The ozzband, save jonny, oda chinese and api birthday are all Yoruba accents. I noticed they have a habit of changing their Fs to Vs and deleting H from words that contain letter H while transferring those deleted Hs to words that have no H in them for instance a person with very strong Yorub accent will pronounce Hair as Ear grin

or will pronounce leaf as leave
or Hose as ost grin

No offence to Yorubas, am just saying what I noticed.

There is nothing like pronounciation, the correct spelling is pronunciation. Ghanians are arrogant fools. They know nothing, yet mocks others.

For a start, the writer or whoever that posted this piece, started on a very faulty note.There's nothing like PRONOUNCIATION in English Language.It is PRONUNCIATION.But, one can say pronounce.
One should be very careful before one jumps to conclusions, as many are wont to do here.And, regarding the accent of Nigerians, it's presumptuous, I think, to say that it's how the poster has depicted it.If anything, it can only be determined phonetically.But, as a linguist, I reckon The Nigerian accent-the accent of the 'exposed'-sits between British and American English.

Nigerians speak English far better than them. They know it. Besides, those pronunciations are not to be credited to Nigerians.

We've got good accent!

Do they use sign language or she travels with an interpreter?

No interpreter. She tells them what she wants and they calculate the products and prices together. It's her money they want, not the English. But she's very good at Calculations.

Do they speak English in those different countries?.
Many countries even in Europe don't speak English..

For a business woman, all she needs to understand is numbers and have business acumen. Business is a universal language. We have several Chinese business men in Nigeria, yet we don't speak Chinese and they don't speak English and they are successful.
