Ikengawo: You can't learn a new accent. You can learn how enunciate better so that you're more understood across the board but you can't switch accentsU really don't know what u are talking about, u don't even know much about English in the 1st place given the quality of ur grammar here. U are saying rubbish stuff like it is scientifically impossible to learn an accent when there are professional accent coaches. Why do u think that most Europeans (e.g Germans, Dutch and the Scandinavians) speak English without strong accent like urs? they don't just learn to speak English grammar alone, they pay incredible emphasis on the accent. Hence the reason why they employ only native English Speakers as English teachers. Are they ashamed to be who they are? If u immigrate to an English speaking country.. u will be advised to visit language centers where u will be coached to speak English without accent as an essential part of integration (in short, how to speak their type of English) so if all these things exist and u are talking of scientific impossibility, u are scarily uninformed? 1 Like |

[quote author=some-girl]The only other people who'd recognize a Nigerian passport apart from fellow Nigerian travellers would be immigration officers, who you'd have to present to the passport to anyways. Hiding has nothing to do with being embarrassed by state of Nigeria. The ones who flaunt foreign passports do so for the benefit of other Nigerians (show off) and the ones who hide Nigerian passports suffer from inferiority complex.[/quote]The comment I most agree with, this is almost exactly what I was about to write, however I want to expound. I have never had any reason to feel like I should hide my passport and I have traveled around quite considerably. The point is no one will harrass u for holding a Nigerian passport except the immigration officers which u will have to present it to anyways. And I have never been treated badly apart from some extra checks sometimes, or extra questioning which never bothered me cos I always expected it. Little advice... Ppl, when u are travelling with Naija P and u seem to have been treated a little bit differently, the best way to handle it is to be calm and cooperative... In most cases (at least from my experiences) they will end up apologizing for taking ur time and even try to explain the reason why they are suspicious and bla bla. But sometimes, I see ppl immediately starting to argue with them loudly and claiming this and that right. Personally I think this is not the best way to act and it even makes u look more bad as a Nigerian, it doesn't matter if u are not guilty of anything, just behave properly. When they see how articulate, coherent and how intelligently u are answering and asking them questions, they will respect u. However, I have heard terrible exceptional cases of how Nigerians are treated badly without any justification but I hope never to experience such. 4 Likes |

He should have done this kind of thing when he is retired as a governor. That is when he can live his private life. Now he is living for Lagos State he should represent sport brand of his state or his country. If he loves football, why not cut the cake of Super Eagles' brand? 1 Like |

Godogwu: I don't think you have to change your accent in order to communicate in any English speaking country in the world. As long as you went to school in Nigeria ( which is an English speaking country btw) and [b]you studied Grammar and phonetics, you should have no problem communicating. [/b]There are so many examples in our society today; from onyeka owenu to joke silva, omotola, Genevieve nnaji, sanusi lamido, GEJ, Ngozi Okonjo iweala etc. most of these people have spoken on CNN, BBC and other international medias and not once has the interviewer said "pardon?", " could you repeat your statement?" Or anything of a sort because they speak clear and proper English.Do u think u are actually accurate with ur comments here? Now u are talking of grammar and phonetics? All these people u have mentioned here... let me exclude (Genevive and Omotola) have one time or the other sojourned abroad. And if Omotola and Genevive were not celebrities, they wouldn't speak such improved English they are speaking cos they still make international travels and appearances. And again,it will be very awkward for them to speak a foreign accent when they represent a Nigerian public office... Even Banky W an entertainer speaks Nigerian accent cos he represnts a Nigerian Brand but back in America he speaks American that's just it.. Now the group of people that obey the rules of phonetics the most in Nigeria are some of the News casters and I appreciate them, they are not adopting accent, they are just applying phonetics, even if they still sound Nigerian, they are not misplacing the stress on each words and that is the most important. But do u want to tell me that is the way u speak? U speak like a news caster with ur friends and families at home huh? and they wont ask u "wetin dey do am wey dey form? abeg open ur mouth well jare, wetin be baenk instead of bahnk (bank)" So that is actually our problem.. Its not about not being proud of who u are, it's about ppl thinking u are forming and the next thing is to tear u down. |

50calibre: All these people saying if you don't fake an accent, you won't be understood, don't know what they are talking about.Okay there u said "detect" that means they sound more american now that u only have to "detect" elements of Jamaican or some carribean inflection in the way they speak for u to know tha they don't originally have the american accent.. most of them do not speak english exactly in the accent the folks at home speak.. About the Scottish accent.. Look ppl, why are we over-whipping this issue, What u have said there can not in most cases apply to Scots that have lived most or many years of their lives somewhere else. So that is not a point here. Somebody also referred to Italians.. well, there are many Italians in America that sounds very as american as possible. So what's the point? Another person said "the white man don't want to speak like us so why do we have to speak like them..." Well this is not a rational reasoning. We Africans, blacks are always in a situation where we are at the mercy of these white folks.. u want to get their job, u want to live in their country, u want to survive within their system so what sense does it make to question why they don't speak like u speak when they come to ur country? Do they have to? When they are not at ur mercy for their survival? In fact that point is immediately defeated when u speak English and not ur local language abroad. If u do not like or u are not able to adopt an accent,, its okay but stop running those that want to down or criticizing them if they can do it properly.. 1 Like |

Ikengawo: this is a lie.Though I have not read thru all the comments here but I completely disagree with this. The accent thing is not a black or white thing, it's not about uir accent going away, it's about picking ip an accent or adopting an accent. Its a kind of ability, it's a skill. Some ppl can fake accent and fake it perfectly and at that point, I don't call it faking accent anymore, I call it "doing an accent" Its like one's ability to know how to sing. Some ppl can never do an accent no matter how many years they have lived abroad because they do not have the ability but that doesn't mean that it will hinder their over all success. Some attempt doing it and it turns out terrible... okay this are the group of ppl I really have problem with. If u can't do an accent perfectly, speak the proper Nigerian accent that u have and be proud of it. I agree with some of the @delor's comments that I have seen here, he is really making good points... There is no reason to crucify ppl doing an accent if they can do it perfectly. From my own experience, if u are in North America, it goes a long way for u to achieve a lot of things from jobs, relating with people and all that if u can do the american accent. It has a lot of advantage... U will get away with a lot of stuffs just because they think u are one of them from the way u speak. Go and ask the american or canadian immigrants (most especially the new ones) not to do the american accent if they can, some of them will tell u that they wouldn't even mind to buy the ability at any cost if possible. The problem is, we blacks like to run ourselves down for trivial irrelevant reasons. We need to grow beyond this and move forward. But my advice to those forcing it.. If u can't do an accent properly, maintain ur Nigerian accent cos a horrible fake accent is a turn off for ppl.. And even if u can perfectly do an accent, don't use the accent while communicating with Naija folks, it comes off very rude and in fact u are not being real at that point. 1 Like |

faithinnaija: what are the origins of all these music genres? Many of us accepts what the generality accept and its quite a pity.Correct.. Everywhere in the world, different genres are inspired by different events or happenings at a time in history. And from country to country, there are genres of music inspired by religion. So why abandon such genres and cross carpet to stuffs like hard-rock which is inspired by satanism or rap which is inspired by black freedom events in the US and later nurtured by gangsters, hooligans and street hustlers. Xtianity as a religion is supposed to inspire other groups but to the reverse, other groups are inspiring xtianity... What a joke. |

PHIPEX: I personally don't have a problem with what you wrote above but what I don't agree to is a situation where a song sang by a hip-hop artiste is rephrased/remixed and brought to the church. Buchi, kirk frankline etc have brands and use a genre they are known with, even if they change their genre It's different from where for instance Tu-face's African Queen is brought to the church and perhaps remixed and someone who is a catholic comes out to claim that he's singing it to Virgin Mary or when a well known D' banj's song is remixed and used for Praise and worship in a pentecostal church. To me that's a show of hypocricy and insecurity among christians because it makes us neither hot nor cold. If it's all about your heart as someone said earlier, what stops us from inviting MI, P-square and Tu-face to lead us in praise and worship and let's see how much worship you will give to God.That is the point BUDDY! There is no problem in using a particular genre, but i have issues when these churches remix a popularly known parental advisory song and just change the lyrics. The beats, the tune and everything else remains the same. That implies that whatever spirit or "anointing" they are claiming to be having at the moment they are singing that song in the church is inspired by the devil. Cos U can't tell me that a remix praise song from original Oliver Twist for example is God inspired. I look at the choir and I shake my head that if these group of ppl are not hypocritical Christians, should they be listening to these X rated songs in the 1st place talk less of going as far as remixing them to musically frolic in the church all in the name of praising God? Sometimes I wonder why majority are just not logically deep in their reasoning. Or may be some are but they just want to be silly and attribute their silliness to God. 2 Likes |

Tintinix: We are our worst enemies, I had to go back to the post to confirm whether I missed reading anything drug related because of the conclusion reached by most NLanders!It's very unfortunate. We are not saying that the guy couldn't have been a drug dealer but it remains a speculation until proven. Look at what even Nigerians are saying based on mere speculations... That is so un-smart. A Nigerian taxi driver was recently brutally killed in N.Y and no one connected his killing to drugs. Imagine if the scenario is copy pasted to S.A? There citizens will brandish the story to our face here and tell us how glad they were that the Nigerian is dead cos he is a drug dealer. The fact that we are aware that some Nigerians deal drugs doesn't mean that we shouldn't demand proves for any accusation against Nigerians. |

dasparrow: @PostRight sparrow, u see the problem with the black race is that we like to only dwell on our negativeness and our differences. That is why we are backward. Even if a South African knows what and what is good about Nigerians, they will never discuss it cos that doesnt make them feel good... They will discuss and reiterate all the negative things they know about u cos that makes them feel like they are better than u and it makes them feel good. If not for all the hate from fellow Africans, Nigerians naturally do not have time hating anybody. And its unfortunate we africans behave like this. The only group of non Nigerians that admires and say positive things they know about Nigerians are never Africans. Our fellow Africans will only want to tell us that we are drug dealers and criminals and nothing else. That shows jealousy and envy period. |

chief batiatus: But I have never met a south african selling drugs here, never met one here robbing people, never met any into organized crime, so why should we attack them in nigeria? Ibos are the reason why we are hated in SA, malaysia, Ghana, and recently Kenya. Funny enough Ibos keep deceiving themselves (including educated ones) that people 'just' hate them for no reason! How lopsided a thinking!Meanwhile, that in bold is never possible, We are no crack heads like them, any one who attempt to sell drugs in Nigeria will run out of business cos their is no market. Look the point is this, I am not defending Nigerians that are criminals abroad, we are aware of the shame they bring to our nation. The problem is the hate and the excuse of using that as a premise to unjustly mistreat, kill, maim, oppress and brutally murder innocent Nigerians. They beat up Ghanaian too, what about the Somalis? What about Mozambicans, Zimbabweans, do they all sell drugs? If those other immigrants do not sell drugs and they kill them equally gruesomely, that rubbishes the claim that they kill Nigerians because they sell drugs or that if the claim were to be true, all immigrants in South Africa sells drugs. Which of course will be a ridiculous claim anyways so that simply puts the scenario on simple logic... Defending the right and security of innocent Nigerians does not imply that we are supporting the Nigerian crooks over there, the life of the innocent and enterprising ones is more important than that of the crooks. Remember that the original post did not tell us why he was killed and who killed him... What ppl are against here is the fact that u can't just tell us a story about how a Nigerian that was killed and immediately conclude that the killing was justified cos of ur assumption that he must have been a drug dealer, that means anytime any Nigerian was hurt whether innocent or not, u would get no sympathy or help from a South African cos they have already placed all Nigerians in their drug box. That's shameful. 3 Likes |

That was a deal gone bad. And Nigerians need to obey laws in other countries so they won't be targeted indiscriminatelyOkay u need to tell the somalis that too cos u can see how they are beating the crap out of them also in the below article Members of the Somali community in South Africa have marched to parliament in Cape Town to protest against recent attacks on foreigners. Three Somalis have been killed this month and the Somali government has requested the South African authorities to do more to protect their nationals. About 200 people took part in the protest, holding a banner reading: "Everyone is a foreigner somewhere." Correspondents say xenophobic attacks have increased recently. Some of the protesters accused the authorities of not doing enough to prevent attack on foreigners, especially Somalis, or prosecute those responsible. Two Somali brothers were allegedly hacked to death with an axe in the northern Limpopo province on Thursday night. Last week, Abdi Nasr Mahmoud was stoned to death in Port Elizabeth. Mohamed Aden Osman told the BBC that criminals saw Somalis as "soft targets". According to the Centre for Human Rights at the University of Pretoria, South Africans are becoming "increasingly desensitised" to attacks on foreigners, The Sowetan newspaper reports. The BBC's Mohammed Allie in Cape Town says the violence is linked to the massive unemployment among young South Africans. In the past two decades, many thousands of Somalis have fled conflict at home and moved to South Africa, where many have opened small shops and kiosks in townships. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-22810926 What about the mozambican taxi driver? that was brutally murdered for no reason early this year? http://www.itv.com/news/2013-02-28/south-africas-president-jacob-zuma-disgusted-at-police-brutality/ http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/03/05/safr-m05.html From the above, I would guess all immigrants in South Africa are drug dealers huh? @zetdee that started this thread is just a stvpid xenophobic dim wit whose intention is to extend his brutal xenophobic agenda beyond their borders through internet. But u should be ashamed of yourself cos as u can see, we are liberal and civilized ppl to even have allowed you a freedom of expression in our forum in spite of being disrespectful. It will take u and ur shameless intolerant folks a 100 years to learn how to be that tolerant.

Those coming from developed countries.. most especially western europe are not cheating because they have records of birth properly documented.. so if they attempt to cheat they will be easily exposed. Secondly, those Europeans grow very well, I know what I am saying, I played in recreational football league in Europe, at age 17-19 u will guess their ages to be 25-26 cos most of them are looking very grown with beard..

stagger: I have been an advocate of scrapping a minimum wage, because it locks out those who can work for less than N18000 from the system.I have a serious objection to ur suggestion. 1st of all u are proposing a policy that seems selfish and insensitive. 2ndly, u are looking at the entire situation from a ridiculously myopic standpoint. 3rdly, the solution u presented is not relevant to the suggestion u raised. From the 1st point, if u say minimum wage should be scrapped, then more employers will exploit more employees.. I would not even waste time expounding on that cos it's a known theory in labor issues worldwide. On the second point, u can not draw inference from the case of ur butler and use that to generalize when it's a know fact that the majority can not meet their daily needs due to under payment. U derive reality based on the majority and not based on exceptions. On the third point, sending ppl to farm can not be a solution to wage issues. U are talking about job creation. Job creation can not be a solution for minimum wage because even if u provide job for everybody, u still have to define how wages are to be paid. From all u wrote, what I think u should have advocated for is redefinition of minimum wage. And I will give u an example from the same instance u used. U are saying that ur employee had little to do hence it wouldn't have been justifiable to pay him 18k meanwhile it was a good deal for him to get it at 12k since he was able to double jobs somewhere else. In that case, U should have thought about wage per hour of work. If we pay minimum wage per hour in Nigeria, u wouldn't have over or under paid ur employee.. All u need to do is calculate how many hours he is working for u per day. From the current N18000, u would have paid him approximately N100 per hour of work, if he works for u for just 5 hours/day, he gets approximately N12000 salary (depending on whether he works in the weekends or not) that is what u are paying him now. Whether u will deduct rent and feeding from his salary is left to u to decide. In short, there is no economics without minimum wage, u have suggested the impossible... U can only suggest a redefinition or restructuring of our minimum wage. 2 Likes |

And then lets see him doing that 1st. Are they already doing that? Well he said arrangement has been made... Very vague statement. This is it, If arrangement has been made, that means there are jobs already to offer these group of people, they have already worked hard and came up with something for this people. In that case, Why would the governor still keep it secret? Or may be there are actually no job but a plan to empower them, why not drop a hint? A politician will not have a brilliant initiative and not brag about it when they brag about stup1d ones. U know what, I believe no arrangement has been made. He only made not even a promise but an assurance that seems so empty. It would have been a different scenario if he said "we are looking at how we can bla bla" then in that case he has not promised but he is willing to do something about empowering area boys.

There are 2 sides to this judgment. When a court imposes such a ridiculously high bail condition on an accused, it must be that the validity of the allegations is somewhat evident so much that the court is not genuinely willing to let the convict out on bail... Since he has right to bail, the court then offers conditions that he may likely unable to fulfill. In that case he will remain in detention. On the other hand, if he fulfills this bail condition, it will jeopardize his defense because the plaintiff's lawyer will capitalize on that to nail him completely. "How can a speaker who is originally a mere honorable, whose mandate is only to serve his people afford a bail of N1b if not the proceed of corruption?" It will be unwise for the speaker to pay that bail even if he somehow can afford it, if he is willing to have any chance at all at the final judgment. |

If we had good point man, the burden of scoring shouldn't have been on him. Do u think Keshi was stupid for using him in all the matches? He can only sit on the bench if moses is around 2 Likes |

TheBookWorm: Weren't some of you singing praises for Nigeria a couple of months ago when all things we good and they were winning tournaments?Dem no get shame now... What about Italy wey Brazil thrashed 4-2? At least they came as defacto european champion and with a more experienced team.. U should credit Keshi for trying out a lot of boys b4 world cup... This is an opportunity for him to know who is going and who is not... And for me the guys performance today was not very poor.. Keshi himself needs no one to tell him that he Just need agressive finishers and we all know they are injured. So what are ppl crying about? |

Guys... take it easy. At least they have started donating. All this stuffs u are doing here is more like a Yoruba proverb that says "The rain has not yet stopped falling and u are already concluding that its not as heavy as that of yesterday". U have to watch the trend of things 1st for sometime before saying everything u are saying here. Remember that not all of them are close friend of OJB. And the one that donates as much as 1 million deserves some credit. 4 Likes |

foluks24: should anyone be made responsible for someone who probably is a chain smoker nd an alchoholic nd lost his kidney to dat effect.spare me nd tak d money to the moderless baby homes.wat hapened to steve kadiri d oda time,after hard earned money was contributed for d transplant he stil got himsf back to smokin and eventualy lost it.gudluck to dose who wish to sow where dey wuldnt reap.Gone are those days when women are by default kind-hearted and caring. I am surprised u are imploring ppl not to help this guy. First of all stop this habit of judging people.. U do not know OJB personally, so u can not conclude that he caused the damage to his own kidney. And last I checked, smoking has damaging effects on ur lungs and not ur kidney.. This guy has kidney problem. U might think u are perfect but some of ur flaws are already indicated here. U are insensitive, u judge people u don't know and u are attempting to discourage ppl who might be willing to help. However, his millionaire colleagues should be able to contribute and help him, at least is not as expensive as their expensive lifestyle and this is about saving one of their own. 8 Likes |
