naija english sounds more like Nigerian...its like a naija dude speakinghis native language..its not that bad though

keep up the sarcasm. I know it's the kenya accent that sounds alot like Swahili.

TayserMahiri:


Keep deceiving yourself. It seems mass delusion is a common thing in Nigeria. Nigeria is just like any other country in the world. Except you guys are doing a pretty good job bleeping it

its our politicians that are duin d good job

Maybe yorubas n Igbos here can help us out

As for yoruba, i think Abi, Shebi, Ashawo, Oya, gbedu, aso-ebi, iyawo, olosho, Omoge n many more are all pidgin words of yoruba origin
While Igbo i think, Oga, Akamu, Oyibo, Una, Obodo, n many more i cnt recall.

freshest4live:

Can you imagine Kenyans saying our accent was a turn off? Lol. The Kenyan, Tanzanian and Ugandan accent makes me cry.

they even copy our accent

oyinbo will be credited to yoruba.and igbo. consider igbo and yoruba arguement. look at this example for yoruba. o yin bo. you peel it off. Just to express how white men look why igbo may argue oyin is their word. Take a look at these . Oyin yoruba ,oyin igbo ,oyin hausa.

you identify a Nigerian, when he start speaking
The pronunciation of most consonant are wrong

Whoosh. I really find this argument about which black africans speak better English language as absurd. I wish all black Africans had a unifying African language to boast of.

MtuMsuper:

Kansiime is from western Uganda from bakiga people. That is their normal,trademark accent. In Kenya, people tend to form humour around accents and the one from western Uganda is very hilarious to the Kenyan ear, so they imported her along with her jokes for tv. If you ever travel to Uganda, you will hear that accent alot. Even in Uganda, there are many accents. As an African, you should know accents and tribal origin are like 5 and 6!

Oh I like Kansime. She is funny .
Many Nigerians think she is Kenyan. Actually, most Nigerians may not be able to tell East africans apart, except the horners.
I also think or see Kenyans n Ugandans to have the same or similar accents.

all I know is that I didn't instigate it

popizaino:
I watch citizen tv too as well and I can't see any difference in their accent with that of kansime.

Me too buh i love it tho.
I find it interesting listening to different African accents.

I grasp d Yoruba part, but d igbo part do not correlate at all. d guy's explanation on dat thread was vague. Is wahala really Arabic?

KingGBsky:
Nigeria is greater better and more prosperous than any other African country.
#Fact.
Let's take a look at it.
Firstly the name the giant of Africa was given to us because of how the world sees us compared to other Africans.
Countries like South Africa, Kenya and some other African countries keep chasing us out of their country and angry with Nigerians who reside in the countries simply because they see how prosperous we immediately become while living in their various countries.
Nigeria is not all about the infrastructure and all that. But the people. We have a great name abroad not because of what Nigeria possesses but simply because of what they see us become.
Nigeria is massively respected in other African countries.
An inlaw of mine who had just finished working in Kenya in some couple of months told me a story of how the Kenyans treat them with great respect simply because they are Nigerians. They would even call others to come see Nigerians are around the area.
We know things are not going right in the country but believe me, that still does not change how other countries feel or think about Nigeria and Nigerians.
Nigeria is a great country no matter what you think.

Coool, i admire the artistic designs of these Ghanaian caskets. I've watched a documentary on their making, buh i don't know why i find it really absurd n ridiculous.
