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

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

Are the Nigerians seeing the quality of finishing in our beautiful railway? I am hoping they can pick some crucial points from us and stop tickling us with their funny finishing

Nigeria can look beautiful too

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.

I think even though mother tongues influence spoken English, our naija brodas have gone overboard

How is sexy language determined? A non nigerian will take a good few seconds of careful listening to tell that a nigerian is speaking English. At first it sounds like a local language

You just don't bother removing your mother tongue accent on English

TayserMahiri:

u gerrit........ many Anglo-phone African countries want to speak British English which may not go along with their accent.

at least....... u need to have ur own originality, even Irishmen don't try to speak like Englishmen despite the fact that they're closer to eachother.

uzzyfire:
are u kidding me , Kenyans accent irritates my ear

but Kenyan pronunciations are not off the chart.

For me , every new accent I listen to sounds refreshing.

sincerely speaking ,Nairobi have few nice places but most of these "nice " places are mostly dominated by Indians and whites fellas, Nairobi CBD have this advantage of it location, the location which is very close to the airport gives a good impression of the city and even the country at large,imagine having an airport at VI,IKoyi or even Lekki.
while I was at Nairobi , I stayed at a place called Karen ("posh place "where literally all the politicians, and whites stays) this place was provided by the company i worked with,and this was based on the contract agreement signed,the agreement was to be provided with a safe and conducive areas, this so called"posh reserved" area not only have bad roads but does not by any means qualify to be rated above an average places in Abuja and Lagos,also, prior to leaving for kenya I had a very good impression of a nice "black African city" ,but I was wrong, my first disappointment came when I realised that an average black Kenyan does not see that the economy of the nation ain't longer in their hands rather in the hand of few Indians, Somalis and white people, best estates, supermarkets,shops,restaurants, hotels and other big business are owned by these few guys ,one can hardly go to a cinemas where Indian movies r not given priority above other movies let say Kenyan or even english movies, go to the industrial areas along airport roads and see how over 98% of the companies are owned by these Indians ,go to this so called "nice" places ,Karen,Westland,parkland,muthaiga, spring valley,lavington.. and see how very few the black Kenyans are , blacks in kenya mostly stays in a very low areas with very poor facilities and the funny thing is the fact they stay not too far from where the Indians and white stays .so, I would summarise my Nairobi experience as, a place designed for few whites,Indians and tourist.
also, one would think it's only Nairobi that has this challenges but the truth is that, almost all Kenyan cities have same issues from Nakuru to naivasa, from Mombasa to malindi , from malindi to ukunda, from ukunda to eldoret, they all have this same issue of self delusional, myopic reasoning, they are all too blind to see what's going on, and it really pains me a lot. I have this friend from eldorate he once said this to me "it too late now ,we can never do any thing to these Indians ,any attempt to take back out economy from them means total collapse of our economy and we don't want to experience what happened to Zimbabwe and Uganda"
I just laughed and ended the conversation...

Karen was overtaken decades ago by places like Kabete, Kitusuru, etc Many people are also building their homes in the rural places.

Don't be so quick to judge. There are whites in Karen who are descendants of settlers who got the land for free but a century later, they are barely surviving. Not all white people are rich.

The place is more of a college district nowadays.

NairobiWalker:


I don't think it's about not seeing the good places. I think he's just a bitter loser. He's been bitter towards Kenyans on this thread since day one. Everything good he gives credit to foreigners and he completely has nothing good to say about Kenyans. He's probably into some illegal business and gets bitter every time the Kenyan authorities are on him.

He's bitter coz he has too much unnecessary pride in him
