mykeljosef: I think the "American 1" came out stronger. But the "tune" of it was British, I guess the lady confused him I didn't hear anything Australian though. Just a Nigerian accent in the beginning 1 Like |

I find this his new accent and persona very false and pretentious and this is what our problem is in Nigeria, always quick to distance ourselves from where we come from once we see white people or see a little bit of money. there's a difference between speaking clearly enough for your intended audience to understand and faking a combination of 3 fake accents because you want to show you have arrived. can you imagine how stupid a French person will sound trying to put on an American/English accent ? this is exactly what wizkid is doing. I was born and lived the best part of 17 years in the .uk and I don't have a fake accent, same goes for my siblings. this young man goes for less than 6 months and develops a 3 way accent. I cringed when I saw that Glo advert on tv. Anyway, whatever works for him sha 3 Likes |

I see nothing wrong with the guy's accent. So you people expect him to be speaking local accent at an international stage there. English language was never a local language, and there is nothing wrong if it's spoken the way it should be spoken and understood by his targeted audience which in that interview was never we Africans. Naija wise up. 1 Like |

lovelygurl:NIGERIA ACCENT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND. Maybe he got tired of spelling words or repeating himself and he gets oh you meant to say 'water'? Speak to be understood. I have a mix of accents, Nigerian, London cockney, East anglia accents and a strong ajegunle pidgin accent that can't be compromised. And no be faking. The guy is a Nigerian export so should speak to be understood Oga born and bred most of 17yrs of his life, how do you explain nigerians in UK for 30 years but have a strong African accent? Ans: lack of exposure and inferiority complex. No be everyone wey go school dey educated |

bolayei: You think so? I love the Nigerian accent lol. Especially pidgin, man the flow is just soooooo I have a mixture of German, Nigerian and British (because of our English teacher who wanted to change our accent by force ) It really sounds pathetic. I can't speak a language without an accent |

why is he using the word "like" after every phrase .? its like he used that word a zillion times...kilode! But really, its only sounding british to us because we are not used to real british accent. That will sound un-british to a real british ear. |
