Even in in America and Uk that we have American accent and British accent, you still get different accents from each country when you go into details.

the way Nigerian girls based in Britain speak makes me want to puke

pleep:

^nooooo Nigerian girls speak too loud   and the way they say stomach is cringe inducing.  

lolz not me anyways

pleep:

? Nigerians have nice accents, or atleast white girls think so. So why the argument?

BABE!:

If you were referring to my post:

Who's arguing? Yes, we have nice accent(s), but which one is sexy again?

obo_man:

@ Babe, why you so negative?

pleep:

haha well [i]they [/i]think it is. And they think the world revolves around them, so who are we to argue?

obo_man:

This article says something quite positive about Nigeria, that our accent is good, which I think we should be glad about. I hate it when we travel abroad and try to forcefully sound like white people, which to me is a form of inferiority complex'.  

I should be glad? **smh** They never said our accent was good btw. They said it is Sexy. Big diff.

Who are the "we" that travel abroad and fake accents? Well, I don't see anything wrong in "faking" accents sef. As much as I dislike American accent(s), I still fake it sometimes (Don't worry, I sound good ).  Kini big deal. Inferiority complex ko, Superiority duplex ni.

If a British man travels to Nigeria, and try to forcefully sound like Nigerians, you'll still call it Inferiority complex?  If you hear an American babe in Nigeria blowing 9ja accent, won't you be fascinated? Abeg cut the BS jo.

BABE!:

I wouldn't describe Nigerian accent(s) as sexy. I don't even think those CNN people know what sexy means. But then again, the word 'sexy' is subjective.

Most of us celebrating the victory of seeing our country's name on the list, are even confused sef. We should ask ourselves, WHY NIGERIA? Is it because we are the most populous? When AFRICANS talk to "foreigners", don't we all sound alike? What's the elaborate difference? Africans sound like Africans.

That was how "they" inserted President Goodluck Jonathan's Picture (as number 34) on the list of Hottest presidents. What a joke!

@babe, I said you negative because you said it's because we the most populous( we all over the world). Indians, Chinese, Caribbeans also travel a lot but weren't in the list. And @' Africans  sound alike' , would you say Jonathan's accent is the same as Jacob Zuma's accent? I  agree with you to some extent that we share regional accent with our West African Neighbours like Sierra-Leone, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Benin and even Cameroon.

Opps! It's all mis-communication's fault hun.   I meant populous, asin most populous in AFRICA; not all over the word.

mithel:

i think thats a big lie,there is a difference between when a kenyan,rwandan,kenyan,zimbabwean,n the rest talks compared to when a nigerian talks.t a joke!  

emmatok:

Actually Nigerian accent is sexy and cool when spoken  softly.

Listen to how Lagos boys(Igbo, Yoruba and others) yarns,

They have a way of mixing, English, pidgin, Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa in one sentence.

e.g Omo Apia i dey go home joor.

LOL--- @ when spoken softly.

I don't mean to be redundant, but please what's sexy in saying "Oyel" instead of "Oil"--- Rhetorical question.  

obo_man:

@babe, so what happened, i tout you said u fancied me?

I know some guys who speaks a kind of village naija accent and all these white chicks like the way they speak. It was surprising but now I am used to it.

I just want ppl to realize that what is cute or beautiful or sexy in white dude's perspective is almost opposite of what a typical African (Nigerian) considers cute/beautiful/sexy. What is exotic to us is garbage to them and what is garbage to them is exotic to us.
