Nonsense.

I once almost lost one pussy like dat because of my onicha dialect.

I kept telling the bish to allow me to pless and suck her bless very well.

At a time, the bish got angry and stood up to leave.

The bish told me that my teeth is as sharp as lazor and it has cut her nipples and the thing is already peppeling her.

But she said she can't leave me with my election just rike that.

Such a considerate and caring bish.

I still miss that bish to this day. shocked

Bigmugu:
Popular OAP and presenter, Ebuka Uchendu, has spoken on the Nigerian accent via his Twitter page.

According to the BBNaija host, he once lost an advert gig because his accent was too Nigerian for the brand.

His tweet read thus;

He wrote “I once lost a presenter gig because my accent is too Nigerian, but it never stopped me from being true to myself and fully embracing my individuality. Don’t ever feel pressure to conform, you can actually break the norm because truly all our dreams are valid “.

Grade? As per Yorubatic, that will say epp instead of help. Or hausatic, that will say nigeriya instead of Nigeria.

Mr. Tribal bigot, Nigeria as an entity has accent.

That's true, but let me add, that you most instead adapt to succeed.

Don't mind Ebuka...Southern Nigeria has a beautiful English accent.
I've lost count on the number of times the BBC pronounced Nigeria as the country with the best English accent.
Many African countries are copying Nigeria’s English accent because it's sweet to the ears.
However, northern Nigeria’s English accent is quite different from that of the south.
