•No they don't ... Even in England there are different accents. A Londoner has a different accent from a Man or woman from Southampton or Manchester. Slight differences.
In America too... A New Yorker speaks differently from a man from Texas

dechandel:
These peeeps you just mentioned talk with the plain accent, no mixup with their dialects whatsoever. That is the message i was tryna pass across..

Darkrebel666:
• I still don't understand what you mean by Plain accent babe..


~ Wole Soyinka speaks in a British accent mixed with a little bit of Nigerian accent (Yoruba ) same with omotola... you can't completely eradicate your native accent.. maybe you should tell me what Plain accent is?

eddysernal:
for all ye formers of accent note that the nigerian accent is the 6th most sexiest in the world so whats with forming again.

Vickybee:
I like Nigerian guys with british accent not an American own.

Darkrebel666:
why?

dechandel:
Plain accent is making the right pronounciations.. Devoid of dialetical intonations ..
You cant tell me that a yoruba man saying eat as heat is right??
Or an Igbo man saying please as prease is right??

Vickybee:
It's sexy and captivating even if i'm not into him.

Darkrebel666:
~ So just an accent can make you like someone. Interesting

Vickybee:
I can like anybody but an accent would make me wanna hear his voice again.

Darkrebel666:
~ Okay...cool.
so what accent do you speak in?

Vickybee:
I like Nigerian guys with british accent not an American own.

Vickybee:
Like Toolz and Toke Makinwa.

JoeCutie:
And I like Nigerian girls with Nigerian accent.

Darkrebel666:
~I don't know those people you just mentioned Are they celebrities? i googled Toke and found out she's a radio personality..my bad, i may have heard her before but i didn't know her name.

Vickybee:
It doesn't mean I can date them because of their accent.

Darkrebel666:
~ There's nothing like plain accent. You have to belong to a tribe or region and speak like where you come from. No matter what you do in trying to get rid of it, there would still be a trace of it staining your voice box.. The best you can do is Float. Floating is when you switch from American accent to British to Nigerian when talking.


~Yorubas are known for their H-factor and Ibos for their L and R pronunciation problem like you said, but even Yorubas and Ibos that don't have this problem don't speak plainly like you termed it .There's still a trace of their Native accent in their speech.

~Lupita Nyong'o and Chiwetel Ejiofor are perfect examples.

dechandel:
Nope.. You are wrong at bolded.. I have seen cases where i had my guess games gone wrong and i just had to ask the person where he or she is from..
Can you go and see that half of a yellow sun¿ the behind the scenes? Chiwetel said it wasnt quite difficult not to make use of his brits accent but it was quite stressful switching to his Igbo accent..

I dunno about Lupita

JoeCutie:
Oh, is that so? Tell me...what effect do guys with such accent have in you?

Everyone has right to freedom of speech (a personal choice).

People learn accents for different purposes - career breakthrough in mainstream industries especially (movie, music, marketing etcetera) - as job placements in these industries are highly competitive and aspirants must stand out in anyway they can (being able to speak in foreign accent is an advantage over contemporaries).

Some other people learn accents as a hobby, and that's being creative if you ask me.

However, if you must do an accent make sure you do it right! Do the needed research so you don't sound like a clown, and it's just stupid to learn accents for the sole purpose of 'condescending'

If you want to learn Spanish be prepared to speak in spanish accent - if French be prepared to speak in a french accent - if British English be prepared to speak in a british accent - and if Yoruba be prepared to speak in a yoruba accent.

Nothing wrong learning and perfecting an accent...too many laws in the world if you ask me lol. People should do what interests them.

People speaking in different accents to you shouldn't make you feel inferior - rather makes you unique!

Much love!

My youtube is still very much available to see all

Vickybee:
That's the fact. One of my classmate in secondary speaks plain English and can switch to English/British accent perfectly.

When he tried mimicking Igbo, yoruba and Hausa accent, he failed woefully except trying a bit in Hausa.

P.S - He's Delta Igbo and currently studying in Caleb University Lagos.

~ if you change your mind anyway, you can always send me a d.m. and ummm.. when we are going to the cinema, you'd have to put on that particular dress you wore in your d.p so i can slip my fingers easily subconsciously while the movies on

dechandel:
Thank you.. I am glad you got the message
