I heard one man pronounce Fuse as “Fiss” back then in ladipo,his fuse got burnt,so he went around the whole ladipo asking for ‘fiss’ until he brought out the burnt out one from his car

Rivers has one accent, except immigrants deh form their own accent.
They may have different dialect but when they speak English, the Kalabari, Ogoni, Ikwerre, Opobo all speak English thesame way.
If you go to state offices in Rivers state, you can't differentiate them, but if an Igbo man is among them, you can easily single him out

EMILO2STAY:
rivers state does not have one accent, and you cannot differentiate and Igbo man from an ikwere man or clabari man when they speak English in rivers because Igbos alone make up ove 50% of population in the state. rivers state local language is divers and many. when you say accent do you mean the pidgin English or the native language?

richmond500:
that is not a Yoruba accent if they do not understand it in ladipo.
That's just how twisted his tongue is

agadez007:
so you meaning to say that I am a child and I don’t know Yoruba accent when I hear one?

Longpriq:
see as this one dey talk nonsense with pride... Do you even live in rivers state? How does an eche man sound? How does a kalabari man sound? How does an ikwere man sound? you just generalize your ignorance and pass it out to innocent nairalanders. People who have never been to rivers state would think you know what you are saying. River state has various tribes and each tribe has its intonation. But we are all rivers people based on the location we share together. If you find yourself in etche or like places you would not be able to differentiate them from the igbo accent

richmond500:
what you hear is not my problem, I am saying that if the Yorubas at ladipo did not understand the accent, then it is not their accent.
you Gerrit?

richmond500:
we learn daily.

richmond500:
This is my state, I wonder why you argue with me, ona problem for this Nairaland is that you people argue too much, even if people tells you the truth, you still find a way to argue.
Also igbos do not make up 50% of Rivers population, stop listening to that nonsense they tell you.

You could be Igbo and that is why you do not see the uniqueness in your accent as others sees it but as a Rivers man, I know when an Igbo man speak and I can differentiate it from an Ikwerre man, it's very simple.

Except they speak their different local dialects, but if the different etnic groups in Rivers state speak English, you can't differentiate it.
