I cant stand the Igbo, Scouse, Aussie and Cockney Accents, as well as the American Southern drawl. I love the British Received Pronounciation accent. Blooming Marvelous |

Come to think of it, Gay guys seem to have a distinct accent. They tend to speak like they have sugar or honey in their mouth. Who concurs with me? |

Why is everyone here discussing foreign accents? We are Nigerians and this site should be for Nigerians. Lets discuss Nigerian. And not try to pretend. I love Everthing Nigerian we've all got accents irrespective of where we come from. It shows the dominant tones. Edo, Hausa, Fulani, Yourba with all the variants, Igbo, Calabar, Waffi Ijaw, Ilaje, Tiv, Birom, Urhobo and Igala. Thats food for discussion. |

Cant stand the 'I never learnt to speak English properly, but i now play football in Europe' accent eg Austin Okocha |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by kojeiwa(m): 10:26pm On Jul 13, 2007 |
Even though Ghana and Nigeria are of British colony, I noticed we pronounced words differently apart from the accent. Like instead of HER, they will say HEH, instead of PURSE, they will say PERSE. My Ghanian friend always laugh at me that Nigerians don't know how to speak the Queen's English. |

Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by chiogo(f): 12:59am On Jul 14, 2007 |
I find all accents both annoyin' and fascinatin'. |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by bluesky4(f): 1:06am On Jul 14, 2007 |
i got to admit, when ur on a bus and a nigerian person is speakin on the phone, their accent annnoys the hell out of me. It sounds sooo aggressive at times, espcially the yorouba. What i find funny, is when u dont expect some1 to sound like how they look. Like when u hear an old chinese person with a cockney accent. |
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by folanusi(m): 11:45am On Jul 14, 2007 |

Love the British accent. The southern accent from the US most especially those from Oklahoma, North and South Carolina and Mississippi makes you want to puke. And guess what, those are the real racist ones. Remember Bush from Texas, yeah you know whom I am talking about. Mr "DECIDER" the "SUBLIMINABLES". |
