NACE13: I've not watched John Wick, but none of the other people you mentioned have a scouse accent, Chris is even Australian, though he does attempt to do a southern English accent in some movies. Here are examples of the scouse (Liverpool) accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWAUrHODRWM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eALDOPFZLg 1 Like |

AndroBlaze:I disagree. There's a general Nigerian accent. This is the accent that is spoken without little to no mother tongue interference. This accent is also common in federal and private universities. For instance if you go to covenant university and pick two Nigerians of different ethnicities, you likely would not be able to tell they were of different ethnicities from their accent because they both speak little to no mother tongue interferences. So yes theres a general Nigerian accent and their also regional accents. An Igbo man who grew up in his village would likely sound different from an Igbo man that grew up in the city. Wole Soyinka and Chinua Achebe are Nigerians of different ethnicities but they both speak a Nigerian accent 2 Likes |

Sadteen: Though your post makes sense, I feel you are mixing up a few things. Firstly, IMO the late Chinua Achebe spoke with an accent where you could tell he was educated in the East. Though he and Soyinka both went to UI, he kept a slight Eastern twang that is audiblie. And even if you insist both sound alike, that generations accent is not similar to your typical Convenant generation you talked about earlier. Now I do agree with you that it would be hard to tell the ethnicity of a typical Convenant student nowadays and that they sound similar. But I, nor the English Language, actually ever linked an accent to exclusively your ethnicity - I used the word groups when diccussing accents; as I am aware the main determiners of your accent are the people you learnt it from and that you practice it with. So if we agree that a group of young people who go to Convenant and UNILAG and co have the same accent, which has little mother tounge influence, would we now call that the "Nigerian" accent? Does that mean we did not have a Nigerian accent in the 30's or 40's? Or what about the majority of the other millions who speak English and did not go to these privileged schools, are their accent snow in the minority? So I do agree with you that their is a Nigerian young educated people accent with less mother tongue influence, however I do not think it has risen to such prominence that it should be called the "Nigerian Accent" and not just another nigerian accent like the many others accents of English we speak within this diverse country. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON7-G0XqJrc

AndroBlaze: My bad, I didn't delete what I wanted to post initially. I was gonna say I hate the scouse accent because they sound Scottish and Irish mixed together but I consider the standard British accent the sexiest; I love the way Idris Elba, Jason Statham and that man in John Wick speak. I also hate the way most ghetto black British speak, you know, that "grime rap" accent (Skepta and Stormzy). So Chris is Australian?! Very difficult to tell British from Australian accent |
