TayserMahiri:There is no such thing as a Nigerian accent, rather there are Nigerian accents. However l agree there is a Nigerian way of speaking, but the accent of an Hausa man is totally different from that of the Igbos whom you know more from Nollywood. As for the manner of speaking, the South in general, speak similarly because of the general pidgin English and it's tone. 1 Like |

rvp20182:Well the world knows more about Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe than any Ngugi in literature. Nigerians are literature giants, this is not to be disputed. As for the English language, ask the Ghanians, Seirrealeonians, Liberians and all members of West African Waec, who the popular authors of the English books they read are. l want peace for the world, and l appreciate peace makers, but a noble price in peace is not what Africans should be dominating now. lt shows Africa has only been a place of conflict with no meaningful human endeavour. |

Daejoyoung: So what did they rank in the sexiest accent ranking? You cannot judge yourselves, you have to sit there and wait for people who are outside your bubble tell you how you speak GENERALLY. Those subtle differences you perceive are imperceptible to us out here. 1 Like |

Daejoyoung: No, Africans should be known for mastering literature in the language of their former masters. Makes sense now. PS - Our Nobel laureate didn't get the prize for solving a conflict, she got it for conserving the environment. That's why Nairobi (and all Kenyan cities and towns) is beatiful with greenery every where while Nigerian cities are either concrete jungles, dirty slums or rusty iron sheets with no trees. 1 Like |

TayserMahiri:That's why l said the pidgin English has brought it's unique tone and made it look like there's a general accent. Buhari doesn't have the accent of Obasanjo and Obasanjo doesn't have that of Nwankor Kanu who doesn't have same accent as 2face, etc. lf they do, you let me know here. |

TayserMahiri:No lose to Wales is ever impressive....in a 100 years we never lost against Wales....now we've lost three in a row,a fvcking disgrace really!! Jap(Yes in SA slang) you guys got the pool of death!! but Kenya every now and again gets one over Fiji, expecting you guys to beat Samoa, then hopefully get one over Fiji or NZ....just need to get into those quarter finals!! |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Nobody: 11:06pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
Daejoyoung: The sum of all those is what ends up being Nigerian accent. You have all influenced each other in small and big ways to the extent you sound the same all of you! I told your friend I watched Muslim people from Maiduguri speak during The Purge on brothels and they sounded as Nigerian as any. |

Daejoyoung: Its really immaturish. If my dad spoke like that to me I might smite him! It kinda sounds like begging or something along those lines. Cant even find the correct words to describe that kind of talk. |
Re: Kenya Is Ahead of Nigeria In All Aspect (Facts Don't Lie) by Obi1kenobi(m): 11:28pm On Jun 05, 2018 |
gallivant: Not really. It's our own idiosyncratic way of speaking. Irish people speak in their own way. Indians have their peculiar mannerisms. South Africans have theirs - whether Zulus or Afrikaners. Brazilian Portuguese has so evolved than the average Portuguese man doesn't understand it. The notion we must all speak like British people is pretty stewpid. But then you're clearly not the sharpest bulb upstairs. 4 Likes |

TayserMahiri:That's because you don't know how to say it. l can imagine the way a Kenyan would say it would make it sound like he's begging. Listen to comedian Bovi if you can, then you'll learn how pidgin is spoken in warri for instance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfZmWpz3dok 2 Likes |

TayserMahiri: Why would something that is part of who we are embarrass me. It's like telling a Khoisan in South Africa that their language with all the weird clicks doesn't sound human and asking them whether it's not embarrassing. Funny enough Khoisans think other groups' languages sound like monkey chatter. Perhaps, our way of speaking sounds childish to you. It doesn't to me who has heard it all my life. I can't say I know how Kenyans speak cos I haven't seen many Kenyans speak or been observant enough when I have. Else, I'd probably say the same about how you speak. Nigerians and Ghanaians mock each other's way of speaking. Perhaps we all just need some maturity in the world to understand those who are different. 2 Likes |

gallivant: I paid plenty of attention and speak and write it very well. The problem wasn't your grammar, which a 5-year-old could interpret, so don't flatter yourself. You just didn't make any logical sense with your ramblings. What did your rambling about Enugu have to do with anything we're talking about here? 1 Like |

Obi1kenobi: I think you hit the point with your last sentence. In the spirit of maturity, I can say that the way Nigerians speak, especially as seen from the Bovi Video shared just above, from our perspective as Kenyans, the Nigerian way of speaking and mannerism resembles what we consider to be childish or immature behavior. Or is it because he is a comedian? Honestly, I would never take you seriously if you speak to me like that all the time. I'd think you are ever in a childish mood. |
