One thing that really pisses me off is when I hear Nigerians that have never even smelled airport air before, speaking funee, whats up with that?
are the people suffering from inferiority complex or something?
I listen to Nigerian radio stations online and the only station that i listen to frequently is Wazobia fm because they are literally the only radio station that i know of that the presenters don't speak in some ghetto a$s accent and some of them cannot decide on what accent they want to use, one minute,they are talking with a British accent, the next minute, they are speaking with an American accent. It really irritates my ears when they do that.
The worst ones are the ones that have H factor because while they are struggling to use the funee, they end up mispronouncing some words eg, Tonto Dike, Toke Makinwa and they obviously have no clue of how stupid they sound.

Just as if you haven't seen anything!

What about those nigerians that travelled to Dubai or any arabian peninsula area coming back to nigeria to speak British or American accent?

Inferiority complex is what is killing us.You are talking about radio presenters,what of girls,You will see most the girls that did not even know how to use tenses trying to speak with American accent.When you listen to most of these girls,tv and radio presenters and other nigerian celebrities,you will decter alot of mistakes in grammatica structure and use of tenses.One thing you must is that most of them use it cover their mistakes.

Well,this has been discussed over and over again.People don't understand that what's important in speaking English is getting your diction right and your accent is just what makes you stand out.

At least they're trying to speak correctly

I have never heard of Nigerians who were not born in America or stayed in America for a looooooong time speak with an American accent.

Please which one? the stupid accent that Toke Makinwa uses or the one that some of these Nollywood people use? I even know some people that have never left the state that they live in , yet they still talk in some queer a$s accent that up till today i still wonder where they got it from.
