that smelling hole) before you come to the public

English is not her first language,she is Igbo,born and breed..
How then do you expect her to speak English without an accent?
By the way,EVERY ENGLISH speaker has an accent,including the English!

Is your problem her accent or that she can't construct good sentence in English?

Even though I will admit that her accent doesn't match her looks, but to mock her about it is a no no, no body is perfect.

I write business plans/proposals for people at affordable price

What has accent got to do with looks? One can speak good English regardless of accent.

Smh. Yhu people just like talking rubbish, who ever says yhur opinions matter though.

If she was forming accent in the name of being a celebrity now, yhu people will still be asking where she got the accent from, and even calling her fake.

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL YOU?

Hello Mercy you accent is poor accept it and work on it. Ronaldo was never from English speaking country so his case is far different from yours case born, bread and school in English speaking enironment.

Are you sure you actually went to university?

She has lived all her adult life in a certain location and it is only right for her to have accent associated with that locality. She doesn't need to change anything man.

What is wrong with you people.

Impression that they are? Maybe, your thoughts. Relate what you first quote with the subject matter. My message is simple, the UK as a whole including Ireland speaks English. You can tell where they come from in their accents. The way a scouser speaks is quite different from the way a native from Manchester speaks. Even though they are about an hour drive apart. That’s my impression.I hope you gerrit, if not fahgettaboudit.
