Better an original accent than a fake one any day. I love people who have pride in their identity. Fake accents are a huge turn off for me.

Loyalblak007:
No way pls

IamSINZ:


**says "hi" to her in my Obasanjo accent**

Loyalblak007:
No way pls

ZarZar:


Lol, I don't know what he sounds like but I'm sure I'd love it. There's nothing more ridiculous sounding than a guy with an American accent, when he's not even seen the doors of an airport, talkless of travelling. Even if he's travelled, why would you wanna get rid of something that should be your badge of honour? Maybe I'm too proud of my roots but I'd never change how I speak just to sound worldly & well-travelled. Reason I just wanna spit on anyone with a phony accent.

Lionessza:








Couldn't have said it better myself. I despise those who love sounding American (because it makes them look cool and worldly) . That's why black Americans ridicule Africans " because we want to be them ".

ZarZar:


Exactly! That's actually one of the 1st things I pay attention to when I meet a guy. Any fakeness, don't care how cute he is, my interest drops to below zero in a flash. Who wants to be with a giant counterfeit with no pride? Yuck!

Gosh how I hate people with phony accents.
I met one guy just the other day and he was just speaking all funny.

He asked for my name,I told him.The way he 'englishized' the name ehn I was like c'mon bro I don't think that's the name I told you.
For me,just have the normal Nigerian accent with correct tenses and you're good to go.

BiafraBushBoy:
lol

Is it a must we must know how to speak English?

My accent is very local and my girl loves it that way.

I am in my house, come and beat me!!

Lionessza:









Same here girl, i can't stand a man who thinks being fake is being cool ...it makes me lose what ever respect I thought I had for him. It's even worse when they emulate the "thuggish " demeanour and start licking their lips, dammit I wish I could bury idiots like that alive when they start talking to me . I don't mind nor care about them, when they mind their own business and stay far away from me.

Lol, it's like looking through the mirror. Same here! I can't even begin to describe the amount of disgust I feel. Don't fucking "Yo" me! Clown! How other women find guys like that attractive, is beyond me. I'd rather date a guy that's original with an authentic accent, just as long as his articulation is on point. All the "My nigga, my dawg" guys can go straight to hell.

Nazeren:
Most people on here are missing the point. So, back to the topic, if he has a local accent, i'll date him only if:

1. He's Yoruba.

2. Rich as fck.

3. Lives in Nigeria. Lagos to be precise. Lekki/Ikoyi/V.I to be more precise.

4. That's it.

IamSINZ:



You're missing the point hun, the OP is talking about unpleasant local accents not phony foreign accents.

Let's face it, some accents or not just it! If you haven't heard Obasanjo's voice, I'm quite sure you must've heard Buhari

Now let's be honest, Fulani doesn't exactly sound like Spanish

Lol. I remember about a week back , we were sitting at Spur waiting for our food. This attention seeking fool starts yelling " yo everybodi listen up , this ma gal right? And I luv her ya know what I mean so I wanchyall to witness me proposing to her . .) And he started proposing and you should have seen the look on people's faces when that idiotic girl said yes with a smile . I just couldn't take it,i was so disgusted as if he was proposing to me . We had to take our food home , I had lost my fuckn apetite with looking at all the Gold chains and sagging pants. And the worst thing he kept looking at everyone smiling and licking his lips like we were his friends .



I agree with the bolded.
