Famous tongues;King suny Ade Omotola jalade ekehinde,
Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach. Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.
Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth

jamaican accent is rugged

i feel so sexy at moment, tempted to touch my self

On the other hand, I think Ghanians have the worst accent, followed by South Africans. That's not even mentioning phonetics; weck , feck.

Cant afford to lose my nigerian accent not because of any sexiness but because i cant be conversing with my mum and with nigerians at home, like a foreigner.

I had a relative who forgot his dialect after a long sojourn away from home and it was taken very negatively. People thought he was being snobbish.

Not a good situation at all and in such instances, you might as well stay away completely.

Naija for Life

Will this encourage Nigerians that travel to the UK or USA even for one week and speak with fake accents to stop the fakeness?

I'd say :
1) Italian
2) Spanish
3) French

Nayah:

^^lol

anyway, @ topic

it has to be, actually, going by level of attractiveness to non-nigerians.

What is Nigerian accent? Dont they mean Yoruba accent?

King sUNNY ade and Omotola are both Yorubas. There is no such thing as a Nigerian accent.

Atleast it shows that despite the nature of our accent, it is still being appreciated worldwide.

So, where is the actual link to the CNN ranking of accents? I mean I get that Nigerian blogs and media don carry the story far but where exactly did it originate from? Any links to the actual CNN/CNNGo page or tweet?
