AFRICA WHO DID THIS TO YOU?

Africans always celebrating mediocrity.

Mophasa:


I couldnt hear a thing from our president During their meeting in April,His accent so bad!

I could imagine Trump's Disgust

abokibuhari:
LIFELESS bone carry Fulani accent go disgrace us there

Fierce11:

People like you who talk about inferiority complex and colonial mentality are actually the ones whom it worries.. They admire their president and the manner in which his accent flowed. Now, please tell me the inferiority complex in that.. Is his accent not worth admiring? Why the hell does your own president possess a dumb and unappealing and lifeless voice? Nwa ndi eye-service!.. And stop this trash about colonial mentality.. They oppressed us and we overcame the oppression.. So please who is the real mvp here?
Infact, it is your customers that are inferior. People who are not happy with their appearance, they are the ones that come to you looking for scrubs and lotions... Nonsense

bobnatlo:

He doesn't have to, he schooled their

I've got close families that schooled here and are either working or lecturing abroad now.

It's normal for them to speak normal nija english n pidgin when interacting with us but will speak fluent foreign assent at work place or when delivering seminars there.

It's almost automatic for them and it's all for better communication with colleagues there. If u don't they'll keep asking u to repeat ur words n reading ur lips to understand what u saying.

So chill it's just normal for uhurru to switch when speaking to keyans or interacting with foreigners.

I'm surprised u guys are reacting this way. Even okonjo iweala, sowore, Fela kuti and host of others do that.

If PMB is still a past HOS and in daura, then no qualms. But as a president??
It's minus for him period

googi:
Chei, see ignorance o.

What part of Okonjo Iweala, Sowore or Fela Kuti spoke in either American or English accent?

It is one thing to be articulate making sure people understand you, it is another to confuse it with foreign accent to obtain a job as a broadcaster in Nigeria.

I hope you guys realize that François Mitterrand, former Greek President George Andreas Papandreou taught in America and Russian President or Chinese for that matter spoke in their language through translator when in England or America.

But the colo-mentality born in most of us do not even allow you to speak to your children in your language at home.

Kotinue.

When was the last time Canadian President went to London for medical solutions?

Stop comparing countries with zoo. Take it or leave it, US is 100x better than Kenya or Nigeria. If it pains you, hold your leaders accountable. Greatness is not by wishful thinking.

An American pastor was held in Turkey and that caused a lot of spat between US and Turkey that the latter's economy took a hit this month. A thousand Nigerians can be killed and Buhari won't bat an eyelid. Your leaders are the ones telling the world that you are inferior beings.

blackgold2018:
Slave spotted. In as much I dnt support my president.. so he should change his accent to suit the Americans because he's meeting God abi. Idiots everywhere. Tell dat to the Chinese President or Putin.

I am proud of my Nigerian accent likewise PMB .

Favor99:

Thank you!
The Nigerian accent is beautiful especially the Lagos one

Rilwayne001:
They should be ass-licking America, that's what Trump wants after all. The same bastard that said Africa is a shithole continent. May thunder fire him wherever he is.

@musicwriter
Sorry dear bro for calling you here...but this is a good place to drop the link to your book and make your "woke" contributions. One day soon I pray, the people of Nairaland and Naija social media will wake up to the truth and bombard the world with what we know, (I learnt that Naija has a solid acid Twitter voice for instance)
Imagine the voice of Nigeria on the world social media streets, asking questions about the issues that you raise, issues that I realized and which chilled my soul
We shall be the children of God we are exactly meant to me, someday. I know I get too preachy shaa, one cannot help it

Modified- I see the thread has reached four pages. Maybe next time/thread. Cheers

Mophasa:


Ur so lame, Russians and the Chinese clearly understands when their leaders speak. But majority of Nigerians cant decode PMBs accent...

Thats how bad it is kid, its not about TrumP...Now run along son!

musicwriter:


Thanks for recommending.

I just checked and learned that Kenyatta doesn't do that in his country Kenya. I learned he schooled in the US, so my view on that is he can use the American accent if it would help him achieve his goal in this instance. In this case, he knows what he's doing, he's being diplomatic with it. However, if I were to be speaking with Trump, I won't do that for any reason.

My only issue is that some people are loving it, not realizing why he's doing it. I wish he could tell them himself before they begin copying him.

As for the book; people have written me from all over the world and it appears the message could get to radio/TV sooner or later.

By the way, I saw you have God on your lips these days. What God do you believe? Christian God, Islam God, Jewish God? As for me, I don't believe in the God of religion because they limit God and they don't grow.

czarina:
you know, you could have very well made your own comment without jumping on my mention.

That's a president full of life.
