I don't think there's anything like a Nigerian accent. Even the pidgin English we speak is not limited to Nigeria alone. A Yoruba accent is different from an igbo accent so is an Hausa accent different as well let alone other minor tribes with their individual accents as well.

From your post op, I can conclude that you are strictly talking about a foreign English accent.
I shouldn't be surprised caz some of our brothers who've had the opportunity to travel to places like Qatar, Mexico, Finland, Russia, Israel would come back and start forming a southern American accent.

Not spicy enough... More ingredients needed
