The parents are bastards, bunch of low self esteemed idiots. I hope they know how the British immigration law works. This is just to intimidate other parents and kids, this is pure show off. BTW do they know how stupid they will sound when people ask them "how long have you been in Britain" and they say never been there or just 1 month?. Stupid parents

SMH. Speak English as it is spoken . olodo!

Nigerian parents can be funny.
The way some them even support and encourage exam malpractice is surprising, especially MOTHERS.


Some of them will stylishly call to tell you to help their children with tests and exams questions at random.

They even send you gifts and recharge cards at random in order to maintain close relationships.
This country done tire me.

Teach them mathematics, programming and computers. Even if they can't speak one word of English but understand numbers and coding using proramming languages, them go chop feed your 3 generations ahead.

This mentality of language only is one of the reasons we are not yet developed.

When Russians, Japanese, Chinese and Koreans discovered how to use their local languages for everything them develop by force. No be rocket science.

This shows how the problem of Nigeria is not just the leaders.

Black Panther is set to become the highest grossing film using the same accent you're throwing away.

You call your food local, Oyinbo adopts it and call it organic. You throw away your culture, they call it retro/motherland/ethnic. You want to move to the city but oyinbo wants the suburbs and country side for their vacations and expensive homes. You're learning accents they are learning new programming languages.

I don tire for us jare. But i no go still give up.

If I were the President or the Education Minister,I will introduce the topic of racial equality or the understanding that no race is superior/inferior to the other.

Nigerians have inferiority complex,that is why you see policemen being at the beck and call of even Indians and Chinese,or a white guy who had a little qulaification abroad,called an expatriate in Nigeria.

To the topic,these parents are wasting their resources and time,YOU CAN NOT DEVELOP BRITISH ACCENT IN NIGERIA.Your children will be shocked when they get to the UK.They will realize that their accent is still not the real deal.

Secondly,there is no general british accent.THERE ARE SCOTTISH,SCOUSER,MANCUNIAN,LONDON ACCENTS ETC.
Which are they going to teach your children?

Building your child's self confidence is the number 1 rule.
Im not sure a british or american accent would do that, but everyone with their cup of kunu.
Anyway, i know people with Indian accent from watching too much Indian movies.

WORLDPEACE:

It is not inferiority complex. If a person is learning Yoruba, should they be speaking it in Tiv accent?
If you speak English, you should speak in British accent-Queens English specifically.
Everything is not inferiority complex.


that explains why there is American English.

and also the Irish, Australian accents...

After ranting and attacking everyone on this thread, you ended up goofing with this argument. So what's essence of British accent if you don't know the basics such as using school as a verb.
I've attached a screenshot showing school as a verb.
You can thank me later.

No, it's not.

When I'm seeing a foreign movie with my very educated mum and she still can't understand the movie's dialog, I will have to explain to her. The British and American intonations make it hard for some people to clearly understand.
