Nigeria is one of the worst when it comes to english speaking. But, nowadays most of parents don't want their children to speak their native language.
I want to know the countries in Africa that are colonized by British, that speak correct British English.

I beg to disagree. Kenyans do not speak the British English as it should be.

What do you mean by correct British English?

None!

If there was any - we all won’t need to write Toefl and IELTS to get an admission to study abroad.

None.....you cannot separate a man from his mother tongue

The way an Indian man will speak English is different from Africans cos of mother tongue.

Even Americans have to create their own English cos they found challenges with British English and that give birth to American English

If the Scott and the Irish can't speak Queens English I wonder why a Nigerian should.
Nigeria was doing very well before the advent of automatic promotions and sorting in our schools.

you think Nigerians speak good English we are just like India. You think your English is good cause you speak it and hear it by yourself, it like smelling your own Saint. You can never know how you smell unless someone tell you. I had a friend in Canada, when we speak he always laugh and tell us how our English sounds cause of our tongue. Mind you I am Igbo, and you know our English is one of the best in naija.

am a Ghanaian and that's how those words are pronounced in English by the British native speakers .Below is the phonetics spellings in the Merriam Webster Dictionary. The fact that there's an "O" or "or" doesn't mean we should pronounced the words in "or".There's a way of pronouncing words just as Ph and knife,known,psychology etc are pronounced. Ghanaians adopted our pronunciations.Look below the word for the right phonetic spelling and pronunciation not the raw spelling.

So even with Ghana, upon all these centuries of practicing English due to the English or British being with us for over 300 years and all our forefathers and current leaders trained and schooled in England, our native language sometimes get caught up with us with the pronouncing example instead of saying "dactar" we say "doctar" and instead of saying "accemedashen" we say "accommodeshen" buh we get majority of the pronouncing right though and our accent is raw buh we break and pause words just as the British so we don't speak faster like the American.
