TayserMahiri:
I can't

good.just like a kenya who has a british background

TayserMahiri:
Thats funny because I can tell a nigerian the first time they speak. The accent in their movies is what I mean. Lumumba's is not the standard accent in Kenya. He's learned and his accent is more European, and since he's a Luo, we call their accent Luopean

can you tell from a nigeria that has british background. Nigeria minister of finance is one

Just30:
you identify a Nigerian, when he start speaking
The pronunciation of most consonant are wrong

bashing apart. nigerian english is not wrong if it is from educated nigerian. the issue is base on mother tongue.chinua achebe novel.thngs fall apart is the most read book in african literature. Of recent wole soyinka almost won another chance to teach literature at oxford school of art despite his old age.though generally speaking at average level. i will give kudos to ghana in west africa sub region. Pidgin has really damage the british english in nigeria so much.

TayserMahiri:
So you don't have an accent that you mostly associate with Nigeria?

locally no， everybody speak differently depending on their mother tongue， if you mean globally yes just like prof lumumba from kenya.

TayserMahiri:
New Kenyan trains stewards and stewardesses.

so kenyans really use
train. it is not effective here. though there is train line but people care not. i wish our govt can correct it.

TayserMahiri:
Most Nigerians however speak in a remarkably similar way. I don't know if its the same for Ghanaians.

not true. hausa ,igbo and yoruba are very unique on their own. ghana too can be diffrent. An ashanti man vs dagbani man will speak english diffrently.

TayserMahiri:
There is no unique Kenyan accent, possibly because its a mixture of Nilotes, Cushites, Bantus, Asians etc. People speak different accents in different areas of the country.

likewise nigeria and ghana. In nigeria for instance there are over 500 languages. And all of them speak english base on the influece of their mother tounge. Generally. An educated yoruba man will speak better english than average fualani man. Likewise in ghana there over 70 languages and this people also speak base on their mother tounge. What make ghana a, little diffrence is the influence of twi languge. Nearly 65percent or more speak the language and it has influence on the way they speak english. Personally i prefer a nothern ghanian english. So you cant conclude using your own logic

TayserMahiri:
For real?

yes in tourism sector., you are free to verify

TayserMahiri:
The Nigerian accent is the most awkward in Africa (along with Ghanaian) followed closely by the Seuth Efrican eccent

what about kenya

TayserMahiri:
That was reversed. In 2016, foreign tourism arrivals grew by 16 percent.

https://wolfganghthome./2017/02/01/kenyas-tourism-arrivals-grew-by-over-16-percent-in-2016/

Another 16 percent rise has been recorded this year.

http://www.nation.co.ke/news/tourism-arrivals-kenya-mombasa/1056-3794720-j4wt61z/index.html

And the rise of tourist arrivals from west africa is 30 percent, mainly from Ghana and Nigeria.

ghana is earning more in revenue than kenya.

[quote author=freshest4live post=57049845][/quote]lol it funny

freshest4live:
Rubbish, it's the Ghanians who do not talk well. How come the British and American accent seem smooth to me though fast.

if it is fast it can not be smooth.

freshest4live:
I have stayed with Ghanians, l struggle to understand them.

i will not doubt it. sometimes i prefer a german who learn english as a second language better than the british themselves. ghanian english may be complicated to you due to influence of mother tongue .

Look at what westernization has done to us as africa. An indigeneous black man asking if black medicine is real. Ok since you want a practical example. Visit local orthopedics center. You will see a crumble leg that should be cut off in the mordarn hospital that is been nutured back to life due to help of black medicine.


when the western realise they can not conqured us with gun and bomb. they decide to change our mentality through their education. we now value and respect their innovation and called it science why we called ours juju.

freshest4live:
It's funny, because to me we are the only ones with a clear accent except the English speaking countries. I get turned off by the Indian Southern African, Eastern African and Ghanian accents.

trust me ghanian english accent is a plus in nigeria.

CocoMilian:

genieluv:
Kk, if you say so. Buh i tot you were a Ghanaian?

Jayceon:
I just checked encyclopedia,you are right,he left when he was three so I guess he is as British as they come.I used to think that he left in his mid 20s

then you shouldnt have argue it.

obaaderemi:
I thought you were muslim.

i belive in all faith that needs to do with GOD. I only choose my root first.

genieluv:
Oooohhh! Holly You mean you are a real traditionalist? like a juju worshipper?

Ooops yah, the awkward sexual orientations are against African culture, buh it's not as if homosexualism was originally part of western culture. They only permitted it due to their extreme beliefs of freedom of human rights.

first of all. Let me correct your misconception. I am africana. I value my culture and heritage first before the foreign religion. I am not a juju worshiper as u claim. Am a beliver in olodumare and ifa adherent. You call african mode of healing and miracle juju. But if your pastor perform miracle with water or oil is saint. I like the way you reason.

i have the history of homo and lesbi and how it start in the western and how werstern power became a super advocate of these ilicit act.

human right or illicit right. dont worry the western will soon legalise bestiality.

obaaderemi:
HELL NO!HE ISN'T SOUTH AFRICAN.AND who is the ignoramus who liked this?He was as British as they come.Being born in S.A while his parents worked there didn't make him s.african.

you dont even need to prove it. Well you just correct the person mistake.

fanficgirl:
The author of Lord of the Rings is South African lol

the film center most on new zealand culture. read the concept. some of the movie was even shot in new zealand .so take your mind of the nationality of the producer but the content of the movie. It a fiction anyway

genieluv:
Holly Harry Porter is a movie of adventure and fiction, nothing else.
>>>>Benin culture is beautiful buh am not from there. My ancestors were from Kwararafa kingdom. (Benue state).
Eeey What are the illicit views in western films?

yes it is an adventure movie .the aim is to spread the work of imagination.whwhich is fiction.


illicit about the western movie？ i cant belive you asking me this question. anyway western films contain a very amount of what is call taboo to us as african. homosexual ,lesbianism and so more.

i am proud of rich bini kingdom. am a traditionalist. i value culture and heritage.

freshest4live:
To me ancient Korean and American war movies are the best. We Africans should focus on ancient war movies of Oyo kingdoms, Ashanti et al.

good point.am also a lover of war film but it should contain less fiction

Visit oshogbo in the month of august to experience true africa beauty

mtis:
dude if ya wanna join him in the anti white..anti indian anti everything not Nigerian good for you..

kenya niba. am not supporting the dude. am only telling you to display courteous manner. you dont need to insult him before you correct him.

i have no ptoblem with white or indians so far they do not bash my culture and heritage and called it uncivialized. they are always welcome to africa.

genieluv:
haaa we are not against movies that portray our culture, buh the quality of these movies is the problem. These movies also emphasize on juju n witchcraft too much.

****Have you watched this movie INVASION 1897? It depicted the Nigerian culture and history very well and even very raw, yaah it did, buh with some good quality**** Infact it was based on the British conquest of the great Benin kingdom and how they looted our priceless artefacts to Europe beyond our reach

if you mean quality of video.i understand. But if you mean too much juju. What will you called harry porter and lord of the rings. Juju is part of our tradition in africa. From your post. You are from bini kingdom. Can you talk about bini without talking about ayelala. Dont you also think western films also contain too much illicit veiw that go against us as human. Thanks for the film you reccomend. I will try and watch it.

mtis:
uzzy thats a very very stupid statement ..

that is too harsh bro
