Nigeria has different accents for different geo-political zones, maybe except the SS where each state have a different accent.

Personally for me, I find the Rivers state accent most attractive, followed by Delta and then Yoruba, I also think they are the only accent close to being posh in Nigeria, though the Yoruba has the 'h' factor.

The Bayelsa accent is the least attractive for me

Hausa/fulani. I don't know Hausa but I like when they say it.

I think the Rivers state accent sound more intelligent and educated to me, the Delta sounds the most fun and rugged, the igbo accent sounds weird, the Bayelsa, sound too un-intelligent and Hausa sound gentle

Also I feel, the Deltans and Rivers are alike, a deep Delta and Rivers pidgin accent is difficult to understand by a foreigner while their English sounds intelligent

Hausa... Meanwhile is it just me on there's something wrong with NL interface? Why does it look like negative picture to me na

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.

modified, I have lived 70% of my earthly sojourn in Rivers state, maybe I am so used to the different accents that I couldn't differentiate them again

I think Deltans, Rivers and Yorubas are the only ones that pronounce the words the way they are.
Hausa will say pipty naira instead of fifty naira.
Bayelsa will say fis instead of fish
Calabar will say "bitter reave" instead of bitter leave
The igbos also have their own unique accent but due to how they migrate alot and meet other locals, their accent is fast changing

non ,all of them sounds like shit

I think you're right.

Big difference.
when you differentiate accent from a person's voice, then we can talk.
Peter Obi does not have a different accent from everyone, he just have a high pitch tone.

Some have deep voices, some have light voices, some has frog voice, some has feminine voice.
These are different from what accent is.

Anambra dey sweet wella,followed by benue,then Agbor

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,then they brought out fuse for him

Hausa accent, the best. Delta and Benin accent the most entertaining. Yoruba is the worst, because of the H factor.

An educated hausa accent
