^Lol at Hausa. That's laughable because they have arguably the thickest naija accent with Igbos. I think it should be Yorubas based on ratio. There are more Yoruba pure English speakers in Nigeria than other tribes. 5 Likes |

bittyend: ^Lol at Hausa. That's laughable because they have arguably the thickest naija accent with Igbos. U know u don't have to support ur tribe everytime. Loosen up, nobody's fighting with u. Besides, she asked for the tribe that speaks the best diction, not the ratio of people in the tribe. There's a difference btw quality and quantity, and I think she meant quality. I personally think the ''H'' factor, which even some well educated yorubas have, and which I deem the funniest thing to come to naija until patience, would kill any of ur chances. Pls don't think I'm insulting u, everybody has their funny sides. |

I go for Hausa tribe not because am an Hausa babe but I just like the way the elite speaks there. Igbo has one bad accent so also Yoruba. |

Niger deltans especially Edo and deltan have the best English they can speak without you easily figuring the tribe they came from unlike Hausa , Yoruba, Ibo, calabar that speak and you can easily figure out their tribe because of their tribal asset Niger deltans have the best asset to English . 4 Likes |

You people are here arguing who speaks English best. English an imported language, it has gotten so bad that our people can no longer speak their indigenous languages anymore, they all want to be like the English man cos they believe the English men are better. Fools, continue being foolish. Why can't they (the English men) be competing on who speaks our indigenous languages better 3 Likes |

Temi231: Hausa English accent is sweet but they don't speak the best English |

If you meet a well-educated Hausa man speaking English, you'll understand why many people here said Hausa. |

RedboneSmith: I have huausa friends who speak english and he is school in biu right here in Benin i can play you oue voice note.... You need to hear the awful aboki ascent i clearly had to put my hears down to even know what he was saying, the hausa accent was so terrible in his english..... Just like hearing a calabar man speak english, you will puke My best bet is still edo, ph, bayelsa, delta having the best english accent, because they mostly likely speak pidgin than their own tribal language If you need to hear the voice recording of the hausa guy speaking let me know, for the record he could hear mine perfectly Most of southerners are just tribal insecure to be tagging hausa as having a better accent 2 Likes |
